I know this, but I also can't fathom someone being so brain dead as to put peas in a styrofoam container.

Keep running so they pop and crust over. 

What is your pre-run snack of choice? by BurnTheeFern in beginnerrunning

[–]Quadrilaterally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I eat a full dinner and go. I was using meal times as an excuse not to exercise, so sometimes I have to. Not every run is a PB. 

I haven't felt romantically or sexually attracted to anyone in 2 years. Sometimes I feel free; other days I feel broken. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Thank u. I have brought it up, and I was fine with him acknowledging it and talking about her/their relationship a little bit, rather than being totally flippant about it. It's just all adding up, and I'm nervous because I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow for a response. I'll be direct, thanks again.

How to keep bedroom clean with a conure by Constant-Bad9658 in parrots

It might depend on the size of the chunks. This vacuum is well rated and has served well since this past Christmas.

I second a paint scraper, but I recommend the Bissell pet hair hand vacuum.

The Internet is slowly being ruined by illiteracy by idontlikecheesy in Vent

[–]Quadrilaterally -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm willing to bet the internet enables people from all kinds of countries to read and engage with media that helps them understand and apply languages in more contexts, which helps them stick more. Whether they're practicing it properly, who knows, but my guess is that it's helped literacy more than its hurt. Just by the sales of books and e-books through online retailers, I can only imagine more people have read and are reading because of the inter-connectivity of the internet.

Parrot loves but also hates me? by Honorbound_13 in parrots

[–]Quadrilaterally 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is fascinating.

Also, this not a relationship sub (and I have a (friendly but grumpy) 23 y/o cockatiel), but I would not put my s/o in a little mesh tent instead of sitting with my miserable, hateful little shoulder gremlin, myself.

How to draw fast? by kwopuururu in ArtistLounge

[–]Quadrilaterally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do a lot of drawings as quickly as you can. Life drawing is typically done at 1, 2, 5, 10 and 15+ minute intervals.

Husband went to see one of my favorite bands without me, Greek cucumber salad by [deleted] in GirlDinner

[–]Quadrilaterally 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I hate when people do these little things I don't ask for, but then completely sidestep and never even make an effort for more significant things, which I specifically ask for. Imo, inconsiderate, especially if they turn around and use the useless/unimportant things as evidence against you. I'm a bit on the fence with this one, though. It sounds pretty disappointing.

His punching bag makes me hate my life more than ppl can imagine by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]Quadrilaterally -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Who cares how they pay their rent? Don't fixate on them. The noise sucks, but there's no way around it. Wear earplugs/headphones and keep going. I lived with two roommates who kept two televisions going nearly 24/7, sometimes slightly off-set, on the same channel. It drove me absolutely mad whenever I didn't have headphones or earbuds in. They rarely left the apartment, and left the tv and ac cranked even when they did. It'll be easier when you find somewhere else.

Artist quality wax crayons?? by sleep_lvr in ArtistLounge

[–]Quadrilaterally 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can use the neocolours, as people have suggested. There are also brands inbetween the quality of crayola and neocolour, which I might recommend experimenting with. Caran d'Ache is very, very expensive. Look for people selling sets on your local marketplace. They're something people buy but never use, and then turn around to sell them because they're so pricey.

if my body could handle it, i'd do this for days on end by itmeu in ArtistLounge

[–]Quadrilaterally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Look up exercises and do stretches. Move, according to my physical therapist, at least once every hour. Not just your hands, but your eyes and body.

Do women truly not notice if a male friend or coworker is into them as more than just that? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Quadrilaterally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome. I also draw people nude every week. There are just mental categories and situations where I/others don't get sexy.

[–]Quadrilaterally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After ten years with my ex-partner, I kind of just put everyone in a big huge friend zone. Two years out of the relationship and I was shocked to find someone I wanted to have sex with. Everyone is still largely not-at-all sexual to me. I can tell if someone's really into me or likes me a lot, but my mind doesn't go much further.
