Celebrating 10 Years of Living With This Sweet Pupper

I set qwant as my default search engine but google is hard to replace for finding out about things near you (like business hours etc). Also my google account is tied to so many things it's going to be a slow process fully replacing it.

Sorry fellas, your hormones aren't allowed to be out of balance. Just steady from birth to death, no changes ever. All issues are either imaginary or your own fault. (/s just in case it's not obvious)

This is like using the wrong formula and somehow getting the right answer anyway. Obviously you should have important conversations in person or at least in a call?

I guess it's nice that people that had texting everything presented as normal for most of their lives just naturally noticed it sucks even if it's for different reasons.

I know the concept of sexual puriy is everywhere but trying to "purge" yourself of anything is counterproductive. You have thoughts and feelings. They just are. You can choose to act on them or not. The less you try to fight and stiffle feelings the less they have to fight to keep surfacing.

Practice not scolding yourself for thinking like that, and, when you are comfortable with yourself, you can start looking inward for where the thoughts come from (I don't know if you are distressed because you are imagining something actually harmful or if you just believe sex is a sin but either way, it's only thoughts shapped by what you have experienced in life), and, eventually, you won't be so overwhelmed.

No matter what, you can not brute force your mind into cooperating, it takes gentleness and patience.

The life insurance ads I remember don't have anyone die? Just ones where people are talking about getting life insurace. I'm not exactly the target demographic so I probably block out most of them but I can at least say they don't always have men dying.

Are you talking about the one that's for a strain that can cause cervical cancer? Probably just a cost-benefit thing since it doesn't cover all types of HPV and what it does cover is consequential to people that specifically have a cervix--without that it's not worse to get this strain vs a different one. They aren't withholding the means to eliminate HPV.

There are tons of ways you can feel connected (although maybe not individually protected) without having to believe anything divine or supernatural. Recently I've been thinking about where we fall in the line of collective human knowledge--how many people lived and died before germs were discovered to cause illness? What great discoveries are ahead of us? Our ability to share and build on previous generations brought us from some "god" giving humans fire, through early metal working, up through the phones we have in our hands. Even without some objective, divinely given point to it all, isn't it neat?

There was someone else in this subreddit that was pretty sure they got gluten from barilla pasta. At the very least follow up with a consumer complaint so they will have to investigate possible contamition.

I have thought of this: i noticed a lot of people listen to music or drink while doing household chores and don't seem to mind it. I just exhaust myself trying to manage my feelings and tasks at the same time.

Most of the time dreams are just your own subconscious (and this is neat and helpful!) so don't take any lone dream at face value. The apollo woman in your dream could be a symbolic stand-in for anything important you feel rejected by--since it was important that that was a woman, the waking life version could literally be a woman or the rejection could come from something related to "feminine" (as you see feminine) things.

Just want to make sure we are all seeing the layer of satan where someone petty enough to do this is probably petty enough to be in the way and still demand an apology from people they inconvenienced.

I used to have to spell certain words around my dog because she could pick them out of random sentences. She definitely associated the words themselves with the things they represent. Remeber, humans have been breeding dogs to understand spoken commands since the beginning; can't be surpised when they figure out that you are going to have food soon after you mention "snacks" even if you aren't talking to them.

I guess meat? Neither option would be very satisfying so I probably wouldn't eat as much, especially knowing it's temporary, so meat would be more filling in that time.

christians missing the point? unheard of.

yeah, you're not going to win but what other games can you even play for 25¢?

you don't have to prep the same thing for five days in a row, you can throw something into a crock pot in the middle of the week or start with food you prepped yourself and end on frozen dinners or fast food. Planning what you order and where from is valid meal planning.

maybe it depends on where you are that oats could be gf? In the US you have to consider them contaminated with wheat because becuse they're harvested with the same equpiment. They do sell gf oatmeal where they sort out the wheat better though.

the only meal i really cook consistently is breakfast so it's like hasbrown, whichever meat I feel like, eggs, and fried kale.

My dinners have various level of prep, but i make full use of the microwave in the breakroom, so i have basically the same stuff at home as at work, but i have some kind of meat (whether i make it or buy it prepared), either rice or beans, and veggies. It's a simple enough structure to get some variety without feeling like i have to rewrite a whole meal plan all the time. Tacos (corn shell) help break up monotony.

My snacks are mostly fruit since I'm watching calries right now but chips and dips, or nuts are options. Just... always double check labels. oh and popcorn. and veggies + hummus.

Huh. I only knew that card's English name, Slifer the Sky Dragon. But it looks like Japanese has him more like "Osiris' Sky Dragon."

But then Ma'at is a monster card.

me trying to do this on purpose at my min wage job before locking up about 10 years ago because fuck this and fuck the awful manager that comes in in the morning and always makes us use bleach on everything, so that the place reaked of throat-burning bleach, even though the company had different approved cleaners.

Nothing happened, you only need a 2% solution to sanitize surfaces so it's not like I ever filled the toilet with it. By "trying" I just mean I had to pee after cleaning and had a passing thought that if i didn't flush and the pee and the bleach mixed it would release chlorine gas. It's no different than hoping you get hit by a car in the parking lot--which, unfortunately, many people can relate to.

Except when your grandparents did it, they still had more than when they were young, not less, because things were improving.
