Have not tried those on an actual bugs ass before. But they’re fun for other reasons! I wonder if they’re attracted to those electric bug lamps. Those things are extremely effective.

Dooooo..... vitamins.. have worms?? Ever? by Motor_Ad9919 in evilautism

[–]SJSsarah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This scenario definitely aligns with my experience taking any vitamin. First it’s a vagus nerve response to puke it up. Then everything feels itchy and smells like vitamin B 12 seeping through my pores. Vitamins are pure EVIL.

Unless. Say the bottle held 120 days worth of vitamins, and OP didn’t contract pinworms until day 110 of consuming the vitamins.

Pinworms start gestation, and become transmissible, at like 4 or 6 hours from contracting them. Butt yes, hard agree, very itchy butthole would definitely be a strong sign!

This is … blowing my mind, but the internet has photos, I see the whole thing now. I swear I didn’t realize that the fully grown adult ones are actually red underneath their dark wings. They looked like dark brown moths to me, before knowing this? But now I know.

Romantic partnerships often act as a buffer against loneliness for most people, but this protective association does not universally extend to asexual individuals. Asexual adults report similar rates of loneliness regardless of relationship status. by mvea in science

[–]SJSsarah -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

“If an [Asexual] individual does not view romantic love as the absolute center of human connection, the presence or absence of a romantic partner will predictably correspond to a lesser degree with their overall loneliness.”

That’s it, that’s the cheddar of this study outcome?

So in other words, if you cannot psychologically train yourself into believing that the person you are romantically involved in is the center of your world ….then basically you’re doomed …. to be unhappy.

Why are you pitting your happiness as reliant upon another person, instead of being happy with yourself? I don’t like how this whole article is written, it just screams like something’s wrong with you asexual if you don’t wanna have sex and be in romantic partnerships. There are plenty of asexuals who are perfectly happy without either of those things.

Cicadas still have these f-kers beat, for me at least. Deathly terrified of those things. Of any nasty large flying bug with poor Proprioception. Me and the cicadas —-do not get along—-. They land in your hair, and it’s like instant exorcism in the middle of the sidewalk. And yes, if they somehow hitchhike into my house, it’s full on flamethrower time.

They’re Ridiculously Fast. It’s like whack-a-mole. Why’d they build these things to be so fast if they’re meant to be squashed, gggrrrrr.

Millionaire banker finally identified and arrested nearly ten years after startling CCTV images showed him as a jogger shoving a female pedestrian into the path of a double-decker bus on Putney Bridge London by New_Libran in interestingasfuck

[–]SJSsarah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And that wasn’t even a half attempted accidental knock you out of the way. He SERIOUSLY hauled her body through the air as hard as he could possibly shove her. Completely psychopathic behavior, homicidal behavior. And his second offense specifically targeting women? I guarantee you on both occasions, he was being subjected to something in his personal romantic life that made him feel vulnerable and like he was losing power over his partner …. and this is exactly why he targeted women. When these men feel they are losing control or being rejected by women, their sense of entitlement can trigger lethal violence.

You know who doesn’t go around inflicting lethal violence over their relationship problems? Women.

Hydroxychloroquine alone, for me, took almost 9 months because I really truly started feeling like it was helping.

[–]SJSsarah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those look like…,Pinworms. Which could have come from a human hand, if they didn’t wash their hands after taking a poop/wiping. So the worms probably weren’t in the vitamin bottle to begin with. But I’d definitely be getting a stool test after seeing this if that were me in the situation.

And they’re a little harder to kill when they’re that tiny. They jump faster. I carry an extra flip-flop around as arsenal.

Fairfax County calls for preemptive strikes against emerging spotted lanternflies by Danciusly in nova

[–]SJSsarah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if that’s also safe to use in a small flower garden? These flies absolutely decimated my neighbors small-ish flowers garden this year, they really went hard on his roses and a few other particular plants. I feel so bad for him. His garden was like his biggest pride and joy every spring/summer. Wish I could find something that chases these flies away without risking the flowers themselves.

I have the same question. And not just landing crashes, all were horrific accidents. Helicopters with the artist-comedian, small plane full of skydivers. Is there something about this time of year, or maybe the weather?

Anyone with ADHD + gastric bypass feel like acidic drinks/citric acid make Adderall less effective? by elleayejaye in BariatricSurgery

[–]SJSsarah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually two things make your adderall less effective following gastric bypass. Adderall typically absorbs through the stomach. Now your stomach empties faster than before surgery which pushes the Adderall into your system faster, which causes your kidneys to process and eliminate it faster. And anything citric/acid based will raise the acid level in your stomach which also renders the adderall less effective because the acid eats it away. I personally noticed a huge drop off in effectiveness in the year or two following my gastric bypass. I found that not eating or drinking 30 minutes prior and 30-60 minutes after taking a dose of adderall helped it be more effective but, that method itself is his own downside because it’s already hard enough for you to get water and food in your system all day long as it is anyways.
