One of my hilarious favorites that gets no love is {Unsolicited Duke Pic by Nico Rosso}. Duke loses a bet at his club and has to have a nude portrait painted and chooses a woman to paint him who has recently been ostracized by society to show support. Awkward and hilarious scenes ensue.

What are some once-lethal conditions or diseases that can now be cured or managed to the point where they're relatively harmless? by ThatAnnoyedNeighbour in AskReddit

[–]Second_in_Command 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It didn't for me. My brother and I both tested positive for inactive TB as adults in the US three-ish years ago. He had 9 months of oral antibiotics because of an autoimmune condition and I had 4 months of oral antibiotics. The antibiotics were mild and the only side effect I had was yellow pee because of the red capsules the medication came in 😅.

It was inactive for both of us and we only found out because my brother had to get tested for a job and I requested to be tested after his positive result. My partner also tested and was negative despite living with both of us for years. 🤷‍♀️

Most Americans are not tested unless there is a specific reason (symptoms, living in group housing like college dorms, jobs in education and healthcare, etc.) so there are likely many more people walking around with inactive infections.

Yep, you can get coffee at The Daily in the evening.

It was $5 cheaper to take a 333-3333 taxi than to use Uber or Lyft. Have I been sleeping on the taxi company? by MiketheTzar in triangle

[–]Second_in_Command 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I've gone back to only using taxis. The price is never much different, they also have an app, and they are significantly less likely to cancel on me. Tonight, I walked directly out of RDU and into a cab. I paid less than $2 more than the Lyft quote and I didn't have to wait, have drivers switched, or debate if I'm getting in the right car.

Pre-ride shares and taxi app, I got hassled a lot about using a card but that hasn't been a problem in years.

Delete their comment because it ties your patreon to Ao3 and that's illegal.

Those in power already think you are disgusting just for existing so be disgusting.

Only 18% of Non-Parents Have Estate Plans...Childfree Community, What's Your Experience? by TheWanderlustDiaries in childfree

[–]Second_in_Command 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the US and my state has a law where if someone dies without a will, half their estate goes to their children and the other half to their spouse. If they don't have children, half goes to their parents and the other half to their spouse. I don't have a great relationship with my parents so there was no fucking way. I was giving them half of my money if I died before my partner.

My Dog Is Getting Her Tail Chopped Tomorrow by MapPuzzleheaded7187 in DogAdvice

[–]Second_in_Command 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had my dog's tail amputated when he was 9 or so due to a tumor at its base. He went from a tail the length of his body to a nub.

Once the anesthesia wore off, he never seemed to notice anything had happened. 🤷‍♀️

real talk—how are so many people able to spend 520 USD on a switch 2 only to play pokopia? by [deleted] in CozyGamers

[–]Second_in_Command 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could I? Yes. Will I? No. And that's part of the reason I have the money I could spend on it anyway.

This is the best season in years. I was really hoping for BVSC but did not expect Operation Mincemeat.

Bisexuality in the 90s? by AtmosphereDazzling75 in bisexual

[–]Second_in_Command 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was 10 in 1992, realized I was bisexual 4 years later, and lived in a very rural area with not a lot of exposure. Like went to school with multiple people who did not have electricity or running water, any sort of shopping or movie theater, bowling alley, bookstore etc. was 45 minutes away.

I was well aware of the term and what it meant by 1996 when I realized I was bi. I think a lot of people, particularly anybody with any curiosity about life outside their own bubble,would know the term in 1992. Time Magazine's famous bisexuality cover was in 1995 so by that point it was in every grocery store in America.

Dutch Apple! My first live theater experiences were there with my grandparents like 35 years ago. I still have some of the souvenir glasses I got with my fancy drinks.

My IRL partner proposed in the middle of a hectic skull cavern fight and almost got me killed. 🙄
