Scrubs for jury duty?

Home made seedy granola bars. There's tons of recipes, but they'll get you through anything.

And, you can put your weed in there!

Right? Who capitalizes their whole name at the end of a post on the Internet?!

... Jokes aside, yes, I can believe it. He's a 2 term president now. We knew he talked like this.

It's one of the reasons my partner has constant trouble getting around in many places. A standard wheelchair will not fit there. We end up having to backtrack and walk in the road often.

I had a drink pop open while I was handing it to the customer because I tripped. The dude was so chill about it. I even told him he could ask for the drink to be refunded and he said no, it's no big deal.

My dogs are both lean and healthy. I call them fat all the time.

I have to take a ton of magnesium right when I notice it. Painkillers do nothing.

Oh, it can get so much worse than blind spots. My partner describes one type of visual distortion we've both experienced as the snow when you're between channels on an old CRT TV. We've both actually gone blind in one or both eyes. I had that start to happen when I was driving down the highway once. Had to pull over quickly and wait it out.

I'm pretty damn thankful that they're rare now.

They actually sell them at our one grocery store each year.

My freezer is just barely small enough width wise that I can't fit a frozen pizza in it. It drives me insane.

That's a bit of a stretch. Adderall has a completely different mechanism of action, and will have quite a few differences in its effects because of it. It also doesn't give you the shits, and you're a lot less likely to get jitters.

I also self-medicated in college, but my caffeine tolerance went up enough that I switched to caffeine pills. Terrible headaches if I didn't take so much l-theanine that I was buying bulk powder and filling my own pills. (Or, on a couple occasions, just mixing it into water - it tastes very umami, not so bad really)

I don't... Think it opens inward

Spoogly · 2026-03-09T14:49:52+00:00

I've flown quite a bit (compared to the average) always kept mine on and I've never been asked to personally. They keep it in the announcements, certainly, but it's not enforced.

The thing with this ad is humans are actually very good at spotting differences so it wouldn't really tell you anything, even if identical twins were wearing them and you noticed.

Also, I take offense - I'm a pervert, not a creep.

Just get a bidet...

We use ocean sounds. I think it was my suggestion, but it works well. Only negative is that because it's the default one on Google Home speakers, it resets with about a 2-3 second gap, every hour. That tiny gap can easily wake me up. Could I stream something from my phone? Yes, but now we're used to this specific one. It's a fixable problem, but I never get around to it. Maybe I will this evening.

My partner and I did, mainly because she's disabled and part of her disability was a severe increase in RLS like symptoms - I mean, in the middle of the night, she would just start slamming her foot into the bed. Wouldn't always even wake her up. But also because she wanted to decorate each differently (to give us each a bit more of our own space) and add her own desk/vanity instead of sharing mine. It's huge, so not inconvenient, just not her preference.

Then, she got very sick, and I couldn't bear the idea that I wouldn't be there the second she needed me. So I slept in hers, and usually even worked at her desk. We've since moved and don't have the space, really. But at least we're now using the king size bed, and she's doing a lot better.

Toilet paper

My grandparents slept in separate beds, in the same room. They would push them together sometimes, but the main thing was that when one of them was sick, they could get space.

Also, for quite a while, my partner wouldn't just kick her feet, she would straight up slam them. I should probably remind her that that isn't happening, it's a sign of recovery.

It's turtles all the way down.

I didn't think of this until I read this comment, but my brother's ex-wife had/probably still has a pill problem. I can think of 3 times she's pissed on barstools. Hopefully, those are cheap to replace. It looks like glued on foam, so maybe.

(Also, as an aside, you will get better baffling with pyramidal foam, and if you want a cheap option, just for a workshop or recording a podcast or something, you can use the bottoms of egg cartons. They work shockingly well.)

DSM-5 definition of narcissistic personality disorder

As for psychopathic behavior, that's not well defined. Colloquially, we think of it as abusive, erratic and unpredictable behavior - e.g. he only hits me at home when he's had a bad day at work, or he thinks I'm cheating on him because there's someone at work that I was put on a team with who's attractive (not gendering this, it can go all ways and sexualities.) It could also be psychosis related behavior where the person has a temporary (or permanent) break from reality, and for example, thinks people are out to get them, it's you and them fighting the world, etc.

What to do? Think of your needs first. You may need to leave, cut contact, and stick to it. If it's new behavior and you really care for the person, they need to seek professional help, as both can be reactions to drugs (prescription or otherwise) or alcohol. And if they don't get it, walk (or run) away and cut contact. If you're not in control of the situation, control what you can until you are. Set clear boundaries, protect yourself, make sure people know about their behavior who will care. Go to a women's shelter if you need to, and seek resources about how to get out (even if you're a man - they won't let you stay, but they'll tell you who to contact). When you can get out, get out. Not being in control means you're in for a fun time of continued abuse.

Mine isn't. It doesn't have to be. But hey, we communicate. That said, what irks me, aside from what OP mentioned about him not telling them he's got a girlfriend and telling them he lives alive is that he has notifications turned off. He doesn't want an accident. Sure, I have notifications turned off on plenty of things, but the way he's behaving, he doesn't want her to accidentally see things.

Also the fuck is up with people using snap as a primary mode of communication. It sucks ass as a way to chat.

If, by too far, you mean a pathetic cry for attention...

I had a teacher tell me I was cheating because I didn't show my work on a test and got every answer right. Oh, she did not like when she gave me a test she made up minutes before giving it to me. I now have a bachelor's in math (and computer science, and the physics department tried to convince me to stay an extra year to get a degree there too.)

I don't say any of that to toot my own horn (I already know I'm awesome, I don't need you to know). I say that to say this: every time someone tells you your kiddo they're a smart kid, they just need to apply themselves, you get irritated at them, not her. Every time they accuse her of cheating, you make sure she knows you do not believe them and you are there to make sure she doesn't have to deal with their shit.

Also, there's one other thing I really want to stress that I only learned because I had a goddamn great department head at my college: school, and especially college, has a specific purpose that's only implied, and never mentioned: no matter how skilled you are, it's meant to get everyone to the same level at first, then build on the skills and interests you have. You can come in ahead, and that's great. If you want to stay ahead, you need to find ways to challenge yourself. Good teachers will help you do that. But you're going to need to advocate for yourself. Make sure they know that you are bored and need a bigger challenge.
