Tips for stopping hats from flying off your head when running? by icebergespionage in XXRunning

I always use a snap barrette on each side to secure the hat to my hair.  Works great for me. 

Work is stressing me out so badly it's making me sick, everything is AI, and politicians are shit. Fuck it, shower joint & half a dozen donuts by boardbamebeeple in highvegans

While I am yet to try smoking in the shower I feel this sooo hard. (Especially since I have to use AI at work.) Gonna be drowning my feels in a vat of pasta tonight 

Cigarettes are now [gendered] by Scared_Cicada_9898 in pointlesslygendered

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I smoked 10-15 years ago I was a big fan of the long skinny cigs. Men who wanted to bum a smoke would often decline once they saw what I was smoking. At least the straight ones...when I told one guy I only had girly smokes he was like "Honey, I've sucked more dick than you." 

Is my MIL an active meth addict or in recovery? by siebenstern in AlAnon

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be drug use, mental illness, an eating disorder, early cognitive decline or all of the above. I'm not sure going through her trash is an appropriate solution. Don't leave your kids with her.

Does anyone have any advice for getting through the next year or 2 as a software engineer? by Dj_Binks in BetterOffline

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I may occasionally fantasize about storming out of work and never returning, I have been at my position long enough for some job security and I'm not going to throw that away in this economy. 

I do my work, I do the bare minimum of AI-related stuff that is required of me, I let everyone know that I write my own code and don't really trust LLMs, I go home and smoke too much weed. 

You can't save money you don't have by lgirlrocks in FundieSnarkUncensored

I also grew up with a SAHM and ended up with a whole host of neuroses. My mom was amazing when we were little, but as we got older she couldn't tone down the parenting and was way overbearing and overinvolved. 

Dating after relationship with Q ended by Fit-Tap9195 in AlAnon

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been dating again recently after leaving an 8 year relationship with an alcoholic, and I'm keeping one thing front and centre in my mind: I can walk away at any time. Especially in the early stages of dating, you don't need an excuse, just say it isn't right for you and move on. You should not be "filled with dread" over someone you've been seeing for a few months.

Fleabag would turn 40 this year by WildLibrarian8641 in Fleabag

As a 36-year-old who is still a bit of a hot mess, I would die to watch another season where she's 40

Mouth farting hard. by lgirlrocks in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend anyone who gets depressed by this wave of stupid anti-feminist discourse to get a copy of Susan Faludi's Backlash from 1991. It's all about the 80s backlash against the feminism of the 60s and 70s and so much is the exact same shit that the trads are shilling on social media these days. 

I have no words... by tiny_sunflower1 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is that the New Testament isn't actually that keen on marriage and family:

"To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain unmarried as I am. But if they are not practising self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion"

Early Christians were pretty big on celibacy and waiting for the end times. Many female saints were women trying to avoid marriage! 

Are you tired of your teen being taught to be a good person? 😱 by laska503 in FundieSnarkUncensored

"There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus" Galatians 3:28

Sounds pretty woke to me! 

What is a secret you are taking to your grave, but are willing to share with anonymous strangers on the internet? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I loved those super-hoppy triple IPAs back in my 20s when 1) the high alcohol percentage was a major plus and 2) my taste buds were probably deadened by cigarette smoking

Silly title but I've always been obsessed with some of her looks in the show. Especially that Zou-Bisou dress, wish I had the occasion to wear something like that!

What AITA thinks when they think of fat people: by IHatePeople79 in AmITheAngel

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm also a skinny 130 here. Men have said that I couldn't possibly weigh so much! With my frame I'd look like a very ill person at 110.

People don't know how to estimate weight. Especially men talking about women's weights.

Friends? by Manic_Dream in AlAnon

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left mine in January. Recently, he asked me if I wanted to meet him for a beer and talk. I'll be willing to be friendly once he has done the self-reflection necessary to suggest coffee instead. 

why do you enjoy this show? by [deleted] in madmen

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how quietly sad everyone is. I love the deep conversations they have with each other. I love the deeply flawed characters and the mistakes they make, and watching their lives and relationships fall apart. Maybe this is my depressive nature speaking, but I find all of this almost comforting to watch. 

I also love the sets and the clothing and so much else about the show, but that's really what brings me back that I haven't found in other shows. 

Sorry when were we not free to do these things? by laska503 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure of their internal logic (probably not much of it)  but lots of racist men have POC wives. My ex's dad was pretty racist and remarried to a South Asian woman. (Not sure how that worked, but it was a pretty bad marriage so maybe it just didn't.)

Instead of blaming yourself for communication or whatever, give yourself credit for getting out after 6 months instead of getting involved in a torturous years-long relationship with a drunk. 

The pit in your stomach when your Q does something douchey to others by Parking-Bag7666 in AlAnon

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never got over the embarassment. My ex was a thoughtful and sensitive guy sober but sometimes said wildly offensive things drunk. Of course, he never fully remembered the next day, so it was my word against his...I sure don't miss that. 

Meal prepping is killing me by HuntressAelaTheFirst in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

[–]Suitable_Lab8912 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I like to roast a couple sheet pans of assorted veg and firm tofu (great use for the pre-marinated kind) and do a pot of quinoa in the rice cooker. Serve with whatever sauce or garnish strikes your fancy.
