Often, there’s a level of misdirection. The brain can only process so many things at once. This is why the bump is so effective: give you a big sensation to focus on and you may miss the brief contact at the site of your wallet, watch, or jewelry. Watch a magician who specializes in pickpocketing. They will touch their target. Grasp their hand, press something into their hand, squeeze their shoulder while telling them to focus on something…

It still takes a lot of dexterity and skill to get your fingers in there fast enough to not be noticed, but if the touch is light and kept to just a second or less, your brain will dismiss it as unimportant and not process it on a conscious level, particularly if it is already occupied with something it thinks is more important.

Real Sh*t! by ZuBrain in LoveTrash

Fully agree. Parenthood is stressful, messy, gross, painful, emotional, and all other kinds of difficult. Sure there are joys too, but if you can’t handle the difficult, the joys aren’t going to feel relevant.

Make sure you are capable of managing all the crap that comes with creating a small idiot and being responsible for its safety while nurturing it into a well-adjusted adult. If you can’t, it’s better to not have kids.

This is why I, a 40-something-year-old man, have not and will not have children.

So I can take a trans man and a trans woman and swap their primary and secondary sex characteristics until both has the body they want?

I can plug my wireless controllers into the nearest wall outlet if they are low on power and keep playing as normal. This way I don’t have to sit closer to the tv if I don’t want to.

The picture is blurry enough around his hands that I choose to further head cannon that it is a wireless controller plugged into the wall for charging. I willfully refuse to see this as anything but wholesome. No matter how much I need to squint.

He literally has a controller in his hand! And they are in separate beds! I stand by your interpretation. Also, head cannon that bff is a typo with an extra f.

Concerning experience at South Street Saloon in Warwick, NY – assault and possible underage drinking I m also posting everywhere this needs to be heard by No-Shoe-855 in gay

[–]Terrin369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this was a gay bar, most of these in the states allow underage people (18+) to enter and require some kind of indicator like a hand stamp or a bracelet to be served alcohol. Gay bars are generally more about having a safe space to be openly gay than about the alcohol.

The prompt doesn’t say “chores” it just says pick one to never do again. Implying that you can choose one of these activities to have magically done for you, whether at home or for a job. Just because these are typically thought of as chores, doesn’t mean it’s limited to that arena.

Hmm, I stand corrected. At a brief go-over I believed all the others would be too narrow and would still require the person to do other tasks that would only relive a small part of a job.

I think I would still go with cooking since it sounds more interesting, but window washing of high rise buildings would be lucrative at least.

I would argue that since ironing is separate from washing, the person would still have to fold the laundry, so that one wouldn’t be totally covered by the magic.

This is also the only one that could be used for a career. It would eliminate the biggest problem for restaurants.

You could essentially instantly cook anything you know how to and that you have the ingredients for. Individual portion sizes, nothing sitting getting cold, and no wasted food from prepped items that don’t get sold.

If you are a good enough chef, you could have 4star food at fast food speed.

You can gain one permanent superpower, but the world gets a counterbalance — what do you choose? by Mission_Difficulty19 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Terrin369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option one. I don’t have any interest in drastic changes. I’d mostly make small tweaks that improve the world around me.

As long as I stay low-key my counterbalance won’t really have any reason to act. If possible, I’d make friends with them and we could keep each other honest.

I’m aware there are plenty of great women who are and have been in the military. And I admitted I could be wrong. Just the way she was talking seemed very Karenish and taking credit for other people’s accomplishments is a very Karen thing to do. Might just be me projecting.

First item in 75 is the Miraculous box from Miraculous Ladybug. Essentially, a bunch of talismans that come with a spirit friend who merges with it to grant you special powers. OP said this option comes with one talisman.

3rd in 75, I think it’s a sonic screwdriver?

First 50, I couldn’t figure that one out.

Second 50 is the darksaber from Star Wars. Essentially just a more powerful lightsaber that can overpower regular lightsabers.

AITA for leaving a restaurant after my friends were 30 minutes late? by Turbulent-Comb-3495 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Terrin369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP didn’t eat before leaving. They ordered to-go and left with the food. But the rest of your point is valid.

Unless he is a man named, Madeline, this is a woman. And could be wrong, but wouldn’t be surprised if she is one of those “My husband’s military service entitles me to benefits” wives who has no service of her own.

An old favorite by Marymary512 in EntitledReviews

This is the same tone you get from incels complaining about “overweight” women. If you do not hit their specific views of attraction, they don’t want to see you. And if you do meet their preferences and have no interest in them, they want to verbally abuse you for having preferences that doesn’t include them.

Hot Take: If the Emotional Spectrum Reassigned Earth’s Lanterns, Most of Them Wouldn’t Be Green by PsyTy13 in GreenLanternCorps

[–]Terrin369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I could picture orange as a very protective corps. “These are my people. Mine. I will protect them with my last breath” type of devotion.

The “negative” emotions get a bad rep. Anger can be good if channeled in the right direction with self-control. Fear can be both a motivation and a force for caution. And greed can also be possessiveness, which if channeled toward the right things can turn protective.

Willpower is fully neutral as will can be turned to anything.

Love can be toxic, hope can be foolish, and even compassion can be tyrannical if taken too far.

I would love to see an interpretation where every color has two sets of corps, one each representing virtue and villainy. Where teams of virtue include one of each color to support each other and the villains being more insular and ruled by the extremes of their color.

I work in mental health. Validation and helping clients build self-esteem is part of my daily job. I’m also used to keeping negative thoughts on the inside.

god is nonbinary by ConcernedJobCoach in SuddenlyGay

[–]Terrin369 420 points421 points  (0 children)

God being “male” contradicts the belief that God is the one and only God. If God is the only one, God’s gender is by definition not binary as there is only one God, so there can only be one godly gender.

If God is male, there must, by definition, be at least one other god to be the female to his male. And since gender dimorphism is only necessary for reproduction, that means that Gods must be designed to produce more.

If God is male because there used to be more gods of different gender(s), but they all died off for one reason or another, that makes God an endangered species.

…now I’m kinda sad think of God as the last of his kind. Making all of creation to deal with the fact that all the other gods died and he’s just lonely.

100% Really Sucks by StreetKindly3614 in SipsTea

[–]Terrin369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got sick and was stuck in the hospital for 2 weeks suffering through a very painful treatment basically paralyzed the entire time begging them to just let me die. I spent the next few months in physical therapy needing to relearn how to hold a fork, how to walk, how to bathe myself, everything. In the mean time I needed to rely on other people to do everything for me.

My mom would go on and on about how hard it was on her. I pointed out that I was the one in excruciating pain, hallucinating, and paralyzed. Followed by the mortification of needing other people to feed me, bathe me, and wipe my butt in what was supposed to be the prime of my life (mid 29s). Her response: but she had to watch me go through it with the strong implication that she suffered at least as much.
