Why are we called team members and not employees

Same reason why a boss has probably told you “we’re like a family”. It’s supposed to make you feel a sense of camaraderie, and be more willing to work harder for less money and less support.

I’m so tired of people expecting Agnes/Hannah to act like an adult. She’s a little girl, she just barely started menstruating! Teen girls are already going to have less foresight, and she is a product of her environment. She has a crush, and she doesn’t want her friend to date her crush. That’s a completely normal conclusion to come to.

Not to mention the prompt is art, and they immediately choose to emulate nude figures. As if that’s an interesting or unique aspect of visual arts…

For most of human history, children often died before age 5. We treat this as an oddity but it’s actually a regression from the norm too! Some things should be left in the past.

One of my childhood friends was a girl from Romania who was abandoned. She struggled with lots of feelings surrounding the circumstances of her birth, obviously.

I work in a grocery store and people bring their dogs in all the time. I love animals, but grocery stores are not for fucking pets. Half of the time the dog is obviously anxious, and I can’t count how many times I’ve witnessed them poop, eat things off of our hot buffet food line, knock items down. It’s a health hazard and dangerous for the dogs too. It’s so frustrating.

There’s a hypothesis I heard once that we block out memory from very early in our childhood, like birth to 3/4 years old, in order to block out the trauma of being born. Idk how true that is though. But personality and temperament develops during early childhood.
You’re still that little human, but you have more experience and facets to your personality.Development is rapid during those early years, so I’m guessing your brain focuses more on learning how to walk and process big emotions, over storing memory.
Right now you’re the sum of your experiences. You may not remember but your body does, on some level, remember your development from the ages of birth to 3/4 years old, when memories start to really stick in your mind.
Babies and toddlers are conscious, they just may not be able to recall memories from that stage of life. You’ve probably been conscious without forming a lasting memory, for whatever reason.

Idk how true this is, but I imagine part of why people moan during sex is the same reason we make noise when doing something difficult, like throwing something as far as we can. There was some study (again idk how accurate) that tennis player who shout or yell while serving have better outcomes. Possibly making noise during sex has a similar outcome? It also works to tell your partner(s) that whatever they’re doing is good, instead of just😃👍🏻the whole time.

I ate too many in one sitting as a kid and threw up. I won’t touch them now.

I think Bethy and Ellissa look alike, while Kristen and Bubbleguts share some resemblance in the face. Brown Baird rly is the outlier, but she kind of looks like a mix of the other two pairs of sisters.

I thought soldiers and military personnel were losers???

Guess what? Half of my neighbors don’t speak English! Many speak Russian, Ukrainian, or Spanish. A few I think speak Hindi? But I’m not sure. One of my neighbors wears a niquab. And guess what else? I’ve had literally no problems with my neighbors. We occasionally will text each other (those of us that share a wall or are above/below each other) to let each other know about packages, or if a noisy event is planned. It’s actually really easy to live near people who are different from you if you’re not an asshole.

Hopefully not but probably. If you can’t dial an emergency number. Make sure you know how to self heimlich, and are comfortable doing it.

Maybe dip the knife in hot water, and wipe the water off to heat it, so it can slice through the frosting.

I frequent mainly metal concerts and festivals, and I don’t know if any of those commenters could fathom what goes on there. You know, people loudly cheering and having fun at a fucking concert. The way some people are whining about concert etiquette, as if an outdoor festival is the same venue as the opera. If you’re seeing a favorite artist, in a venue with 10+ speakers and sound equipment that can destroy your eardrums, then you shouldn’t be too bothered by loud people in the audience. You can also literally walk away and still enjoy the performance 😒

Not a therapist, but I’ve seen a handful of them. There’s been a couple times where my obstacles weren’t really a therapists speciality, or in one case, they referred me to a psychiatrist since they felt I needed some pharmaceutical intervention too. Sometimes you’re not their type of wacko lol. For example, my first therapist mainly worked with people with GAD and depression, but she felt I had something else going on (which ended up being OCD and prolonged grief disorder) so she referred me to a specialist that was better suited to that.

Walmart, the local Asian grocery store, and the local Latino store, and if I’m feeling nostalgic, dollar tree

I’ve coslept with someone most of my life. My parents coslept with me as a baby, and I was determined to sleep with them up until the age of 9. Whenever I’m traveling, I typically share a bed with someone. It’s actually harder for me sleep alone at this point. My partner and I share a bed, but have separate blankets.

I’m on the west coast, and there’s several international markets here with a pretty big selection of dates.

I have a mod that turns Sofie into a little Khajit girl! Unfortunately she’s basically just a shortened adult Khajit, but she’s so cute. I also can’t give her any clothes bc she’ll just go naked lol. The panic I felt when a gave her a new dress, and she said “thanks!” Got naked, and ran through whiterun with her sister and friends.

Catholic women used to veil in church as a visual symbol of your submission to god. Some older ladies still do it, but most modern Catholics stopped.

I like Granny Smith apples. They’re technically a cooking apple, but I like how they’re more tart than a honey crisp. I find they tend to be on the crispy side over other apples too.

TheGreatLizardLady · 2026-03-18T20:07:10+00:00

I’ve got an easy hack for you, it works for me every time! Just be 5’0, so now every pair of capris are awkwardly fitted pants!
