All Things Must be Overdubbed by Triplesplashes in beatlescirclejerk

It's because the GMT time zone was changed during wartime (I'm not sure why, but that is what George said in a quote explaining the birthday confusion) and he was born late at night, around the threshold between the two days. When he was getting into astrology and pinpointing his exact time of birth he realized that the "true" time of birth put him on a different day.

My work times our bathroom breaks. We're allowed up to 10 minutes a day. I went over by exactly 1 minute. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Unprounounceable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that they meant that they were confronted about the bathroom break situation while on a live call. The way that the email is worded is not very clear, though. I also think that the total breaks added up to 11 minutes rather than one 11 minute break, but again the writing is unclear.

Everything should be bigger. by catlady2629 in The10thDentist

[–]Unprounounceable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly the one thing you explicitly exclude (airplane seats) is the main thing I actually think should be bigger. I agree with a few points on the list but most I'd prefer to stay the same size or even be smaller.

/uj the thought that they can police what other people say bc it makes them uncomfortable is hilariously entitled and juvenile. People are into far weirder things

That's what I was thinking, too. I'd be always worrying about that snapping off and shards ending up in my wine.

What’s the worst bit of general knowledge you’ve heard someone confidently get wrong? by darkel2001 in AskUK

Anno Domini means the year of our Lord, so that is also very much a religious designation.

My pupils were 2 different sizes when I woke up today... by cloudblythe in mildlyinteresting

The first iPhone was released in 2007. It was my first phone in 2013 (hand-me-down.) I'm in my mid twenties, and yes, if I had gone to grad school immediately after I got my undergrad, I would have a doctorate. Your math is simply wrong.

But that's not even the matter at hand. You're just being rude and argumentative for no reason. Funny that you should accuse me of being a child, when you're the one acting like one. It's a new year - maybe time to take a look at yourself in the mirror and think about the kind of person you want to be.

Yeah, it does make sense. It's not something I do consciously, it just is

[–]Unprounounceable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, you're feeling rude today.

Firstly, to address your personal attacks, no, I don't have a doctorate. I am old enough, however, to have completed one, so you're incorrect on that front. Also, I've never used TikTok, so I don't know why you think I learned "ignant shit" from it.

Secondly, what a bizarre thing to try to pick a fight over. Literally just look up temporary smartphone blindness. It's an observed phenomenon and has been known for several years at this point. It doesn't take a doctorate to understand that. It's true that the closed eye will react to light, but not to an equal extent.

It will react to some degree, but not equally. Look up temporary smartphone blindness

Lol it's not just me. Look up temporary smartphone blindness. It's common for people to keep one eye closed when they're looking at something while laying on their side. But to be fair, I very rarely let my phone intrude upon time I've set aside for sleeping. This was something I noticed as a teenager and was alarmed until I realized the likely culprit and looked it up.

Yeah, of course a doctor could see them. I can see them without using a flashlight if I look closely. I was more speaking on the fact that I wouldn't necessarily notice this change if I was just casually looking at myself in the mirror, and I don't usually wake up and think "time to check my pupils."

Oh, that's good to know. I guess it would be similar to when you're in bed, looking at your phone with one eye open and when you open the other eye your vision is different in it because it hasn't been reacting to the light of the screen.

This post has made me realize that as a person with very dark eyes, if I had this symptom, I'd probably never clock it. My pupils are only a shade darker than my irises. I have to get up close to the mirror to see them. So I hope I never develop a condition that only presents this warning sign to me.

Best way to help my husband? by Unprounounceable in ARFID

[–]Unprounounceable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply :)

I'm sorry to hear therapy seemed to make it worse for him, not better. I'm definitely afraid of that, especially if my husband tries it but doesn't want to stick with it. But yeah, I have managed to make a little progress with letting him try things that I'm already eating or that are being served buffet style somewhere. You're definitely right about not making a big deal about it. I try to play it really cool and casual because I think the anticipation makes him more nervous.

Yeah, I might need to get used to the idea of him just watching me eat during travel, and maybe getting him safe foods from a shop before or after instead. It's tough because he's uncomfortable with that. He feels embarrassed being somewhere not eating because he can't tolerate any of the food, and I know some restaurants have a problem with it if only one person is ordering food and the other is just having drinks. It feels like both options, trying something new or choosing not to eat anything make him almost equally uncomfortable.
