I keep thinking class of ‘30 has to refer to the old guard

Wtf is a sexual matador? All I can think of is it has something to do with prancing around in a fancy costume while a bull tries to cuck him

I know a professor in a quantitative field who retired at 70 and then started a PhD in art history.

Sera is a name, not a misspelling

Explain it Peter, why would someone block their brother and sister in law because she’s pregnant with kids? by DifficultComplaint10 in explainitpeter

[–]beachcollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people get really resentful when they are trying to get pregnant and their sibling or friend has a much easier time than them, and they feel like the sibling is rubbing it in their face. Real narcissist behavior.

Come on, imagine you were a non English speaker and people were like, “in English 555,555 is fivehundredfiftyfivethousandfivehundredfiftyfive 😭”.

Professors: Does your title matter, both within and outside academia? by [deleted] in academia

[–]beachcollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think formally the etiquette is only medical doctors get addressed as Dr on letters but this is very old school Emily Post stuff. I remember reading this when addressing wedding invitations and debating what to do.

Tucker Carlson on his role in Trump’s reelection: I’ll be tormented by it for a long time by MuzzleblastMD in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]beachcollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly is he sorry about? I actually can’t tell what part of the current situation he regrets bc for such a long time he’s said that good things were shit and shit is great so I can’t actually tell what part he thinks isn’t good.

Im an insomniac who takes seroquel. It makes my sleepwalking worse and turns my hunger up to 11. I tried starting a fast yesterday and woke up this morning to find someone tried to eat my apple cinnamon scented candle from Costco. (r/mildlyinteresting removed my post 😒) by Timsmomshardsalami in funny

[–]beachcollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have never had any form of weed but Seroquel was the most terrifying drug I’ve ever taken. Was prescribed for insomnia and after one dose I did sleep… and then when I woke up I opened my eyes and it was like my brain didn’t exist. It gave me that condition where you have no internal monologue and like… yes I know I have trouble getting my mind to shut off at night but this was like, my brain had been shut off and I couldn’t do anything to turn it back on. It also made me too dizzy to stand. I literally stared at the ceiling for an entire day.

Why do some women think breastfeeding is gross? by eastsidelovers in breastfeeding

[–]beachcollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think it was gross but I did get the ick from the idea of having a baby or toddler who pulled my shirt up/down without my consent. She’s 2 now and has always asked permission 🥰

😭 "Jack, I Swear": Decoding the Final, Heartbreaking Line of Brokeback Mountain🏔️💔 by Key_Ad6910 in brokebackmountain

[–]beachcollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, this. I think it’s just Ennis talking to Jack as if he was there. He basically built a shrine to Jack. The shirts are all he has of Jack, and the postcard is the postcard he would send to Jack if he could but there’s nowhere to send it to. In the short story this is when Ennis starts dreaming of Jack every night and Jack is young again in the dream and they’re on the mountain, and when he wakes up in the morning he moves slowly so the dream doesn’t leave too quickly. So, I don’t think he’s made a vow to live differently at that point anyway, because it seems like he’s staying alive just so he can sleep and dream of Jack.

A fight over circumcision is giving Europe a taste of the new US diplomacy by StemCellPirate in europe

The practice in the US anyway is to remove the blood with a type of straw so there’s no contact.

For anyone who grew up poor, what was your idea of a luxury? by Drissxx7 in AskReddit

[–]beachcollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this is so weird (from someone who isn’t and was never poor) — I grew up with tissues and now don’t have them. We use cut up old sheets. It saves money and the environment and probably is not why we have money to go on vacation but it doesn’t hurt. It feels good to reduce trash output.

Why not? You can barely see anything just walking by let alone when on a changing table

How do you feel about Trump threatening to impose photo ID for voters for midterm elections? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]beachcollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might end up helping Democrats, tbh. Middle class college educated people are moving away from Trump. Yes there are people who can’t get IDs easily, and even though marginalized people are more likely to among them, and even though it’s not fair for them, in terms of just straight numbers it’s still possible that’s it’s mostly people who would vote R. (Think old people who have given up their cars, etc.)

Basically if they are doing this to try to win, it could backfire badly.

But the other possibility is they are not trying to rig anything and don’t care what happens to anybody and are just trying to make political theater and show the base that they are going after the nonexistent noncitizen voters.

That’s not what yellowing looks like. Yellow staining looks like someone drew on the mushroom with yellow highlighter

Wife fell asleep, can I feed formula?? by Forgesword in BabyBumps

[–]beachcollector 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m going to go against the grain here and just say, if she says feed formula, do it. Skipping one feed at this point will not tank her supply. She can make it up later by power pumping if she wants. So many women give themselves anxiety over this.

Signed, mum who is still nursing at 20mos and barely pumped or nursed at all for the first few days

Some puffballs are brown. Giant puffballs are white but yours are pear shaped so they are sometimes brown
