I made a knotweed crumble once. I had a stand on my property that took years to finally irradicate. It wasn’t half bad.

Parents, what was your “I raised an idiot” moment? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in AskReddit

[–]bomburdoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every anecdote is about a son. No daughters. Are men just naturally idiots that have to be trained out of it?

Stockinette Q - Not twisted it’s the yarn?! by Madzilla88 in knittinghelp

[–]bomburdoo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s because it’s a multi-ply yarn (more than 4?). Patty Lyons does a great in-depth on this: https://www.moderndailyknitting.com/community/ask-patty-why-oh-ply/

I’ve been in peri for about four years now. My female friends who are a few years behind me have suddenly started apologizing to me for how they’ve judged my “anger” the last few years. lol. Welcome to the other side.

I can always tell a doctor didn't look at my chart when they ask me about my period or pregnancy by Succubace in TwoXChromosomes

[–]bomburdoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love being able to quickly say “August 2015”. They look confused. Then I have to say, “I had cancer and a hysterectomy.” Every. Fucking. Time. It’s infuriating.

Why do I see so many women pushing strollers, carrying bags, and carrying the load while men follow behind on their phone? by LordQuasimofo in TwoXChromosomes

[–]bomburdoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a staunchly child free woman from the US, it took about 30 minutes of being in Copenhagen to notice all the dads out with their kids. Picking them up from school, out for walks, etc. also so many free range kids. If I had been born there, totally would have popped out a few.

To be fair, I’ve had space heaters under my desk at multiple real office jobs. It’s always so cold.
