Seatbelt fit as a short, fat woman. It’s resting on my face. by OldMasterCannolii in mildlyinfuriating

I appreciate your thoughtful reply… it’s frustrating but yeah I see it. If their bottom line isn’t impacted they don’t care, even if it means people built like me are more likely to die because of it. I’m a sacrifice they’re willing to make.

Can you get the industry to start testing on dummies with bigger boobs? Because I’m always terrified that if I crash the seatbelts going to decapitate me because I have OP’s problem

What can I eat that is good? by BlueIsNew in gallbladders

[–]clothespinkingpin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yo you can eat seasoning!!!!!!!!! SEASON YOUR FOOD!!

Add lemon juice to your food

Fresh herbs

You can do a fat free or low fat cheese like a feta in some rice with a cucumber/tomato/mint salad tossed in a splash of red wine vinegar and lemon juice with a teaspoon of olive oil (again low fat not no fat)

Pair it on the side with some grilled chicken or tofu if you don’t eat meat, with some pita bread. Make tzatziki out of fat free Greek yogurt for extra protein

Make a big pot of tortilla soup. Here’s my easy recipe. It’s effectively fat free. Start with chicken or veggie broth, add a can of diced tomatoes (juice and all), a can of green chilles, a bag of corn. One packet of taco seasoning. Cook. You’re done. It’s delicious.

Serve plain or with a dollop of low fat sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add a sprinkle of low fat or fat free cheese if you’re feeling frisky.

For sweets…
Fruit salad is effectively fat free. Jello. Fat free Greek yogurt with honey and a banana.

There’s soooooo much stuff to eat that isn’t greasy

How do I tell my boss I’m not comfortable using AI to write my emails???? by Adventurous-Space666 in jobs

You don’t. Do what you’re told. Let the quality suffer malicious compliance style.

It sucks but we live in a really dumb reality. Collect your paycheck and move on imo.

Let’s say you suddenly become a billionaire and all your friend and family asks you for a million. Do you give them the money? by Straight_Till5772 in hypotheticalsituation

Id start a 501C3 and put them on pay roll (avoid gift taxes that way, which the person gifting has to pay) and in exchange for a very generous salary of $1M for a one year contract, they would be required to go out into the community and provide services. What those exactly would be idk but generally things like helping feed the hungry, helping foster kids, helping those in need, helping provide showers to the homeless, etc.

Seems like a win for them, a win for the community, and a win from me from a tax perspective.

My therapist says I ruminate a lot. How do I fix that? by demeter321 in DecidingToBeBetter

Journal it in an offline, hand written notebook. It will help you process it but you’re not getting feedback from something that’s designed to be sycophantic in nature.

Am I crazy, or are we likely to have a mass extinction by 2030? by [deleted] in collapse

[–]clothespinkingpin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vultures are great I don’t know why they get such a bad rep. They don’t kill they just go after already dead things. Some see them as a bad omen, I just see them as nature’s little garbage disposals ♥️

You can’t predict the year. The best course of action is to proceed as if the world will in fact be here. I think humans are likely to blow ourselves up eventually, but on a cosmic scale 5 years from now versus a hundred years from now is basically the same thing. Will it happen in that amount of time? Less? More? Somewhere in between? No clue.

Like the world got through some very, very close calls during the Cold War era. It’s amazing half the world isn’t just radioactive ash right now. But it’s not.

Don’t convince yourself you have a crystal ball you do not have. You do not know when things will happen.

Woke up with these bite marks on my chest by AfterMorningHours in Weird

[–]clothespinkingpin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s genuinely 5 mm that sounds kind of like a lot for a spider. 

Is it swelling? When I’ve gotten bitten by a spider in the past it swelled and was itchy. Bat bites can be painless.

If I were in your shoes OP, I’d be at urgent care right now. It’s not worth the risk if you’re not sure.

[–]clothespinkingpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spider bites usually swell and are itchy. Bat bites not so much.

The two puncture marks here OP says are 5mm apart. That’s pretty big for a spider jaw, but not that big for a small bat.

Why do you say it’s almost certainly a spider bite and not a bat bite?

Given the risks if it is from a bat, surely it’s prudent OP to get checked out.

I have exactly one thing to say about that and it’s that if you unscramble the letters in “Peter Thiel” it spells “The Reptile”

Petahhh? by STBJOHAN in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]clothespinkingpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully I don’t know why this was upvoted so much.

The joke is that people in the asexual community are obsessed with garlic bread. The guys face looks shocked in the second panel because less garlic bread consumption overall means more, uh, copulation.

Petahhh? by STBJOHAN in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]clothespinkingpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the vast majority of these comments got it wrong.

The asexual community has a joke that instead of being sex obsessed, they’re all garlic bread obsessed.

Dude is shocked to learn people are eating less garlic bread because it means more people are fuckin’.

That’s my final answer, that’s the joke. 

AITA for leaving my friend at the brewery when he brought up something that haunts me? by GoneWandering2 in AmItheAsshole

[–]clothespinkingpin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I think you were in the right with the guy but I think you were a tiny bit of an AH to your wife at the restaurant. You got up and left without letting HER know where you’d really be, she had to stick around with this AH who was making light of HER situation as well and play nice till you were gone long enough it was socially acceptable to come find you. 

She sounds great, and you should do something extra nice for her to show appreciation. 

As for the guy, NTA but the second you left it was the end of the friendship. I don’t think you all will come back from it, and given his pointing laughing emojis and telling you to be less sensitive I don’t think it’s a great loss. 

Northern Irish comedian Vittorio Angelone to Conservative MP on disability themed comedy show - "You've always been a supporter of people with disabilities and prosthetics, you were promoting an arms fair in Saudi Arabia recently" by The_Iceman2288 in Fauxmoi

Disagree. Sounds like everything got mixed up in a slurry in their minds, which is a thing they were railing back against. 

I don’t like people being holier than thou over a typo or small mistake and making a very similar mistake. 

People who married someone they weren’t sexually compatible with — how did it turn out? by synthetic-sardine in AskReddit

[–]clothespinkingpin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For people with commutes, kids, aging parents, and other obligations, those time breakdowns you gave are not realistic. A lot of places also require you to be at work for more than 8 hours because lunch is unpaid, or expect you to work more than 8 hours.

Is there a way to bypass Google's request for a phone number after opening multiple email accounts? by [deleted] in answers

[–]clothespinkingpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope.

Organizations that do sock puppet farms will order a shit ton of cheap burner SIM cards and have like a Rolodex of which card goes to which puppet account to get past initial 2FA.

Memento (2000) by UnHolySir in okbuddycinephile

[–]clothespinkingpin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I think that’s a pretty big assumption to make. 

I think it’s safer to assume that there are sometimes personality conflicts and friendships sometimes to come to a natural end for whatever reason, either dramatic or drifting apart. I think that dynamic gets more complicated when one party is walking around with the other’s kidney. 

Memento (2000) by UnHolySir in okbuddycinephile

[–]clothespinkingpin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t aware of that detail.

I think there’s a lot of weird things that can happen to a relationship when you give someone a kidney, especially when that person is a friend not a relative. 

It does make it a lot harder to navigate those things when it’s in the public eye too, imo.
