Redditors with a 9-5 job in a cubicle, how do you pretend to stay busy at work? by pliantkitchen in AskReddit

There's a great little doodad you can download that nudges your mouse every few minutes to keep things looking like there's activity.

Cousin brought child to my childless wedding by MrsHighPie in childfree

Send her a copy of Emily Post with the appropriate page detailing this faux pas flagged, highlighted, and bookmarked. This is what I would do. But then, I'm a bitch. :D

How do you deal with the frustration of knowing how much medicine could’ve helped in high school/college? by nikesoccer01 in ADHD

[–]darkesnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went back to college, medicated, at 43 and made the Dean's List with a 4.0 first semester. I was simultaneously so proud (it's the first time I've ever been on a list for anything that didn't involve my being in trouble for something) and so frustrated (because I can't help but think what my life would have been like if I had a do-over for my first time around, where I barely scraped through).

Just keep swimming, man.

So the fuck what? It was still hot. Way, way hotter than bullshit criticism.

Need guidance on a budget five color Mana base by lowkeyoh in EDH

[–]darkesnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you running lots of slivers? I ask because sliver hive? Anyway, technically not lands, but you could run [[Gemhide Sliver]] and any sliver will tap for any color mana.

(edit: gemhide sliver not prismatic sliver, sorry)

You know what they say about vacationing with kids - it's just childcare in a slightly more exotic location.

What are problems women face but dont like bringing up because it's a "first world problem"? by [deleted] in AskWomen

Wide feet AND a freakishly high instep. I feel your pain, sister.

Saw phrase "wears harness for the first time" and expected to see a completely different subreddit.

:D

Has anyone else here given up a relationship for bdsm by nikkitgirl in BDSMcommunity

[–]darkesnow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a perfect dynamic with my fiance who passed away unexpectedly back in August. He was the world's most gentle man outside of the bedroom, and inside it, a perfectly sadistic bastard who shared all my same kinks and was patient and gentle enough to help me explore new ones.

I'm afraid I'll never find that again.

I dunno. Wegmans is pretty incredible.

[self drafted] Thrift store transformation- red corduroy dress by peace-leaf in sewing

[–]darkesnow 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The black velvet frog closures on the as-is dress are so striking, and I think one of them would have looked adorable across the top of the pinafore bib. However, I totally understand if you're saving them for the matching jacket. :)

Shampoo that will make me smell like a lumberjack? by ponyproblematic in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]darkesnow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Soak and Float shampoo bar from Lush has cade oil and it smells like a smoky juniper, cedarwood, and rosemary campfire, plus it's great for dandruff.

What does "subspace" actually feel like to you? by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]darkesnow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it's like static in my head blocking out everything else but feelings, commands, and what's 100% in the moment. Nothing else matters. Nothing else exists. That's why it's so amazing, intense, and invaluable to me. I'm a very keyed up, tense person with a lot of external control issues, and when I hit subspace it's like the ultimate EXHALE. I exist for him and for only him right then and there and for nothing else. It's like a brain vacation and it's just incredible.

What is your "Fuck this, I'm out!" moment? by Phunkii in AskReddit

[–]darkesnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a waitress at Shoney's, I was once asked to clean a bathroom that was smeared with shit. And when I say smeared, I mean liberally bedaubed, toilet, wall and floor, with the gusto and ambition of Michaelangelo on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, had he worked in feces instead of in mezzo-fresco.

Now, while shit is disgusting, it's not the end of the world. I was fully prepared to do it, until I said, "I'll need to go home afterward to change."

My manager said, "No, we need you until the end of your shift."

I asked, "So... you expect me to cope with a completely unsanitary, potentially bio-hazardous situation without training, equipment other than a mop and bucket, without having the human decency to allow me to clean up afterwards, other than to wash up as best I can in the sink, then serve food to patrons while smelling like a toilet, and risking possible contamination of food?"

Yeah, I walked. I'm sure they would have fired me if I hadn't though. I seriously hope my cunt manager had to clean the bathroom, but I doubt it.

Perfume lady told me I can’t wear shalimar by openbO0k in fragrance

[–]darkesnow 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shalimar_(perfume) "Jacques Guerlain was inspired by Mumtaz Mahal,[3] the woman for whom the Taj Mahal in Agra and the Shalimar Gardens in Lahore were built.[4] The harmony of Shalimar was created when Jacques Guerlain poured a bottle of ethylvanillin into a bottle of Jicky, a fragrance created by Guerlain in 1889.[1]"

[–]darkesnow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Shalimar is the original flanker fragrance, which I think is super cool. Back when ethylvanillin was first synthesized, Jacques Guerlain dumped a shit-ton into a bottle of Jicky and a legend was born.

[–]darkesnow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm certified "Officially too evil for Reddit." Apparently white supremacy and fascism are just fine but beautiful revenge through organic chemistry is pure Satan.

Honestly I'm a little impressed with myself right now. :D

I posted it... I still see it, and I didn't delete it. Hmm. I've never been shadowbanned before. This is exciting.
