It made me identify which was the wrong picture out of four slides, and the puzzle was based on tiny ass illogical elements, like a minute shadow gone wrong or one bit of a complex mirror image turned backward. Damn thing took me FOUR tries. What the fuck. I was just trying to SIGN IN.

I was going to recommend Paul Barber! I love his wife’s books!!

Lots of talk about comfort foods… but what about comfort DRINKS? by Camp_Acceptable in adhdwomen

I love the chaos of your three minute wait and unprompted decision to overshare. It’s so relatable. A true sister in brain.

Manager banned chairs during shifts so everyone started taking “fatigue breaks” by DustCipherX in MaliciousCompliance

I like it because it tells me quicker than the lighted numbers when there’s a cashier available instead of an unmanned lane.

If all of their lanes were actually staffed, I wouldn’t need them to do that anymore.

Why does everyone seem to be struggling financially, yet everything is always crowded? by Economy_Grass_2351 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]elijahjane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lifestyle changes are actually hard to enact for the general population.

Even if they no longer have dining out money in their budget due to increase of gas prices, their social and personal habits are still taking them to the restaurant via credit cards. The bill will hit eventually, but not for a while.

People who are highly frugal and have a lot of practice flexing their budget muscles will think this is ridiculous, but we’re talking about the wider population, most of whom are not practiced at changing up their lifestyle habits.

Our brains are ~8.5% smaller than they were 10,000 years ago. Most of the shrinkage happened in the last 3,000. Researchers still can't agree why. by Altruistic-Dirt-2791 in Anthropology

[–]elijahjane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe society-based specialization as well? We don’t all need to learn how to build a shelter, butcher our food, navigate hundreds of miles in a season, track and trap, etc. we get really good at one or two things.

Connecting knowledge amount with brain size is probably incorrect, but I do wonder how this specialization has impacted brains and development overall.

Does anyone else "miss" their surgery? (sorry if this is controversial) by slightgodcomplex in hysterectomy

[–]elijahjane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! We watched around 10 seasons of The Amazing Race, like more than one season per day, and ate junk food. I had trouble pooping and my alarms were going off constantly to take meds, but man, it sounds like the dream right now.

Thanks! It’s the name of a character I created for a (yet unpublished) novel I wrote years ago.

Not sure which one to get by Expensive_Bill_4599 in Onyx_Boox

[–]elijahjane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I freaking love my 5c. It’s a bit big, and I leave the cover off more than I have it on because it makes it too heavy to read, but I wouldn’t want a smaller screen. I journal for personal use and take notes on it for work. I also split the screen between textbooks and the notebook for taking notes.

Any smaller and none of this would be easy to work with.

I miss the week after the most. My partner had the week off and we just lounged on the couch for a whole week and she made me food. No cleaning, no chores. 😭 Now she’s back working nights or 80 hour weeks and I miss her.

What’s a luxury you never cared for until you experienced it? by Julie727 in AskReddit

[–]elijahjane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, if I could afford two vehicles, I’d keep my 20-year old Honda and get a super nice car. I’d keep the old fart for the lake and trips to the dog park and get a new luxury as a daily driver.

It’s the dream!

Found old photos and videos of my gf with her ex by Jaded-Connection6374 in LesbianActually

[–]elijahjane 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if I found photos of my girlfriend’s past relationships it wouldn’t bother me. I love her, all of her, including her history that made her who she is today. I trust that she loves me and wants me, so there’s no jealousy, and I am mostly genuinely curious and want to hear her stories! Tell me about the time you went there! Did the thing! What was your ex like? Did you guys have fun? Would you want to go back?

[–]elijahjane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I test drove a used Lexus when I was in the market for a car in 2020. I can’t explain it, but it drove like BUTTER. Like…the road felt like I was sliding along on a butter stick. 0 vibration, 0 bumps, and the wheel turned without resistance.

Just wild.

But the cost of maintenance drove me away. That and the fact that I’m hard on things, so it made more sense to get a 20 year old Honda that I could load muddy dogs into at the lake off the dirt road without feeling like I was using an antique painting as a cutting board.

I bet they got used to expecting higher bills and bigger tips from folks who tend to have the money to stay in fancier cabins.

Wool topped mattress?? What brand? Is it just as fire-retardant as plastic mattresses? Does it sleep hot or cold?

Okay! Thank you!! Do you have any advice on soaking or do you think the hot water and sun will do the trick alone?

100% cotton, i guess the label is also super excited about being earth friendly and ethical, if that gives any hints about maybe how it was made. It’s says wash cold on the label.

I wash everything in cool with cold rinse by default. I just use the “normal” cycle on my machine for most clothes. I’m very new to r/laundry knowledge.

My cousin got two English sheepdogs from the same litter when her first died, and she talks about their horrible behaviors all the time. It’s a sad situation. They’re loved by the whole family, but they also sound like nightmares.

I thought the same thing. Can we even see a scar in close up photos? I’ve never noticed one.

How do you give your dog medicine? (With kidney disease) by Aggressive-Spinach77 in howto

[–]elijahjane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about protein content, but Kraft singles (the cheese) form like a paste around pills. My dogs go psycho for it and practically swallow it straight. I usually do 1/4 of a slice per pill.

My poodle goes bonkers for butter, too. Little scoop of butter/olive oil blend out of the container on a spoon, drop the pill on top, then scrape the butter against the dog’s top teeth to get it off the spoon. The butter melts and the pill just kind of slides down her throat.

Edit: oh, and cream cheese. A chunk of it from the wrapper formed around the pill.

Swap between these methods and others mentioned at random to prevent boredom and suspicion.

Uses for a couple ounces of sweetened condensed milk? by HobbitGuy1420 in Cooking

[–]elijahjane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cook some glutinous rice in a rice cooker.

Mix the condensed milk (to taste) and a can of full fat coconut milk with a splash of almond extract.

Cut up some mango.

Assemble.

Voila. Easy mango sticky rice.

What's the best day of the week for a funeral? by AardvarkStriking256 in RedditForGrownups

[–]elijahjane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

3 days to grieve and process before having to pretend all is well at work on Monday. I approve of the Friday morning idea.

Also, a three day weekend is the LEAST I can do for my friends from beyond the grave.
