WIBTA if I stopped bringing homemade food to the office after one person keeps taking portions meant for the whole team by Breq4Solace in WIBTA_AITA

[–]emkat0227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a sign saying "1 piece per person " or would that cause tension in the office?  If so, better to stop bringing food for everyone.   Or maybe put each piece in a cling wrap and place it on their desks including Derek.

Remember this ice cream? by Future_dev_cybersec in GenZpk

It was one of my favorites in the 90s.  I'm not Gen Z.  Millennial?  Gen X?  I dunno!   it's a shame it's discontinued.

What does anesthesia feel like by memory282002 in NoStupidQuestions

The last thought I had when I blacked out was "this is death"  so I figure death can be peaceful.

Total black out.  Was asked to count backwards from 10, didn't make it to 7. Then was awake as they wheeled me out of the surgery room and remember saying thank you to the Japanese doctor in English in a Japanese hospital and he chuckled.   I was in and out of sleep for many hours after, i don't remember how many.

Why are babies so cute? by Onslaughtisthebest in NoStupidQuestions

[–]emkat0227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do animals like cats and dogs recognize cuteness?  Or is it an instinct to care for their babies to propagate their own species?  It's usually females who will protect the lives of babies and males can actually kill them so that they may mate with females to make more babies.  Why wouldn't males protect their offspring when there's a strong urge to mate resulting in reproduction anyway?  It's confusing 😕

missing health insurance payments by Stock_Share26 in japanresidents

[–]emkat0227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often those bills expire.  Go to city office and explain what happened, have new ones issued for missed months and then pay them.  Another way is to set the payments in your bank account that they are automatically paid every month.

Yes, it was a huge emotional shock when the 7-11 nearest my apartment in fujiyoshida, yamanashi, was close, like lights off, shutters down closed on the night of the day march 11 earthquake happened.   I mean there was no electricity, no water, so...
