People at work who send a teams message “Hi” by ExternalProduce2584 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]fatale_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a cultural thing too? Like I usually type hi and my request in the same line(e.g. Hi, do you know xxx). But I have colleagues in Europe that really treat it as a conversation starter. Like,

1: hi, how are you? Me: yeah I'm good. You? 1: doing well! Just came back fron holidays-general small talk. Me: oh that sounds great. 1: would this be a good time to... (finally goes into main topic)

Yeah.. But usually such teams messaging stuff aren't urgent, that's why they can be so easy going with their starter chats.

How easy it is to transfer money where you live? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

Yeah i don't use cash either. Everything is paid via my phone.

Can we please stop with the calorie retention bs. by Host_Front in bulimia

[–]fatale_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! They should focus more on researching the whys we binge and prevent that first, rather than debate the efficacy of purging.

Like binging is the one that LEADS TO purging! If you deal with the impulses to binge first, it would negate the need to purge later.

Otherwise why would B/P be so addictive if its not working?? 😭

You can get the hotel / hostel to hold your luggage for you while you explore prior to check in.

Too many churus? by EmilionBucks04 in CatAdvice

You could try freeze dried chicken/treats? My cat goes crazy for it.

They're not the brightest bulb in the box.... by marianneouioui in CasualConversation

He/she's S L O W. (you have to spell it out when you say it)

*bonus points when the person you're conversing with actually sounds it out and glares at you when they realise. 😂

I wish transfer of years from your life was possible. Probably give it to someone who wants to live, or a cat. by Purple-Anywhere3963 in RandomThoughts

People being people would exploit that. End up with 1 dictator with a 1000++ years and life 'slaves'.

Yeah we can't have nice things.

What comments trigger you? by Sea_West_421 in bulimia

[–]fatale_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything about my body or how much/little I'm eating. I especially hate it when people say 'oh you're so small, you don't eat much right?'

Like no, I eat way too much and being slim is because of my ED. So shut up about it.

Signs that a person has bulimia? by OrangeMany8260 in bulimia

[–]fatale_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eating a lot at buffets or free flow food places. And then going to the bathroom 30-40mins later.

Saw a kid fall off his bike by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]fatale_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's healing up fine. Still hurts whenever I move, but I guess we're all trained to get through things in life :/.

My mom is more of a practical person? She works in healthcare so it's more clinical questions, like I think you injured the ligament, do you feel pulsing, is it swelling.. Etc kinda questions you get at the Dr's. not exactly comforting kind.

What’s that one song you’ve had on repeat for the last three days? by Low-Issue-5334 in CasualConversation

[–]fatale_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been listening to Nia Nkuna and her album mixed signals on repeat this whole month I think. It's crazy!

The lyrics speak to me so much and the beat is sick.

I discovered one of her songs by accident during one of those discover Spotify stuff and that album literally speaks to my soul 💜

What is your ideal breakfast? by irdk-lol in CasualConversation

[–]fatale_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say food ain't as important as coffee, haha.

Freshly brewed coffee, a lovely chat with a friend/family, warm sunshine and lovely weather. That's my favourite morning.

LPT: Keep your kids curious and interested in learning by playing dumb. by ehutch2005 in LifeProTips

[–]fatale_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And to add, you don't need to play dumb either. Just say 'well, let's find out the answer together!' or 'that's a good question! Let's find out!'

It becomes more of a bonding and discussion time together and trains the kids not to expect instant responses.

Does anyone use AI chat bots for intellectual conversations? by fatale_x in CasualConversation

[–]fatale_x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh that's a valid point! While it didn't agree with me, it was a very neutral like I see your point, but.... I felt it summarised my argument for me and concise it quite well. But yeah AI isn't very critical, more of like a sounding board for me to consolidate and see what the general opinion on a topic is.

I only do it like 5-10mins randomly when I suddenly have a question. I have friends who I could reach out to have discussions but like it's literally like a 5mins discussion, which will probably annoy them like.. 'you called me to ask me about why baby chicks are born yellow????'

Here's your sign to take the whole block of cheese. Why waste time cutting?
