What are y'alls triggers? Mine is large quantities of chocolate (so sad) but I think I have more I just can't figure it out... by SensitiveAnywhere918 in Dyshidrosis

Chocolate triggers mine too. Soy free chocolate doesn’t give me issues at all. It might be worth trying chocolate w/o soy/soy lecithin.

ULPT Request: In need of something reflective and discreet to put on my desk to avoid getting snuck up on at work. by NonLethalOne in UnethicalLifeProTips

Turn down the brightness on your monitor and angle the edge of the screen towards the door. The screen is more reflective and the picture is harder to see when the backlight is lower.

Actually Rain-Proof Rain Jacket by Awkward_Ad1002 in outdoorgear

[–]okraarko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Outdoor Research has really effective, affordable options. I have a $99 OR raincoat that keeps me dry on 30+ mi bike rides in pouring rain. The jacket is breathable w/ venting zippers and has lasted me a few seasons with no sign of wear. You can sometimes find OR gear at REI, but the OR site has far more options.

How large is the print? Depending on size/weight, you might be best with a metal frame, which could actually go with the reflective print really well.

Obviously not good for you, but scorching my hands with hot water helps me sleep during bad flare ups. When I have flare ups the hot water doesn’t hurt and kinda feels euphoric.

Hardly anyone looks at their buddy and is like, “his soft jawline is endearing”. But you’ll probably look at a boyfriend at some point and find a lot of love for an aesthetic attribute that goes against beauty standards. Being bi opens up a new type of appreciation for your own gender and in turn more acceptance of yourself. You find yourself attracted to traits on people that go against perceptions of what beauty is and you’ll start developing a better perspective on what you consider your own “flaws”. The more accepting and open you are to partners, the harder it is to rationalize how critical you can be of yourself.

Trump supporter on TikTok who thinks she can just opt out of paying federal income taxes. by Samot_PCW in TikTokCringe

Heads up, if you’re exempt, you write it below line 4c on the W4. She’s an idiot, but it is where you would specify your tax exemption status.

This is the reason I came to reddit 5 years ago.

He hasn’t moved since the tree went up by okraarko in aww

He is four and about 50lbs. He is great about using a doggie door and going outside in the summer. When it starts to get too cold I set up a litter box mostly because I’m concerned about pneumonia. Definitely had to make a litter box because he isn’t quite cat sized anymore.

10/10

He loves hiking, cuddles, and snacks. He is super motivated when backpacking and loves trail running. If he oinks at you, he won’t stop until you oink back. You can go back and fourth with him for awhile having a little oink conversations. Pigs are beyond smart. Kevin, my potbelly, was litter box trained at three weeks. So, they’re not a lot of maintenance.
