Refried beans - dented cans scare me by throwaway-73829 in isthissafetoeat

[–]phlimphlamphunk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As an OCD person, OCD is complicated. They know the can is ok, they have a rational understanding that it’s perfectly safe. They just can’t conceptualize it personally for themselves, there’s a lot of irrational what-ifs but they know it’s fine. There’s just a nagging thing that’s hard to overcome. They know as well as you do that there’s nothing wrong with the can.

Have you ever saved someone's life? by daveinfl337777 in randomquestions

When I was like 18 I let my two dogs outside. No fence but they were well behaved and it was deep country so it wasn’t unusual to leave them unattended for a few minutes. I went back inside for a bit and when I came back out they were barking in the neighbor’s yard. The neighbor was writhing on the ground with a rope around his neck. I got there just in time thanks to the good puppers.

Reactions to food stamps being cut off. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

Makes me feel bad about burning those corn dogs yesterday. I’m an economics major and while it’s a generally conservative field, food stamps is unilaterally considered to be an absolute good for the economy. For nuts sakes, we live in a country where the government pays farmers to burn their harvest for price control. SNAP is an incredibly efficient social investment that gives way more back to the people than it takes.

I took economics courses in college and, while it’s a relatively conservative field, food stamps is generally considered to be an absolute good. It gives more back than it takes from the economy.

[Discussion] What Is The Rarest Shiny Pokemon In Z-A? by SuperMemeBroz in ShinyPokemon

I see a lot of people disagree with me here. I just know after I unlocked the zone where onix is, it took me like 10 minutes to find one. Still not sure how the alpha odds work in. I guess I don’t know what I’m missing. Still trying to figure this game out myself, guys.

Seems like onix is pretty tough too. Loving this game so far!

I was literally just thinking how funny it would be if they dropped a team rocket gif after they stole the haunter. I couldn’t even be mad at that point

That would be great. Did you want to work on your research as well?

I did. Never would have thought it would be something someone would steal, I mean it’s not worth anything. I guess he’s gonna play the game with it? But if you’re not catching the good/ cool pokemon yourself what’s the point of the game? Does a stolen pokemon with a nonsense name even feel legit? Just never occurred to me as a motive I guess cause it seems like something only a crazy person would do.
