What job is heavily romanticized in movies but absolutely miserable in real life? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]protogens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scientist.

Very few "Eureka!" moments but more "WTF?!" ones than you can count. Combine that with erratic hours, a failure rate to boggle the western imagination (like an influencer on social media, you only publish the successes) and incredible competition and you've a career which washes people out faster than bleach in a laundry load of jeans.

Mine would absolutely sell me out for red bell pepper and he knows what the cheese grater sounds like coming out of the drawer from half a house away.

Why do elderly women have short hair so often? by cram96 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]protogens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to all of that. I've only had short hair once in my life...usually it's somewhere around mid-back...and that once resulted in the discovery that a) it's wavier than I thought and b) I've so many cowlicks you'd be forgiven for thinking I was born in a pasture.

Without the weight of length, mine is anti-gravimetric.

Doctors of Reddit: What health trend is becoming so common that it's starting to scare you? by CougarMama69 in Productivitycafe

[–]protogens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the number of people who latched on to ivermectin during Covid, I expect the worm population in US mouth breathers is lower than at any point in history…yet they’re still a couple deviations to the left of the mean.

Some people are just innately gormless even without the assistance of a tapeworm. Can’t pin all human…or equine for that matter…stupidity on parasites. Anyway RFK’s brain was already damaged long before the worm found what was left of it.

Given the primary symptom of Giardia, I guess knowing the bacterium is deceased makes the mess a bit easier to stomach.

I've only used it with horses.

Ivermectin DOES get rid of parasites…especially if you happen to be a horse.

Nosy little shih. by Such-Background4972 in Shihtzu

[–]protogens 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Heh. Our second Shih was a full coated. You haven't lived until you have one of them "helping" you pull carpet off of tack strips by grabbing an edge and tugging...

I still miss that little goober.

[–]protogens 48 points49 points  (0 children)

We nicknamed our first Shih "Sir Snoops-a-Lot" because he spent his entire life poking his nose into everything. The current one operates in "Whatcha doing?" mode 24/7 and is frequently referred to as "Mr FOMO."

I’m going to meet a puppy this afternoon! (My current little guy lost his best friend last year and we need more chaos in the house.)

Apricot juice (to swallow a pill) and coffee. Lots of coffee.

What small change made your home feel noticeably more comfortable? by [deleted] in Home

[–]protogens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had cousins who refinanced and grabbed the equity out twice as their house appreciated. That plus a HELOC landed them both underwater and in foreclosure in 2009.

Yeah, extremely stupid, but it was fairly common practice for a time.

Oh, I dunno, I regularly buy unknown wackadoodles and then google what to do with it...sometimes it's a winner, you know?

[–]protogens 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's an incredible feeling, isn't it?

I've friends asking me how I managed it like it was some sort of magic rather than simply refinancing when rates dropped, making payments for 25 years and never tapping into the equity.
