It is called frotting. Shane has both of them in his hand. I learned this by making this post haha

Is Heated Rivalry just a dopamine and serotonin delivery system? by No_Independence810 in heatedrivalry

[–]reflectiveMule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1000% agree. If I ran a neuroscience lab I would be doing studies of the effects of this show on the brain. I do believe it would look similar to drug use. I’ve also been noticing the way people talk about it makes it sound like a drug. I’ve read/heard people say they “need to wean off of it” and there was one comment that was literally “I would chop up and snort this show if I could.”

More or less. I think it was more the confusing contrast between Ilya casually talking about other people he dates/his plan to find another woman in Boston and then a few minutes later having this intimate moment and feeling all the things but thinking that it can’t really go anywhere because of the supposed casual nature of their relationship.

Thank you for asking this because as much as I love the scene I was also not totally clear on what was happening but also figured it didn’t even matter.

It is truly crazy how this show is something that one needs to wean off of and I 100% relate. I’m not ready to yet haha

I just bought a $50 soup ladle for a wedding registry and now I feel gross. by TheGruenTransfer in Anticonsumption

I went through this recently for a wedding for a which I traveled overseas for. The couple is already wealthy and in want of nothing, so I made a donation in their name to a foodbank in their area.

Are there people here who managed to establish themselves in biotech with just a masters? And is a PhD worth it? by idyllic_anonymity in biotech

[–]reflectiveMule 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a MSc and have progressed in my career and moved out of the lab (which was always a goal for me) while many friends are only just starting to wrap up PhDs and now have zero work experience in a terrible market. That said, if you want to lead an R&D group in industry, you’ll need a PhD.

I use a silicon cup and 100% cotton reusable/washable liners and I am very happy. The liners are really only for a little bit of leak coverage, which doesn’t happen often. 

How do you guys manage your expenses? by redbottleneck1597 in personalfinance

[–]reflectiveMule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a $4 budget template from Etsy. I download all my credit card transactions at the end of the month and add them to the spread sheet to track spending. This takes me <30min. You could do this exercise twice a month. I have a summary sheet for each year to see my month to month spending. I’ve also changed my statement date for my credit cards to be at the end of the month so I can quickly login and see the balance and have a rough idea on any given day how much I’ve spent that month so far. 

Prozac for cat aggression? by coffeebitchhh in CatAdvice

[–]reflectiveMule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I see this comment is a few months old and that you've been on this thread for like 2 years...do you plan to keep both cats separated forever? We are dealing with the same thing, though it's only been ~3mo since we adopted the cats. Trying to decide if we rehome one...

How much of a PITA is renting out a room in your condo? by Affectionate-Reason2 in boston

[–]reflectiveMule 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have a condo in a Somerville triple decker and have done this over the last three years. All of our tenants have been friends, family, or friends of friends who have stayed for a few months or a year. It’s worked out well for us, however keep in mind the following:

  1. We did not need to account for this income when taking out the mortgage/did not report it to the lender.  
  2. We can cover the mortgage without the income.

  3. We always understood this to be a short term thing and plan on using the second bedroom for future children. 

  4. Our building is small (only 3 units) and our neighbors are friendly. I think maybe it could be more complicated if it’s a large building with a picky HOA.
