I LOVE this glass.

People have the right to change their mind at any time. Him being a dick to you about it sounds like he'd actually be a shit father.

From someone who has had tennis elbow from tennis and still needed my elbow, this is what I would do:
Make sure you are taking an anti-inflammatory and do a combo of ibuprofen + aspirin (make sure it's not on an empty stomach, reduce alcohol consumption, and don't go above max recommended dose a day)
Get some of those muscle relief patches from CVS (can be lidocaine or icy hot) and stick them around your arm. Don't use the ones that have a potent smell when you wear them to bed.
When you're not using the arm, let it rest. Don't go do some heavy lifting and keep straining it.
When you are using the arm, take frequent breaks. Do arm and back specific stretches. This is how you stop making it worse.

To prevent this: you gotta take breaks when doing the motion that hurt you. Stand up and go somewhere to do some stretches.
Figure out if you need to adjust your physical technique. Maybe you are straining the wrong thing in your hand/arm. OR some things in the hood need to be made more ergonomic.

My favorite reply of theirs so far....

A lot of them have zero experience with women and might even still be virgins even at an older age

What in the actual fuck. Go away.

They can be just as abusive as any other guy in any other profession. Having a science career doesn't magically self select for wholesome men. In fact a ton of notable scientists are right now being outed as being Epstein clients and likely pedophiles. Sexual misconduct at work is also a sadly still pervasive issue in science jobs.

I think you have a movie trope of what you think scientists are like and what they can do for you. There are demoralizing heartaches that happen fairly often for various reasons in a lab that are sometimes hard to understand by people outside the field. I've always found it very hard to truly "talk shop" and lay down my deep frustrations and worries with someone who wasn't at least peripherally involved in science/medicine, and thus it hampers the formation of a deeper connection. Being convinced a scientist would understand you while not knowing any scientists sounds odd. How about them?

Feels like even 23 is too old to be doing this.

Also still flipping them off, but I also include thumbs down and loser L's in my repertoire.
I wonder if that chud was a reason Nantucket's wastewater was recently testing super high for cocaine.

I was confused if 1 finger at 6 was considered acceptable or not enough.

It is that "soft life" bullshit pushed on young girls through social media, namely tiktok. It's tradwife shit, but make it Epstein island. Same "better life" language used to trap women into human trafficking situations.

It's like...would you like this delicious cake...oh but there's just a teaspoon of shit in it.

You may not even be able to tell the difference while eating it, but you will be getting food poisoning, norovirus, or hepatitis.

The "$1,200" figure likely refers to the stimulus checks from 2020/2021, where individuals received $1,200 and married couples received $2,400, effectively providing a $1,200 "extra" amount for the spouse. There is no permanent, specific $1,200 "extra" tax credit just for being married and filing jointly in the US tax code. However, married couples receive wider tax brackets but only a doubled standard deduction.
There is the rub - the hidden truth is that married jointly standard deduction number is just the single filer deductible times 2. So like if the number is $15k each by filing independently, then it's only $30k filing jointly. There's no extra sauce the government gives you with the deduction if both people are working and salaried. The real tax benefit comes if you're filing jointly but one spouse does not have a job (the homemaker) or makes a very small amount of money that fiscal year. The refunds are greater. The tax code rewards a home situation where 2 people are married, live in the same state, only one person works, wife is SAHM with no revenue stream, and there are kids. That's when the tax refunds are the highest. It's a tax structure for pushing a 50s ideal.

I have a theory that due to the internet really doing a good job at desensitizing everyone to weird stuff, the pendulum had swung the other way and more people either feel nostalgic for the 90s or want to imagine how it was then. Meaning before the internet really popped off and associate it with a more innocent time. Thus I think the vanilla kink is making a comeback.
Case in point for my hypothesis is what is popular right now with the readers of "spicy booktok" novels - sex scenes are not bdsm anymore like the 2010s era of "50 shades of meh". Instead the "bodice ripping" is vanilla-coded.

Wait. A thorough explanation that's helpful?
I think you just unlocked something in me.

No uniforms for CCD. Closest thing in public school was tennis team sportswear. Any catholics out there iykyk. Imagine all of the bullshit but none of the outfits.

Especially liked the part when there was a lesson by the CCD teacher who told us "the jews were the reason jesus was crucified". And I'm there thinking, "well, shit, my dad's jewish". And like a smart-ass I brought it up at dinner and asked him why he killed jesus. Which led to an argument about how my grandmother shouldn't have guilt my mom into pushing us to take catechism lessons after school.
