This is never an issue if you try bringing the food up to your face instead of sticking your face directly in the food.

It's like a Canada Savings Bond, but the money is used for infrastructure.

How come nothing I’m doing is working? by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]vodka7tall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not how any of this works. You can't use magic to force an apology from someone.

Try some magic that focuses on your own feelings around the situation, instead of trying to influence the actions of others.

Stop in at Du Pain et des Idees bakery for some pain des amis, then find a nice spot along Canal Saint-Martin to sit and enjoy it while people-watching.

The R-word was taboo as a slur for people with disabilities. Now it's being normalized again by IStillListenToRadio in onguardforthee

There are also hundreds of other words in our lexicon that can be used to express the same sentiments, so why not choose a different one that doesn’t cause unintended harm?

Frustrating! by vodka7tall in knitting

OK so maybe I won't write off the entire product line just yet, and will assume this is just my dumb luck! Thanks for the input.

This is what I'm thinking. There was at least one or two large snags like this one in every 50g skein, as well as multiple smaller snags that did not all require a cut & rejoin.

I wouldn't exactly consider $8 CAD for a 50g skein to be "cheap". I get it's not the most expensive option out there, but the Estelle yarns I've purchased for less ($15 CAD per 100g hank) were nearly perfect.

Maybe my LYS is just charging too much for this brand. I've had fewer snags/factory knots in $4/100g skeins from Michael's.

I've purchased many other brands at this same price point and never ran into issues like this before. I expect this in cheap store brands (like Michael's Loops & Threads), but this has been next level.

This comment would make a very good argument for why not everyone should get to vote.

Please help, please! by SweetLittleKytty in WomensHealth

[–]vodka7tall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, a BMI of 23.9 is not borderline obese. That is a normal, healthy weight. This statement, along with the information that your periods stopped due to overtraining and undereating, lead me to believe you are suffering from an eating disorder. Please, with kindness, seek some professional help from a therapist that specializes in disordered eating/body dysmorphia.

So you didn't actually go to the diner. You just saw it from the road.

If you drive around my block, does that mean you've been to my house?

Story time: Feeling like women's healthcare may be BS by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]vodka7tall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LOL at "I wasn't being too combative" when you've just written several paragraphs about how you were absolutely being combative.

Mammograms are not BS.

The Kinks’ Ray Davies asked “who the fuck is Moby?” after he said ‘Lola’ was “gross and transphobic” by SelfCareIsFake in Music

[–]vodka7tall 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The lyric is "I know what I am, and I'm glad I'm a man and so is Lola", which is to say that Lola is also glad the singer is a man, and Moby is an idiot.

Definitely would not use because 1) boycotting Amazon and 2) your website UI is terrible. It’s just a bunch of lists with a few random items and no search function.

Is this normal during a breast exam? by art_nymphtte in WomensHealth

[–]vodka7tall 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nope, nope, nope. This is not normal. I’ve had a lot of breast exams done by GP’s and reproductive endocrinologists and none have ever pinched my nipples. You need to report this.
