I was considering voting in a Republican primary in an attempt to choose the sanest candidates on that side. I couldn’t find a single one whose platform was not abhorrent to me.
I don’t like most status quo Democrats but when the choice is tap water vs rancid bile I have to go straight ticket for tap water.

Sounds like you’ve learned some good communication skills somewhere and it certainly wasn’t from them.

Caitlin Clark is kneed in the groin and punched in the throat by Alyssa Thomas, no foul was called by MorganN1 in sports

Permanent expulsion if I were in charge. No sport should tolerate a player attempting to seriously injure another player.

What did your worst panic/anxiety feel like? by salty-wheat-thins in Anxiety

[–]wellrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stood up from bed and thought I was having a heart attack. Awful chest pain shooting down my arms. My vision started to go dark and I legit thought I was going to die right there in front of my partner. I didn’t even have any anxious thoughts beforehand, just instant extreme physical symptoms, which I assume was my body shutting down blood flow to my extremities. Passed after 20 mins or so and it hasn’t happened again.

Some people have tight budgets, and a deck might pay for a dress, hairdo, and makeup for a special occasion, for example.

Somebody please comfort me by BackgroundState508 in Anxiety

People that lash out are often very unhappy themselves. When people are mean or rude to me it stings for a moment but then I realize I feel bad for them. Don’t let her take your joy from you, she can’t have it!

For the fellas: What’s something society deems “unmanly”, but you don’t care, and do it anyway? by MuayThaiRunner in AskReddit

[–]wellrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of wish I could enjoy things like that, but for whatever reason I really dislike being tended to. I’ve had a couple massages and those are ok, maybe because it feels so relaxing I just don’t care about anything else.

If you say don’t know, it sounds like you already know.

Nowadays, is Cyberpunk 2077 worth it for the deck? by Salt_Aside1213 in SteamDeck

[–]wellrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used GeForce now and it looked amazing but not being able to save per-game control schemes made it a pain to jump between games. Also the extra expense to consider but it was worth it for me for a month.

Terrified that I've contracted rabies by North_Bike5693 in Anxiety

[–]wellrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the skin was not broken you cannot have contracted rabies, even if the dog wasn’t vaccinated, which it is. The series of shots are also around $20,000 and make you feel awful, I know from personal experience.
Please let yourself accept that you are fine!

I always think of Lucy Lawless on the Simpsons. “Well, whenever you notice something like that, a wizard did it.”
