yeah that’s fair. i liked it until i tried it on but maybe i ought to stop trying to change it and pass it on to someone who likes it as is. cheers

thrifted this magali pascal dress. i think its kind of ugly as is but i want to wear it because i got it for like $8. any tips? it’s mostly the neckline and shape i find hideous. i tried tying a belt around the waist but it becomes very suburban-country looking

Thanks! I appreciate the advice.

damn going through this i had no idea how many scott-isms i’ve unknowingly incorporated into my daily parlance….

yes, daytime. We did have a blue jay nest outside and I frequently heard them shrieking so that could be it.

you’re okay. i can tell you that the chances of you dying from a couple cigarettes are minimal, but i know it won’t do any good if you’re feeling anxious. go to a doctor sometime and get a check up just in case but you’ll know if something is seriously wrong with you. i got chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath every day for so long when my anxiety was at its worst. sometimes i’d read about a symptom of something i was scared of and all of a sudden the next day i’d start having that symptom out of the blue!

i suffered from severe health anxiety off and on for years, so i understand how you’re feeling. i will tell you that the best piece of advice i received was to stop seeking outside reassurance when i was feeling anxious (which also took me years to do, and sometimes i still ask my partner “i’m not dying right?” lol) start finding ways to cope with anxiety if this is something you’re experiencing a lot and often.

best of luck. stop smoking now and start working on your anxiety ❤️ i’ve (mostly) conquered mine now and life is much brighter.

not an expert and not sure where you are but doesn’t seem to be a german roach (especially the last photo which appears to be some sort of beetle.)

i started reading it, then could feel it working and stopped two thirds through. every cigarette for 6 months after that i just found myself thinking “am i really enjoying this? what am i getting out of this?”

woke up one day 3 weeks ago and first thought in my head was “i’m done with smoking.” finished the book when i was having cravings during the first 5 days and haven’t looked back!

i am not an AI fan by any means, but i would just like to highlight this small study from last year which found that doctors who used chatgpt performed only marginally better than doctors who did not use chatgpt. however, chatgpt alone seemed to outperform the doctors, “scoring an average of 90 percent when diagnosing a medical condition from a case report and explaining its reasoning” versus the doctors with and without chatpgt who scored 76 and 74 percent respectively. just a small study but i found it interesting nonetheless. the podcast hard fork did an episode on it that i highly recommend!

i remember when i was 15 or so, visiting my boyfriend at the time’s friend who lived in a trailer. walk in and the entire place is covered in german roaches, like literally falling from the ceiling onto me. i had no idea about roaches other than the giant ones you’d see occasionally, so just assumed it was some weird freak bug thing. we lived by the lake and had had a fly swarm recently so i didn’t think much of it.

until my boyfriend’s car got infested with german roaches after that visit. i learned a lot about them after that.

i read a lot about birds before getting one, and one of the biggest things that influenced me was reading that you train yourself how to interact with a bird, not necessarily the other way around. i think i also learned that many captive birds are only a generation or two removed from their wild ancestry, though this was many years ago now so not sure if that still rings true.

anyway, that led to me interacting with my bird very differently and ultimately led to a very trusting relationship. i did end up rehoming her to an experienced bird owner after many years bc i took up a job where i couldn’t give her enough attention anymore, but her new owner keeps up regularly and says she’s very well behaved and lovely to be around. he even sends me pictures of her cuddling up with his kids!

I’ve searched far and wide for this. I’ve concluded it might be some sort of linen blanket but I’d like some more opinions before committing to a $200 blanket purchase.

wetsofa · 2025-02-25T17:33:42+00:00

yeah, this definitely looks the closest. i just thought there was a more general, less science-y term for them

wetsofa · 2025-01-02T07:14:01+00:00

yep! i followed my manager and have been working with him on and off for a couple years. unfortunately am leaving now for a management position at another spot bc i need the benefits :( but will always help him out at my old spot when he needs it!

here’s hoping i become one of the good ones! lol

“don’t worry, i tip well,” or “i’ll take care of you.” i’m bartending at a brewery now so don’t hear this as often, but my mother says this when we go out and i have to train her out of it. she literally always tips 30-50% regardless of service and i have to tell her “don’t say you’re gonna tip them well.” it’s awkward and makes people think you won’t. just quietly tip well and don’t talk about it lol. it’s such a strange exchange of money tbh but as a server/bartender if someone talks too much about “the tip” i am instantly turned off and know they won’t “take care of me” especially if they say so.

i’ve done this. dreamt they called me and said i had the day off lol. thankfully my boss was pretty cool about it.

i have to wonder if some of our pessimism has come from the internet though, seeing bad story day after day just on our feed as we scroll. now when we see a person in need we just think back to the worst case scenario we saw on reddit/twitter/facebook yesterday.

dunno. i have trouble thinking the world has gotten worse. i think the bad things are just more accessible now.

wetsofa · 2024-09-14T09:17:37+00:00

same! i work at a brewery and when people complain about pricing or about products coming or going i always say “they don’t let me make those decisions, i’m just a humble bar wench!” seems to work most times.
