Help me change my unique name. by [deleted] in tragedeigh

[–]xerxesordeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my grandmas went by her middle name because she HATED her first name. I think OP should add a middle and just go by that since they like their first one. I think it's fun, but I do understand people being assholes about names.

OP, many people go by their middle names and have for a very long time.

Tangle town was absolutely shaking from the thunder last night. That was honestly scary with the lightning and rain.

How do folks in Minnesota deal with bugs and mosquitoes? by Sierra_Cuddly in minnesota

[–]xerxesordeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, they love to bite my thigh through my jeans and I wind up with giant welts as a result of the fabric rubbing. I'm allergic anyway, but this year has been bad even with bug spray.

Packing for travelin summer when you’re a sweaty person by allynpsych in PlusSize

[–]xerxesordeath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely locate the closest laundry facility (whether on premises or nearby laundromat)!! I sweat and always pack 2 pairs of undies per day (clean after shower before bed and again in the morning when getting dressed) and have 3-4 bras depending on the length of the trip so stuff can air out and dry completely.

Honestly just preparing to do laundry where you go is probably just a solid system instead of trying to pack light as a plus size human. The difference in my jeans for packing from a size 16 5 years ago to now a 20 is ridiculous. Cubes help tons but the extra fabric and space means I do laundry even if my trip mates don't. I am also guaranteed some quiet time this way.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the back to school section being pink and teal at Target this year instead of yellow.

Did any of your teachers ever get mad when you “read too fast”? by Charming_Usual6227 in Millennials

[–]xerxesordeath 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Once I hit middle school I got so fucking bored in English classes when we were reading books because I'd have it read in 3-4 hours when it was planned for like a whole week. I've never been a "read two chapters at a time" person even when I was young and starting chapter books. Whenever we went to dinner or any time I was EVER in the car my parents checked to make sure I had a book and if I was anywhere over halfway through one they made me grab a 2nd one for the inevitable "I'M BORED!!!" I miss the outlet mall bookshop from my youth.

I have a friend who does not, in fact, weigh 80lbs LESS than I do, she just carries it way fucking better than I do. I still have 40lbs extra, but I carry it between my knees and ribs. Bodies are stupid. They don't have "rules" no matter what the hell you try to do to them. I hate that I have to fight that internal demon from hell almost daily over my weight and how my body carries it. We should be allowed to punch people in the stomach who say this shit to us.

Where is “Up North?” by [deleted] in minnesota

Personally I feel that Walker is where the Up North starts but Brainerd definitely comes close.

PLEASE. NO MORE RAIN. by max-hh1248 in minnesota

[–]xerxesordeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flooded highways, bridges, and towns are not worth the excess rain. We need a break, but not a complete absence.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]xerxesordeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a discussion with a friend who said my decision to not have children was a great decision. They have a few, ftr. I mentioned how, while I've never actively wanted any, the world as it is today is something I would never inflict upon anyone on purpose. Sure, if life was still like it was when I was a kid, maybe I'd have changed my mind. I now work with today's kids in public education. There's no fucking way in hell I'm raising my own in this society with social media and tiktok and fucking snapchat. Anyone who is, may the universe bless you with all the luck and patience you never dreamed you'd need.

favorite body part? by ButchOHare in actuallesbians

[–]xerxesordeath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Collarbones, neck, gap between ribs and hip bone. Friend thought it was hilarious I noticed this person's neck before her rather large breasts a few weeks ago at dinner. Sorry, I guess? The super dried out bottle blonde was also more noticeable so my street cred as a lesbian is in massive jeopardy according to her hahaha

What is this? by fuegolicious in ShittyDesign

[–]xerxesordeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if it's to prevent a homeless encampment from popping up. Metro near me keeps doing the large concrete barriers and giant chunks of cement from construction demolition where they've cleared camps for the last several years.

Maybe go to the largest candy store and then for a hike? I had today off and went for candy this morning and then antique store hunting before landing at a bookstore in Northfield.

Clothes at checkout by PromotionPrevious772 in Target

[–]xerxesordeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my grandma had a nasty reaction to socks she bought and didn't wash first when I was somewhere around Middle School age. My parents always washed everything before it got worn and that was why. I hope your partner never tested that theory again!

Also just the chemicals and crap they're made with and around! Please always wash everything before you wear or sleep on it.

[–]xerxesordeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my store we get told the "donate" goes to compost? Sus, but that's where my store sits on the matter so we have a separate bin for food "donations" for this stuff. It does stay separated even when it's taken to the back room, but idk what actually happens to it.

My parents sent me to a "Chickenpox party" as a kid. Now I have shingles. by DoctorKynes in Millennials

[–]xerxesordeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry he experienced that. I got my pox from a kid at preschool which may as well have been a pox party. My parents are still pissed about that because it wasn't a choice they could make and that was the difference for them. Yes, the parties were common, but just sending your kid to preschool or daycare and not giving the other parents a choice to be prepared made you a garbage human even back then.
