My coworker does this too. Videos, messages, his fucking doorbell. I work from home now so it can’t bother me anymore, but idk how our boss can stand being in the same room as him.
He was playing a video during a teams meeting the other day and everyone could hear it. He didn’t stop when called out on it (boss wasn’t there that day), and the person leading the meeting literally said, “how does he keep getting unmuted?”
Hard disagree. Some languages are so wildly different that it would be really hard to confuse them like that. Like where the grammar structure is different so it’s not like you’re just substituting a word in one language for a word in another.
It seems much more popular in the states but seems to be getting some good traction in Canada now. I went on a little disc golf road trip in BC and there are actually some pretty good guerilla courses out there that people have clearly put a lot of work into.
Damn, number two in the world?? Best I’ve played is nineteenth!
I’m not trying to be argumentative, but that’s not really how proper piercing works. I think what you’re explaining is what a place like Claire’s would do, use a thicker earring in a piercing gun to push the surrounding flesh out of the way in order to make a hole.
A piercing studio uses a hollow needle inserted by hand, so it goes in gently and easily and the flesh in the hole is actually removed since it’s inside the needle now. Then the earring is inserted afterwards. It’s far less traumatizing to the body this way.
As someone who has a lot of piercings, I suggest sticking with 1.2mm and up, for stability. Cheese cutter effect is a real concern, and may or may not be able to be fixed by repiercing.
I’m actually looking for cute jewelry for my mom because she was complaining about how the posts on “regular” earrings were so thin, but she doesn’t know how to shop for legit piercing jewelry.
I would say it’s riskier to stay at less than 1mm as it’s so thin that it’s more likely to just rip out your ear if it gets caught on hair or clothing. There isn’t really a risk in switching between different thicknesses, just be careful when stretching to a bigger size so you don’t harm your piercing.
Why should someone be obligated to live as long as they can, at the expense of their quality of life?
I have a friend with a terminal illness who opted for MAID. I’m so thankful that option was available because he was in so much pain at the end. It makes a huge difference to be able to choose a dignified death, surrounded by people you love and who love you.
I have absolutely no idea. I’m the youngest person in the family and everyone thinks of me as the baby. So no one ever told me what the beef is with this one family in the tree, but I know no one talks to them.
Can confirm. I generally prefer the comfort of holding a real book but e-readers are a godsend for blackouts and vacations.
I am absolutely not telling my parents how late I stayed up last night. They’re not even in the country but I don’t need to feel them judging me from over there.
The wall is there to ride on. He just hit it with his body instead of his bike.
Batman and Robin. I KNOW it’s cheesy as hell but I was a kid and I loved it. I loved the aesthetic of Gotham but found the previous Batman villains too scary (Penguin, Two Face) but Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy weren’t scary at all. It was a romp!
In BTVS they can. There’s a vampire who’s cursed with having a soul and is therefore unwilling to hurt humans, so he just toddles down to the butcher and gets blood from them.
Soulless vampires either like the hunt or just prefer the taste of human blood. For instance, some vampires just raid blood banks instead of hunting humans.
A kid once asked to pet my dog and I said no. Kid then proceeded to tell me my dog looked evil. I was enraged. She is a dog, she can’t be evil, and she’s absolutely terrified of strangers but especially kids.
Usually when I have to deny people petting this dog, I’ll offer to let them pet the other dog who’s normal, but fuck that kid, you don’t get to pet any dog today.
I’m sorry to hear that. The changes my friend made are not med related, more on the side of diet and exercise, limiting stress responses, that sort of thing. Like I said, they’re not gone so I’m not saying it’s a cure, just that my friend feels she has a better handle on it.
Absolutely. There’s no better feeling than knowing someone will always be there for you and have your best interests in mind. Cuddles and stupid jokes aren’t bad either, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Even in past relationships that didn’t work out, I wouldn’t say the time/money/energy was wasted either. I don’t regret any of it, even if it was only to find out what didn’t work for me and what I didn’t want in the future.
I know you’re trying to come to terms with being alone, but I truly believe love is worth fighting for, if you decide you want that. I hope you find the peace you’re looking for.
Have you been to see a specialist about it? My friend did, and made some changes to her lifestyle which helped a bit but they’re not gone, just better managed.
If it’s really debilitating then I take a sick day. This is done through an app so I don’t need to justify it. The only time I tell my boss is if it hits in the middle of the day and I need to stop working, which usually doesn’t happen as I can usually tell when I wake up whether it’s that bad or not.
I’m fortunate enough to work from home so it’s nice that I can do whatever I need to get me through the day, like if I get nauseous I can puke freely and carry on without worrying about anyone hearing or walking through the office looking like garbage.
Mine are not that frequent though, at worst it’s like once a month. I have a friend who has it really bad, she’s been off work for ages because anything can set it off but she has no idea what, or how to get relief.
My sister definitely regretted letting me into her house whereupon I proceeded to eat almost her entire block of cheese.
Being lucky all the time would be cool. The only time I can think it might be a hindrance would be at a casino because they’d think I’m cheating but I don’t gamble so it doesn’t matter I guess.
