My phone is 5 years old and I’m not giving it up until it’s bricked at this point. Shit is just too expensive to upgrade anymore.

Yup, it sucks. You can’t trust it to work and you never know how much you need, or if it will work at all.

I feel your pain!

Oh yes, I’m well versed in lactase tablets. I always have these on hand, both Lactaid and Lactojoy (the hard stuff from Germany with 14,500 FCCs of lactase). The issue is that if you keep eating the food with lactose, you have to keep taking the lactase tablets, because you’re body doesn’t produce it (or very little) on its own.

I accidentally ate something with lactose (Chinese food, of all things) last month and had to take 8 Lactaid pills and 2 Lactojoys just to keep myself off the toilet for the rest of the day. There’s no way to tell how much lactose I consumed, how much lactase I need to counteract it, etc. It’s just not a game I’m willing to play, especially out in public. It’s like poisoning myself intentionally and then gambling with how much antidote to take before the pain sets in. Dairy just isn’t worth it.

I’m lactose intolerant to the point that a single sip of milk will wreck the rest of my day within 30 minutes of consumption, so if I ever eat out, I always ask if there’s dairy in EVERYTHING, even stuff you wouldn’t normally think has any dairy at all. Unless you prepare the food yourself, you just never know. My lactose intolerance isn’t life threatening, but I can’t imagine how difficult it is for people with allergies that can legit go into shock and die from them. Eating out must be a nightmare, or just something they’re forced to avoid totally.

This makes me sad.

So much winning!

But this will make the cost of eggs go down!/s

One day I noticed he hadn’t moved in like, a while. I opened the cage and went to pick him up, and he was hard as a rock. RIP Teddy.

My partner was on it for like a minute but I don’t think they use it anymore. Certainly not as much as I do.

My tinfoil hat theory that is all in jest is that Mars was “First Earth” and it got real fucked up and anything that was there got wiped out and what we see now is all that’s left of it.

Chalk and charcoal

We had an optional secret santa in 5th grade, meaning no kid was forced to participate if they didn’t want to. It ran the month of December, you were supposed to give 1 gift a week. The first week I got nothing. The second week I got a single marble. The 3rd week I got a single pencil. The 4th and final week I got a tin of Royal Dansk Danish butter cookies. As a 5th grader, it was the biggest fucking letdown, especially when all the other kids were getting candy, toys, etc, every week.

NO.

Omg no

For real. Or they remove the weapons and sell them separately, or the figurines from Lego sets. Special place in Hell for those people.

Some asshole Transformers action figure sellers on eBay who DISASSEMBLE THE FIGURES AND THEN SELL EACH PIECE SEPARATELY. Fuck those people, seriously.

I don’t , it’ll just make me cry harder and longer and that’s exhausting

I have some spices that are probably pushing 10+ years old that are fine tossed, they’re probably just less flavorful than fresh ones.
