Shocking with cold water when it’s still hot

Yo wtf

I am not looking forward to the day that medical implants and devices become subscription-based.

Missed too many monthly payments? Your pacemaker gets shut off until your account is no longer delinquent.

I was not going to subject him too either of those treatments.

This is it for me. Chemo sucks so bad that there’s are humans who decide to pass naturally instead of going through hell to get a bit of extra time–maybe. Putting a pet through chemo without their consent and not being able to explain to them why they feel so bad, that’s way worse than making the decision for them to be humanely euthanized.

I’m sorry about your doggy, and about your dad

Uncle John by Jonathan Colton

“Your uncle’s late again, last minute Christmas shopping at the airport, a dozen ringer tees he bought at Eddie Rickenbacker’s bar–ladies extra extra large” is such a mood

It had already previously happened to her son and uncle without national attention.

Not my choice for sure, but since I have to live in it, committing it to memory seemed worth it.

Good to know a few phone numbers even if you aren’t at a protest, though. Everyone should memorize the phone number of at least one partner/family member/friend who lives local to them in case of an emergency. Lawyer is a bonus.

If you cook, bake, brew, anything with food and drink.

Common volume conversions: 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, 4 tablespoons/2 fluid ounces in a quarter cup, 8 fluid ounces in a cup, 2 cups in a pint, 2 pints in a quart, 4 quarts in a gallon.

Common weight conversions: 28 grams in an ounce, 16 ounces in a pound, 2 pounds and 3(ish) ounces in a kilo.

And common volume to weight conversions based on ingredients you use. For me: 200 grams in a cup of sugar, 125 grams in a cup of AP flour, 6 grams in a tablespoon of cocoa powder.

Makes it a lot easier to halve/double recipes, or use a scale for a volume written recipe.

It’s not about the specific year though, it’s just that the average life expectancy includes infant and child mortality, which used to be a lot higher in most countries. This pulls down the average but there were still plenty of people who lived to 50-60. Our upper life expectancy is higher now, but not 50 years higher.

Feeling like my body is fat and gross and there’s nothing I can do about it. (Even though I know I can.)

Have your asked your dad? What does he say? Did you tell him that you think it would be harder for you and ask what his opinion is?

Not saying you have to, just curious if you did how it went. I’m in a similar boat.

Everyone should have to retake the driving test (both written and practical) every five years. And if you don’t pass on the first try or are in a crash where you are found at fault, it should be bumped up to every year for the following five years.

People drive dangerously because they’ve forgotten rules, or rules have changed, or they’ve had a physical or cognitive decline. And yet we’re like “yep, you took a test once decades ago, good to go.”

Dangerous driving kills so many people.

Idk this doesn’t feel like a scam. You paid for something, they sent it, they said “you want more? More money please.” Did you want more for free? I don’t get it.

It seems like this is endemic on freecycle type groups, such a bummer.

So you paid for nudes, they sent you one, then tried to get you to buy more?

Damn. And for $50K, brutal.

This is what I hate, so many scams prey on people who are desperate or otherwise already in hard times. Scamming someone who doesn’t have a roof over their head, or is elderly and lives off a small social security income, or needs a job to afford food… that shit is the lowest of lows.

I guess if you scam rich people you’re more likely to be caught.

That’s rough, just trying to help (because you were asked!) and you get accused of being a hater and killing her dreams.
