What part of the world are you in where fire alarms are not a thing?

I always thought it seemed kind of dumb to own a manual nowadays considering how prevalent automatics are and how simple they are to drive. I had never ridden a manual but it seemed like too much work.

Well I got a motorcycle earlier this year (most are manual), and now I definitely understand the appeal of a manual vehicle. I actually get annoyed at my automatic car due to the lack of throttle response compared to my bike. It’s a lot more fun on the bike. And I have a slow as fuck bike.

But I still don’t know if I would replace my car with a manual car because it can also be nice to just chill while driving.

Well yeah that’s how sprawling suburbs came to be. Most people work in cities but then they are often too expensive to live in.

Sometimes I get curious about trying one of these. My downstairs doesn’t seem to function, so to speak, despite the anatomy being all there. But I’ve always wondered if any specific device designed for that might make me feel something. But I don’t love the idea of spending a bunch of money and being put on some sex toy mailing list in order to most likely be disappointed.

Holy fucking hell!! That looks terrifying! Glad you went to the doc! What do you think the infection was from??? Did you cut your foot somewhere?

I just went to the doc for some weird clusters of blisters scattered across my right leg/foot, some of which had been painful. The urgent care said they looked like bug bites but they were taking forever to go away. My mom is a nurse and she said it looks like shingles. I’m traveling so it’s hard to go to a doc a this point. It’s been over a week and at least it doesn’t feel worse so I think I’m past the point of antivirals doing anything. Annoying this.

I’ve never had a dentist or hygienist recommended any specific type of toothbrush to me outside of electric toothbrushes. The big thing they seem to care about is flossing.

How is your toothbrush damaging? You don’t need to press as hard as you can!!

Hell…sitting just on the ground I’d even understand. It sounds spontaneous enough. But bringing out a fucking chair is just deliberate and fucking bizarre behavior.

It’s not a common scenario nowadays, but I have a coworker with 4 incredibly young children all only a year or two apart in age. A bit harder to wrangle that many children who are that young.

What in the fresh hell???

I only knew of this man. Never stumbled upon his content. It is just sad that so many people share these views because what the actual fuck.

Yes

we’re on air

Hm well I honestly have a very tiny bathroom for American standards.

Ok I was gonna ask for pics of your bathroom and spa lolol

I really doubt it’s that deep. The price likely just changes globally.

So if you pick up your item while it’s $7, but then walk to the register and it’s now $9, it would ring up as $9.

Yeah, that does sound like deceptive marketing, but my random guess is that it likely isn’t changed much throughout the day.

Idk…a lot of speed bumps I’ve come across are crazy violent. They aren’t sloped enough and instead project upwards very abruptly.

Obviously, not every speed bump is the same, but still.

I really would prefer for hidden speed bumps to not exist when I’m riding my motorcycle, for example, where that can be a rather dangerous “feature” of the road.

Is this a serious comment

Interesting. I thought a lot of Japanese dwellings were smaller than the average American home. But I’m in the US and my entire bathroom is like between one third and one half of this image. I don’t have room for a setup like this without making the neighboring room significantlly smaller.

Well it is a job, but it’s also a relationship. The two aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive. In the OP, the one person presumably has a job where they are working outside of the home. The other person’s job is to cook inside of the home.

In fact, thinking about it like a job might be even better because then you can set clearer boundaries, like “days off/vacations” from cooking.

In general, it seems like the stay at home spouse is expected to be “always on”, but people get burnt out and relationships get strained that way. People need more breaks and clearly defined delineations for that.

You sound like a pleasant individual
