I make my own bread, then I use factory occlupanids and bread bags to laugh at the Fates.

Pretty much ALL ice cream is too sweet, imo. We got a Cuisinart ice cream maker — which I admittedly haven’t used in a year — specifically to make coffee ice cream. If you feel like giving it a crack yourself (which you can do without an actual ice-cream machine!), heat up your milk or milk/cream mixture and use a…

people are probably only putting on one glove to open and close a door or something like that, and getting rid of once they are done with the task

The sad fact is that your method of thinking is the minority.

Or you could not produce unnecessary trash with single use plastic.

The focus of the stride should be on form with speed, rather than just focusing on speed.

Jog/Run/Sprint?

I don’t think there is a specific time that matters for most people. I focus on heart rate and effort. Most of my runs are at an effort where I can hold a conversation, the pace at which that is possible gets lower…

Just a big scam. Now that china has cracked down there is nowhere to the sell the crap anymore so 85%+ is going to landfills anyway. 

It worked on me, when I was in high school/college. It would STILL work on me, if it happened. I’d be so horrified that what I thought was funny was met with disgust, I’d likely never say it again and feel really ashamed.

I don’t think it will change the friend’s behavior, but 1) it will let them know that not everyone shares their worldview, 2) it will give bystanders something to think about, and 3) it will let the targets, if there are any present, know they have allies.

The thing that is most likely to change a person’s behavior is for multiple people they trust and respect to all repeatedly tell them the same thing over and over and over again. Ideally, 3-5 people should periodically be telling this person the same thing, in different ways, non-judgementally and…

Ask! Sometimes things happen quickly and your not sure how you feel. It’s nice to have a moment to decide where you’re at, with kissing and other advances. It’s also nice (and rare) to find yourself with someone who cares what you want.

woman, 33 (and back on the scene after a ten year relationship) watch his/her body language during the date. is their body and their feet turned toward you? usually a sign they’re into you. if you’re not sure, a gentle “you are so beautiful in this light/you look so handsome right now, would you mind if i kissed you?”…

I’m 27 and I think asking is sweet. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell on a first date if someone is having a nice time, but not necessarily interested in pursuing something further, or if they’re having a nice time and into you. With online dating being so prevalent you don’t always have much, if any, of a rapport with…

36, F. Would definitely not ask for permission

29 and I’d always ask. Mainly because I’m terrible at reading people and it’s quite a relief to know what other people want.

Hitch has some advice for you...

F, 35. The dude I married asked me, but very suavely. That was a long time ago, so I don’t know what people are doing now, but I was super into it at the time. Then again, when I wanted action from men before him, I asked as well. I find consent sexy, and like green lights. 

Woman, 32. Ask if you’re not sure (asking can be very cute!), but if you’re going to go for it, pay attention to body language.

Ask! I had a date recently where I liked the other person on a friend level but wasn’t feeling romantic chemistry. She asked if she could kiss me and I was able to politely decline her, rather than having to deal with an unwanted kiss.

Woman, 28. Go for it. I agree with a lot of folks that the landscape has changed a lot recently but I still think you’ll be able to pick up on cues indicating if it’s a good idea or not. Just pay attention.
