I feel like I’m probably the only one. I got really lucky in that my husband and I both can work from home, so we still have a steady income and stuff. Now without a commute, I have way more energy because I get to sleep in each morning and, well, it goes places. But I have several layers of birth control so...no…

People don’t believe in moderation. Either you eat processed food at all and you’re a downtrodden sinner who needs to be redeemed, or you only eat fresh food and you are the second coming of Christ.

This is why it burns me so much that universities in Boston have sent everyone home with no rhyme or reason why they let certain people stay. I know my alma mater is being a huge collective shithead and ignoring exception requests in favor of what seems to be a die roll. People who say they have abusive homes or live…

I’m so sorry. Agreed on all of that last paragraph there, too -- fuck the anti-science types with a rake.

Oh, okay, this does make sense. I didn’t know the transition point, as it were, was that severe on hair. Thank you!

Horf. I’m so sorry for people who have HOAs.

I’m white as fuck, my hair won’t go anywhere, so I’m asking from some clarification. If “going natural” — which I’m interpreting to mean, without modern hair care — leads to hair damage, how did black people ever keep any hair in the past? Like...modern hair care with actual science can’t be THAT old, historically.…

I’m terrified that next year we’ll have a gazillion unwanted babies because parents were too lazy to order condoms online.

Trichinella is basically nonexistent in farm raised pigs now; you can actually eat pork medium instead of well done.

My family lived on a big lake back in the day, and we had a jet ski. My dad let me drive it as soon as I proved physically able to and not stupid, which given I was a careful child, was pretty early. So I drove it around the lake a lot, and before I understood how wind worked on water, I saw these dark, choppy patches…

A lot of bacon is at least cured before packaging, which would help with not getting infected by all the things.

I too did the “singing so you’re not freaked out by the dark” thing! IDK why it’s so calming.

Yessss I too was that kid. I also got caught in kindergarten while peeling the paint off an old bathroom wall, just because I liked the feeling of it or whatever. I got sent to the principal but he just let me go...

For whatever reason, my animal of choice was a big wolf that would usually run along the telephone poles. When on the ground, it had to jump from shadow to shadow or it couldn’t move.

That game was the best! I remember being sad when I found computers at school that didn’t have it lol

The second most intense reason for getting my own house was, after “landlords are a pain in the ass,” the idea that I can do ANYTHING without having to get someone’s permission besides the city itself. No one to tell me I can’t paint my room a weird color. No one to object if I want to rip up half the driveway. It’s…

Ugh I’m the opposite, I wish I was that way. I’m a boredom eater. Right now, I’m like “man I’m tired of sitting here working from home, I have a whole kitchen right there, I can go get whatever I want.” The only thing that keeps me from eating all the time at work is that there is no food to eat. I’m mostly managing,…

My husband and I are doing that thing where we look around the house for a big piece of meat and some random veggies and huck them into a pot. We’re working from home together, and while things have gotten snippy now and then, we’re slowly hashing this out. One thing we don’t need to be focusing on right now is…

People feel entitled to children I’m guessing because “it’s my body, I’ll do what I want,” when in fact it’s not always the right decision to have children even if you really “want” one. For whatever reason the welfare of the child isn’t always considered. Also, because biology is hella powerful.
