according to the Wikipedia page on dishwashers (don't laugh you know you have been to random ones too) the water is "typically between 55 and 75 °C (130 and 170 °F)"

Thank you, and thank you to everyone that gave me advice tonight. It might just give me the resolve to get through high school.

I've been trying to learn Arabic, but I haven't really made any progress in church. Idk, it's just not a romance language so I'm having trouble.

Thanks. I try to think about other things, but I've grown to hate the music and art. I have been concentrating on lowering my heart rate. Thanks for the meditation idea.

Yeah, my dad thinks all protestant religion is misguided and not true Christianity. So that might not work. I could try?

How did you Jezzies deal with families that forced religion on you when you were a minor? I'm a junior in high school and I've been just waiting it out until I can leave for college and do my own thing. It's pretty much always been a tough situation for me, because my mom is a Scandinavian Lutheran that's not really…

well I am supposed to be in church right now (thank you, insane parents. Sorry I'm agnostic.) But I snuck out after 2 hours and am currently hiding in a very cold storage closet. Fml.

I'm hiding in a church bathroom trying to get my fucking contact case open so I can take my fucking contacrd out of my fucking eyes. So sober. Considering tossing the contacts down the drain. Fuck it all

Go ahead.

Sounds like my parents, so I had to go ask my sister if she posted on Jezebel. Apparently not. Should I go check if I have one of those split personality disorders, or are our parents just strangely similar?

TWITTER IS DOWN NOW WHAT????????

This = my life. I can't stand my dad. I sometimes like to think of him as a person that is in a dark cave and he can see the exit but the light is too bright and hurts his eyes so he stays in his little cave and bumbles around. It's a hilarious picture for me, and I would rather eat my own foot than tell him that, but…

Same here. Sad how familiar this sounds.

Has anyone else noticed that in the reviews of the Yelp app itself, there are reviews of random restaurants? People didn't even bother to install the app; they just found the app, and in their fury, just hit review and started typing away about a restaurant when they are supposed to be talking about bug fixes and…

People always say, "You'll know" when to put down your animal, but for me, it's been really hard. My horse (she's my first) has had trauma induced carpal osteoarthritis (bad knee, vet doesn't know why) for almost 2 years and is steadily getting worse. She is the most lovely, friendly, beautiful horse I have ever met.

I gave a speech in one of my classes and got a 98%! Awesome for me because I'm quite introverted and HATE speaking to more than 2 people at a time. Really boosted my self confidence.

I spent over an hour today researching prison reform in the 1820s, and for a moment I thought I had the wrong browser open.

I agree, it is a problem. Especially for drug-related charges.

That's tough. I try to imagine crushes being gross, but that doesn't usually work. If it's really bad, you might just try spending less time with Jed and more time communicating with your boyfriend. For me, my feelings depend a lot on who I spend the most time with.

I don't know much about podcasting, but maybe you need a better headset/Mic? I really like Grace Helbig's Not too Deep. Sorry I can't help more, but maybe just do some research?
