garbagebagel,

I have the opposite problem where I know there are better alternative routes but google refuses to acknowledge them.

I didn't know where else to ask rule (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

How do you shave your balls? Every time I’ve tried with my trimmer it pinches and tears my sack and I’m too traumatized to try it again unless there’s a full proof bloodless method. Usually I just pluck as many as I can tolerate while I’m sitting around watching YouTube or somethin. But it’s such a pain (literally)....

garbagebagel,

I don’t have nuts so I don’t really have a say in this but you could never get me to put Nair in the more sensitive parts of my genitalia. Ball skin is so thin and sensitive, I can’t imagine that burn.

garbagebagel,

This is just a Denny’s ad and I know this because I worked there for more than 10 years and we used these exact pictures for probably that entire time.

garbagebagel,

I’m gonna ask for t for totally cis reasons now. I’m definitely a body builder and absolutely not an 🥚.

garbagebagel,

It’s hugely dependent on a lot of factors but what I can say for sure that’s helped for me personally:

  • having more locally sourced options like farmers markets and local butchers
  • not having to commute to work every day (the extra time and energy saved means I’m much more willing to cook something healthy)
  • a healthier work/life balance
  • making more money… Buying local isn’t cheap.

I know veggies, even when they’re not local, are cheaper than a lot of processed food but not when we’re talking convenience and energy spent. Having the energy to prep and cook fresh produce, as well as a local market within walking distance have been the biggest factors for me.

I know I’m a pessimist but I feel like this is another one of those issues where we take the mask off and it’s just that monster capitalism underneath.

garbagebagel, (edited )

The stickers are compostable and edible already

Editing to say I’m a liar I guess, since I couldn’t find proof to back this claim and have just been eating plastic sometimes.

garbagebagel,

Omg I guess I’ve been tricked. I had read that they were mostly in at least the US but now can’t find any evidence to support that. Gotta do my homework better I guess.

There’s one company that is making them that has customers all over north america but I guess it’s not as common as I thought. cbc.ca/…/plastic-sticker-produce-ban-alternative-…

garbagebagel,

I mean, there’s plenty of billionaires so it doesn’t have to be both at the same time.

garbagebagel,

I didn’t get the reference but I just thought the comment was funny. (I’m old but just not familiar with a lot of things)

garbagebagel,

Idk this is probably about the most entertaining thing I’ve seen from this whole Reddit debacle and I’m kind of here for it.

garbagebagel,

I’m not a finance expert but I feel like in the long run it’d be cheaper to raise the death benefit or subsidize cremation services than to build dead body storage facilities all over the country.

I need to wake up early (lemmy.world)

All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look...

garbagebagel,

And honestly if they’re looking for affordability, I have a $25 mi fit (or at least that’s what it cost when I bought it 6 years ago) that has the same functionality. The app for it is shit, but it does the job.

garbagebagel,

My parents at 24: oh shit you’re pregnant better get married

Me at 32 living in sin and child free: is another plant too much responsibility?

garbagebagel,

Yeah these mf-ers drank the No Name Cool Aid

"It doesn’t really make sense to me. I don’t understand what the motive is behind that. Why would anyone want to steal?” said Othman Ali, a regular shopper at Superstore.

Idk Othman, why don’t you ask your thief bestie Galen

garbagebagel,

JVN is non-binary so not exactly a man but explores the gender blend and is an excellent role model for leading an authentic life.

garbagebagel,

I’m mostly sex repulsed but I find giving oral way more manageable than penetrative sex. Mostly I just don’t like being touched but yes like someone else said, knowing that you’re causing the pleasure for someone else is the appealing part of it. Especially if they’re vocal about it.

garbagebagel,

Do you mean like intrusive thoughts that we normally stop, or is there a different part that we’re not even aware of?

garbagebagel,

Bruh what the fuck did trans people/trans allies have to do with the circumstances that created these issues? Stop using them as a scapegoat.

Anti homelessness is very real and very obvious but I’ve never seen a fucking pride parade advocating for the removal of safe spaces for the unhoused. I do regularly see politicians advocating for that shit though.

garbagebagel,

In my experience, the politicians that are out there passing laws to criminalize homelessness are usually the ones that are more outspoken against the rights of LGBTQ people. In any case, trans people’s existence has nothing to do with anti homeless laws. Stop trying to conflate the two.

garbagebagel,

That was my first thought but then I realized that if I, a 30-something year old old person, understand every word of it, it’s gotta be a lil sus.

garbagebagel,

I mean, holler also means contact me so it could be that, it would just sound a little silly. Not like holla at ya boi

garbagebagel,

It also fucks with the quality of videos to the point where they are unwatchable if you have an android

garbagebagel,

Yeah I definitely didn’t learn to cook at all from home ec. I remember sowing more though and I did learn the basics at least there but it was reinforced in my house, whereas cooking was not as much, so I can’t really tell if it stuck because it was a home thing too.

I think things like, what we called tech Ed that sounds like your industrial arts, was really more about introducing kids to the concepts and they could find out if it was something they were into. Most people would never attempt or maybe even know how to attempt woodworking if not introduced in school.

garbagebagel,

I guess you got a point there hobbywise but I was thinking more like if they’re thinking about college and whatnot, if those activities are something they enjoyed in high school they might consider going into internship or trades for that kind of thing.

garbagebagel,

Honestly just the fact that you’re asking and are showing the self awareness is pretty great.

I haven’t been brave enough to actually seek therapy past a few very generic counselling sessions in university, but I think the most important thing to me would just be someone who doesn’t invalidate my existence. I identify as asexual and one of my biggest fears in going to therapy is for my sexual identity to be medicalized and dismissed, as I’ve heard many others like me have experienced.

garbagebagel,

And every single one of those is accurate

garbagebagel,

This isn’t new to this generation though, I remember my friend wore a Poison shirt that she bought at Bluenotes when we were like 12 and neither of us even knew it was a band until like a year later when someone gave her shit for wearing it. It was just a cool shirt man, blame capitalism not the kids.

garbagebagel,

I am a native speaker and can confirm, both of those words refer to a woman. The rest of the article correctly refers to the baby as la bebe.

garbagebagel,

Yeah good tip, that’s why I only ever microwave my stainless steel containers. No risk of cancer there!

garbagebagel,

My phone is smart enough now that it corrects it depending on the context. Not always but most of the time, like if it write “it’s his aunt” it does it automatically and also if I write “my life has had its struggles” it writes it’s at first and then corrects it once I finish the next word

garbagebagel,

The one that really kills me is the apostrophe for plural stuff. My boss did a PowerPoint the other day with fuckin apostrophes all over the place. It’s not that hard.

garbagebagel,

Near me there are TONS of empty places, the developing is not the issue. Nobody can afford them. Hell I don’t even own and the place next to me sat empty for 3 months because it was going at an absurd rent for the size.

garbagebagel,

If you’re ok with point and click/puzzlers, the rusty lake games are probably some of my favourite storylines. Extremely well written imo, creepy and with a few jump scares to keep you on your toes.

garbagebagel,

Same could be said about coffee but I feel like people are more willing to forgive all the garbage coffee out there than the tea.

I enjoy a good high quality cup of either.

garbagebagel,

Wasn’t that one woman who lied about cancer and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars fully brought down for tax evasion because they couldn’t really get her on much else? The scamanda woman

garbagebagel,

No way, explorers lying about their experiences? :O

garbagebagel,

*For sale: baby poop knives, can’t dismember dogs

garbagebagel,

From the ancient origins link above:

While the author Wade Davis admits the story could be “apocryphal”, he cited the autobiography of Peter Freuchen who claimed to have shaped his own feces into a frozen chisel to make his escape.

So he claimed he did it himself as well as saying he knew how to do it because of the “well known account”. But also, anthropologists made shit up about the cultures they studied all the time, which is what I was actually referring to.

garbagebagel,

I wanted to laugh at the idiot cop until I heard the victim’s very real screams thinking someone was dead because she did what is supposed to be the right thing to do by calling the cops :(

garbagebagel,

This post and comment section made me feel like I was back in Reddit. Gross.

garbagebagel,

The vast majority of the recovered items have come from Danish gemstone dealer Dr Ittai Gradel, who first alerted the museum to the thefts in 2021.

Is it me or does it make it sound like they have so much shit they didn’t even realize they were gone?

Side note though, those look beautiful.

garbagebagel,

I recently learned the correct spelling of the word prerogative and I still haven’t recovered.

garbagebagel,

I’ve always heard it pronounced per-ogative, not prr-ogative

garbagebagel,

Do you have a tl;dr of the debunking? I remember hearing it was like electromagnetic something messing with the nav systems but that one sounds like a myth now that I think about it

garbagebagel,

Ok but spontaneous human combustion still got me shook though
