I prefer most foods at room temp and used to just leave meals out all day until I ate them at four pm and boy that made me sick.

when i first moved in with my roommate, she was constantly throwing up and attributed it to some unexplainable chronic issue. after a year with me here, she's learned a lot about proper food preparation and storage, as well as having me sort of on top of managing groceries, and she almost never gets sick like that anymore.

anyway i think that woman might be one of a kind but just in case she's not: if you find yourself having frequent tummy troubles with no clear explanation... maybe just. try refreshing your food safety knowledge. (also don't forget to wash your water bottle). like, chances are you've been doing everything right and there's some other reason. but there's a nonzero chance that something you assumed was common sense is actually incorrect and you've been repeatedly making yourself sick.

people think kitchen management is totally easy and intuitive (prolly something to do with it being degraded as "women's work" but i digress) but there's science to food safety. and the people who raised you may have failed to teach you properly, whether through negligence or through not knowing everything themselves. it can't hurt to double check your knowledge here, just in case.

I love how- when Campaign 2 started we were like "IF YOU EVER WANTED TO START CRITICAL ROLE, NOW IS THE TIME BECAUSE IT'S A NEW CAMPAIGN WITH NEW CHARACTERS SO YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING AND-" We were pretty chill, all things considered. And also we were right.

So when campaign 3 started we were like "IF YOU EVER WANTED TO START CRITICAL ROLE, NOW IS THE TIME BECAUSE IT'S A NEW CAMPAIGN WITH NEW CHARACTERS SO YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING AND-" boy were we wrong. Insanely wrong. lmao.

Anyway! Nevermind all that! Campaign 4 of critical role starts soon and if you ever wanted to start getting into critical role NOW IS THE TIME! COME IN, THE WATER'S WARM, THE CAST IS EXPANDING, NEW CHARACTERS, NEW DM, NEW WORLD, NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY THIS TIME, WE PROMISE

I bump up against this thinking just being raised around Christians too. My coworker was recently talking about switching to glass containers for her lunch because of the hormone disrupters in plastics and I spent like ten minutes telling her that plastic food containers weren't the problem, it's car tires and fishing nets that cause most micro plastics. I then realized that less plastic regardless of reason is better for earth. I literally limit my plastic bottle consumption to one a week and buy things in cans because it's better for the environment. It didn't matter why my coworker was switching to a more sustainable dish, I should have encouraged her.

there's a jewish story about a rich man who goes to his rabbi to ask him about building an orphanage, and the rabbi is like "yeah duh go for it!!" and then later the rich guy comes back and is like "actually I've decided not to... I was just doing it for my own image and not coz I cared about orphans" and the rabbi was like "bitch the orphans don't care why you're building the orphanage!!!" and sometimes I wish I could say that to lefties who haven't unpacked their christian upbringing. sometimes motives don't matter!! who give a fuck why a politician wants to do a good thing? bitch the orphans don't!!

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.

the thing is when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from supernatural they usually mean "it was invented by the supernatural fandom in a fanfic". on the other hand, when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from star trek, they mean "it was the plot of at least one star trek episode"

I know the nuance button is rarely welcome, but they probably meant it in the context of a check in. "What's your safe word?" Followed by a response to make sure that the characters are still capable of communication.

Okay, something about that kinktober (with no kink) thing that I noticed is this: every fic must have a conversation about a safeword being used, and then use it in the scene. Obviously this comes from the fact that they're treating fictional characters like real humans yadda yadda yadda

But like... the hope behind a safe word is that you're not supposed to use it unless something goes wrong. So like.

This is unironically what they're doing oml

The argument of "trans men have privilege when they pass" is also so asinine because privilege isn't just "other men treating you nicer" it's getting unbiased and unrestricted medical attention, it's lower or no statistics of corrective sexual assault or impregnation, it's not having actual laws passed against your existence, it's not having to worry about passing in the first place, it's having historical figures retain their identity and not erased in some girl power misgendering bs, it's having your identity celebrated instead of treated like a loss of something pure.

If you think male privilege is just being treated like "one of the guys" in day to day life, you need to relearn a lot of things about privilege before you try to have these conversations.

It helps keep the post office afloat, but it's rather dystopian that we need a system of useless mail to fund the mail.

every time i have to spend a few minutes in the apartment`s mail room sorting and throwing out scammy credit card offers i wonder how many hours of labor went into the inkmaking, papermaking, graphic design, copy writing, and shipping of trash that is only ever meant to hurt people

If you're running or doing stairs that's not too bad. Judging by your low end though, you might need more cardio in general because that about how mine looked when I was a potato that did nothing.

I might not be a doctor but I feel like this isn’t healthy

Something tells me the human heart shouldn’t be beating 178 bpm
