Well that makes sense, soybeans are grown in… wait a second

Yeah, I get that! Good luck next time :)

Oh my gosh, that’s really impressive! Wavy hair is so nice, but I definitely could not keep my hair that long. I got married a couple years ago and grew it out longer than it ever has been at about 60 cm and I did not enjoy caring for it.

Tbh, I’m just lazy about getting haircuts, but I can’t stand the feeling of my hair touching me. I figure some good should come out of it at least, since it just keeps growing, lol. Plus my mom underwent chemo when I was a young kid and her struggle with not having hair stuck with me. Donating mine every so often helps others in that situation and ensures I don’t get too hung up on my own hair.

My cat’s cool until they try to take her temperature, which she hates. She always looks at me like I’ve betrayed her and I can’t blame her, it’s a pretty invasive thing that I can’t exactly explain to her. She just knows that I brought her somewhere and tried to calm her down before someone put something in her ass.

That sounds lovely. My husband and I share care for our one cat and sometimes it’s a lot, so kudos!

Real quick though, how do you get up without waking the cats? Are they heavy sleepers or are you super stealth?

Oh damn. I’m pretty proud of my 8 minute routine, but 5 is impressive! I’ll blame my hair washing (super fine and straight hair that I’ve finally pushed to accept 2-3 days in between showers, but absolutely no more).

I tend to grow my hair out to donate it and then chop it all off every couple of years, and one of the less comfortable feelings I’ve experienced is slow drying long hair in summer humidity, so I definitely understand wanting to wash it less often (plus it’s healthier and clearly better for water usage 😁)

Breakfast is necessary for me, because I won’t be able to eat lunch if I don’t eat breakfast and then I’m not even really hungry for dinner. It’s okay this time of year, but in the summer I need to really force myself to get some food in me because the heat of the day will further reduce my appetite and I get pukey in the sun.

I do carry snacks with me, but they’re not the ideal breakfast, and it’s much nicer when I just remember.

As a note, it’s not great advice for me that I can just listen to my body’s hunger levels, I lost 14 kilos in my first summer in my new country by doing that. I’m in contact with my doctor and we’ve figured out how I can best manage the heat and keep myself at a healthy weight, so I’m not in danger of that anymore, but that advice is not one size fits all.

I’ve got such a crush on Brian blessed.

Between brushing and fruit is about an hour. I swear I’ve got my nighttime routine down.

Just hopping on here in case it’s not well known, he’s eating off of a pewter dish. Pewter reacts with the acids in tomatoes to release bioavailable lead, causing lead poisoning if done long term. Lead poisoning makes you more violent and oppositional, as well as stupider.

It’s normally spelled heirloom, but I honestly like your spelling better

I’m not the OP, but this is a great answer, I bet your students are grateful for you.

That depends. She’s a trained obstetrician, she probably knows when moving the patient is better than not (and yes, anyone can sue you for $10k for helping someone over state lines for the purpose of getting an abortion). There’s also the possibility that it’s a ten or more hour drive to the nearest clinic, which comes with a significant time and gas money commitment that some people would find it difficult to impossible to make. I agree that performing medicine is not the most effective protest, but it’s totally the most effective way of making sure that your vulnerable patients get medical care.

Campaigning against abortion bans is great, but how many women will die before the next election? I don’t think I’d be willing to comply with the law and watch them as a doctor, and I hope most doctors would agree, because I’d personally far prefer to get treatment than follow the laws in an emergency.

I talked to my dentist about it years ago, and he said it’s not ideal, but flossing and brushing once is better than just brushing twice, and I should make sure to do it at night. I don’t as a matter of course brush my teeth once a day, that was just third on the list. Much more commonly, I forget to wash my face and I eat breakfast about every other day, which is probably more detrimental to my health.

I don’t really need that advice though. I was just identifying with the meme and I honestly take umbrage at the fact that someone comes to the adhd subreddit and suggests “just do it” when someone’s not asking for advice. It’s not helpful nor is it constructive, and they immediately started shaming me and others about it.

The procedure is banned, nobody’s licensed to do it anymore. If you’ve trained as an obstetrician and midwife and can do a lifesaving procedure which has now been banned because politicians got worried that not enough people show up to church, I think it’s absolutely your right to get upset for being arrested for it. The other option is for someone who took the Hippocratic oath to sit and watch people needlessly die for politics.

I don’t think she’s surprised, because it’s not surprising, but it’s sure as hell upsetting.

God, can you imagine killing JFK by accident and having to sit on that secret forever because the FBI doesn’t want to get a bad reputation?

Equipping cops with cameras gets cops in prison, not the people cops are terrorizing, that’s the difference.

I introduced my Croatian friend to my Serbian roommate about a week into arriving in Germany, thinking they’d hit it off and be excited for a common language.

They were both kind and very firm about how differently the interaction might have gone if they were slightly different people.

They did eventually become friends, but I also eventually met my roommate’s parents and got a better understanding of the older generation.

Oh shit, I just gotta start doing it??? I can’t believe you fixed adhd just like that.

It’s definitely not for everyone, but the only thing stopping me from making a mac and cheese sandwich is shame.

I will say, most of the mac and cheese pizzas I’ve had were more enjoyable(for me) than good and the texture is the reason. To do it well, you basically just need a good thick cheese sauce that coats the noodles well enough to insulate them from getting simultaneously soggy and burnt, but the best sauce for that is not the best sauce for standard mac and cheese
