I think I was the bullet my relationships dodged. I didn’t realize how broken my childhood was and how shitty I treated my girlfriends. I don’t know what changed. Maybe it was just putting some distance between me and my family, but something let me develop a little perspective. I wish I could go back and apologize to so many exes.

That’s not surprising to me at all. He seems like he would be.

I don’t remember where I was made aware of it, but it was probably this. I used to listen to NSTAAF regularly. This fact probably just got buried in the back of my head until it had the opportunity to come out now.

Yep, the same sound as when you yawn. I can make it happen without yawning. Honestly, I can only make it for 5-10 seconds before I get “tired”.

Regarding clicks …I’ve no idea what that one is.

Related: I’ve imagined a story where the obedient grunts in the military realize they just the nameless henchmen in an evil organization.

This was a really recent realization for me. I am one of the people who can voluntarily activate the tensor tympani muscles in my ears to create a low level rumbling sound. I recently tried explaining this to someone else and they still think I am making it up.

This sounds like owning a 3d printer.

Dihydrogen monoxide.

Literally kills thousands of people a year.

Just the peel? That is going to make every other part of acquiring and eating a banana really weird.

I believe in you.

It’s possible to have faith in something that isn’t a god.

I was raised Christian and capitalist. I’ve since lost faith in both.

Not exactly what you asked, but your question reminded me of this post I came across a while ago:

“Sorry, I already have plans after after work.”

There is no need to mention that your plan is to go home and relax.

Probably a couple people but it has never actually come up in conversation. I’ll ask next time I see them.

Oh God you just reminded me of a funny story. I had a boss that was probably 600lbs+. He was huge. The bathroom was a single occupant situation, and the toilet was positioned what I would consider a normal distance from the wall next to it. Typical distance to allow reach to the to dispenser.

This monster of a human had literally crushed a crater into the drywall from sitting on the toilet and being pushed up against wall. Every time I used the bathroom and saw it I laughed a little. I think I was just amazed this person could actually function.

I’ve no embarrassment about shitting in public, but I still prefer my own bathroom for sanitary and comfort reasons.

Not quite what you are asking, but the first time I saw the video from 9-11 of a plane crashing into a building was around 2014-2015 when I moved to NYC. The people I was working with there couldn’t seem to believe that I had never seen it.

There was a burrito shop that had a frequent customer card that you could use to earn points towards a free menu item. You could register the card online and for whatever reason you could add multiple cards to the same account.

A friend of mine realized that if you registered a new card they would give you a decent chunk of points just for signing up, then you could merge that account in with your existing account and get free points.

Every chance he got he would grab handfuls of the cards, activate them all, and get tons of free food.

I do this, but recently had the realization that my small percentage of cash back is sourced from the fee the credit card company charges to the vendor. After this realization I now prefer to pay cash when dealing with small local businesses. I’ve even found a few places that will give you a discount for not using a credit card which is quite nice.
