Yeah if you’re a functional member of society, then I don’t at all get the stigma. It’s the NEETs that should be getting a bad rap.

I’ve got my own place, but I’ve asked my mom to come live with me before. She doesn’t want to lol (for various reasons, but we have a really good relationship), but I definitely would feel super comfortable doing so if the circumstances called for it!

I think the point with standing desks is really you just want one that can convert to either be a standing or a sitting desk. And you switch it up from time to time.

It’s odd the people that advocate for standing only all day. Standing in one spot all day is straight up painful unless you’ve got a nice standing mat. Even then it can suck. Walking all day is different and won’t hurt as much. Long periods of immobility in any position aren’t exactly great for you, whether you’re sitting or standing. Not having the option to sit is also terrible.

A combo of standing and sitting is best, not one or the other.

I just assume no one is ever flirting with me unless it’s a creepy old man

Apple isn’t alone in this. Samsung’s default keyboard does this as well. It’s absolutely infuriating. I’m an adult. I should be able to say what I want to say without my phone of all fucking things censoring me like I’m in primary school or at a job interview. It’s ludicrous. So I use Gboard instead.

I’m not quite the same demographic as you, but I get it.

For me, it’s simply not possible to have kids unless I adopted. And that ain’t happening (adoption is a long, arduous, and expensive process and I’m only one person…wouldn’t want to take that alone). I suppose technically my body might physically be able to produce kids…I haven’t tried, but that’s missing the point.

People sometimes ask me if I want kids and it’s just such a silly question for someone like me. It’s like asking if I had a mega mansion, how would I decorate the 7th bathroom? What I want is irrelevant because that’s not at all in the realm of possibility.

I don’t know if I would want kids or not. But since it’s not possible, it’s not worth dwelling over.

Weirdly I know quite a few people who converted to being religious as adults. As children, they weren’t raised with any particular religion.

If these were colonoscopy pics, someone would be having a huge problem with their colon

Thank God this doesn’t happen to me anymore as an adult

Damn I remember seeing this printed out when I was literally a child. Interesting to see this text come back in 2024.

Physical therapists are going to be physically manipulating people around helping them to do their exercises and such. You’re going to be physically taxed a fair bit. Although in theory, PT’s won’t have to help a patient every time they need to get up to use the toilet like a nurse or nurse’s aid would.

Lmao where do you sit?

Can you elaborate more? I also thought there was just sand there. What is there actually?

Odd. That’s backwards from what I generally hear people talk about. When you’re still in your early twenties, it’s very easy to meet people in college/university. Once you start getting older and leaving behind schooling and its associated extracurriculars, it gets way more difficult to meet people. Where are these 35+ people going out and finding partners? Not saying it’s impossible by any stretch of the imagination, just a lot harder.

I know Chicago really blurs the line between “deep dish” and straight up “casserole”, but this is a whole new level. What even is this? I’m both intrigued and mildly horrified.

Yep, doesn’t happen with any specific brand. If this happens then it means the gum is old.

I’m using Voyager. I can zoom in on the image

Stop scaring me. I don’t want to think about my death!!

I am a younger millennial. I use ellipses all the time tbh. But I never use them at the end of a sentence like that. I tend to use them in the middle of a sentence often to break it up if it seems to long and I don’t want the formality of a semicolon.

How do you pronounce Wafrn?

Too bad you don’t have a sick in it too good or like a popsicle!
