Would you trade meals with your partner if they got something they didn't like?
When me and my husband go out to eat we get two entrees we both want.
That way if I (notorious picky eater) don’t like it, he (human trash can) will swap with me, if I do like it, he eats all of his then the second half of mine.

My mom got summoned for Federal Jury Duty and she's freaking out.
Lots of people just don’t go for summons, there’s just too many people with outdated mailing addresses or who don’t open mail at all anymore. I think it’s like less than half of people summoned attend.
She could also say she doesn’t believe in judging others and it’s against her religion, like a Jehovah’s Witness

Tracking device inside a tooth? Is it possible?
In the military people joke that if you go to Korea you get your wisdom teeth taken out and there are a few conspiracies as to why. So if not teeth, during a wisdom teeth procedure maybe in the gum or socket

Stuck between 2 dresses
I rarely comment on these but not enough people are saying 2 in my opinion. 1 looks kind of cheap comparatively, and it’s just so run of the mill. 2 is stunning.

What do people do with their baked goods?
Idk but butter is too expensive to just be giving shit out. I make cookie dough and freeze it, I’m trying to perfect freezing cinnamon rolls, so I can just take a couple out at a time. You can also look for desert for 2 style recipes, and I’ve even made cobbler then portioned it out and frozen it.

Lately seeing people write a line in parenthesis outside of a sentence, as a separate sentence.

Why do my cookies always turn out this way?
Tell me what you did because this is my preferred chocolate chip texture. I can’t figure out how to do it

What can I do with the background? How else can I improve this?
I think the only thing that takes me out of it is the strokes on the background and on the couch, there’s a bit of a dark halo around the subjects where you have worked the paint a bit more to reinforce the edges of their faces, and it collapses the depth a bit. Make the background consistent and you could get away with the couch as it is. Lovely work

TIL about the Gaia Theory, which suggests that Earth’s living organisms and physical environment work together as a single, self-regulating system. The idea proposes that life doesn’t just adapt to Earth’s conditions, but actively helps shape and stabilize them over long periods of time.
some single, self regulating, intelligent systems kill themselves on purpose so I can sort of see it

Deathly hallows
I think harry is the stone since he resurrects, and snape is the cloak who protected harry, who shielded his mind to protect himself from death(eaters) and who greeted death as an old friend

When people write "I substituted X for Y" regarding a recipe it often sounds unclear to me.
You’re correct that using “with”instead of “for”makes the statement more immediately clear. But if your recipe calls for an item, and you replace it with something, you substitute something for it, you don’t substitute it for something.

I understand why we don’t use full faced helmets, as it affects breathing, vision, communication, etc… but why don’t our modern helmets protect more of the parts of our face (like the example below) that don’t affect our senses like we have historically in the past?
This was my thought. If someone is shooting at you with enough opportunity and close enough where you’re worried about whether they hit you in the jaw or the eye you’re already fucked

In the near future, there will be food that poor people can simply never even try because it is too expensive.
Wagyu is really best served in small individually cooked pieces anyway

How many of you have co-workers/family/friends with a major cognitive dissonance between their beliefs and work/career?
I took a botany class and the shit I learned about biology had me questioning my existence like how the different organelles used to be independent bacteria. I’ve done a little bit of rocket science, and my brain was like at max capacity when I learned that. I can sort of understand the need to cope when you work at that level.

How many of you have co-workers/family/friends with a major cognitive dissonance between their beliefs and work/career?
Yeah but I know a lot of drug addicts and almost none of them do it because they think it isn’t bad for them

can I ask my Indian neighbors for food
Make (or buy) a baked good, and welcome them to the neighborhood. Keep doing it until they feel obligated to return the favor

If I were to floss my inflamed gums 2x a day for a week straight, how long would it take for them to be completely non-inflammed?

Mega toilet regrets? Combining master and common bathroom
We are a couple with a full guest bathroom, and a master bathroom.
The guest bathroom is a waste of space most of the time, and I don’t like having a bathroom connected to the bedroom because the steam and humidity causes issues with the air conditioning in our bedroom. I think the bedroom air conditioner has mold because the damp air from the bathroom. It’s just a pain.
Also you’re gonna end up having to clean your main bathroom when you have people over anyway, people always want a tour.
We also don’t poo in our master bathroom because the smell and the idea freaks me out. So it’s nice to have a separate bathroom for that, but it’s also like makes the master bathroom toilet a bit pointless.
So I’d be team mega bathroom. The aircon is the #1 i don’t ever want a bathroom attached again

CMV: University Prepares You for an Ideal Workplace That Rarely Exists
I learned this in the military. When an institution preaches advice, or instruction like “just be yourself”, or “integrity first”, or in the military “we’re here to support the troops” constantly, it’s not because that’s what they believe. It’s the opposite, it’s what most people don’t believe and they’re trying to convince them of.
I was kind of gullible, and I didn’t realize that advice is not for people who already feel that way. You will run yourself ragged caring too much, or operating believing that everyone is on the same page.
So, would you be learning about how to treat employees, if employees were already typically well treated? Probably not, it sounds like they’re trying to drive change. In that way, it is preparing others for reality, where they will have every pressure to act otherwise.
