I’ve definitely noticed paper straws come in different qualities, and are affected differently depending on what you’re drinking. But the ones that turn mushy were largely phased out of use because I’m sure a lot of people complained. I haven’t had a mushy straw in years.

Their attitudes towards elderly parents. I’ve been told I shouldn’t worry about helping them in their old age because they had their chance to work and save for retirement and so it’s their responsibility of it’s not enough. Except… They didn’t. They migrated here with nothing, provided for THEIR parents their whole lives, and did the best they could for me, which left them with next to nothing. Westerners assume everyone boomer aged or so had the same opportunities that their parents had. The nuclear family is also very hands-off about caring for the elderly. That’s not how most of the world operates. Plus, it’s so sad!

I’m in Canada and my issue is every machine wants you to tap somewhere different. They all have a label somewhere indicating where to tap, but sometimes it’s on a screen, sometimes a sticker somewhere, sometimes a handwritten note next to the machine… and there are so many other signs and stickers all over the place that I often don’t spot the right one right away, so it takes me a couple of tries. Other than that it’s very easy.

But the cashiers always look at you judgingly like “why don’t you know how to do this basic thing?? It has the little logo RIGHT THERE beside these other 6 flashier logos.” Or at least in mind that what they’re thinking lol

Yep, threatened to commit suicide and everything. When I started dating again he found my new SO’s social media and said if he kept dating me he would fight him. Thankfully the new SO was a reasonable person and just answered “I don’t want to fight you so I’m just going to call the cops.”

Yes, you are the odd one. Ads are literally designed to be difficult to ignore.

Only if you assume elections will keep happening.

They outdo themselves every year. There’s always at least one episode that was insane that they could pull it off. They obviously have an amazing team!

Mama = suck

Guevo = huevos = literally eggs but figuratively means balls

What? We’re not good enough to be presented multiple rocks? Do we need to ration one of Earth’s most abundant resources now?

In this case it looks like they commited fraud, so it’s not even just political.

Want them, can’t afford them. Not in terms of money, living space (which money would solve), or time (which is required to make money). I already feel like I’m drowning on my own, I don’t want to also fail my children.

Plus the world is a shitty place.

We’ll duh, chocobos are awesome!

I’ve never encountered one and I download from there a lot!

Sadly, the people who support this don’t want trans people to be able to play sports, because they don’t want them to participate in society at all. They have no empathy, nor do they respect the science.

But first, the person banning water would become the ultimate serial killer.

Becoming Russia’s toy won’t exactly help matters along in that regard. Plus then there’s the tariffs which he has no idea how they work.

My own experience is that the lower and side areas around the opening going into the vagina are a lot more stimulating than the clitoris, which makes penetrative sex so much better. This is not very common for women, but it might apply to your partner. Applying gentle pressure to these areas is good for me so that could be something to try. Gauge her reaction. I believe this preference is very uncommon, and I’ve had partners refuse to believe I like it, so I’m not very open about it anymore.

Losing all of the skills you gain. No matter how good you get at something, after a few centuries you’ll have lost your edge. You can also only practice so many things concurrently without giving something up. At some point, years down the line, you might try to ride a bike again and completely fail to do it, or try to sing and fail to hit all the notes that came easily before, or do gymnastics but the muscles you need are underused. It doesn’t matter that you spent years mastering every skill, your abilities will degrade over time. You’ll never really be able to feel sure about your own abilities except for whatever you’ve done most recently.

Sorry to be pedantic but the word is “precedent”

Canada doesn’t accept just anyone for no reason.
