The fact that you feel relief after this relationship ended is a sign that you are better off without her. Focus on yourself, what makes you happy, reconnect with your friends and family. Every relationship has its lessons to learn from before moving on to the next one. Take care of yourself and do something that you've always wanted to do but couldn't (or wouldn't) when you were together, enjoy the freedom of being single. From one internet stranger to another, I wish you the best of luck in your new adventures :)

Have you looked into shoe inserts that essentially reduce the size of the shoe interior? My friend has extremely small feet and faces a similar problem of not finding shoes that are small enough, and I think she's had some luck with the inserts

I really want to try uni someday! I've yet to see it on the menu where I live

Goat cheese, lamb/mutton, truffle and any kind of mushroom, spicy foods

Once I had this dark chocolate with chile pepper and pop rocks in it, no one else wanted to try it but I really liked it

There are many tube worms that do have digestive tracts, but I assume you are talking about chemosymbiotic tube worms that are found in methane seeps and hydrothermal vents. These guys essentially live in farts (hydrogen sulfide, methane), which their symbionts use for chemosynthesis.

Amazing, thanks for sharing!!

I've only have wild boar jerky before and it was pretty tasty, but you gotta get the meat tested first bc they can carry some serious diseases.

Sorta fun fact from my organizmal bio teacher: the reason you never hear about pork being cooking medium rare is that we are fairly closely related to pigs and so we are susceptible to many of the diseases that can infect pigs.

I took that stuff too (aka accutane). Severest depression I've ever experienced but I'm thankful to only get the occasional acne as an adult now.

Sea levels are predicted to rise about "0.63–1.60 m (2–5 ft) mean sea level rise by 2100, and that by 2150, the total sea level rise in this scenario would be in the range of 0.98–4.82 m (3–16 ft) by 2150" (Fox-Kemper et al. 2021) so not really a noticeable amount in most of our lifetimes. The amount it rises will probably exceed these predictions as our CO2 emissions show no sign of decreasing anytime soon and gestures wildly at everything. But sea level rise is predominantly caused by thermal expansion of the oceans, not necessarily glacial melting, contrary to popular belief. Basically, as the earth gets warmer, most of the heat is absorbed by the oceans since they make up such a significant portion of our surface, and the water molecules expand causing the volume to increase.

Thank you! Also the fork is a good idea 🙂

My nerd man says it's less of "the call is coming from inside the house" and more of a "you can't go back in time and kill yourself" situation XD

And I shall become Queen

Can you share a link for that info? A friend of mine is a probationary fed who just got fired, so I'm trying to help in any way that I can

I really only know of Chris Chan from a Behind the Bastards episode

Info about fed employees' names, job titles, and salaries is publicly available info, bc the government is actually more transparent than the slack-jawed yokels will have you believe. Kinda like how your political party affiliation and whether you voted is publicly available.

Hookworms can be acquired by bare skin against contaminated soil, so it's theoretically possible, especially if TheBrideWoreCrimson wore their birthday suit

Weapons of gas destruction ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Do you have the timestamp for the ATC audio? I'm having trouble hearing what was being said

I hope you find a place soon, sending hugs and good vibes your way

I remember this happening too. It was mostly fast food restaurants that were supposedly going to shut down bc "young people would rather sit back on the stimulus check than work minimum wage in shit conditions" while boomers couldn't stand missing their mcfatty meal at every whim. That's how the news spun the narrative around 2020-2022 during the height of the anti work movement. I'm sure I could find a source if I visibly gags checked my old reddit account
