As a fellow itchy person, of course! Happy to help!

This is going to sound unhelpful, but the trick is just don’t itch. You have to rewire the part of your brain saying that scratching is how you make it itch less, and convince yourself that it’s the opposite–noticing the itch and not touching it is how you’ll make it go away. It’s a bit like getting into an ice cold pool, feeling all your muscles tense up and your breathing gets tight, and telling yourself that staying in is how you’ll get used to it. Fake it til you make it, then your brain will start to believe you.

No, you’re right, and your husband is romanticizing the countryside. You’d be significantly better off looking in places like Virginia, where you can find ranch properties and feel like you’re well out into the country while still being ~30 minutes from a Richmond-sized city.

Thank you! So is it a good thing or a bad thing? Like “this may not be an actual boil, but he’d have made one for me if he wanted to,” or “he would have made a full boil if he wanted to, so clearly he didn’t want to”?

Edit: looked it up and it’s popular enough to have articles written about the tiktok trend. Seems terrible like every other tiktok trend I’ve ever heard about.

What does “if he wanted to be would” mean here? Would what?

Fast food is defined by not having table service and being more intended for carryout than dine in eating. So either you’re asking for a system that relies on fast food restaurants to provide reusable equipment and that demands diners come back just to return it, or you’re gonna have to find another business model to support. It’s not about blame, that’s just how the entire business model works, and if a person wants not to support it, they have to make individual decisions not to do so…

You chose a seemingly intentionally rude way to respond. There’s a whole lot of ways to decline something, and it’s just as easy to be polite as not. “Sorry, I don’t have time,” even just “sorry” and keep walking are great options. Or you can choose to make someone feel bad just for asking/needing help with something. Not sure why you’d choose to make a stranger feel bad, but I guess that’s up to you.

And btw, the way you are responding to comments makes clear that, rather than genuinely asking this question, you are just looking for people to tell you it was ok to be rude.

Trough is a device in which food is served, not a room nor a location of preparation. Horses may sleep in a stall, but they also piss and shit on the floor there. I find these metaphors to be stretched a little thin, but I’m no neigh-sayer.

So this is just about you really liking opium rather than anything to do with work colleagues

Good to know, I’d love to say it was a recent moral thing, but even when twitter was twitter I didn’t know how to use it.

I think he’s saying that the profile picture appears to be newer than the tweet

I don’t speak German can someone translate. /s

This depends entirely on the type of tape it is. There’s plenty of ripstop tech in packing tapes now and adhesives that are stronger than the boxes they’re bound to, both of which make a mess if you try to tear in a straight line.

Very helpful, thank you!

Ahh that’s interesting, so the issue is as much having a conveniently shifting position as it is a further-right-than-progressives static position. Thanks a ton, that helps me understand a lot!

Gotcha, so it means fake leftists almost? Does it imply someone is even further right than a current “centrist”? Or more like, “the center is right wing at this point, and so much so that even the Dems who are just left of center are still on the right [but therefore less than centrists still]”? This is not meant to be obstinate, your response was just very helpful and I want to bracket in on where folks consider liberals to be on the political spectrum so I can understand/use it properly.

Yo how’d they fit a smartphone in there
