How Is This Mentally Ill Single Millenial Holding Down Two Jobs and Crunching Through Debt Payments? The Answer Will Shock Most Americans!

(the answer is I am a lucky bitch whose main employer fucks up just about everything except they provide premium health insurance I can afford to pay for and pay copays for, and this has been drastically improving my life)

yup, the aluminum basically acts as a mordant for the natural yellowish stain of sweat and its microbial metabolites

best to skip antiperspirant when wearing white shirts. aluminum-free deodorant (there is no such thing as aluminum free antiperspirant, btw) can help mask BO but will not stop sweat. but if you like white shirts that's probably a decent trade-off.

zinc oxide is a decent deodorant ingredient that doesn't prevent sweating but does slow down microbes that eat sweat and release odorous compounds

avoid baking soda if you have sensitive skin as it can raise your skin pH to uncomfortable levels. ymmv

energy is what scientists never have enough of and its existence is enabled purely by being able to observe yourself not having enough of it

Both details and fundamentals. And when the fundamentals get questioned things get dramatic. In like, an irritating way that reminds me of religious zealotry, uuuuuuugh

The "where is 95% of all the mass!?" seems a bit more dramatic in the grand scheme of things though, damn.

I witnessed grown adults outright bully teenage and young adult interns and grad students for presenting solid evidence that challenges paradigms (you know, like how we advance our understanding of science...?) but I can't imagine it's much better if everyone regardless of experience is just staring into a void of conflicting observations and nobody knows what the fuck any of it means

I'm currently in the medical field but "IT" is one of my nicknames 💀 every new place I work I try to hide it but I just impulsively fix shit and then end up being expected to fix shit

Unless you live in certain counties in the southern United States, where technically you need a prescription for a "marital aid." Adult stores have to label everything as "novelty use only." Really dumb.

Cocaine is also technically available as a prescription dental/oral/nasal anesthetic but I doubt there are any dentists and ENTs who want the headache and DEA spotlight on them when alternatives are available.

as someone with a mild foot fetish I can tell you it's the same answer as for my sexuality. I have no idea. I see a pretty lady and/or her feet, my brain and/or lady bits just engage. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

destruction/"rage" rooms

they're an awesome concept and I can see why they're enjoyable and therapeutic even for many people, but I just don't like breaking stuff it makes me anxious haha

Ideally concentrated though. Shipping water is certainly not environmentally friendly

if you soak the seeds in running water for like a week you can eat them. huge PITA but very tasty when debittered

i wonder if these are aimed more at laundry workers than home consumers, because that is a fair bit to memorize without it being intuitive

My job involves handling dangerous materials. Given how much some of my coworkers stress me the fuck out by being walking safety hazards, I often and happily volunteer to shift the more dangerous tasks to myself.

I'd be snagging post-revolution hazmat volunteer shifts like a fiend just trying to keep less careful people from getting them...

may be worth talking to your doctor about testing for sleep apnea or other sleep disorders

i've had bad sleep all my life and recently got tested. turns out i have nothing diagnosable but at least now i know it's a skill issue i guess lol

raising the head of my bed helped somewhat as i have mild acid reflux. it's as simple as shoving some pillows and/or old clothes under the top third of your mattress so worth a try, nothing to lose.

best of luck fellow sleepyhead

I am scared of and hate most birds but ones with long necks REALLY freak me out. Geese, swans, flamingoes, fuck those creepy stretch-neck horror movie monsters.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, love a kiwi bird. Lil dudes just be fuzzy, run around, and eat bugs. Rock on kiwi birds

that was gonna be my answer. if they ever come out with a bagged unwrapped mini bites version it's fuckin over for me

I was gonna say the plow. Agriculture means your tribe get to spend less time hunting and gathering, but the plow means your tribe get a chance to become an empire

In this case I'm taking the word "greatest" more as "biggest/most impactful" and not necessarily "most good" but also I'm no anarcho-primitivist, idk...

fire makes sense given many evolutionary biologists think cooked food influenced the ability of early hominids to evolve complex reasoning and symbolic logic, simply because proteins partially digested by fire make more nutrients available for brain growth

this theory is beginning to be contested, however: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4842772/
