  • Been driving for a few decades at this point. I use my turn signals for nearly all turns, and any moving merges. The more information I can give to other drivers, the more likely they are to act rationally… which decreases the chances of miscommunications and accidents.

    I don’t always signal while in a turn only lane, as being in that lane should already denote my intentions, and while merging into heavy (stopped, bumper to bumper) traffic…




  • It’s more of a bell curve situation. The goal is to look as unoffensive as possible. Anything that can set off the ‘life is unfair’ alarm in people who are already unhappy increases the chances of comments. That includes, looking nice, wearing expensive (or perceived expensive) anything, most well doe makeup usage, nonstandard nailwork (anything more than a simple color).

    While this isn’t true for everyone, it is definitely true for those who are willing to toss out comments in the first place…

    And I wonder more than that how often you are getting comments. Unless you’re on either extreme end of the bell curve, or in some other way sticking out way more than you should, it’s strange to me that anyone would deal with being bullied.







  • Used vaping to quit smoking.

    Weened off the nicotine then stop using the vape.

    Got hit with cravings hard and dealt with them.

    Been three years now. Any and all money I would have saved on cigarettes has instead funded my other half’s addiction to take out food. I’m more broke than I ever was before.




  • Fish in general. As a kid I absolutely disliked the strong taste and oily texture.

    I’m very open with my foods and like to retry everything I disliked in the past, things I still don’t like are Olives (weird metallic taste I don’t like), Tomatoes (slimy texture at normal size, cherry tomats are fine), unaltered boiled egg yolks (so dry, so so dry), Oatmeal (texture issue), and a couple others I can’t think of at the moment. I enjoy most of the texture based ones as soon as the texture is altered.
