I remember when a cleanliness-focussed friend got his first apartment and was able to wrangle an air freshener. It had a series of colored lights that would change in hue and number illuminated depending on what it perceived as the local air quality.
Said friend said that, ever since he got it, he made sure to go next to it any time he was feeling flatulent because he wanted to see whether he could influence the lights.
I have some spare room and warmth, but I’m not sure I want any more anarchy than a 7yo creates in my house.
Really, it’s probably true of most things that are scored. (There are probably exclusions for things you want to bend but not cut.)
Everything is made up and the points don’t matter.
I am not and never have been in possession of a vagina, so please don’t think I’m trying to tell anyone who is their business. That said, I saw diva cups being discussed and strongly recommended on reddit ten to fifteen years back and suggested one to my wife, then girlfriend, since everyone who said they had used one also said they were a much better experience.
She was resistant at first and I didn’t push since it’s her body, but apparently she took the recommendation to heart because one day one showed up at our house (not my doing) and she’s used them continuously (when needed) since then.
She has occasionally described their workings, in humorous terms, to me. I approve because she’s happier and they create less waste.
edit: To be clear, while I do approve, I didn’t mean to imply that it was a deciding factor.

I’ve never done drugs like the others here, but I did have a spinal surgery. Now my symptoms are massively improved, but I frequently think there are bugs on me, especially on my back.
Even worse, I live in a rural area and a lot of my property is wooded, so sometimes there are bugs on me; I can’t just assume it’s my nerve damage.
I still feel it’s better than “human capital.”
You say “just do this,” but installing something seems like more than just editing the configuration to me.
!g is this right?
If, like me, you don’t like to login to things, you can set your browser to use NoAI DDG by default.
DDG defaults to the Bing database, iirc. Probably that’s not all that different from Google, but I think you can preface your search with !g to get identical results.
To quote (or more likely paraphrase, it’s been a while) Dan from the Game Grumps … I’m not afraid of being dead. I’m afraid of dying.
I’ve recently been reading Semiosis, which is in part about surviving with low resources, as one would presumably be doing in any apocalypse. It’s a series of short stories. There’s one story specifically about the loss of a member of the community who isn’t well liked, but who provides art and a sense of history.
He’s the second to be found murdered. (That’s not a spoiler, it’s literally the premise of the story.)
Kudos to their companion for not getting involved and just documenting the situation.
Realistically speaking, if any of the apocalypses they fantasize about come to pass, I hope I die quickly. I’m not fit, I have injuries and require recurring medication, and it’s unlikely I’d be any boon to any other survivors.
I’m not in any danger of self harm today, but in a zombie apocalypse, I would be.
Allegedly. I never witnessed an attempt.
