My wife and I both use the "thumbs down" method. It's funniest when we're both doing it to some ass-hat, while riding together.
It often de-escalates the person though, as if they don't know how to respond. They usually just make angry gestures and mutter (probably obscenities) to themselves, but their rage usually chills out a bit. It's almost like you make them aware of how childish they're acting
I started watching Star Trek solely because of the memes here, and it turned out that I really liked it... and then my wife joined me after just a few episodes of TOS. Turns out we both really like it and now have a plethora of great sci-fi to watch together
We've watched TOS, TNG, and now we're about halfway through season 1 of Voyager. Plus several movies in-between. The memes converted us lol
Hey, congratulations! We just made nine years over here too
First I've heard of this. "Better to keep your mouth shut and seem stupid — rather than open it and remove all doubt". Elon really is a massive dipshit
They're still in use at most banks where I live. Most hospitals use them too; way faster than dumbwaiters
Damn, I haven't thought about those in a long time
Ahh, completely forgot about that one
My Chemical Romance — the first two albums at least, wasn't a fan of "Black Parade"
I kinda forgot about them, but same. "Frakenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy" got a lot of plays from me when I was in highschool
song called 5 what now?
Wait, which song are you referring to? For the life of me, I can't remember
Russia is part of the Asian continent
I assume "Medicine" and/or "Medical"
I uhh... I do sometimes wear gloves when cooking at home. Mainly for handling raw meat (especially mixing ground beef and such; helps keep it from getting underneath my nails). I'm still washing my hands after taking the gloves off, but they're much easier to wash when they're not coated in fat and raw meat juices
How many people who drink alcohol can say that?
Thank you. When I was in my college days, I used to get bursts of horrible anxiety while tripping — wondering what the hell I would do if someone called me with an emergency. I got over that by realizing how many times I had been way too drunk, and would have been in the exact same predicament if someone called me with an emergency.
It helped me put a lot of perspective into it and not only stopped that anxious thought while tripping, but also created an awareness that helped me to enjoy (conscious-altering) recreations more safely
Question: I bought my phone unlocked several years ago. I have AT&T. But apparently, because I didn't buy it from AT&T, my visual voicemail refuses to work
I've tried and given up several times to fix it, and it's not a huge deal; I just miss being able to check my voicemail without calling it.
Do you happen to know anything about this? Every "fix" I've found has failed so far
I just discovered the joys of sitting to pee this past year. I just never thought about it before, and only sat to pee if I had to poop too... though I can't say I ever cared whether someone else sat or stood to pee
But I had two separate fainting spells while standing to pee after getting out of bed (orthostatic hypotension), and almost really hurt myself the second time. Now, I often sit to pee at home because it's just more comfortable (and apparently safer). Live and learn I guess
And people are testing their drugs for fentanyl now because of that hyper awareness. Public awareness, easier access to narcan, and fentanyl test strips are probably big contributors to the decrease in OD deaths
Fentanyl in weed can be a thing though. Scales used by dealers who are weighing different drugs, aren't necessarily cleaning the scale between use. Cocaine is the bigger offender in that scenario though, and can definitely lead to a way easier overdose than weed would
