Yeah when I’d “disable” my right hand I’d have to wait for the weekends or homework that involved writing wouldn’t be able to get done. You did this as an adult? That’s dedication. I think in time anyone could adapt if they had to or could afford to be low-functioning for a while but I always wonder if there’s shortcut steps to start rewiring your brain to not automatically assign tasks to your dominant hand.
I notice lefties. Im right-handed and when I was little and much dumber I wanted to be left-handed. So I did a bunch of weird shit to force it. Stuff like wrapping my right hand up for whole day, trying reverse controls for video games, wearing my watch on my right hand, etc. Some stuff did take, like the watch on my right hand, which ironically made my right hand more dominant. Being a lefty is the club that I was never able to join but think about subconsciously all the time I guess.
There’s a series of “how to politely decline your stepsister’s advances” by Ryan Creamer. I watched it with my son on Pornhub. Talk about a bonding moment.

If you don’t eat that chicken wing clean, we can’t be friends.
You get one pass and that’s if you only take 1 wing.
I remember a few years ago on the other place that starts with “R”, there were a bunch of people who were randomly sent seed packets from China. Big debate on whether they should plant them and if it would start the zombie apocalypse or not. Some planted them and it grew to be wildflowers…so far.
TLDR: seeds
Oh yes, binkying was always pure joy to watch!
Rabbits. Had them as pets throughout my childhood and I was fascinated with their behavior. Sadly, some of my knowledge came from irresponsibleness as pet stores used to sell them willy nilly without good care instructions. This was also during the dial-up modem era so there wasn’t much on the internet then either.
Here’s some things to know:
I about spit up my drink going through that trailer.
So for Gary Oldman is this role tge equivalent of like Kirk Lazarus playing Lincoln Osiris? Or Tugg Speedman playing Simple Jack? Because I just can’t decide.
Mexican pizza is my anchor menu choice - everything else is just sides. So glad they brought it back.
Mexican pizza before they take it off the menu again. Also, ask for all of the hot sauces. The workers won’t care.
Holy shit dude. These are real as fuck answers. I have done a few of these while going through hard times. 💯 on the need to project the right image into some people’s pity systems to get what you need from them. They don’t want the truth or to help you, they just want to feel good about themselves. Same for hygiene and creating the illusion of legitimacy to access resources. There’s a strategy for every level of life - and you need to know which to use once you move up or down.
This totally works. Way back in middle school I had a pretty big crush on this guy. I was shy and there was just a trickle of his interest in me, posibly imaginary, but just enough to keep me miserable. One night had a pretty long dream about us going through a whole relationship with all the misunderstandings, arguments, and realizations that come with it. Woke up super refreshed, fulfilled, and ready to move on. About a year later he asked me out and I turned him down. Felt like it’d be going back to an ex or something.
Thanks for the update OP! Although part of me always welcomes a botfly extraction video, Im glad it’s not that for your doggo.
Death ambivalence? I feel like I’ve seen that term floated somewhere.
This is what you get when fuck with the pure equation.
Benjamin Button. Every new day is an age regression event with an increasing handicap. No unlimited tries.
Yep. And bad news just sells better.
I think the 2020 election and the pandemic are largely to blame for some spiraling plummets in our feelings about our system as a whole. Both of these events caused some pretty large divides in our government, communities, and even family and friend units.
War and human suffering were already there. Corporate greed and late-stage capitalism effects were already there, as well. We’re all just critically assessing everything together at this point because some of those divides removed a security net of reliability and trust.
That kid’s gotta be around 11 or 12 now. Wonder how he’s doing.
I’ll forget all about this post in about 5-7 lemmy posts. Higher than my normal 3-4 lemmy post memory-wipe because I’m commenting.
