Now that is a good shower thought!

I'm someone who builds up earwax easily, leading to infections.

For the last decade, I've been regularly scraping it out with metal spoons. I'm even used to accidentally tapping my ear drum.

Last time I was at my doctors he commented (to the intern in training) that my ear canals are well sloped and naturally clean themselves, and I corrected him. Glad to know he didn't observe damage I've been causing.

A terrible publication and source.

Love a vague headline that tells me nothing about how to think.

Edit: I meant but about how to think, oh well.

Fascists always eat each other.

The paradox of tolerance.

You cannot tolerate those who will not tolerate others. Those acting in bad faith will always work to tear down.

Hour by hour, my job evolved from taking calls from clients who owed us money, to then answering questions from agents who weren't as skilled at it as I was.

In the process of being promoted, I was asked to join a daily meeting of over 100 people talking about the issues affecting our department.

Once in a great while, something came up in that meeting that gave me the heads up to prevent chaos in our department and stress to members.

There's a whole shitload of cogs turning in modern corporations. There's also a huge danger of people leaving and nobody understanding why the cogs are there.

I don't know the why but the first thing I said when I found out was "Polonium".

When I was in my mid 30s, a cute young 24 year old online started hitting on me.

Turned out she had three kids with three different dads and the most recent one was in jail for domestic abuse.

I still almost went for it though. Problem is my life was in the shitter and couldn't even afford to fly down or for her up to see me.

We were 'together' for about six months when I wised up and broke it off.

Fiscal responsibility always means "They're not doing what I want."

My personal hope is that we get to see Sacha Baron Cohen's Mephisto next season and Muse comes back with the comic book powers.

A spritz of water across the beans before grinding helps prevent that static.

I read that tip on here but only implemented it after my wife complained about all the stray coffee grounds.

My Dad is a Buddhist, so I have some knowledge and respect for that philosophy/faith.

But yes, he was a hippy too.

And I think he would agree that this question is poorly formed at least. But then I've never heard my Dad talk about chakras either.

There is a !Buddhism@lemmy.world community.

Probably a lottery where the winner was predetermined.

No, Luke was in a background ad in Times Square. He's still around and doing what he was at the end of Luke Cage season 2.

I'd love to see that and will be disappointed if we don't see 'em all, but I like to keep my expectations... realistic?

I'm 50 and fairly set in my ways.

My wife and I took in a trans person in need almost a year ago.

I'd never known a trans person before, not personally. It took me maybe two weeks to get used to pronouns. Now it's second nature.

You're nothing but a fucking bigot if you can't try to change just a little bit to make others comfortable.

To keep making this an issue just makes it even clearer. You aren't interested in being inclusive. You refuse to try. Fuck off and retire, Carville.

Daylast, primarily to screw up that stupid "Day ending in a y" joke.

Even on reddit I'd get replies to years old comments. I remember one user watching Breaking Bad and reading the old response threads and engaging with me from there.

I don't mind at all, especially as I'm trying to be uplifting with my comments.
