Washington state is the best, most beautiful place in the country.

Where are his lips?

I’m hard of hearing, but only in the last ~8 years and I didn’t realize how much I’ve come to rely on lip reading to supplement my loss of hearing. I was watching people on YouTube and I couldn’t understand them because it was quiet so I started watching and realized they were speaking French and how that made it so I couldn’t understand them at all because I don’t know French lip reading even though I can understand spoken French fairly well. But yes some people just can’t speak louder for some reason

On the Internet no one knows you’re a dog

I feel like basically everything? I look like a petite pumpkin spice white girl but my taste in music, media, clothing, hobbies etc are typically not what my demographic is into, or I’m super into it like fashion and tend to dress “too nicely” (as if that’s possible) which I think also makes people raise an eyebrow when they hear I listen to metal or I’m a basshead, I’m a gamer and have been one for over twenty years, I’m into cars, I love mechanical stuff in general, I like getting my hands dirty and enjoy things like manual labor, I’m always doing yard work. Other weird stuff like my health history is bonkers, but that doesn’t come up as often unless they ask me directly or ask about my scars. People always seem surprised I’m smart but don’t tell me that upfront lol I’m just a good case of “don’t judge a book by its cover” I guess

Yep! It’s one of the surgeries that seem to just work. I had mine done at 14 and it’s been fantastic. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone ever say it wasn’t worth it. I love when medicine just works

I’ve had over a dozen sinus surgeries cause I have cystic fibrosis and I’m pediatric size so all the passages needed to be widened but the deviated septum was a HUGE improvement the only other one that came close was when they opened the back passage connecting my nose to my mouth

“Sounds nice” is such a weird thing to say when someone says they’re disabled

Maybe, that’s one possibility. I was like this because I never entered deep wave sleep because of PTSD, normal stress can do that too, not all sleep is equal it doesn’t require you to be doing anything wrong to get bad sleep

Most Americans get significantly more protein than they need, men by ~30% and women by ~15%. Even if you look at the new wildly unscientific federal guidelines saying to get more protein (this is a top down “problem”) Americans tend to still get more than that, but it is closer. A huge problem is the over reliance on animal proteins causing the other issues and the huge lack of fiber Americans struggle with.

I killed my several hundred thousand comment and several hundred thousand post karma decade old account when they killed Apollo

I’m post lung transplant and doing a lot better but I still haven’t gotten over having to shoulder so much when I shouldn’t have had to

Refused to acknowledge cystic fibrosis is actually a real difficult struggle that I needed help and support with

Belgian waffles, as easy as regular waffles but you whip the whites and fold them in so they’re delicious and fluffy

Sounds like making a potato in an air fryer is exactly the same difficulty as any other method except microwaving.

If your wife won’t fuck you try being more likable

Women don’t fuck people they don’t like

Isn’t it an onomatopoeia? It’s based on the sound “fap fap fap”

I shop almost exclusively at Costco or a local co-op because all the stuff on the regular grocery store (always some version of Kroger) shelves is usually right at its sell date or very close, this is new in my area, things that used to have 6 - 8 months of shelf stable time pantry goods have a month left when I see them in the store, which defeats the purpose of me keeping a deep pantry. So I do less bargain shopping and just do big Costco runs when I can and get fresh stuff at the co-op in between

At least bread you can eyeball once you get enough practice at a specific recipe, a lot of it is about the moisture content which changes in the air from day to day so it’s never precise anyway

I own this stuff, I buy it at Costco, I don’t even think I could spray it for 1/4th a second it’s not got a very precise nozzle. There’s also a huge difference, literally magnitudes, between 1/4th of a second and a few seconds over a pan. I use cooking spray pretty regularly and have a few applications like my ornate Nordic wear pans where a bottle of oil would not work well and it would be nice to know what I’m adding to my food but I chalk it up to the caloric cost of cooking

It was never funny and the only people who thought so were those who were too privileged to see it for what it was
