Cool cool. Ferengi have infiltrated earth.

I’ve never been aware of my gender while dreaming unless it wasn’t a PG dream

9-5 doesn’t include unpaid lunch break. Do you eat at your desk while working?

I never have used detergent for colored clothes.

Apparently not specific enough: I use clothes detergent for all my clothes, but not detergent for colored clothes, I use regular clothes detergent for all my clothes

Not sure if you noticed women’s pants are significantly tighter and more form fitting than men’s. They also tend to be thinner and stretchier to accommodate, and therefore usually wear out faster and are not as good in cold weather.

Pretty sure throughout history most (if not all) generations have worked to give their kids a better (if not approximately equal) quality of life to their own. That isn’t feasible for many people, and older generations are frustrated that it wasn’t/isn’t feasible for many who are currently young adults. That, along with the ability to control if you have kids, makes the choice for many of us. Why would you choose to have kids if their lives are worse than your own and you don’t enjoy your own?

Generally if women wear something, men will avoid it to not appear affeminate. Increasingly so throughout history as fashion is incorporated into gender roles.

It’s totally unfair to judge humanity on just one pandemic when people refuse to wear masks and quarantine. We should also look at the 1918 pandemic.

Came here for this

Drink croutons

This is, in large, why emotional support animals exist.

Depending on the cause:

Massage neck/stretch (if you have been at a computer/desk/reading for a while)

Drink water (2 glasses) and eat a snack with complex carbs and protein (if you aren’t great at eating healthy regularly or drinking enough regularly)

Go for a walk or do cardio and get fresh air (sometimes your body gets angry you haven’t moved enough. Also causes mood issues in some cases)

Take a nap (have you gotten enough sleep? Lack of sleep causes a pile of issues)

Have tea (caffeine and hydration help sometimes)

How are you emotionally? Sometimes having strong emotions can be draining and you need extra sleep and sometimes need to do cardio to use cortisol in a healthy way. Working through the emotions is also very important; figure out why you are feeling the way you are, what (if anything) can you do to respond to the situation (responding to others, altering where you are in relation to the problem, directly addressing the problem). Keeping and processing some (high energy or negative) emotions can cause you to have headaches. Cardio helps drain the energy otherwise spent experiencing the emotions for extended periods of time so you can process them faster.

Seems like that were a single day late and it shouldn’t significantly affect the delivery date. I couldn’t worry about it until the 26th. They might have had a rough day in the shipping warehouse.

People keep saying “looks nice” but I want to be more specific in that different people think different clothes look nice. Some think business casual should be standard unless you are a laborer and prefer those. Some prefer very casual t-shirts and jeans, or sometimes jeans of a specific style, usually as long as they are clean and not stained. There are a ton of different styles you can choose from. I would suggest that overall most people prefer no stains and smelling nice (very light cologne, or even just scented laundry soap), and clothes that are not too big or too small. The area where you live probably has specific taste/style, and you can look at others wear to determine what you think will work for you. You can also try on a bunch of styles and see what feels good and what you think looks good on your body specifically.

I also want to say that, regardless of how you look, try and be a well rounded person. Look for a social group that you enjoy being in, stay in shape, learn to care for yourself and others (like cooking and cleaning, this can go a long way in attractiveness). Although some relationships start by one person they can help the other, either with money or emotional support, those are not often stable nor healthy relationships. If you are in a healthy place by yourself, you can develope better relationships.

Exercise and processing emotion without letting yourself explode from it. Then, assess how you felt and determine how to avoid the situation in the future. If possible, talk to the person or people who you would like to build a better, healthier relationship with. Or, leave that portion of your life if possible, if it is truly toxic.

I would argue I can be romantically attracted to people but sexually I want specific things, and they don’t necessarily overlap.

Romantic boob fondling is nice, but I don’t need them for sexual attraction. Penises are sexually nice but I’m not romantically attracted to them. That’s to say, I’m explicitly sexually attracted to penises.

Luckily, I find multiple things romantically and sexually attractive, not just boobs and penises (which would really limit my options).

I am not always romantically and sexually attracted to the same person. Some people I’m only sexually attracted to and some people I’m only romantically attracted to.

That is the best thing I’ve read all day. 10/10 personal ad

I would not consider that divisive, I would say I need to do better. But also, we all have life to learn and some knowledge travels faster than others. Please don’t change.

I’ve never seen/heard the 2 before, what is the 2?

I don’t think ultrasonic cleaning is sanitizing. It essentially shakes the thing so that dust and dirt falls off, at least for solid things. It can break up cells (living or otherwise) by shaking them aggressively and breaking them apart; I believe there is an ultrasonic fat reduction technique that utilizes this, where the subdermal fat breaks down and the components and broken cells can be reabsorbed.

Ultrasonic cleaning devices usually use water as a medium to transfer the vibration to whatever it is you are trying to clean. If you, for example, put a pot roast with all the juices in an ultrasonic cleaner, it would probably break down and eventually turn to mush, from the outside in, likely breaking down softer material first such as any vegetables it was cooked with.

UV light would not have effect on the physical form, and would likely not have any effect on a cooked/already sanitized item, at least not for the shorter periods of time we use for sanitizing. UV is usually only surface deep though. If you were to n use it on yogurt, the bacteria exposed would die and the coagulated proteins may start to break down. If you were to expose something to UV for a long time, such as fruit or vegetables over a month at room temperature, they wouldn’t have the opportunity to mold or be broken down in the same way. I expect they would either colonize something more capable of living in the UV exposure which would aid their break down, or they would just dehydrated into a rock.
