    Any time there's a pop culture reference like movies, I mess it up.

  • Retail employees of Lemmy, how has working in a clothing store changed your perspective on clothing sizes and body image?

    I'm not in retail anymore, and I never did clothing retail, but working in theater costuming has really changed my ideas. Like, I know I am fat because at my height and weight my bmi puts me well in obese territory. But measuring people a few inches taller has put an interesting spin in my head. I know someone with the same bust size who is three inches taller and now I understand why some "large" sizes will fit both of us even though by size my cup is several sizes larger than her.

    People have been telling me for years that I'm "not fat". I know they are delusional because of the numbers, but seeing other people with similar measurements does actually put it into perspective.

    That "all queens are American" vibe

    Edit: Jesus H Christ the queens on the article are criticizing the dumb bitch who endorsed him! Santino Rice doesn't matter anymore y'all! We knew he was toxic ages ago!

    I took a philosophy class in college with a really interesting concept. We read a book about philosophies around the world, then choose one and created a d&d character from what we learned and researched on a specific philosophy. It was pretty chaotic to play d&d at the end, but it was such a great way to learn the real world applications of various philosophies.

    One of mine gets super upset if she isn't touching me. Unless she's hungry, and then she tries to make me super upset. Lol. I guess the lesson in that is "make sure the cat is well fed before embarking on a journey".

    I have a professor that refuses to carry a cellphone let alone a smart phone. He's genX but that has nothing to do with why. It's because he's autistic.

    He's a brilliant chemist, and he's really good at a few other things like building bikes from scratch or using archaic programming languages. But cell phones would just complicate his life and he sees no point in them. If you didn't know the man you'd probably suspicious from what's on paper. But he's like the least dangerous human on earth, he's just super fucking dorky lol.

    Stumbled in from /All. It's been a long while since I had a reptile, but I remember that I would soak my boy in warm water if I was worried he was backed up. Lizard turds are usually white tipped black/brown blobs, so it might be a good idea to give your lizard a shallow warm bath to soak in

    Can I DIY water backwashing through my basement drain?

    Essentially any large flush through my house (washer, shower) has started coming up through my basement drain in the floor. I bought this house two years ago for full price and already am 20k deep in hidden repairs (all from basement flooding, yayy). I can explain if I need to, but I really just don't have extra funds to put to this after the others. I'm thinking I can't bathe with more than a gallon of water and not wash dishes or clothing until I can fix it. Edit: Thank you for all the comments. I'll hire a plumber.

    I had used the Ace Date Space discord with limited success, but now that it's dissolved I don't know where to look.
