When it comes to sugar-free soda, the only one that truly tastes good is grapefruit. The artificial sweeteners are bitter. So is grapefruit. So you don't notice the typical sweetener taste.
Great success!

No artificial anything.wagshaft - Grapefruit Ice is mah jamkaiyohtee
- You must be American. What’s wrong with pure juice? Get a grapefruit, juice it. Make some jasmine tea, cool it. Make some grass jelly. Mix all, add ice.shapesalad
- lol total bullshit that all non Americans make their own fruit juice, what a pompous crock of shit to saymonospaced

Idiot, accidental millionaire, trump-loving boomer father-in-law comes in all excited about this magical device he bought from a popup ad on publisher’s clearinghouse that claims to lower your electricity bill just by plugging it in. He bought several for over a hundred bucks.
He just can’t be left alone.

People are talking about how interracial marriage could be in danger now that Roe is repealed.
How does that make sense or logistically enforceable? Race isn't a legal thing, right?
- It's because they're bringing back slavery.palimpsest
- Maybe worried about overturning Loving v. Virginia? Is there actually a risk of that? I haven't heard anyone advocating it.monNom
- It was enforced before with racist thinking and racists want to do the same thing again. It’s not complicated.monospaced
- Americas history of institutionalized racism from day one built into our politics and government. Black people couldnt even vote that long ago. Legally.monospaced
- So race has to be protected , BY LAW, or else racist conservative cunts will suppress and repress them. Literally laws protecting race.monospaced

I have a nutty client who's last name is 'Jenkins'... every time they call right before I answer the phone I yell out their name 'Leroy Jenkins' style... my wife doesn't get it and is creeped out by the happy smile I put on my face every time I say it.

If the serving size of an edible to 1/2 the gummy, why do they make it that whole size?
- Why is a regular bottle of soda two servings?scarabin
- To have more economical packaging, gummies are basically bulk weightdrgs

My dog is very old now. Pushing 18. I git him when he was 4. He’s very white in the face and weak has had at least one seizure that has left him with poor balance on top of the arthritis. He’s mostly deaf. He sleeps a lot during the day, restless at night. I carry him upstairs, downstairs, outside all over.
But there are moments when he is suddenly a puppy again, like when I suddenly shuffle my feet like we’re about to play and he does a little twirly dance. Or he tells me he wants to go outside and he bounds around awkwardly with excitement. Treats too, even when im hiding his medicine in them.
Yesterday after my girlfriend took her dog out to pee before she left for work I found him sleeping next to my leg, which had been dangling over the bed. He wasn’t always cuddly with me because he’s a prideful boy but this late in life it’s like he’s gotten over something and wants to be close to me. I noticed that he watches my fingers all the time for the wiggle sign that a massage is on offer.
When I am alone with him back at my place I lie awake and read about how to be a good for him and what I can do to make him comfortable. Then I start weeping like an abandoned child, like I have already lost him. I visualize what it will be like. Will I find him? Will the vet do it? It’s like I’m trying to prepare myself for the time when I have to hold in my screams when I can see the light has left.
I’m having a hard time with this.

- ^ He lost his doggy too.shapesalad
- When and if you come to the hard decision of having to help his life come to an end, I would try and find a vet that comes to your home. We did it with our 17yrwordssssss
- old and him being in his space with people he knew loved him was the only way I could see doing it. The coldness of a vets office was too removed from the lifewordssssss
- he lived. Hope it out works for you and your bud.wordssssss
- Stay strong********
- :( here's a native teaching that helped me when my pup got sick. "It's our responsibility to give them an easy life and an easy death." lots of cuddles.sea_sea
- :( Just a tip...if you do ever need to help him over the rainbow bridge...get the vet to come to your home.BusterBoy
- I took my cat to them and the poor thing spent his last moments pretty scared. At least at home they are in a familiar environment.BusterBoy

- laser eye surgery before yoga teacher trainingpango
- +1 for Mardi GrasSimonFFM
- I am too old for laser eye surgery. For many years now at eye tests I have discussd them wth the optician and asked them if they would have it ...comicsans
- done to themselves. Not one said yes. Nobody has thought the risk/benefit worthwhile. Ineed one optician said their lecturer on the topic wore glasses...comicsans
- and got defensive when quizzed on this. You get one pair of eyes, risking them for a cosmetic procedure is just fucking stupid. Doing it on the cheap doubly so.comicsans
- them with -> this with, Ineed -> Indeedcomicsans
- Also your eyes continue to age. At some point in your 40s/50s you'll need specs anyway. (I'll stop now.)comicsans
- im with comicsans on this. a friend had his eyes lasered about 10 years ago, still needs drops and blinks way too often and in a very emphasised way.microkorg
- I'm getting SMILE, not Lasik. Doesn't have the same dry eye problem. Next gen laser eyes!sarahfailin

Our culture has such a strong bias toward whitecollar work. People who work in the trades or service industry are looked down upon and it’s really a shame, especially when considering that a huge portion of whitecollar jobs are “bs jobs”.
- you meant blue-collar?pango
- maybe you don't see colourspango
- Oh look me narrowest mind in the world had another shallow af thoughtmonospaced
- Do you know what “bias toward” means? Or white collar? I don’t think you have a goddamn clue.monospaced
- We value white collar jobs because at the top, they wine dine and bark orders, no exertion, take the biggest cut of the cake. So of course we all want that.shapesalad

After finishing making a Spanish chickpea stew earlier, I sat out on the front stoop to have a quick smoke before eating.
In front of me was a parking space as wide as an ocean liner, and in came a Fiat 55, which tried to reverse park in to it.
The first attempt was a disaster. The driver looked at me and I shook my head sadly. 'No, my friend'. He pulled out and tried again, and failed. We didn't match eyes this time.
He tried again, and somehow - unbelievably - failed again.
He looked up at me for the ever slightest pico-second, and then drove off, to try somewhere else.
Sorry, my friiend.
It really was a huge space tho.

Do you ever go smartphone-free for extended periods of time? What's your experience?
I'd miss:

Form groups of four, discuss
Sorry for double vid post, but relevant ↓
