Have any introverted traits. It’s okay for a man to be quiet or get hyper focused on a task. That can be either taken as he’s creepy or the strong/silent type. But if a woman does this then she’s labeled as a cold uncaring bitch. Sometimes I just want to get through a task without taking 20 minutes emotionally propping someone else up as expected.
I feel you. Some of the shit I’ve cleaned up in PowerPoint hell sets my teeth on edge.
This was mostly my experience too. I don’t think the Internet itself was as big of a game changer as the advent of smart phones. My day to day didn’t change too much from a pre Internet life to a post Internet life until smart phones came along. Once everyone was able to access the Internet from their pocket is when things really changed.

This is how I feel about ads. Ads are legal psychological warfare with the sole aim of stealing your money.
I recently bought the Cat Quest trilogy. I played the first two on my switch but the third one just came out and Steam did the whole bundle at a discount so I snagged it. Been enjoying replaying the first two before I start on the new one.
Fun fact: The inside of the upper beak is where taste buds are located for parrots. Scientists are still studying to find out if this is the case for all types of birds or just some species.
That’s weird. The link should be to the Wikipedia entry but thanks for making a steam link too!
Maize, a point and click/walking simulator/puzzle game about a secret military project to create sentient corn. Quite possibly the silliest game I’ve ever played.
My first parrot Johnny. I purchased him for my husband as a surprise Valentine’s gift when we were dating/living together. While we had done our research and made sure we were ready to handle the responsibility, we were not financially in a great place at the time. My credit card was almost maxed but I made the impulse decision to call the company to get a limit increase so I could make the purchase. And while it did take me some time to get out of my young and dumb credit card debit I never once regretted getting my little turkey bird. He passed away from old age almost 2 years ago but I still miss him everyday.
I’m sort of with you on atrocious wedding photos however black and white photography is usually done to enhance the dramatic effect of an image. If it’s done well it’s amazing. One of my friends took black and white photos of my wedding without telling us and surprised us later with the photos. They were amazing and a priceless gift.
Doing the Lord’s work ❤️
I would imagine that this is for transportation of medicine that needs to be kept cold like insulin?
Story time! Back in the year of 1999 I took out a student loan for $5000. I didn’t actually need the money for that semester so I put the money directly into a CD that had like 4-5% interest on it. When I finally needed the money like 2 years later for my senior year of college, the interest on the CD had paid for the interest of the loan. More surprising I was able to fill out the loan paperwork and the CD paperwork at the same time with the help of a bank representative. These days I’ve had $4000 sitting in a rolling ladder CD for almost 8 years and barely made $200 back in interest. It’s pathetic and not really a mystery as to why people don’t bother to save money anymore.
That’s really awful that you had to experience that. You found a very valid solution to a disability that enabled you to learn and got shit for it. Shorthand is a real skill and professional shorthand is not easy to learn. I remember my mom had a professional secretary’s shorthand textbook that I used to love growing up. It was like learning another language and I did end up using some of it in school for my personal notes. Hell stenography is still a valid profession and uses it’s own form of shorthand. You are awesome and your teacher was an ass.
Holy shit that is so wrong, and I am here for it.
I work mornings in the office and drive home on lunch break to wfh the rest of the day and all my best solutions pop into my head in that drive home. It’s great because it’s a quick break from work to get the brain percolating and then I can jump right into solving mode as soon as I get home.
I’m torn about this because I have good mentors but I genuinely want to try to learn how to code and not just have the answers given to me right away. At least I’m only working on volunteer project so being slow isn’t really holding anyone else up.
I think my first late night tv adventure was seeing Akira and having absolutely no idea what was going on.
So you are asking the ladies what they can do that a man can’t? Fair enough. Other than the few answers you’ve already gotten about typical “girly” things like wearing makeup, dresses, and watching children l personally can’t think of others that would apply to me directly. Truth is I feel bad that everyone can’t dress or behave as is comfortable for them. There are guys who want to be able to wear makeup/dresses or be recognized for being real parents. And I would love to be able to be taken seriously when I speak or scratch my crotch in public. I too am interested in the answers here because being a woman doesn’t get you too many “benefits” in society that aren’t two-faced and dinegrating.
