Short bus has been a thing for a long while.

Yeah because itain’t the front and itain’t the back

We had Lace Bouquet:

Oh fuck I thought this was a bird’s-eye view of somebody’s head

I need to go to bed

Could watch a thousand times: Grease.

Ugh I love the smell of lantana 💚

Classic Wormantha.

Sephora has a boatload of products. $60 isn’t unheard of for some things like skincare, but a $60 highlighter is likely to be a luxury brand like Dior, Westman Atelier, Guerlain, or Prada. And the difference between those and less expensive highlighters is that you’re paying for the brand name. For $30-40 you can get a mid-tier highlighter like Nars, ABH, or Rare Beauty that will still be beautiful and probably has more product per dollar than the luxury brand does.

For example: the ABH Glow Seeker highlighter is $40 for 11 grams which equals $3.64 per gram

And the Dior Forever Glow highlighter is $60 for 6 grams which equals $10 per gram

People can spend their money how they want but personally I’d never pay $60 for a highlighter.

It looks like she’s at the store trying the tester. $60 for a highlighter is legit insane though.

It’s been a long time since I built a snow fort, but I was partial to the mason method. Of course there must be a snowball cache! Because I know my sister is lurking somewhere…

Wow! Are you interested in seeing snow in person someday, or nah?

Spidersloth, spidersloth

Ah, I see now - that’s a very good point!

If you re-read what I wrote, you’ll see that’s not at all what I’m saying. Regardless I’m done with this conversation because this:

I’m sorry to be pedantic

No you’re not.

is unnecessarily rude. Have a great day.

The person I was replying was “guaranteeing” that a 300lb person can lift at least 300lbs. I’m sure your father was strong but he was a professional gymnast. He’s an outlier. And genuinely, good for your dad - that’s great. But the vast majority of 300lb people aren’t super fit. They can’t all lift 300lbs and this is what I’m arguing. I’m not talking specifically about your dad, I’m replying to the other poster who was making a ridiculous generalization.

I’m sorry to be pedantic, but you said:

How much do you think a 300 lb person can lift? I guarantee it’s at least 300 lbs.

And I’m telling you it’s unlikely they can lift 300lbs. Deadlift, lunge, squat. Because that weight is in addition to the body weight they’re used to carrying. And even for bench, pull-up, or chin-up, they are unlikely to be able to complete even one rep because those require upper body and core strength, which are not naturally built just by dint of being obese.

I’m just saying that the average 300lb person isn’t magically super strong.

Let’s see your average 300lb person do a pull-up. Or let’s see them deadlift 300lbs.

Sure their legs will be strong from carting around all that mass, but unless they’re actively strength training, that leg strength isn’t going to be as impressive as you think.

You’re the nurse who couldn’t deal with extroverted coworkers and had to leave your job, right?

Respectfully, you should learn from that experience that your hardline introversion doesn’t serve you well in the workplace. Any manager will be more interested in preserving team dynamics than coddling a brittle individual. I don’t mean to be harsh but you need to learn a little flexibility or you’re going to run into the same problems again and again. You picked a people-facing career and chances are high that most of your colleagues will be on the extroverted side.

It’s fine to be introverted but you need to communicate your needs in a way that doesn’t alienate or offend your colleagues. It sounds like you want them to meet you where you are, rather than compromising somewhere in the middle. It won’t kill you to make a couple minutes of small talk, followed by a polite excuse as you remove yourself to be alone. You can even say something direct, like “I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m not huge on chitchat, and I have some studying I need to catch up on.” People prefer honesty to just being iced out.

You can’t expect them to respect your feelings and preferences if you’re not willing to do the same for theirs.
