It’s different for everyone, but I was always put off by kids for all the typical reasons (boring, sticky, annoying, etc.), until I got pregnant.

I don’t mean that I love my kid so it’s different. I mean that the hormones associated with pregnancy changed all of my priorities. Thank god I had an abortion (I’d have a preteen with an alcoholic father and me for a mother- that’s not fair to a child), but it was much more difficult than I expected it to be.

With the pregnancy hormones, I definitely would have cried at this ad. Congratulations to them for emotionally manipulating the most emotionally unstable group in the world?

I think I was supposed to be inspired, but I’m very worried about everyone’s placement of “moon”

I can’t read the subtitle (flavor text?) and I don’t know if that’s part of it

Sausage bouillon, please.

That community doesn’t have any posts, what map is it?

Good

I was certain he was just really joyless about Cars

What’s your ideal day off look like?

What does fat mean? I have a BMI of about 22, which isn’t overweight, but I have also been healthy with less fat on my body and I can pinch my stomach or thigh, so there is subcutaneous fat.

I ask because my gallbladder hates it when I eat fatty foods, so other than a handful of peanuts or a couple tablespoons of oil or sauce, I can’t actually eat much fat. Can I just eat a lot more other food?

What is a shitpost but bait that you admit is bait?

That grammar evolves naturally, like species do, so any rules we find for the categorization of either should reflect reality, not try to dictate it.

For example, I just started that bit with a clause, which means it’s a fragment, not a sentence. I still put a period at the end of it and started it without any lead in, which is “wrong,” but it’s more that the rule is wrong, because what I wrote plays the role of a sentence in this case.

Hm, I wonder if that’s related to German “Loch,” with the same meaning?

It really is. I’ve asked all of the immigrants I know if there’s a word for “end of shift” and an accompanying common greeting in their language, but so far, nobody except Germans does it.

In Germany, people wish you a happy close as a business, or a happy end of shift. Every time I work nights, I wish customers a happy close of business 🤦
