I have a similar story! My family was having a reunion at a restaurant but some people didn’t know how to get to the restaurant (before GPS or mapquest), so my dad told them to follow him in their cars. My dad was driving in the first car and there were like 3 other cars behind us with family. As were driving on the highway my dad dumps a bag of pistachio shells out the window (idk where he got the bag from) and pelts all my family’s cars. It was so funny when we got to the restaurant and all the cars behind us were super confused about the pistachio shells.

So if you are in school or going back to school for psychology then I recommend just focusing on your degree and maybe take elective classes in your side interests when you have time. I didn’t study psychology but my major was really labor intensive and I needed all the time I could to study and work on projects. However, I did take a fun forensics class as an elective that is still one of my all time favorite classes since I loved CSI.

After you graduate and get a steady job, you’ll have more time to focus on your interests. I schedule out my week and take classes at a local school after work in things that interest me. Then weekends I dedicate to family/friend time. I also watch YouTube videos in my free time.

As many people have mentioned kids, its good to note that I don’t have kids at this time. I plan to have kids in the future and am aware that my night classes will have to end when I do. However that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make because I really want kids. I just hope that one day I’ll be able to share my hobbies with future kids or enjoy what hobbies they are interested in.

I think the problem is the girl not you. If you asked her politely, she said no, and then you backed down, there is no reason for her to bad mouth you to friends. I could understand maybe asking one trusted person for advice but spreading rumors through a friend group is a serious issue. Not just the girl but also the friends spreading the rumor. I think a lot of people are really bad at communicating and it leads to more issues. If she had simply talked to you about how she felt, I’m sure you both could have worked through it.

I’ve been dealing with my 85 year old uncle who recent fell and broke his hip again. I’ve learned the following:

1. Physical exercise is important! My uncle could barely walk before, which is probably why he fell. While he was in the hospital he physically could not sit up on his own (no upper body strength) and now cant lift himself into/out of his wheelchair. I’ve decided to start working out more and focus on strength.

2. Listen to your doctors!! After he broke his hip the first time, he refused to do physical therapy and would not use his cane. It’s obvious that both of these things would have helped prevent him from falling the second time.

3. Be kind to the people around you! My uncle is narcissistic and insults friends/family when he gets comfortable with them. This meant that for most of his stay in the hospital, I was the only person who visited.

This is a pretty cool article that shows paintings from the time periods: https://artsandculture.google.com/story/the-high-life-a-history-of-men-in-heels/iQJCgMgwSKV5Kw

TLDR: Men wore heels to signify military prowess since they were used by solders to keep their feet in stirrups. However, by the early 18th Century, their adoption by women made them seem feminine and they started to fall out of favor in men.

A friend recently made me black coffee with a little honey and it was excellent. There was only enough honey to take the bitter edge off the coffee without getting too sweet. Although my friend did use some high quality beans I wouldnt normally use so I’m not sure it will work on the cheap stuff most commercial places use.

This reminds me! At work we often send emails to customers through our ticket system so they are recorded. A new guy got a pop-up asking if he wanted to send the email. He looks at me and says “What do I do?” I say “Well you have 2 options: Yes to send the email or Cancel.” He clicks Cancel and is then confused the email never sent. He quit a few days later which honestly was better for all of us.

I always hear this kind of advice from people who are in relationships for all the wrong reasons.

I have a Samsung and have it set to light up the screen but it’s not the same as that LED. I used to be able to set the LED color for messages from certain people. Ex: Blue was a friend, Red was mom. The LED would also stay that color until I read the message where as the current screen color only lights up for a few seconds (unless there is a setting I’m missing).

My cleaner just moves stuff to the side, cleans that area and slides them back. So at most it’s like a few inches from where it was before or in the same general area. We have a really sweet lady come once a month and it’s so nice to not worry about doing deep cleans. I do basic cleaning in between if stuff gets really dirty.

My family says your an adult the day you enjoy buying adult things. I just recently bought some good knives and glass food storage containers. I was super excited when they arrived. Video games and other fun things are exciting to buy myself but some good knives were next level.

I think the problem is that no one can agree on what makes the world shitty. Some people think the rich should be taxed, some people think other people shouldn’t have equal rights. And then other people are purposely using the disagreement to get what they want. It’s a mess with no clear fix in sight.

Alcoholic drinks, for a good part of history, were safer to drink than water because its production includes a boiling step that kills bacteria. We know now that you have to boil or treat water before drinking but for most of history alcohol was safer.

I reply all to all work related emails because people will add someone who needs to be aware of what’s happening and I may not realize this is important to them. If they don’t want to be on the email they can ask me personally and I’ll take them off the chain.

I never reply all (or at all) to company update posts (e.g. new hires/promotions/other bs). If you want to congratulate them do it privately. The whole company doesn’t care.

I think a normal measuring tape could work. I went to a place and they measured my chest above/below my breasts and then across the center and lower part of my breasts. The issue is the cost for premium bras are often out of the price range for most people.

I accidentally overdosed on acetaminophen after a surgery once. Doctor forgot to tell me (or I was still high when he told me) he gave me acetaminophen during/after the surgery. I thought I still could take up to 4g that day. A few hours after the surgery, the pain started to kick in so I took some acetaminophen. Ended up vomiting uncontrollably.

Yes, becuse in my family, all the older family members make him real for the younger kids. We actively work together to make Christmas a magical time by telling stories and staying up late to put out presents. I know that Santa is not a real person but I believe I can keep his “spirit alive” by giving heartfelt presents and spending quality time with my family.

I personally am atheist but I will admit that many religions have good teachings. I don’t believe in the gods from those religions but I can follow the guidelines to living a good life.

I think this is a good idea but I would still like a quick explanation in each video (example: “were going to dice like this but more info can be found in the description”). I honestly may not have the time to watch the complete technique video in the moment but may go back for the next time.

Things I would like to know:

1. How to cut veggies properly. This could be on a per recipe basis like “in this recipe we will dice onions, here’s how”. I’ve been cooking for years but sometimes I get tripped up on what’s best for the veggies in that specific recipe and I just guess.
2. When to add things to the pan and how long to cook/what temp before adding more stuff. I feel like other cooking shows don’t explain that some things need to cook longer than others.
3. Explain mixing things to get the right flavor, for example this is salty so we add sweet/acidic. I feel like this is probably super important and why my food always tastes off.
4. I have health issues with my intestines and am super sensitive to grease. Too much oil/butter and I’ll be sick. So I personally would like to know ways to cook with less oil/butter but still taste good. Or maybe ways to use the oil in food already (I’m thinking ground beef/bacon) so you don’t add more (I have no idea if this is possible just an idea in case it is).

Yea for me “pretty good” is an estimate around good. Like using -ish. I don’t want to say it was good but it was around good.
