I sometimes have medium length nails (3-5 mm past the fingertip), though I tend to just grow my own out, and I do it entirely for myself. I have a bunch of different kinds of nail polish and stencils for making cool patterns and it satisfies my inner elementary school librarian urge to dress up for even very minor holidays.

People have come up to me and told me that my nails are too long for them to find attractive, which is a bizarre non sequitur imo. I don’t know why the assumption is that any self-decoration is intended as a sexual signal: my ideal nail-based interaction is that a little kid asks about them and I get to tell them about Arbor Day or national soup day or something.

Sometimes they make life more difficult, and then I either find workarounds (opening pull tabs with a spoon, for example) or cut them, depending on how much time I have and how much I like my current nails.

I get that they’re not for everyone, but I like them, so I wear them. It’s okay if others don’t like them, they don’t have to wear them.

Deadass basically means “really”

My dad leaves the shell fully on as a stand-alone appetizer of grilled shrimp, so the shrimp is entirely covered in shell. It took until the third time my ex had dinner there for him to ask why the shrimp was so crunchy and for me to realize I’d forgotten to warn him.

Thank you for this. I just stumbled here from all, and I know nothing about gaming or any other context, except for news stories about blizzard, for example. When I read the name, my first thought was wondering if they’re cool with a woman as a boss (I’m not trying to be shitty, just with the blizzard fiasco, that’s where my mind went). I’m really glad I’m not leaving this story with that assumption in place

I said Schmierkampagne in real life yesterday.

I’m a native English speaker and Zangendeutsch is ruining me.

Dollar store philosopher king

The words “I have concepts of a plan” are still ringing in my head. I cannot conceive of intentionally saying something so profoundly useless. I found that shocking, but I try to watch him speak as little as I can. They work with him every day and should not be shocked by this.

If it’s just general media within media, that Ben folds five ass crack bandit song was fucking killer

Friendlys does! Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, we “cleaned” them by letting them sit in seltzer and then wiping them off before reattaching them. I’m only now realizing that we went to so much effort to do that, but using the same sanitizer as the soft serve machines would have been significantly more effective and easier.

It at least keeps things like black mold or giant bacterial colonies from getting hold, but it’s kind of pointless.

Is the hexagon a reference to something from a fantasy universe (I know it’s a reference to the pentagon in our world)?

nice

Tbh, I know I’m standing on the shoulders of giants here, but if you unexpectedly kidnap someone way more valuable than expected, you should always just kill them and drop the ransom request

That’s absolutely relevant, lol. I forgot the topic

On the one hand yes, on the other hand, destroying information is akin to wasting food

D:

My ex was not noticeably sad about it, but I felt awful for him because of his GERD. He had to stop eating for the day at around 17:00, he couldn’t have caffeine, alcohol, carbonation, anything acidic, capsaicin, or much fat. His mother was from southern Italy and he hadn’t eaten a tomato in more than a decade, and the only fruit he ate was bananas. He was not big on medication, though, so he considered all that to be a good trade off for not taking meds. I can’t imagine making the same choice if a medicine could allow me to have oranges and tomatoes and coffee, but different strokes I guess

What is up with that article? The first several paragraphs only talk about Libya, lol. Was it written by the publicity department of Libya?

Bonus points if the death could have been easily avoided, had the character been a mage.

It is like flammable and inflammable then?

I moved to Germany and the only products I’ve requested from visitors are better than bouillon and molasses.
