It's been years since I looked at it, but there's videos on YouTube showing just how awful most "self defense" techniques are. Sure, it's great as long as you're prepared and it's a predictable attack by someone who knows the routine and cooperates.

This has been a pet peeve of mine for years, but I've never voiced it because I didn't feel like taking on the "you're an idiot" stares.

But seriously, I drink a diet soda and I'm supposed to feel shitty because "soda is bad" while someone chugs a sugary glass of juice and that's supposed to be healthier? Can I compromise and drink a Fresca? Lol

"Weaponed discomfort" describes this perfectly lol. It's a skill my family members tend to apply to each other.

As a massage therapist, I'm also willing to accept "human primate social groomer" over "body toucher." Not sure that potential clients would appreciate that much more though 😕.

Lol when my kids were little we had cats, and I wanted to make sure they had options to get in and out of some rooms to get a break from the kids. I made something similar with 2 small eye hooks and a 4" double ended brass snap.

It needs oil. Oil will break down the adhesive and shouldn't be hard to clean off of a sealed/finished surface. I've used anything from a few drops of cooking oil to peanut butter (doesn't run!) and let it sit. Depending on the adhesive it could take minutes or hours, but typically makes removal much easier.

Not when Cook County did it in Illinois. Zero sugar/artificially sweetened drinks were taxed at the higher rate, yet sugary fruit juices got a pass. I live on the border of Cook and Will county, so I just shopped at grocery stores outside the country. I'm not sure how long it was in effect, but they ended up cancelling it.

LMAO - I haven't seen anyone do that before. Everything after the ? is for site tracking info, so you can remove it. There was a post about it sometime in the last couple weeks that gave examples and where to chop it off to not offer more tracking info.

After the birth of my first child I ended up with a hemorrhoid. Truth be told, I was scared shitless to touch anything down there for a couple days after the trauma. They had given me a squishy bottle to rinse myself while everything recovered. Warm water from the tap was heavenly lol.

I've only been to CFA a few times, but even with lines wrapped around the building I don't think I've ever waited longer than 10 minutes. Burger King is regularly that long of a wait and I was actually stuck waiting 20 minutes at McDonald's last week (they asked me to pull up and pretty sure they forgot about me.) I try to plan ahead and not rely so much on fast food, but as much time as I spend in my car driving for work, I'm usually stopping somewhere 1-2x a week.

Overall? It's poorly drawn. Occasionally you might come across a random "deep" toilet design, but most are much lower. As long as it's deep enough so that my poop is submerged so I don't have to smell it waiting to flush, I'm satisfied.
