Mine too, but most people think it's Power Rangers.

Being lucky all the time would be cool. The only time I can think it might be a hindrance would be at a casino because they'd think I'm cheating but I don't gamble so it doesn't matter I guess.

My coworker does this too. Videos, messages, his fucking doorbell. I work from home now so it can't bother me anymore, but idk how our boss can stand being in the same room as him.

He was playing a video during a teams meeting the other day and everyone could hear it. He didn't stop when called out on it (boss wasn't there that day), and the person leading the meeting literally said, "how does he keep getting unmuted?"

Hard disagree. Some languages are so wildly different that it would be really hard to confuse them like that. Like where the grammar structure is different so it's not like you're just substituting a word in one language for a word in another.

It seems much more popular in the states but seems to be getting some good traction in Canada now. I went on a little disc golf road trip in BC and there are actually some pretty good guerilla courses out there that people have clearly put a lot of work into.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but that's not really how proper piercing works. I think what you're explaining is what a place like Claire's would do, use a thicker earring in a piercing gun to push the surrounding flesh out of the way in order to make a hole.

A piercing studio uses a hollow needle inserted by hand, so it goes in gently and easily and the flesh in the hole is actually removed since it's inside the needle now. Then the earring is inserted afterwards. It's far less traumatizing to the body this way.

As someone who has a lot of piercings, I suggest sticking with 1.2mm and up, for stability. Cheese cutter effect is a real concern, and may or may not be able to be fixed by repiercing.

I'm actually looking for cute jewelry for my mom because she was complaining about how the posts on "regular" earrings were so thin, but she doesn't know how to shop for legit piercing jewelry.

I would say it's riskier to stay at less than 1mm as it's so thin that it's more likely to just rip out your ear if it gets caught on hair or clothing. There isn't really a risk in switching between different thicknesses, just be careful when stretching to a bigger size so you don't harm your piercing.

Why should someone be obligated to live as long as they can, at the expense of their quality of life?

I have a friend with a terminal illness who opted for MAID. I'm so thankful that option was available because he was in so much pain at the end. It makes a huge difference to be able to choose a dignified death, surrounded by people you love and who love you.

I have absolutely no idea. I'm the youngest person in the family and everyone thinks of me as the baby. So no one ever told me what the beef is with this one family in the tree, but I know no one talks to them.

Can confirm. I generally prefer the comfort of holding a real book but e-readers are a godsend for blackouts and vacations.

I am absolutely not telling my parents how late I stayed up last night. They're not even in the country but I don't need to feel them judging me from over there.
