Similar to above commenter, I’m just flinging poo, but

Those who are trained in the tougher situations are, I imagine, more desensitized and therefore don’t do the egads! sort of gasp. I imagine they probably don’t necessarily need to rely on that burst of air because they’ll take a purposeful deep breath before heading into the fray.

That being said, I think professionals do still gasp. It’s probably just not something one’s brain really catches onto. But it is a startle reflex - so if a surgeon is squirted in the face with blood, if there’s a close call with a firefighter, if a cop walks up to a car and has a gun out under their chin… I imagine each of these will get a little gasp at the very least.

I don’t really listen to podcasts often, but when I do they’re usually radio play, types. So I’ll absolutely start at the beginning.

For others that have topics that are done in pieces, like for Last Podcast on the Left, I’ll just usually scroll until I find something that sounds interesting. I absolutely love their Black Plague episodes, or The Donner Party ones.

Ehhh to be honest, I’ve gotten a little too comfortable on the other days of the week just slacking off, so I’m hoping my brain will let me power through at least a few items today so I don’t look like I’m doing nothing.

My work does 4x10s so most people choose to have Fridays off instead of Mondays, which means it’s extra quiet on Fridays. Great for productivity.

That isn’t a crayfish. That’s a mini lobster.

Not at all unreasonable.

If it’s within your means, could y’all take a long trip out that way? I can’t at all imagine what the draw is to rural Wyoming. It’s hot as hell and dryer than an oven in summer, and it’s insanely windy and cold in the winter. Maybe go take a week during each season and get an idea. I’m sure there are some ranchers out there that would hire a temporary farmhand as well.

Good luck.

Vietnam. Brazil. Ecuador. A lot of equatorial places.

The orange color is caused by something happening to the chlorophyll when the temperatures cool. But in the tropics, temps can be fairly steadily warm and don’t trigger that reaction.

But aren’t oranges actually green?

*Not a joke, btw. Oranges grown in tropical places are green.

Oh absolutely.

If I’m writing, my face usually contorts to the part I’m on. If a character is sleepy, I yawn, if they’re mad, I snarl, if they’re sad, I’ll pout.

Otherwise, often my intrusive thoughts win. To be fair, my anxiety meds sometimes kick up and “activate” as my psych calls it, which makes me entirely manic and unable to hold onto that impulse control.

When I was younger, I believed that if a woman was raped, it was her fault for what she was wearing. My highschool friends called me the most unempathetic person they’d ever met and I was proud of that.

Thankfully I’ve turned right around on all that and learned empathy. I’m ashamed for my younger self, but I know they were just doing the best they could with the very few tools they were given.

I think that might be part of it. For a lot of people, it was that the formula was old and tired. I know Odyssey did fairly well, but it’s still just an AC game

My dad is a master mason and can’t find anyone at all who wants to do the job. It’s hard, hard work. Unfortunately, it seems like he’s going to have to retire with no apprentices to carry on all his incredible knowledge.

My dad liked to use Weedeater as a sort of verb. To Weedeap. So he’d love to say he was going outside to weedeap the knee deep weeds.

I don’t have a link, sorry, but I know there’s a YouTube channel called “Dad, how do I…?” And it’s a lot of basic adult things. Such as change a tire, check your oil, resumes, tie a tie, things like that.

I don’t know if it’s long form, but I agree with you that videos are preferred for learning and disagree with the person saying Rule 1 for adulting is reading.

This is my best friend who I’m going to propose to soon.

Thanks for moving and not shutting down.

I’m not super savvy on how this’ll shake out, but does this mean any posts users previously favorited will disappear?

I have this one saved and I have no idea if it’s super helpful, but I hope it is.

This game will forever live in my heart as an absolute masterpiece. I cry every time I play it because something about it just completely sucks me in.

I recommend the Journey soundtrack
