It's almost like our collective experience is so boring and gloomy and so stressful for our little bodies and brains that we as a species are prone to mercurial outbursts where we act recklessly as a way to prove our existence to ourselves

Can you please respond back in two hours?

After a year and a half unemployed, my husband has finally gotten a job he's excited about. Total career change. I'm home alone with the baby for the first time, but I'm really glad he's found something!

They're safe relative to other explosives like bombs.

I think a big part of it is that they're dangerous. It's fun to experience just a tinge of fear from how big they sound, or even just from being near the little street versions. It's a (relatively) safe way for us to experience something that would otherwise be terror inducing explosives.

Or even just some laws that require you to prove you have a lesson plan at all

Self respect doesn't make you dress uncomfortably to grab milk, it's respect for others. People now a' days just realize we don't need to be so formal to still treat each other with respect.

Though honestly, I see plenty of people misbehaving/behaving rudely in public, maybe we should go back to collared shirts? If that keeps people from yelling at cashiers?

Hey, we look to the comments to see if someone else read it and summarized it first before commenting!

my husband and I both have ADHD. typically, we fight, I'm over it pretty quickly, he needs until he can sleep to get over it, but I think this is because we usually fight "My way." I need us to talk it out and dissect what's actually the root of the issue (usually past hurt, ongoing pattern, or misunderstanding at the onset of the fight). Once the issue is dissected and we commit to a resolution, or even just commit to acknowledging the issue and working on it, I feel loads better. If our flight is interrupted or he gets his way (ignoring the root cause, taking a short break from each other for a walk) then I'm simmering for ages and not that interested in being friendly again whereas he is back to normal.

Are you better at arguing? Do you typically "win" the argument? Or do arguments usually go along your ideas of how a fight should be structured? This may have something to do with it.

I second the above recommendation for the Nonviolent Communication book. It's a short little read / work book and it can get you both using the same language, as well as kind of force you to take responsibility for your own feelings and needs.

80 to 90 °F is your sweet spot?! Did I read that right?

I've got a sister and a sister in law who both homeschool their 4 children each. Those kids don't know how to read. It makes me pretty sick.

Is anyone else having the issue where you're 30 comments deep into a post, you reply to a comment and when you submit it refreshes the whole post making you lose your spot in the comments?

Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

I'm on a Google Pixel if that's relevant.

No but they absolutely do say, "Wow you look really pretty today" but have no idea why.

Men treat you nicer when you wear makeup.

The other day my coworker said, "you look different. I don't know what it is, but you look great. I think you've been getting a lot of rest" nope. Just wore makeup that day

My husband, many times, has been looking at me, admiring me, and complimenting me on how naturally beautiful I am without realizing I just filled my eyebrows in that day and have darker lashes rather than blonde lashes.

Just because men have the privilege of ignorance doesn't mean they aren't attracted to made up faces.
