    Or introverted! My family of ADHDers will not only interrupt over last word, but sometimes two people will complete their full sentences at the same time. We’re all on top of it. No worries if you didn’t finish your thought because we changed topics, just say the sentence when there’s a nice lull 40 minutes later with no introduction at all and we’re all back in. No one ever feels interrupted or has hurt feelings, we just are glad of each other’s company and love to get together. All the husbands are really sensitive about it and take it very personally, but my brother just brought in a long term gf who fits right in! She also interrupts with the most interesting things! We love her!

    My husband hates being interrupted, but if i don’t jump in, he will talk for 15 minutes or longer with no breaks about something whether I’m interested or not. So he rambles and I interrupt and we both think the other has poor awareness. We love long car drives because there’s plenty of time for both







  • I know someone who was in an escalator accident. The issue is that if you trip, your hair can get caught in it and if you don’t resolve it by the top it rips the hair from your scalp. Idk if modern ones have mechanisms to prevent this, but i know of a gnarly accident from the 80s or 90s. Makes me stressed every time I ride one. I almost always stand still, with one foot on the stair above and a hand on the railing to maximize stability.

    Can also happen with a loose shoelace but then you just slip your foot out of the shoe so not so bloody.



  • I try to review everything positive or negative because I rely on reviews. I’ve been banned from reviewing, and I pay for prime. Wtf. They say I’ve done suspicious activity or violated review terms, but won’t let me see previous reviews, and won’t let me appeal. Bull crap.

    The only thing I can think i did is, do you know you’re not allowed to include in the review anything about shipping or packaging? You’re only allowed to review the product itself. So if you let others know your item came broken due to poor packaging, that’s a violation of terms. I don’t even remember doing that, but it’s the only rule I can imagine myself breaking!


  • This is a crazy take. My toddler is absolutely more work than any other job I’ve ever worked and I’ve done office work, physical labor, heck even childcare! If you give two shits about your kid, and follow modern childcare standards, childcare is a very taxing job. If you’re a crappy parent who just lets the kid eat fruit snacks and watch TV maybe it’s easier than whatever job the other parent has, but my husband works blue collar and we both agree that often my job is more taxing. He absolutely picks up 50% or more of the work when he comes home, and on weekends. When he burns out he gets a break, and when I burn out I get a break. We’re actually a team.

    I want sex more than he does because I’m well taken care of, and he’s equally exhausted from helping. Literally cannot imagine saying no thanks if sex is on the table cause also, when a man is generous and equitable with his labor in life, that also spills over to how generous and equitable he is in bed.


  • The number one way (more effective than medication) to increase a woman’s libido is an extra hour of sleep. It’s truly no wonder that getting negative hours of sleep for a literal year at least kills libido.

    I’m pregnant and the insomnia is killing me. 4 or 5 hours a night, usually. And the poor sleep will only continue when the child is born. Everyone’s talking about how men need to help more with chores and all that’s true and good that you need division of labor, but even if you’re good at division, the sleep loss with children is inevitable.


  • I mean it’s obviously hyperbole, but as a pregnant woman with a toddler, I’d be absolutely livid to learn my husband was taking hours long coffee breaks while leaving the shared work of child rearing (specifically newborn care) to me alone.

    Sleep deprivation will absolutely make you a crazy person, and this dude is just using this torture tactic on her out of laziness and selfishness.








  • Literally no thoughtful or reasonable sexual partner is going to say they prefer the type of penis it’s impossible for you to have, so that data is wildly biased.

    I’m a woman and I’ve been with both. I don’t really care either way (and I feel confident most women who have actually been with both don’t really care) but my best lasting lover by far was uncut. I will not circumcise any sons I have.
