If you’re making me side with Bambu in a court hearing you must be a pretty shit company.

I wore comfortable shoes I can run in to all first dates after that.

This absolutely breaks my heart to read. Like I as a man will probably never relate to this struggle or be able to understand it on a personal level but probably all of my woman friends would read this and either think, “hey, that’s good advice” or “yup I already do that as well as XYZ to stay safe”

Like fuck. How is it that I put exactly zero effort into not being a creepy rapey predator, and I’m not chasing women to their cars, yet at the same time every woman that I know has a story at least somewhat similar? Why does it feel almost inherently true that there will always be a subset of shitty guys that view women as their prey/right/property/conquest?

What a shit world we’re living in.

I’m sorry for rambling and I’m sorry that this is something you have to live with.

This reads like someone in the comments of an Onion article mad that someone would spread false information.

It’s a joke, g. Throw some dice and make up some bullshit RAW of your own, it’s fun.

Huh, ok. I already have it set it view read posts, so it’s odd that hitting the check makes things disappear rather than just being grayed out and “read”. Thanks for the advice though

Heavens no! It’s just an idea that I realized was possible and have decided to state it as fact. They probably are, right?

Energy drinks are counter intuitive.

This argument is ignoring that energy drinks a. have the same caffeine (usually more) than the coffee you offer as an alternative, b. don’t generally use sugar as a marketing term promising energy, and rather c. tend to offer sugar free alternatives to come across as healthier

Shit. You’re gonna make me go back to reign.

I switched to Redbull because of the lower caffeine content (I feel like it’s starting to effect me with jitteriness and anxiety but still need it to function (yay undiagnosed ADHD)) but that orange creamsicle was sex in my mouth and when I was able to handle it that 300mg felt AMAZING.

I might just have a heart attack at work tomorrow.

Haha, oh, that is childhood trauma I’m remembering, ha! Isn’t that crazy.

This is why I’m never having kids. Took your comment for me to realize how obnoxious and condescending that was for my parents to treat me like that, God knows how many other awful mannerisms I’d repeat.

“Japan has had the best 2000s tech since the 80s” I think is the succinct phrase you were looking for
