Oh man, do you think spilling some FBS once is what cursed me? I think that might be what cursed me.

Basically every country has their own sign language or an imported sign language that became standardized.

But learning any sign language will make it a lot easier for you to communicate with signers of any sign language. Not because they’re necessarily similar to each other, but because sign language varies a lot regionally anyway (and even locally depending on what method of signing you’re taught) and it will be much more natural to find ways to work around it and communicate with each other.

I don’t know if this is true of all species in the family, but the North American tyrant flycatchers are absolutely named that because they’re bossy little shits and very territorial, they won’t hesitate to attack and terrorize larger birds. They’re the chihuahuas of birds.

In primates small testicle size is correlated with how many males a female typically mates with. More males mating with the same female means the male that produces the most sperm has an advantage. So gorillas have tiny balls because every troop only has one silverback male, and chimps have horrifically huge nuts because there’s a lot of competition for mates from other males in the troop.

Interestingly, humans fall roughly in the middle of the scale in terms of ball size!

How do I unlock this power? 🥺 It took me years to allow myself to unmask in front of my husband any time other than when I was in crisis.

Isn’t this just Chrono Trigger?

Anything worth doing is worth half assing. If you don’t feel like doing the assignment, sit down and start doing the work, but badly. Don’t check your work or self edit, for reading just skim it. No matter how badly you do it, it’s still going to be better than none of it being done.

Often just starting is enough to get you engaged and do better work. And if it’s not, well, half assed is better than nothing.

I’ve never seen any, we don’t have Woolies where I live. Store brand chips just come in a bag.

I’m not saying it’s definitely a recovered memory from a past life as an amoeba, but if you did recover a memory from a past life as an amoeba it would probably be a lot like that

Makes sense, because the flavor/satisfaction to dollar ratio isn’t great. But it’s the only chip you can get in a neat stack and easily individually count out.

This one fuckin got me. Are they sure this didn’t actually happen?

You sound overly anxious, it’s only nuclear war if the internet has gone down.

I think that’s basically what The Botany of Desire is about, right?

It sounds like you gave your kitty a long, love-filled life. I’m sorry they can’t be with you longer.

I don’t disagree, but being egg bound sounds about as bad as dying in childbirth.

Sometimes they will die because they can’t puke. Also broken legs are usually fatal even with vet care.

Don’t feel embarrassed at all, it’s a totally normal fear and like you said she’s definitely seen worse. You got this 💪

The front tooth is actually the easiest to do a root canal on, so it shouldn’t be bad at all. They won’t be changing your tooth much if you don’t need a cap, just cleaning out the infection and the nerve. So you shouldn’t feel any change in how it sits in your mouth or pressure against other teeth or anything like that.

I’ve had a root canal on a front tooth and the only time I can tell that it’s any different from my other front tooth is if I accidentally bump it with something, it doesn’t hurt the same way as a tooth with a nerve does. It still hurts, just from the gums rather than the tooth if that makes sense.

Don’t feel like you can’t tell your dentist you’ve had bad experiences before and are afraid, it is SUPER common and dealing with it head on is going to be a lot better than being unable to get it done during the appointment due to an anxiety attack. If you don’t feel it’s quite that bad for you then you can still ask for nitrous oxide to help you relax.

Root canals used to be a lot worse than they are now, now it’s basically like getting a cavity filled. You just get a shot and don’t feel anything painful afterwards, although the drilling is loud and you can still feel pressure.

Depending on the office they may need to put in a temporary cap and wait for the actual cap to be made off site and mailed in to them, so you may have to wear the temporary for a week or so. It’s not uncommon for the temporary cap to fall out, don’t freak out if it does. You can put it back in or leave it out and just gently brush the hole normally (it won’t be painful).

If you have a strong fear of getting a shot in your mouth, you can ask the dentist to prescribe you anti-anxiety medication to take beforehand, but you’ll need someone to drive you to and from the appointment.

But honestly it should be a huge relief once it’s done, in terms of tooth pain. It will instantly be better once the numbing wears off.
