A first date was already not going well, and I said I needed to go. He decided that wasn't happening. Ended up having to run away from him, literally, through a park area while wearing heels to reach my car. It was daytime and many people saw what was happening, but no one did a thing to help. But I'm sure if it hadn't been daytime, he wouldn't have "let me" get away after catching me. There were just too many eyes on him.

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

Hard cheeses, yes. Soft cheeses, no.

I was thirteen years old when I went to the doctor by myself because a cut on my eyelid wasn't healing. I was asked about my birth control, sexual activity, and whether I thought I could be pregnant (after saying I've never had sex) then pushed out of the examination room after NOT having my eye examined at all.

As an adult, I realize now how terrible that was and I would have done something about it if it had happened to me today. But at the time I was so embarrassed and hurt, I just pushed all thought of it away until years later.

Found on reddit one day and I love it.

I wanted an older sibling as a child and I remember trying to convince my parents they should have another baby. In my mind, if I just waited (my age +1) years, I'd then have an older sibling. It never ocurred to me that I would also age during that time...

The next generation. They seem to be standing up for themselves more, they're speaking up about their issues, they're refusing to just roll over and be obedient little wage slaves. Millenials like me might be beyond hope, but the next generation gives me hope.

Aren't the majority of people in general more excited about family and relationships than about their careers? Most jobs nowadays aren't exactly inspiring.

The number of homeless people jumped by 16% (I assume compared to last year's numbers). That doesn't mean that 16% of people are homeless.

Toothpaste that foams too much. Which is most toothpaste.

I have aphantasia and I love so many colors! I love looking at them, the more so because I can't remember them later. But every time I look at, for example, a bright yellow, it's like experiencing the wonder of it for the first time again and it's mesmerizing. Sometimes I have a hard time trying not to stare at certain colors I see. I might be broken.

It's happened in education and the inverse happened in computing.

If you live in Canada, absolutely do not do this. It can affect how much severance you're entitled to.

But that's actually delicious though.

What is a Sambo?

Journey is one of my favorite games of all time purely because of how it made me feel. It was so hopeful and positive. And it made me feel connected to a complete stranger. I'm still impressed at how the communication is limited in a way that makes people bring out only the best in themselves. It's beautiful.

You can have municipal regulations and be free to decide what to do with your own property aside from that. Most of the world does it and things work just fine, with the added benefit of no HOA troubles.

I wish I could experience this superpower.

I hadn't even considered that. I usually wet it first. I'll try not doing that and see if i have a better experience.

I'm halfway through reading Nona the Ninth right now and I'm absolutely loving it! Her perspective is hilarious

Lol Cuba can't even afford bullets for military training.

We are at that point already and they still won't consider it.

I was an only child and I just wanted someone cool to play with me who I could look up to. Also all my older cousins picked on me and I wanted defence lol

Breakfast on a pear?

e. e. cummings did this for me with poetry. True masters of their craft know exactly the right ways to break the rules.
