Yeah, I've tried that, I even have these extra strength lactase pills from Europe with like 3x the amount of lactase as Lactaid, but it's still always unpredictable as to whether it will work or not, and if it doesn't, it will ruin the rest of my day.

An everything bagel with plain cream cheese. I used to make my own bagels and have them all the time, but as I aged I became lactose intolerant, so I tried some of the vegan cream cheese brands, and let me tell you that shit is NOT the same, so I just stopped baking bagels, and I miss them.

You can't fully trust anyone, not your parents, siblings, extended family, spouse, best friend forever, no one. Don't count on anyone for anything and accept that the only person in your life who has your best interests at heart is you.

I've met a couple Mormons that were reaaaally deep into the shit and talked and acted like robots just parroting all the religious nonsense they'd been fed. But to be fair, I've also met some cool Mormons who were less into it and generally just good people.

Yeah, they never gave a shit about that, it was all religious services on Sundays only. If I remember correctly there was Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jewish, and Buddhist services, and I think maybe Wiccan.

When I was in basic training in the U.S. Army in the late '90s, we were also offered free bibles and rosary beads and no other religious materials, although there were various services for many religions on Sundays that you were allowed to attend.

Graduating from college, and with a 4.0. I fucking HATE school, and i put that shit off until my 30s. None of it was easy and I studied my ass off to get that 4.0. I truly never thought I would ever graduate, I started and stopped so many times.

I said it before and I'll say it again: If you are a woman and you vote for Trump, you are not a woman. How can you vote for someone who doesn't have our best interests at heart? How can you vote for someone who sees us as no more than a body to be fucked and make babies? Why is your self-esteem so low? Why do you not value yourself more? You are capable of more than what they are telling you!

Math. I sucked at math since 3rd grade and that shit was a struggle all the way through college. I'm lucky i can even count, I swear to God. Had to pass THREE remedial math courses just to be allowed to take the course that counted for actual credit towards my degree. Lately I've been contemplating going back to college for a second degree, but I realized I'd have to take shit like pre-calculus for the degrees I'm looking at and I just don't think I could do it. My brain is such a letdown.

Cigarettes. Went cold turkey every time. 3 time's the charm! It's been 13 years now, but I still occasionally get cravings, and sometimes I dream about having one and then wake up feeling super guilty and horrible about myself even though it wasn't real.

I don't, I just finally gained the willpower to get up and do shit even though I'm not motivated. Very often in life, you have to do shit you don't wanna do. This doesn't mean your life sucks and that you cannot find any joy in your day, this is simply a fact of life. Once you accept this and stop having feelings about it, it's 100% easier to go about your day. I don't think this is a modern day thing, either. I'm sure you could pick any time period in history and find a human that wasn't thrilled with the idea of getting up and doing XYZ thing that they had to do that day in order to survive.

Hmm, I have a desk job too, but I get up and stretch a lot, and workout at least twice a week. Does this only happen to you on planes? Do you ever sit for 5 hours anywhere else? Does it happen after like a 3 hour movie, or JUST on planes? I did find this interesting article about soreness and flying: https://www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/advice/general-travel-health-advice/air-travel

Are you otherwise very active on any given day when you're not on a plane? Maybe you're never sitting that still and confined for 5 hours straight and your body just isn't used to it? Are you tall? I can see where it would totally suck to be tall and fly for any amount of time, really. The only time I'm ever thankful to be 5'3" is when I'm flying and can have a bag under the seat in front of me and still stretch out my legs and cross my legs if I want to.

I was in NH this weekend and while driving saw a lawn sign on one house that said "Save America, Vote Republican", and right next door on the neighbor's lawn was a sign that said "Save the Planet, Vote Democrat". It was glorious.

Doesn't need to be a life or death situation, just any moment in your life where you found yourself saying "Holy shit, I can't believe this is happening!"
For some reason I've just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.
Have you ever tried a recipe that turned out to go horribly wrong, or maybe the end product, despite being good, just wasn't worth the effort? What was that recipe, and what about it made you say "NEVER AGAIN"? I ask this as I am actively trying to remove the stench of onions from my Instapot lid's silicone ring after making French Onion Soup in it (so far steaming it with white vinegar on the steam setting, soaking the ring in a water/baking soda bath overnight, and baking it at 250 degrees F for 20 minutes have all done nothing, so I ordered a new one, I give up). And I realized that cutting all the onions and waiting hours for them to caramelize and now this damn smell issue just isn't worth it. Plus I still have frozen soup in the freezer because I can only eat French Onion soup so many days in a row. NEVER AGAIN.
If yes, where would you move to? If no, why not? I ask this as someone who has moved around a lot (5 states) for better working opportunities. I often hear people say they wish they could leave their current city/state/country, but money is often (understandably) an issue.
I use this blend of spices more during the winter months, but it's tasty in any season: HAWAIJ (SWEET YEMENI SPICE BLEND) **Ingredients** 2 Tbsp dried ginger (or 2 large dried pieces of ginger) 2 Tbsp cardamom seeds (removed from pods) (or 2 Tbsp ground cardamom) ¼ tsp ground nutmeg ¼ tsp ground mace (or 2-3 pieces mace) 12 whole cloves (or ½ tsp ground cloves) 1 whole cinnamon stick (or 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon) **Instructions** Grind all spices together in a spice grinder. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months. (See linked website for more recipes and info)
I'm curious what users feel makes a great sci-fi story. What elements do you feel "make or break" the story specifically where sci-fi is concerned? For me, I really enjoyed the Expanse series, as it feels like there's a sort of "believability" to it all. The authors make everything seem very realistic, even if some of the descriptions and physics are made up. What is it about your favorite sci-fi books and shows that make them your favorites?
Hello fellow curly-haired people! I just wanted to recommend the linked detangler brush. I use this one in the shower on wet hair and it has been a game-changer-- way less pulling and breakage and hair loss in general. I was using a wide-tooth comb before I came across this brush, but it's soooo much nicer and I don't spend 30 minutes picking through my hair now. If you haven't tried one of these brushes, it's totally worth the $5!
Hello, and a big FUCK YOU to Nestle! I wanted to start a thread where we could share any Nestle-alternative products we have come across! I will get the ball rolling with what I have found over the years: **KitKat**- KitKats used to be my very favorite candy, so I was bummed when I learned they are made by Nestle. This is now my go-to alternative: [https://norwegianfoodstore.com/products/kvikk-lunsj-chocolate-3-x-47-gram](https://norwegianfoodstore.com/products/kvikk-lunsj-chocolate-3-x-47-gram) **Kiehl's** skincare products- I used to use Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, but now use e.l.f Holy Hydration face cream, which has the same ingredients and costs much less per ounce [https://www.elfcosmetics.com/elf-skin](https://www.elfcosmetics.com/elf-skin) **Starbucks ground/whole bean coffee**- Some of the bags you buy in the supermarket are made by Nestle (you have to check the back and sides of the bag to be sure). I stopped buying Starbucks and started buying bags of whole bean from a local coffee shop that roasts their own **Garnier hair care products**- I dye my hair frequently and used to use Garnier product, whose parent company is L'Oreal, which is owned by Nestle. I now use Clairol instead For a large list of Nestle-owned products, see Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nestl%C3%A9_brands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nestl%C3%A9_brands) What are some Nestle-alternative brands that others here have found and enjoy?
