On a Samsung Fold thats open to wide screen: Use one eye only. Two eyes makes it overlap, at least at the distance I held it.

Eh, people have choices in their watch wear, and you're welcome to have a fully analog watch. Lots love those. A digital watch can be convenient in multiple ways. Personally I keep my phone silent and so both alarms and notifications usually come over my watch. I also have it watch my sleeping habits, my pulse, and my blood oxygen levels at night.

My watch AFAIK doesn't have this part, but apple watches can warn you or others if your heart rate is out of range, which can sometimes catch certain issues if the person is susceptible. Of course that gives up some privacy but some people accept that trade off.

I understand fully people not wanting or trusting that stuff, but it doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. Just because I don't like pickles I don't believe they shouldn't exist.

What if we find gender fluidity interesting, but lack body dysmorphia(well, regarding sex anyway. I don't like my body, but that's because I could stand to loose some weight). I also grew up a bit on Ranma 1/2. I don't have a particular body I want to be in, but I think swapping on desire would be cool. There's no trauma or hardship in my feelings, just general interest.

I fell asleep once while during a teeth cleaning and the person doing it was pretty surprised. It had nothing to do with demeanor though, I closed my eyes because the light was annoying then I got bored.

CIS male, been to a hooter once or twice with work friends who insisted their hot chicken sandwiches/wings are good. I didn't really like that style (Buffalo style hot sauce isn't for me, as I grew up on stuff like Scotch Bonnet peppers and fin Buffalo mostly vinegary than hot or flavorful), and I've never felt comfortable ogling staff that has to put up with my bullshit(or lack thereof).

It's just an uncomfortable restaurant.

We often use general terms for systems that cause damage. Men have a rape problem doesn't mean that every man is a rapist. It points to the way many of those who don't rape have varying complicity in the situation, ranging from minor to heavy. Honestly same with ACAB, capitalism, and many other things. We should use it to view our complicity in systems and try to reduce it, not get angry and throw back black a white statements that try to rile up the person who offended you. -posted from my cell phone that has parts made by slave labor and exploitation of other countries, while having multiple Amazon delivery boxes in my room.

I live in GA outside of Atlanta and rent is already tough. I've been to cities with not exactly amazing but serviceable public transportation (various parts of greater NYC and Chicago) and loved them. I've tried to use busses elsewhere, though it often meant 3 hours wasted to go to work, with similar time wasted after (hourly buss schedules and multiple transfers).

I have an electric car now, work from home, and try to avoid having to drive much, but there isn't much more I can afford to do atm. An bike would be nice but even that'll take money I'm still recovering, and some places I go to even just a couple times a month has no public transportation. I'd love if it did, but I have to use EV for now.

I work in IT supporting cloud based architecture. Yelling at clouds is my job.

I've used it for pulled chicken for a soup. I believe the instructions said boil, but I pressure cook/steam it for a few mins then add it into the muchbmore flavorful soup. Though I just as often just use canned chicken breast instead.

Only thing I've ever done that for, since I love chicken to have a browned somewhat firm to crunchy crust, depending on which cut it is.

I've been into Anime since the 90s, always had friends and wasn't ostracized for it. Some people asked questions about tentacle hentai and Akira, but since was I never found any intereet in either all I could talk about was stuff I'd seen and I'd just tell em that.

I guess the closest thing to a real negative reaction was my mom walking in on the opening scene of Ranma 1/2 Movie 2, where Ranma, having been at the beach as a guy, was now running around topless as a woman. She didn't accept "that's really a guy who just got splashed with water."

Go-bots can't fight the transformers because of copyright issues.

Wow, yeah. Huh.

Someone is into OP or whoever is in gold, at least for now. Even if you don't find it cool, flatter to keep conversation and interest. It could be genuine as in finding interest in anything your crush is into interesting, or be just practical.

Also, people are attractive/interesting when they speak about stuff they're passionate about. Lots of people will listen to you blab on about something they know nothing about or care nothing about if you interest them in your delivery.
