The funny thing is as long as you have a small kid with you - doesn’t even have to be a baby, just stroller-age - you can bring anything. I’m not even talking about a sealed bottle of water - which, to me, would kind of make sense with the regulations - but all of the sudden your normal 500ml bottle with water, juice, or whatever, is fine. A thermo can with boiling hot water inside? Sure, no problem.

That’s an interesting take, wanna tell me more? (I’m sick right now and my brain cells don’t function well enough to think for myself but that’s unironically an interesting take)

Oh that sounds more plausible thanks

I wonder about the efficiency too. Wouldn’t the microwave lose more “waves” that don’t hit the mug?

I feel you, I have ruined a yoghurt dip a couple of weeks ago with too much garlic. Even my husband felt it was overdone and he comes from a family where they just eat raw garlic like a cucumber. But that’s the point, if you want to eat pure garlic you can go eat pure garlic. But you only want a side kick garlic in certain dishes.

For real man. We were so overworked when both of us had a full time job and no kids. Now we have one kid and one full time job. It is easier, hard in another way but somehow easier. Soon I’ll have to go back to work and I don’t even know how we will survive. We would love to have another kid but we either can’t afford it or we will go insane trying to afford it.

The other part is that stupid part time career pit. Ideally we would both work half jobs, but this will mean none of us can have a well paid job (per hour). But this also means that if my husband is laid off while I am at home, were fucked. Job security is a huge factor in work life balance.

But also, we are the “risky” ones. Most of my friends from school wanted to wait until they are “settled” financially. I don’t have one mom friend from school/university. They are either still settling in their careers or have given up on feeling settled and now have fertility issues.

Just for context, our kid arrived shortly before I turned 30. My friends are in their 30s and 40s. None of them is really “financially secure” since job security is just not a thing anymore.

I would argue it is a problem in a capitalist society where constant and eternal economic growth is necessary.

Then again, I would also argue that capitalism is the problem.

Wait you’re telling me studying uninterruptedly for 15 hours a day with a focus that would make a jedi jealous for four weeks in a row and not being able to get yourself up to go to lectures the rest of the time isn’t the normal way how people graduate best in class?

I just wanted one funny meme before bed not nightmare fuel but here we go

He is, the Iranian media and government confirmed

I also didn’t know how people did it. Then I had a baby and almost fell asleep in the shower once while standing. I’ve never been more tired in my life but man, these few months of just being able to fall asleep at meteoric speed anywhere anytime were incredible. It felt like a superpower from one of those pill memes. Now I am just tired all the time but I can’t fall asleep like that anymore.

Well they just are extra not allowed to commit crimes. Like way more than other people.

To be honest, conscription aside, I think a gap year of civil service would be a good idea. It gives you a break from school - university - work, you don’t feel like you lost time since everyone has to do it, and you get into a mindset outside of your preplanned route, which might do you good.

Please! I’d love a translation!

Yeah this conversation definitely happened like that

if you source your meat right you won’t be contributing to killing animals

Are you eating roadkill?

What I think is so unfair is that if I actually sit through one ad I don’t get rewarded and fast forwarded to the video, no. I’ll get a second ad that, if I am lucky, I can skip after 5 additional seconds. Or it’s an unskippable one. That’s not fair. I could have skipped the first one but I gave you that, I gave you that time of my life, now give me something back!

Can you share the background?

Why would you want to get rid of squirrels?

I dare not google… Eye worms???
