Kids are great. Mine spend 5-10 minutes refusing to do a two minute task.

Kind of like how I spend three or four days avoiding a ten minute phone call.

I am currently on month 6 of not calling the dentist about a painful tooth

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Not the flex you think it is lol

Seriously, get your teeth fixed. It’s such a huge impact on your quality of life, especially later in life when that damage really starts to affect your eating habits or self confidence

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't call it a flex. But sometimes openly admitting something even to strangers on the Internet can offer some ownership of the situation and start someone headed the right direction.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah I was mostly joking. With a bit of good advice sprinkled on top

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not to mention, you could literally fucking die from a tooth infection if left untreated.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

And miss out on all this!? *gestures wildly at everything*

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

It doesn't seem like they were trying to flex

Broke a tooth on a pizza crust once.. 5 years later it abscessed and I had to have emergency surgery to have it removed.

Fun times :/

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you broke your tooth on a pizza crust, there was definitely something wrong with that pizza!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm just waiting Americans to come in and tell that actually that's just Houston style pizza or some shit and it's supposed to be like that (also it's a cube, don't worry about it)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Houston lobbied for the FDA to permit the addition of glass shards to pizza dough as a bulking agent. What doesn't kill your teeth and internal organs can only make you stronger!

4 days... I've been avoiding some phone calls for straight up 3 years now, the people probably think im dead.

If this isnt fake op may actually be on the spectrum. Washing yourself with the sink Is also called a catwash.

been plenty of times i ve been way to overtimulated to handle a full shower its much more manageable to wash and dry hair and body parts separately one by one.

Op learned what many autistic people do. Inventing an alternative method while masking it into the socially acceptable method.

It's also called a whore bath. He might just be a whore.

A friend of mine is a non-native English speaker. He teaches at an elementary school and works with 'English as a second language' students. He casually mentioned that he always tells his students to take a 'horse bath' in the bathroom sink after recess if needed. He was traumatized when I told him that he'd misheard that phrase for his entire adult life.

That story's as spicy as whore's radish!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Reminds me of a snippet of conversation I overheard at the grocery. Kid’s talking to their mom and yells “child prostitution, ever heard of it?” She was pissed.

This is a right of passage. Growing up there are times when you find out that the easy way to go about doing something is the way your parents were trying to pound into your head all along

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Rite* of passage

Had to do x km/day on the static bike, because fat.

Got no time for that.

Old static bike, with mechanical revolution counter.

Unscrew spinning cable that feeds from the bike into the counter.

MacGyver Lego contraption, with motor, with a pointy bit that fits where the cable would go.

Motor goes brrr, do required km in seconds, plug cable back in, rinse and repeat;, parents never find out (I "exercised" while they were working).

Still fat. 😞

are you guys that bitch made that saying retarded on a 4chan sub is crossed out

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

God I was a pig headed, grubby little preteen I relate to this in spirit so hard.

Pushing boundaries by never doing exactly what you're told: always put your own idiotic spin on it, or else the adults win!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I’m constantly amazed at the variety of possible human sensory differences.

My problem is not spending the whole day in the shower.
