Opposite. I wear wool socks. Sometimes my socks are sopping wet, but my feet feel dry.

Brussel sprouts used to be truly awful, made me literally wretch. Now I eagerly make and order them as a bar snack.
To be fair there are two reasons beyond my changing tastes for this. First, my mom liked to steam brussel sprouts whole and serve them with margarine, salt, and pepper, now I generally cold sear them or roast them in the oven with much better seasoning. Maybe even some bacon pieces and blue cheese mixed in. Second, brussel sprouts did actually change over time to get less bitter and awful since I was a kid.
Getting frustrated by things you don't understand is an acceptable excuse? I saw your spicy reply before theirs in my inbox, that's all. Not sure why you're inserting all this drama into what was basically an very in context conversation.
Frustrated by new thing. Makes it weird
The new thing is this. Don't make it weird.
Okay I understand.
Good. It's not that you didn't know, it's the attitude.
Isn't that the whole point of the post? Having conversations like this regularly.
Good. To be clear, I was not trying to be critical of you not knowing the terms, just the attitude I found gross.
I want off Mr. Bones wild ride.
Sound pretty critical. This isn't the take of someone that's genuinely curious and asking in good faith.
Weird thing to say. Cis is gender. Het is attraction.
I live in a hot climate so my favorite teas are iced.
Iced oolong sweetened only with some lychee chunks is the only thing close to boba I can stomach. I also like a good iced jasmine green tea. Or just a strong green tea hot or iced.
Also, isn't that the whole point of scary movies? I love scary movies and I show that by reacting to the good jump scares, gore, and creepiness. If it bored me so much I didn't react, I probably would find something else to watch. My partner gets a real kick out of watching me jump too.
Some people get a lot out of sitting very still and clearing their minds completely. Some people get more clarity in motion, while running, rowing, cycling, or walking. There is another way on meditation that involves almost the opposite of a clear mind, where you focus on experiencing and really noticing absolutely everything around you; every breath, birdsong, machine noise, footstep, squirrel chittering, and insect buzzing. Sometimes while focusing on a puzzle or game like Tetris, Sodoku, or a Rubik's cube, it feels meditative to me. I don't know if that's real meditation. But my point is that everyone's built differently, find what works for you and stop worrying about failing. If you're trying, you're not failing.
Mostmaps people use to make some point, especially some political point, turn out to just be population density maps.
No. No. No. Don't just buy a raw one if you don't know what to do with it. Find a place that has prepared it in something. I recommend durian ice cream. The waitress warned me that it tasted like gas. I asked her if she meant the fuel or farts and she just repeated "gassy". It smelled sweet like unburned gasoline at a classic car show and earthy like a belt loosening fart. And yet somehow it doesn't actually taste bad. It's mostly just unsettling that it tastes as good as it does. I'm not sure I'd order it again, except on a dare or to horrify any companions that haven't experienced it yet. It's like spicy food, sometimes you've got to power through the initial stink/spice to really get to the hidden flavors.
My work boot socks are Kirkland brand Merino and I've bought some Smartwool socks. This is not a recommendation of those brands, just the easiest one's to find with a reliable amount of wool when I bought them. They're both ok, but really any sock with a sufficient amount of wool in the blend and a good fit will work. The one's with more wool and less stretch will obviously not stretch as much, but they will eventually confirm to your foot shape surprisingly well. The one's with less wool in the blend also seem to not last as long. If you're wearing them in a boot and expect some actually dirt getting in there, a thicker sock will hold up better and protect your feet better long term. At least that is my impression.
