A functional pancreas. Worked perfectly fine for 27 years, then my body just decided it was evil. Super neat.
I was at a wedding tonight and everyone on the dance floor seemed to know what to do with their hands while dancing. I just can’t seem to figure it out.
Eat dairy products
Paying the price for that today myself. Ate a big ass bowl of cereal last night while sleep walking. My sleeping self didn’t know to take lactaid… 🤢
Man here I thought I had it bad when I ended up waking up on the couch and a brand new bag of barbeque chips was gone.
sleepwalking me needs to stop pigging out.
Try eating cereal with Fairlife instead. Tastes almost the same as milk with no side effects. I didn’t know how much I missed cereal in milk until I had it
But why? The dairy industry does some truly evil shit.
Saaame. A sip of milk is like poison for me, 20 minutes later and I’m stuck in the bathroom for the next 4 hours.
I have minor lactose intolerance, and I drink coffee regularly.
I shit out diarrhea if I mix it with milk with lactose of any kind.
a functioning democracy

I feel like long politians would also help out in other facets of life.
Hah, that’s hard to come by for MOST people! I’m not even sure Norway is actually a democracy!
People existing in society in good faith. People who just want the world to be a better place to live, and aren’t willing to shove people down below them in order to get an edge.
I hope you have a good weekend, my friend.
The sad reality is that I’m going to be fine. I’m going to survive the turmoil and probably make money in the process, because I’ve been lucky before now. I worry for people that haven’t been lucky. I worry for people that have been lucky but happen to be the “wrong” race. I worry for my gay friends that are looking at fleeing the country as an easier alternative. I worry for my trans friend that already has fled the country.
The US has always had problems, sure, but nothing like this.
Oh look, a mirror

What the fuck?
I’m saying that your situation appears to be just like mine.
What crawled up your ass and died this evening?
I think people are misunderstanding your comment. There’s a saying “look in the mirror” which is used negatively when someone isn’t being self-aware. People are most likely taking your comment as a play of this idiom and it sounds like you are yelling at someone to be self reflective. It’s miscommunication
I’ve used that phrase many times before, and this is the first time I’ve ever gotten such a bizarre reaction.
Nah, because it’s communism /s
100% why I stopped engaging in activism.
You make a mistake and people always assume malice. It was too bad.
The ability to snap my fingers. I can barely make a sound when doing it.

Can confirm, got long fingers, can reach the bottom of most jars.
Which finger do you use other than your thumb? I use my rong finger, but I’ve seen others that use the middle. I’m sure some wierdo is out there mastering the pointer thumb technique
Middle. I’ve never heard of people using any other fiber, so it’s what I use.
Make an OK symbol with your middle finger
Move every finger except your index finger to your palm as close to your wrist as possible (in a comfortable manner)
Adjust your thumb so it is on the edge of your middle finger closer to your pinkie (this is to cause more friction between your middle finger and thumb)
Press down with your middle finger and then move your thumb, as quickly as possible, to around where your index finger is
If it works, it’ll cause some burning on your finger and a loud noise, you can massage your palm where the middle finger hits if it’s still muffled, it’s likely stiff.
I definitely misread this and thought you said to put my index on my palm, so I was doing it that way, resting my thumb in my index finger. Definitely not as good as the actual method. Absolutely needs practice, though. Thanks for the help.
A properly functioning neocortex.
Hair

A body that isn’t rapidly degrading before I’m even 30.
I had a couple more grocery store stops to make tonight but decided to go home instead because my body hurts and i wanted to stop moving for a while.
Granted, I am fat and sedentary
Illness or lifestyle related? The latter can always be changed, it’s never too late to turn things around. A small step every day!
Some lifestyle, with a lot of family history of chronic pain (and a lot of other stuff) that i am about 10 years overdue to actually see a doctor to be on the lookout for.
Yeah, that sounds familiar. While I cannot comment on the history, sounds like you already know a doctor would be a good thing. Best of luck friend.
I wish I had enough rhythm to dance, not like some amazing dancer, I’m talking even just a little bit. I dance like Elaine on Seinfeld.

That’s very impressive! We had a swing dance club in my high school and they always looked like they were having a good time. I think the closest thing I’ve done to dancing is marching in formation in the Army, which does take rhythm and coordination. But there’s a certain “fluidness” to some people that my body just doesn’t have.
deleted by creator
That’s a good way to put it, I can definitely keep time. But yes, practice makes perfect!
I was terrible at swing! I can’t lead in dancing. I can run a bunch of troopies to set up some comms in the bush and no one will ever hear me as us kids were raised “dad works night shifts so be quiet” kind of quiet. But if a game plan while dancing is a learned skill, I never hit proficiency at it and I think it’s just not for me.
Well done, you. You learned a skill I can only envy, and in under a year!

The thing that gets people to get out of the house and do things with other people.
Not like a vehicle, or transportation but the other thing
I’m a shut-in and I’ll say it doesn’t help living in a sparse area with only a bike*. I usually just ride on the trail to a very close bridge, sometimes I go to the closest town over and buy a few things from the produce section from the local grocery store and that’s it.
Admittedly, I probably still wouldn’t be very social in a denser place (money, but also other issues).
* I don’t want to drive, though lots of ditches around here and there is no north/south trail. So it is a factor.
Oh I got one of those too i need the thing that gets me out of the house. Like a thing that makes me leave the house to go do
I wish I didn’t have this giant penis.
Well spit it out
I’m constantly tripping over mine
Good relation with family
Holy fuck this.
My parents haven’t seen their only grandchild in like 6 years and it seems like they couldn’t care less.
A measurable attention span.
Oh but it CAN be measured.
It is simply that value is too short for what you need it to be.
Wait, what were we talking about? /jk

I feel like long attention spans would also help out in other facets of life.
No allergies. Im allergic to dairy, eggs and most nuts. I’m not lactose intolerant, which I wish I had, because then I could be in the bathroom for a few hours instead of a hospital for a few days. So many things have milk in them, and the few things that don’t put eggs in them too. I can’t eat out.
I feel you. I’m allergy to all nuts (that are tested for) and soy. Dairy, eggs and nuts sounds like a shitty combination because a lot of the vegan stuff is nut-based.
