My coworker once started a conversation by casually asking if I'd ever "done anything" with a cousin. Obviously the conversation ended with him revealing he'd fucked his cousin and me saying WTF progressively louder and louder for at least a minute. I work from home now.

I just don't understand how this happened. Did no one else on the Australian team see her dance and be like ???

I saw the Australian guy's dance and he at the very least knew what he was doing.

What's a relatively mundane task you've seen someone perform with professional 10k hr smoothness and precision?

I used to have a favourite sushi place where we would sit at the bar and chat with the chef. One day we happened to catch him when he was filleting some salmon and it was beautiful to watch him in action. I live in a pretty outdoorsy place and have fishermen friends. I've had salmon filleted in my kitchen before by these amateurs and it was nothing like watching this chef work.

Is it impolite to ask someone about their roots?

If we just met, yes it is rude. We're strangers, my life story is none of your business. If we're more than acquaintances, I expect it would come up naturally at some point in conversation so not rude (hopefully).

I'm a visible minority so I have to weed out the people who are just trying to satisfy their curiosity about why I'm not white. Those people don't ever accept the answer that I'm from Vancouver, or that my parents are from Winnipeg. I will never be Canadian enough for those people because of how I look.

Nobody ever asks my white spouse out of nowhere whether he speaks X language even though he's given no indication that he does, and nobody ever asks him where he's really from.

What are some fads you wish would come back?

They are back! I've seen young people wearing them!

And they're not quite as low as the old ones, I know because I had been wearing my old pair from high school but they finally wore out so I bought a new pair and I'm no longer in danger of showing off the old whale tail.

They call them flared leggings now though.

Septum ring theory

Reply in thread

If a septum piercing is done correctly (and you have average anatomy), it shouldn't be very painful and doesn't touch any bone/hard cartilage because there's what's called a "sweet spot" inside your nose underneath the hard cartilage that's thin and soft that the piercing should go through.

Do you tend to have sensitive skin? Maybe you need to change up your skincare routine. Or you may just need some time to get used to it. It is kind of a violent action to rip hairs out of your skin after all. It gets easier though, fewer hairs come back and I find it doesn't even hurt anymore.

I highly recommend epilating! Like waxing, you're pulling the hair out by the root so it lasts a long time, but unlike waxing, you're not also pulling your skin. Just like doing a coat of primer before you start painting, you may need to do a bit of a shave first, but the maintenance after that is very easy.
