What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? May 22
  • I am listening to the audio book versions of The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells narrated by Kevin R. Free, and holy moly. They are so good. I listened to the first third one twice before moving on. I highly recommend.

  • NSFW
    Anyone got some funny "that wasn't a fart" stories to read to my coworker?
  • I was going in for a drug test for a new job on my lunch break. I had taken some of those 'clean you out pills' that you get from a head shop and the prescribed half gallon of water super early in the morning. I get there around noon, sitting in the waiting room I felt an urgent need to fart. I knew I couldn't keep it in so I did the sly one cheek up maneuver to minimize the sound. Warm smooth liquid came out instead. Filled my underwear and ran down my leg. I immediately got up and asked to use the bathroom. The look on those ladies faces o.0. I said I needed to poo and I promised not to pee. They let me. I clean up as best I can and throw my underwear in the trash, but is smells like death. I decided to confesses on my way out about the underwear and they show me back to the waiting area. I kept my promise, I peed in the cup and left about 20 minutes later. Nurses are laughing at me on my way out. I get in my car and start crying and call my Dad, still my best friend. He laughs and tells me about several times he pooped his pants and I am crying and laughing hysterically, remnants of the duty still in my pants. I had to call into my current job and take the rest of the day off, holding back tears and trying not to laugh. The test came back inconclusive and I had to retake the test about two weeks later. I passed that one with no help, and I had an amazing job that set the course for the rest of my life.

  • What are low-cost methods that's been helpful to your mental health?
  • Meditation is the biggest one for me. For so long I thought it just wasn't for me and then I got an app with guided meditation tracks and I have never been more calm, focused, and generally happy with the way things are since I started. I feel really lucky I gave it a chance and highly recommend it for anyone to try.

  • Favorite Brew Method
  • I really want to try this, but hot coffee is my comfort blanket. Would you recommend heating it and if so how? Is cold brew best served over ice, room temperature, or just chilled in your opinion?
