Too yellow to be olive green, too green to be proper mustard yellow.

Olive yellow or green mustard, your choice

5/10

I just need a job in a creative field. Not sure if that would make it a 10 but would certainly take it to a 9. The last point would be with improved relationships and closer friends.

Okay so what do we make of the sledge and reindeer? Are they also the spawn of Santa, in a different category like ants have soldiers and workers?

I'd watch this movie

Yeah that's the bizarre part. If you are picking this very specific acid you either stole it without knowing anything about it or you know exactly what it is. Both equally puzzling

Ok so being a chemistry ignorant as I am, I went to Wikipedia to read about this acid, thinking it was probably a very common household item sold under a different name or perhaps a very common drug with a different street name, you get it. But it's not. It's just some acid used in a variety of industry processes.

Why on earth would anyone, even on drugs, think an enema with acid is something they need to experience? I've never done cocaine and I'm also not into painful anal stuff so if you are into either and care to explain I'd really appreciate it.

Hunting with firearms is not illegal in Australia. They are relatively common in rural areas, they have their use. All you need is someone stealing guns one way or another and then smuggling them to the city. It's not like the police will stop you to rummage through your belongings... unless you drive like an absolute reckless imbecile.

I don't think you can prevent this from happening again. You can definitely take measures to make it more difficult to happen again, ie. police cordoning an area where there is a religious gathering. But there is always a way. You can't control everything. When it's not guns it's a car driving over people or explosives or poisoning or whatever.

I've dabbled in the occults during my youth and I've never heard of "skin readings". Maybe it's an ancient technique that escaped my radar or maybe it's just a scammer getting your boob pics. I'd be inclined to think it's the latter.

Nerdy knicknacks for stockings? I guess DnD dice maybe

Hello, I work in retail in Australia. The shopping malls I'm at all have "quiet time" for "people with sensory issues" every Tuesday morning from 9 to 11:30 am. It is as you described, and I agree with you.

Now I'm not sure where I stand on the spectrum but I've heard colleagues say they also prefer the quiet time, so, there you go. I just don't understand the point of bombarding people with music all the time especially for Christmas.

 

I've seen people posting tweets from public figures talking about alligators, seen other people joking about alligators. It appears to me that the issue is political, not environmental, but I don't fully get the picture.

What's going on?

 

Disclaimer: I'm not American, I don't live in the US

JD Vance didn't exist in my life before he became vice president. Now, I am aware that I also don't know anything about most vicepresidents in the world. But I've seen a lot of people who are also USA outsiders making comments about him as if implying something else, as if relying on facts everyone ought to know. I get the feeling most people have already heard about him from before and I'm late to the party.

So, what do I need to know, other than his political affiliations? Yes, we all know who the president is and that says a lot, but, is Vance notorious for anything else?

 

I prefer YouTube as the platform but I'm also open to suggestions elsewhere.

Basically I'm looking for long-ish format episodes I can listen to while doing something else. Ideally the host isn't just a voice reading a text, but someone relatable or that shows enthusiasm and/or has a personal take/ humor about the topic they're talking about.

I sometimes listen to Simon Whistler's videos on a variety of topics, in case you know him, I find he's entertaining enough and his writers are usually good but I'm looking for some more variety.

I've tried Stuff You Should Know and the Oologies series and while the content seems well researched, I found them a bit boring for me.

Got any recommendations?

Out of curiosity, (if you'd like to share), how old were you when you found out and how did you take it? Were you on board with it or did it feel weird?
