fight - You and an enraged chimpanzee face off against each other in a fight to the death. No weapons allowed. If you win, you get Superman's powers, including super speed, super strength, flight, heat vision, super breath, etc.
bite - You get to choose which finger is bitten off. The chimp will bite off the finger but do no further harm.
I’m a woman who has committed to being CF; however, most of my friends have children (I’m at the age now where people have 2 or more).
Some old friends I’ve had to mute on social media occasionally because the mommy posts are nauseating, most of the other moms are okay (pretty balanced in posts). I enjoy congratulating friends on pregnancies or baby milestones. . .what I do find problematic:
“My life finally has meaning now”
“I’m so so so so amazing because I make breast milk”
“I’m the MOST selfless person ever because I only think about my kids”
Or really the title of this post “I’m a mom, what’s your super power?” Lol which none of my own friends have posted (lol we’d be done if they did) but I’ve seen this those mommy accounts countless times, and t-shirts, and mugs. . .
LIKE WHAT? Getting pregnant and having offspring is a basic biological function — Like why must one go SO FAR in trying to validate their own life choices? (Added later since someone thought I was mean — it’s the raising of good children that makes you different).
Anyway, I’m hoping to be entertained by some sarcastic responses and be happy for meaningful responses :) Hit the comments ladies!!!!
**later edit:
- I love reading all these amazing things you all do and super cool hobbies! Keep pursuing these areas that interest and challenge you! 👏🏾👏🏾
- I for some reason get personally offended when someone thinks my post is mean 😅 maybe i need to get over that? I love kids (educator) and I don’t have anything against motherhood — I am happy for people to pursue the life that makes them happy! I am commenting on the problematic culture of “being a mother is the best way to meaning and love” — it’s detrimental to moms who are struggling and feel they have to act happy all the time, it’s hurtful to women struggling with infertility, and it’s excluding CF women.
- Okay that’s all!
I was living in Apex, NC around 2010 (the stake famous for Bednar's "don't stand up before me" incident, memorialized here: https://weirdalma.bandcamp.com/track/dont-stand-up-before-me)
Our stake president knew that any kind of sports watching or participating on the sabbath is of the devil, in spite of the church enjoying considerable good press for its LDS NFL football players. This year, the stake president decided to have a "wheats and the tares" moment by scheduling a stake priesthood meeting on Super Bowl Sunday. Now, many faithful LDS families watch the Super Bowl together as a family, supplying special treats and enjoying the sometimes mildly entertaining commercials, mine included. But this stake president was sure that by scheduling a stake priesthood meeting for the Aaronic & Melchizedek priesthood members, there could be an even better bonding moment... that just so happened to be incredibly boring and left out the women and children.
Now, I don't know how well attended the meeting was, I was at home with my family eating treats and watching the game. I asked around, and no one else knew how it went either, they were all at home too. But the stake president never tried it again, so I'm inclined to believe only the absolute
sycophants and stake leaders who would've definitely gotten rebuked for missing showed up.
Mine has to be Blackbeard’s zhehahaha
Girl replies: "I can guess how many pulls to turn a ceiling fan off on the first try!"
She points up and says: "3 pulls"
Professor X stands up and pulls 3 times. After the third pull the fan turns off.
Professor X: "Yeah thats cool and all, but not really a super power..."
Girl: "Yeah I was jut kidding, I can heal paraplegics"
Professor X, still standing: "Oh my god"
Seriously, gush about your favorite bands. I wanna hear some positivity only. Four is the number.
[Edit]: Fuck I need to go to sleep and there are still so many comments, new task - find uncommented comments in this thread and spread cheer and positivity, bond over similar favorite albums, songs, bands and just be fucking Powerful, okay?
Just for fun and boredom, in exchange please tell me how wrong/right (prob wrong) I am 😏
Theres a lot of “should I discuss crypto with family?” or “siblings think Im stupid for investing in crypto” kinda posts.
Let me tell you the most ultimate power move you can do. Shut your mouth about crypto. Dont tell a living soul about it. Well, technically we know but we are nobodies.
Wait a few years and on your next family dinner, just casually drive that Lambo down the driveway like nothing happened. And when asked “where dis you get the money for all this”, you answer them and feed upon the tears of jealousy.
For me, there seems to be no better nap in the world than a nap I take with a college football game on on the background with the volume low, but not too low. I appreciate the dull roar, it’s soothing to me and feels mellow.
The nap I just took during the Rose Bowl is seriously the best sleep I’ve had in ages. My hangover left and I felt completely refreshed afterwards. Anybody else get great quality sleep when random games are on that they aren’t super invested in?
I've turned into a god-damn prepper. Here are my tips and I'd love to hear yours.
Prep
-Extra ice blocks using yogurt containers
-Use a cooler with ice blocks for things you'd like to take out of the fridge. Yeah, it'll be cold AF but even at 50', your house is warmer than the fridge/freezer are supposed to be. Put things you need from a fridge in the cooler
-Get external phone chargers and charge those MF'ers up
-Get your laundry done ahead of time - Our washer locks and we had clothes stuck in the rinse cycle during the ice storm. What a pain in the ass
-Pick up dog poo ahead of time if you have a yard. Playing in the snow could turn out to be the shits if you don't. Literally.
-Get a camping stove with propane cylinders if you can afford it. Pretty cheap at Target. Heating water or soup will be a life line. Remember to cook outside, never inside, with propane.
-Put styrofoam blocks in your vents on Sunday.
-If you stream and have a tablet, download a bunch of shows ahead of time if you can. You will be freezing, but freezing and entertained is better than bored AF and freezing.
-Get some kind of propane-free lamp for indoors. Propane and indoors is never a good idea.
What are your tips?
Has anyone In the history of medicine ever reviewed these photos ? How do you organize these knowledge bombs ? How do you locate a certain slide among the 1000s of images on your phone?
Edit: Isn't it standard in most conferences to have the slides available for download? Whenever I'm asked to give a talk I send my presentation to the organizer for distribution. I also have a QR code at the beginning and end of my presentation so people can download it directly.

You can change reality into anything you desire using your fists. Eg. You want to change a 1 Dollar Bill into a 10,000 Dollar Bill, you punch it and it changes.
You don't really have to punch, you can touch things with your fists to change it
What would you choose, and why?
but if you don't, you will be.
