My brother recently spoke to me at great length about how fluoride is poison, it has no scientifically proven benefits and is essentially the government forcing fake medicine on us without our consent, and he wants to get some kind of water filtration system to filter out the fluoride from his tap water. He lives three states away from me and I don't talk to him that often so I don't know if he's succeeded yet.

Part of Everything posted:I wish I could just record my co-worker Dolph. Is Dolph short for "Adolf" or "Dolphin?" Content: When I was 19 and going to community college, the professor in Psychology class said "necrophilia" when she meant "narcolepsy." It sort of set the tone for the whole community college experience.

I work at a Walgreens and recently I had a customer ask me about vitamins. She wanted multivitamins but not the men's or women's specific kinds. "I want a vitamin that both me and my husband can take. I can't take the men's vitamins cause I don't want hair to grow on my chest, and he can't take the women's vitamins cause then he'll grow boobs! Cause of the hormones!" My coworker and I tried to assure her that no, over the counter multivitamins do not contain hormones, but she was not listening to us.

You Are A Elf posted:I've had, on at least two occasions, random strangers tell me I'm evil and/or possessed by the Devil because I'm left-handed. My sister has one brown eye and one hazel eye and when she meets new people they sometimes will go "DID YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT TWO DIFFERENT COLORED EYES???" as if maybe she didn't know for the last 34 years.

Inzombiac posted:Unless I am in the right lighting, I have dark brown hair and a red beard (like a freak). More often than I can count, people have accused me of dying my hair because I'm ashamed or something of being a ginger. My brother suffers from a similar problem of brown hair/red beard. Wow, my sister has two different colored eyes and I am just a ginger. I didn't realize before now that my siblings and I all suffer from terrible genetic problems.

Mouse Dresser posted:Beanies/toques on most people, and newsboy caps on some folks (you tend to need a wider, more squared jaw to carry it off, though). That's really it for younger dudes in 2016. Ladies can get away with many more styles. Except for cloche hats. Nobody looks good in a loving cloche hat in 2016. Not even a real loving princess can carry one off: Her arm looks really fuzzy.

CommissarMega posted:Agreed, which i think proves my point- for whatever reason, hats these days just don't look good on people, unless it's a wide-brimmed hat on a hot day, and even then that's only acceptable if you're in the Outback and are hunting galah or something. I am an incredibly white white person with sensitive eyes, yet I try to go hiking in the mountains/foothills of Colorado where I live, so I do have a giant stupid old-lady straw sun hat that I wear. I know I look stupid but it helps me to exercise so I don't care.

I was in an Astronomy class at a community college. The instructor was talking about the Coriolis effect and how it's a myth that water spins the opposite way in the drain in the southern hemisphere. This really annoying girl who never shut up in class pipes up with "Nuh uh! I went to Costa Rica and I saw it happen!" The instructor just kind of ignored her and moved on. This happened like 8 years ago and I still think about it sometimes and wish I had told her Costa Rica is not in the southern hemisphere.

Regarding corporate-speak from previous pages, I work for Walgreens and, among many other bullshit changes that have recently happened, they don't want us to think of Corporate as "corporate," now they are known as "Support Team." Because of course they have our best interests in mind, they're not some heartless faceless shadowy corporate entity, they are there to support us! They are also remodeling hundreds of stores and creating a new position called "Beauty Consultant," complete with a consultation desk in the cosmetics department, so you can pretend you're buying makeup from a fancy department store instead of a Walgreens. My store manager has 100% swallowed the corporate Kool-Aid and is constantly talking about "modifying our behaviors to line up with the company expectations" and similar poo poo. "Don't forget, we work for a Fortune 500 company and our behavior needs to reflect that." She's a huge fan of the word "behavior" recently. For gently caress's sake, we work retail, there's no life or death situations happening here. I worked at Target for about a year too, that poo poo loving sucked. I'm just really, really ready to get out of retail.
