AFewBricksShy posted:The best way to learn to sneeze quietly is to break some ribs. Sneezing is terrifying with freshly broken ribs. I don’t think I broke, but I either cracked or bruised my ribs badly. They healed up finally, then a sneeze undid it and went back to constant pain.

Sneezing is your nose having an orgasm and it is a delightful feeling.

blowing your nose isn't quite as much of a full-body experience as a sneeze, but i can assure you it is much more effective lol sneezing is broken, "something's buggin' my nose, better send a whole bunch of air down the other pipe"

Check out this hot legal take: I'm having fun imagining a world in which people are obligated to complete transactions with bank notes in any condition and have no legal recourse if the notes themselves are, say, contaminated with radioactive waste or previously used to retrieve dog poop.

I'm pretty sure that's not how the concept of legal tender works, it's for debts, if you walk into a store and pick up a bunch of stuff you aren't then indebted to the store the minute it goes into your basket. The store can quite easily tell you to gently caress off and put the stuff back, no transaction has taken place and they aren't obligated to perform one because you have money any more than you're obligated to sell someone your shoes if they walk up to you and wave a tenner at you. If you borrow money from someone and offer to pay them back in legal bills the other person can't sue you for failing to repay. That's what the phrase means.

On an episode of Community, Chevy Chase's character tries to teach another (Troy maybe) how to loudly sneeze in order to assert dominance in social situations. I remember watching it and thinking "Yeah I could totally buy that some dudes do this intentionally, hell I probably know a few." So yeah I'd believe that a lot of people definitely CAN sneeze more softly. But I also sneeze super loud most of the time because typically when I try not to it feels like my sinuses and/or brain will explode.

It sucks either way because the people on both sides of the counter in poor communities are at a higher risk of covid, at least judging by the per capita infection maps that light up in the Black Belt and the Navajo nation. Not that it matters to Mississippi senator Chad McMahan who I'm sure is posturing for partisanship points.

My hot take is that if you have a quiet sneeze and can make yourself do it more loudly on purpose, you might be prompted to assume everyone who sneezes loudly is therefore doing it on purpose. But maybe you don't know their body and should just mind your business instead of assuming they operate on the same biology you do. I thought that was how we try to do things these days but I guess we draw the line at people who sneeze loudly.

I have moderate to slightly loud sneezes and that’s just how it is for me. I can’t do anything about it. Frankly I enjoy sneezing even less than you enjoy hearing it.

My sneezes used to be fairly normal, not particularly loud I think, until I broke my ribs. Ever since I can't sneeze normally anyway and I kinda try to keep it in or something, to minimize the movement and pain I used to experience sneezing. Over the last year or so I've also started getting sneezing fits after a hot shower. Like half an hour later I'll be sneezing pretty regularly for an hour or two. Kinda sucks these days because I can't get groceries and stuff until it clears up.

I'm 100% in favour of keeping cash spendable everywhere until there's a way we can guarantee people have access to debit cards, but yeah huge bills are iffy. When I was delivering earlier this years somebody tried to pay me with a hundred, out alone after dark, for an order of less than 20 bucks. I refused that poo poo. Couldn't break it and it gave me bad vibes, like I'd whip out 80+ bucks of change and they'd just mug me.
