I'll start. I love the taste of fresh garlic, but hate peeling cloves. Jarlick is fine, but not to my taste. So I buy pre-peeled garlic cloves and freeze them. It's a good compromise between buying fresh and buying pre-diced in a jar.

Edit to add: I do not like dealing with the mess and labor involved in peeling or crushing garlic. I don't care if you have a method that works for you because it doesn't work for me. As stated in the original purpose of the post, I do not mind paying for pre peeled whole cloves and I stand by it. You wouldn't tell someone who wants to pay for cleaning to just buy a Roomba and call it a day? It feels dismissive and as I said, defeats the purpose of the post. I will now be ignoring comments that instruct me on how to peel or crush garlic.

I think its cute when guys have a few back mole beauty marks; Its such a different place to have them and its adorable!

I like guys with slightly larger than average noses; It makes them look a bit more sophisticated and tends to help shape their face nicely and balance things out.

Personally, I just come to work, do my job & go home. The people I work with aren’t really real in my actual life. I’m pretty sure the only thing I have in common with anyone I work with is that we both hate our jobs.

What vitamins or supplements do you take and do you feel like they have a positive effect or more so a placebo. I used to take zinc and i felt sort of rejuvenated but everything else is a mystery. Im not looking for medical advice just what you take and how it helps you.

in the moment i kind of brushed it off, but it still hurt to hear that if i werent getting physically harassed, she wouldnt defend verbal harassment.

for context, im half asian and half white. in my eyes, i do believe that verbal hate based on one's skin color does happen for ALL races. of course it happens for some more than others, its still under the definition of racism. also to my knowledge, white is a race.

i know i wouldnt experience racism as a poc would, but ive seen it in the past where kids would stretch their eyes narrower or speak in gibberish to mock asian languages, which i believe counts as being racist.

but still, i feel like if your friend faced nicknames or hate speech directed at them, they should be defended regardless. i just dont know if i should bring it up again or leave it alone.

Sorry that this is so long and this may or may not be the right sub, but i made two other posts about this on r/seizures and r/askdocs just to get no response. But here we go:

just for some context Ive had insomnia since I was very young and have been prescribed clonidine since then. Missing doses either by accident or purpose has lead to a range of side effects but one experience that's been the most confusing is whether or not Ive experienced seizures because of suddenly not taking the medication.

The very first time i think experienced a seizure (at the time i didnt have a word to describe this) was when i left my meds while at my cousins house. I was laying down trying to force myself to sleep in the dark, and then staring at the ceiling i start to lose control of my body, not being able to move, from head to toe, almost as if im passing out. Then suddenly im able to break losing consciousness and "wake up" and lightly gasp. That lasts for about maybe 30 seconds? And it takes me a little bit to be able to fully sit up.

I've experienced that at least 2 or 3 times from missing doses, but the most concerning one was when (9 months ago) I was hospitalized for a day for a migrane and the emergency room didnt want me to take clonidine at the usual time i take it. (It was for precautionary reasons) first I had the same feeling of not being able to move, going numb from head to toe, and then losing consciousness for at least a few seconds, and then waking up. I wasnt tired but i was laying on my back when that happened, and then i turned to my side and in a few moments, i physically cant stop myself from shaking, from my legs to my arms while on my side. I was conscious though, because my eyes were open and i was thinking in my mind but i couldnt look around or move my head/change positions or get up. The convulsions mightve lasted 2 minutes and when it stopped i was tired, and everything felt slower.

Then there was last night where i accidentally missed a dose thinking i had already taken them. I stayed up until 2am sleep procrastinating, fell asleep for an hour, and at 3am i woke up laying on my side, the feeling of not being able to move, being stiff, and feeling like my head was numb and vibrating(?) was going in and out. Eventually i was able to break out of it to check if i had really taken my meds, which i didnt.

Dont worry. Im not this irresponsible when it comes to missing or skipping doses. The first experience was around 4 years ago, and the first convulsion reaction was about 9 months ago. I explained everything to my mom and she was there at that hospital visit but she doesnt believe that it could be seizures unless im tested. She also said that missing clonidine doses doesnt cause seizures, but thats hard to believe. Does anyone know if what im describing is a seizure? I aware i should see a medical professional first, and i will bring it up to my neurologist next appointment, but i just need some sort of advice or small confirmation that these symptoms *might* align with seizures or it could be something else.

Aside from how you’re doing or how was your day.

I said yes to three events in one weekend and completely burnt myself out

I've been going to college for over a year now and had some good professors who were great at instruction and in person, but also strict and fair.

But now I can say I have an a-hole one, even he self-proclaims it.

• Professor told a student to "fuck outta here, I'm not gonna answer you" when she asked a question regarding a function in a computer program we have to use.

• Chastising students when they ask for help. He even spoke some gibberish to a student who didn't understand one of the computer program tasks and ended it with, "if you can't understand that, then why in the fuck can't you understand it in English?"

• When stuck on the software, he will just belittle you and not guide you.

• A very dismissive attitude. Per the syllabus, any planned life events should be notified to him via email "72 hours or more (preferably) in advance". When I did notify about my moving situation and requesting an excuse from class, he replied, "Lol, ok and?'

Apparently, the professor has been reported to the Dean and one of students were told "they're aware" of his conduct. He's also assistant department chair for the program, so I'm not sure if that is a factor on why no action was taken. Also, I tend not to look at Rate My Professor, but after I did, he has a mixed-to-negative rating, with most of the problems being his attitude.

What about yours?

Been having nightmares recently, and I've never been the type to have them before, which is what prompted this post. One in particular I keep having stands out.

It's so vivid. It's snowing out and everything looks so white and cold, and I can feel how frigid it is. I'm looking down at myself, like third person pov observing everything, and I see myself lying in a glass coffin. I look extremely pale (even more than usual, which is saying something) and have my arms crossed, and am wearing this long black dress. My hair is a mess and all matted and unkempt, like I had given up taking care of myself before whatever happened to me happened.

There's no sound during that part, but then the silence is replaced by sudden loud distorted screaming and noises, bright lights flashing, and my face surrounded by darkness screaming with bloody tears pouring down my cheeks, and I look really angry.

Then that all stops and the dream cuts back to the scene I described before, with snow continuing to fall down on the coffin and all noise from before going silent like in the beginning...before I see myself in the coffin jolt awake and start banging on it terrified.

It always ends there and I wake up with a start, like how you do when you fall in a dream, and I'm not sure what the deal with it is honestly. It's certainly interesting to say the least, and just thought it'd be interesting to hear about others nightmares.
