They jumped out of the way

Yes, my Lord Hermaeus Mora

Isn’t this the same for hands?

I’ve read the definition and I guess it’s not always as overtly negative, but that’s easy to fix with one or two extra words, ie. “self-centered dilettante”

Exactly yes thanks. Gatekeeping is one of those words I tend to forget it exists

Yes, yes Cambridge, that’s right

Yesss yes yes yes I think you’ve nailed it thank you! I didn’t know this word, I’ve read the definition and it suits quite well.

It’s alright, they may be neurodivergent as I am as well, and everyone has a story and a reason to be and do etc. I’m aware this isn’t all there is to this person, I’m not trying to find two words to sum up their existence, just the part of their existence that rubs me off the wrong way.

I think pretentious is the closest match but it’s still lacking something else. Another commenter suggested two words instead of one, I guess that might be the way to go

Probably, I think one word only is too specific. So far I think pretentious fits the bill the best, but it isn’t enough to fully describe the type.

I guess poser is the closest but it’s like an intellectual type of poser. I was hoping for something a bit harsher than just poser though.

I used to live in a house hopelessly infested. My family is clean. We nuked, to no avail. Even if you don’t leave food behind, the fuckers will find things to eat. Examples of things the roaches ate in that house:

• my favorite boot soles (leather)
• cold porcelain souvenirs
• wax used to lubricate drawers
• rotting wood from the actual wall panels
• debris stuck in brushes (hair and tooth brushes)
• paper

You can’t win. They probably have plenty of food in the form of decomposing organic matter inside the walls. For example dead animals, mold, rotting wood or else. I’ve had some success sealing with OCD levels of precision every single possible gap in the floor, wardrobes, walls, you name it. But there is always this or that thing you can’t seal such as power point sockets or else.

Yeah, we both might be a similar age.

Cabbage does store better than most greens, but no, not as long as a preserve would.

Nice, thank you!

That’s a cool read, thanks for sharing

Yes, that’s an option but it’s not a long life preservation method which is what I’m asking about. It’s just hunting/ gathering fresh food like anywhere else.

Yes, but you can’t shelf citrus for like a year. I’m asking about long life preservation methods, not necessarily for sailors back in the day but in general.
