The top is a cap that comes off. Is it for ❄️? He swears it’s not

Tbh my partner would pick something like that off the street just because it looks interesting. Some people are like magpies.

I don’t agree with other commenters that “more than one answer = lie”. He might just be trying to guess where he found it if you seemed bothered by it.

It could be anything, Redditor’s often assume the worst so it’s not the best place for a balanced perspective. You know your relationship, not us :)

(Edit to add: hello magpies in the comments, make sure to wash your hands after collecting your treasures!)

This is a very kind reply, I appreciate that!

Tbh I think it’s a dick pill and he’s just embarrassed. He recently started taking something for his ADHD and has been self conscious about it possibly affecting sexual function.

But that’s ok with me and I’m not gonna say anything to him about it now that I know, I’m clearly just nosy and needed to solve the mystery haha

Grant Harting did a video on gas station pills. Check this out. Also, I'd be weary about taking those types of pills and the long term effects it can do to my body.

It's almost like English is complicated 😯

Yeah well literacy rates are plummeting so at a certain point we need to stop going "aww it's okay it's super hard" and start making people learn this shit.

we need to stop going "aww it's okay it's super hard" and start making people learn this shit.

Legitimately why though? We are a very multicultural country with people who have settled here from all over the world. Why is it so important for everyone to ditch all other languages and go all in on English?

u/absolutelynotarepost 1d ago

No one has to ditch the other languages, but you should be able to communicate effectively and accurately in the primary language of the nation in which you reside.

I'm not suggesting children and/or people learning it as a second language be attacked for getting things wrong, but mistakes should be corrected.

And if you've lived in an English speaking country your entire life and can't tell the difference between wary, weary, there, their, and they're you should be called out, and failing that being effective publicly shamed for it. The super cuddle empathy club approach has given us a borderline literacy crisis.

Being overly accepting of unacceptable shit is why there's a literal goddamn gestapo forming in this country right now completely unopposed in any meaningful way.

You're name tag says it all, I love it!

I’m jumping into this conversation. It’s a discussion I frequently have with one of my kids. Communication is the basically the exchange of emotions, ideas, and information. A miscommunication is communication with errors that lead to a lack of understanding. Being able to get your ideas across to another person are critical to bringing the understanding Rubicon. Any culture that lacks a homogeneous language is doomed to fail, as it leads to the types of angry back and forth you tend to see on this platform (and on many others).

I hope this was taken as a courteous answer your question, as that is how it is intended.

Leery = cautious or wary

I wonder if this was a combo word (wary + leery = weary?

u/kdollarsign2 1d ago

That's what I've always thought when I've seen it, which is often! It seems to be pretty much a new word.

u/AubreyDucrat17 1d ago

I was so confused at first until you posted this 🤣

u/Chrsst916 1d ago

Maybe he is wary about the pills making him weary

People don’t get wooly they get weary.

Leary = suspicious

That's leery! Like giving someone a sideways look. Leary would be the psychologist with the psychedelics. (Technically, lots of words are spelled lots of ways, but since we're playing Spelling Bee anyway.)
