Interesting…

How devastating.

I’ve seen a flood of threads about this in the last couple days, and I honestly just don’t care.
- Comment on As China's economy slows, some young people are snapping up cheap apartments to 'retire' early 2 weeks ago:
Great price! I think I’d be kind of scared to live in a building so tall, though.
- Comment on Genes be crazy 5 weeks ago:
I can smell worms, period, but I don’t think it’s gross.
- Comment on Genes be crazy 5 weeks ago:
Stinkbugs only smell bad if you scare them. They never smell bad to me, either, but I also try not to scare insects.
- Comment on Genes be crazy 5 weeks ago:
Ants definitely produce sound when they walk. And why wouldn’t they?
- Comment on Mass Effect is one of the greatest games ever and EA makes good games 1 month ago:
I really loved the first Mass Effect game. The second wasn’t quite as good, and I only played the third because I was invested in the plot by then. They kept changing things that didn’t really need to be changed, and making them worse. I liked Andromeda a lot, too. It takes a while to get going, but the more you put into it, the better it is IMO.
- Comment on How to stay sane in a hostile environment that you can't get out of? 1 month ago:
It’s scary at first to do everything for yourself, but it becomes less scary over time, as you get used to it. Stay focused on your goal of one day not needing them anymore, and don’t give up.

- Comment on 'The past is an underused tool': An Elizabethan mansion's secrets for staying warm 2 months ago:
It tends to be colder around windows, so I can understand why you’d want to warm those areas.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 2 months ago:
There are lots of interesting manuals available on the internet.
- Comment on I have seen a lot of movies where the Catholic School Nuns smack a students hand for being disruptive or something is this a trope or a real something? Like most notable in Blues Brothers 2 months ago:
My principal had that, too! He kept it hanging on the wall in his office, and students could see it when we walked by. It scared me, but I never saw or heard of him using it on anyone.
- Comment on US | Supreme Court takes case that could strip FCC of authority to issue fines 2 months ago:
How do they identify who owns the antenna to sue them?
- Comment on US | Verizon to stop automatic unlocking of phones as FCC ends 60-day unlock rule 2 months ago:
I wonder if this is going to change the price of unlocked used phones. Last time I bought a phone, it was unlocked and the same price as the locked ones.
- Comment on How do I feel comfortable/safe going outside by myself after being so used to have parent(s) be with me outside most of my life? 2 months ago:
You just have to work up to it, little by little. Getting a job, hobby, or volunteer work that takes you to lots of different places can help.
- Comment on Vivid dreams about love 2 months ago:
Yeah, dream love is the best. Sad.
- Comment on Innocent African-American child George Stinney executed after being falsely accused of murdering two white girls | 1944 2 months ago:
Yeah, the idea that people I’ve never met who did something I don’t agree with decades before I was born define me as a person because we’re from the same country is…weird.

I’ve known even elderly people to go back and complete advanced degrees.
- Comment on Are you a market or supermarket enthusiast? 3 months ago:
Local supermarkets, local brands. I would like to buy more directly from the source, though.

And the flavor of good ones is so good.
- Comment on Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans? 3 months ago:
Same for hard anodized aluminium and nitrided iron, which I think are both safer than Teflon. And enamel?
- Comment on Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans? 3 months ago:
My impression was that Teflon pans became obsolete decades ago. We have so many better, affordable options now.
