  I’m a sucker for blue; 9 might be my favorite. 6 was yet more brown in a house full of brown and yellow. I’m an early 80s baby but my parents held on to the 70s as hard as they could, decor-wise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw your zodiac sign, tell me...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No but my mom is originally from Nebraska! Scary close lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw your zodiac sign, tell me...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  6! No one else?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vacations don't fix your life because your brain treats time off like a free trial of being the person you want to be⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My friend describes this as vacation people vs trip people. My husband and I are definitely trip people generally, but with kids in the picture it’s nice to get an actual vacation (relaxing) in once in a while. But there’s so much in the world we want to see!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Partially because I lived through it, the ‘89 earthquake. I specifically remember not having power and then everything turning back on after midnight and what the news looked like (more grainy than normal) because I was afraid of the dark and hadn’t been able to sleep.

  Ouch I had a 4

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, boomer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even my not-paid-off house is saving me money, since rent has continued increasing and my mortgage has not. I’d probably be paying at least twice in rent for this house as what my mortgage payment is. Bought it 12 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obligatory⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t actively play the game with anyone but I’m aware of it and kind of keep it in mind. Last year I “lost” soooo early.

  They look like rocks. Be careful, don’t crack a tooth!

  If chocolate and coffee taste similar to you, I can see why you wouldn’t like it with fruit!

  I like chocolate with my fruit (berries, apple even) but I don’t care for fruit in my chocolate bars, funny enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God did not intend for us to fold fitted sheets, and if you can it's witchcraft.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That works if the sheet only has elastic on the corners. The last few sets of sheets I have bought have elastic all the way around the edge of the fitted sheet. Does well on the bed but damn they’re impossible to fold.

  Now that you mention it

  I don’t even think she looks ugly in the OP photo. Her smile is radiant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The resemblance is uncanny⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Rita Repulsa from Power Rangers. I’m shocked I remembered her name; my younger brother loved the show to bits but I thought it was stupid. In my defense, I was probably about the age my oldest kid is now (11) and he also thinks anything he doesn’t like is stupid so I think it’s a preteen thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally read those stats differently, that black people are more likely to be murder suspects (not convicted necessarily but let’s be real) because of systematic racism. White people can’t possibly be murderers, right guys??? But I also am not familiar with the meme background so maybe that’s skewing my reading of it.

  I haven’t read much but this is definitely a thing in Jane Austen’s works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I knit sweaters. I don’t like knitting socks, I don’t wear hats, and so sweaters it is. I get lots of compliments on them and when people find out I knit them myself, they’re always pretty astonished.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is interesting. A popular squirrel deterrent for bird feeders is to put spicy stuff on the seed. I’ve been trying that lately and the squirrels have completely left my bird feeder alone. So there must be something rodents don’t like — unless squirrels are just built different?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you so young that you have never been in a car with one of these?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha my mom had a Cadillac, pretty sure even the same year, and my little brother also found out the hard way about those lighters.

  I am not a financial guru so hopefully someone will correct me if I’m wrong about this, but your credit score is affected positively the more available credit you have. So by voluntarily lowering your available credit, you’re actually hurting yourself way more than the card companies. At least I think that’s how it works, or rather one of many factors.

  Yeah what is up with that? There are so many of those stupid stickers lately. There is no way so many cars are being driven by student drivers. I told my kids that when they’re learning to drive in a few years, there’s no fucking way I’ll put one on my car.

  Knock it off with that making me feel old stuff, geeze man. (Holy shit, it’s been 15 years?!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple sues YouTuber for alleged iOS 26 trade-secret theft⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a big scandal some years back because an Apple employee left a prototype phone at the bar/restaurant next to the campus, so they definitely do it. I’m a bit surprised that they didn’t crack down harder after that incident, but to be fair to this guy, he didn’t take it out and about and just took it home. I can’t say I’d be overly worried about something happening to it if it was just at my house, but I also don’t have people crashing with me frequently…

  Knitter here. I’m literally making clothes! Yes a sweater takes months but you know… also good for meetings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your household smart products must respect your privacy – including your air fryer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My husband has been wondering if he should get formally diagnosed for ADHD now that our kid has been. (Talk about a carbon copy of a parent, this kid, geeze.) This explains a lot about the way he cooks. He always says it’s because he “needs more practice” but all I see is a chaotic stressful experience, and of course if I try to help him I just get in the way and make him irritated that I seem to think he can’t manage it on his own. Anyway all I’m saying is that it’s interesting to read your comment because I wonder if that’s my husband’s trouble, too.

  We did that with PG&E. Except we did get something in return: lots of dead people.

  I bet it’s supposed to be a pseudo border around the whole room but we’re just seeing one wall so it looks super out of place. Can’t say it’s a design choice I would make though.

  I’m kinda into pizza this way, sometimes. The frozen pizza I prefer has a thick crust kinda like this AI crust. But I 100% understand why people wouldn’t like it; I figure I’m in the minority. At least there’s enough of us that the grocery store sells a frozen pizza that I like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that. I had already been burned by VW with the TDI scandal, so I was pretty frustrated with car companies in general. Are any of them truly ethical or consumer-focused? We saw that Tesla was at least trying to make the electric car thing work and we wanted to support that movement—not because we think electric cars are the endgame solution, but because we think they’re a step in the right direction and we wanted to encourage the market to follow their lead.

  And buying a car is not an investment. It’s not like we own Tesla stock.

  One thing I did really, really like about buying a car from Tesla is that they don’t use a dealership model. What a breath of fresh air! I never want to buy from a dealer ever again if I can help it. But I think the next time we’re in the market, we’ll buy used anyway.
