I do for certain local mom and pop places because then they remember me and give me extra fries/rice/extras and orders seem to go a little faster. With a chain, nah.

Megasota

I use it at home. I buy the no-salt version of everything whenever possible and then add salt as needed when cooking. My system doesn’t do so great with processed food, so 90% of what I eat is home cooked.

Depending on who it is, I either ask them how they’ve been, apologize for who I was back then, or turn 360° and moonwalk out of there

I was late to the cell phone game and never got a “nice” dumb phone. I had a crappy TracFone. Reception was okay. Texting was torture. Bought an HTC Droid around 2010-2011 and never looked back.

Sometimes it is, but that’s part of why it’s so valuable.

I post a picture using the embed picture feature and it doesn’t work right. A while back I posted a comment breaking down some math about some kind of employment/cost of living/rent issue and my math was all wrong and I couldn’t make my brain work enough to fix it. Etc. Just frustrating and embarrassing.

Man I give up trying to comment here, everything I do on the fediverse ends up messed up somehow. Despite my family’s insistence to the contrary I may actually be stupid.

Sounds good to me and I’m a couple letters behind Gen Z. Either the scenes don’t do anything for me, in which case they’re boring, or they do something for me, in which case…what do I do when it’s over? Do I pause and go take care of it, or sit there all hot and bothered while somebody talks about business stuff or getting the bad guys or whatever? Either way it’s annoying. And I’m no prude, it’s just, if I want to see sex I’ll just watch porn. But I’m not watching porn, I’m trying to watch a story. IDK. It’s like if the mall decided every store needed a stripper pole.

Face scrubber. I was given a small crocheted dish scrubber - sort of like these - made from very soft tulle. It’s too soft to be effective on dishes, but it works perfectly on my face.

Hey, almost everybody has a butt. That might be one of the few things we can unify around.

Unsurprising. $78k/yr comes out to $2194/mo take home pay per Smartasset’s calculator. Average rent is well over $1k/mo with no signs of going down any time soon. Landlords frequently demand potential renters have an income of 3x the rent. Gotta live somewhere.

Apparently I’m stupid but I’m too tired to fix it rn so I will just leave my shame up here for all to see. My point is being alive is expensive and bad math or no I’m still not surprised to see this.

Edit again because I’m also too stupid to do a strikethrough correctly even with a formatting bar right there. FML and F this phone too, I’m going to bed

Serious question for you OP and I ask it in a spirit of… possible solidarity? Anyway: I tend to word things clumsily, flub delicate social situations, and just generally put my foot in my mouth at the worst possible time. It’s worse in high pressure situations. Are you like this too, and if so, do you worry a lot about unintentionally sabotaging your livelihood or relationships?

If you’re not home and the neighbor notices something suspicious happening at your house, they could call the cops/call you, or they could just pretend they didn’t see it because FU. If your mailbox is on the other side of the street in someone else’s lawn, they could weed whack carefully around it or they could “”“accidentally”“” damage the post every time. They could pick up their dog’s shit or they could send their dog over to use your yard. While all of those negative outcomes could be solved with security cameras and at worst a trip to small claims court, it’s still a hassle. Just depends on what’s worth more to you.

The panther is like a leopard,
Except it hasn’t been peppered.
Should you behold a panther crouch,
Prepare to say Ouch.
Better yet, if called by a panther,
Don’t anther.

Yes exactly. Apologies for the wordiness.
