I love how the bear wouldn’t touch the diet garbage.

For the uninitiated, this is more evidence to consider that—when push comes to shove—Capitalism will always side with the regressive/Right regeimes when it comes to business.

Cars continue to be insanely overpriced. So I recently bought a 2008 truck in a private sale.

If you have sick days and don’t use them, you may as well be throwing money on the ground.

I think the question is less “do I work or not work” and more “do I take a sick day or not,” as most Americans have a pretty limited supply of sick time. This is where remote work is handy if you have a mild to moderate cold, because you can stay home, avoid contaminating the office, and still not have to take a sick…

Having grown up in cold drafty apartments, & having a drafty house now, I can say with confidence that wool & hot water bottles are cheap & effective ways to keep warm.

I would be melting at 72F. Out of curiosity, where do you live? In the winter I prefer 65F but I’m married so my husband sets it at 68F and I accept it to keep the peace. At night he steals the covers from me and I’ve learned to be comfortable sleeping in cooler temperatures with limited resources.

keep doors to rooms that you’re not using closed?

Don’t forget that (someplace) there should be a written procedure or instructions and refer the incompetent back to it, and if there isn’t such documentation, that is also a good way to shed light on the real issue of lack of directions/their need of updating, laziness or true incompetence.

I deal with incompetence the say way, whether it is “weaponized” or not:

Same as you but only because my hair gets very oily in 24hr time. If I don’t wash every morning it just feels gross.

Please stop even using this horrible term. Showing up and doing your job (and nothing more) is meeting your work obligations. It shouldn’t even be a discussion.

People are filthy don’t touch them, got it. These suggestions that involve no changes in my behavior are so much easier to integrate.

I have zero regrets. In the year before the pandemic I started to get back into playing guitar after a break during my kids’ ultra-demanding baby and toddler years. Working from home gave me a lot more time to dive back in. In Jan ‘21 I added a guitar to my collection. I bought a year old barely-used Mexican…

Give yourself a break when it comes to your parenting “rules.” Sure, you may want to minimize screen time for your kids, but if you’re miserable and dead on your feet, watching a couple of episodes of Paw Patrol isn’t going to kill them. If the TV Babysitter can give you a little relief, then go for it. Likewise with…

If you recline your seat, I’m sure as hell going to use it as a crutch to support myself, because that’s the only way I can get out when the seat in front of me is reclined. I’m a human being with bones, not a goddamn octopus who can ooze through any opening, no matter how small or oddly-shaped.

Don’t carry the bag on the plane if you can’t put it in/get it out of the overhead bin.

“Do your skincare routine as you normally would, including your toner, your serums, your retinol, and even your standard moisturizer.”

That’s disgusting. Do you know what fish DO in water? 

This will never trend on TikTok because well its not dumb. If you want your skin to be more hydrated... drink water. Drinking water also has a lot of other health benefits too which is nice. Unlike lathering your face in gunk...
