This should be starred more. When I was in college, I lived below a girl who was into modern dance, which she would practice CONSTANTLY in our 75-year-old dorm. After weeks of just dealing with it, I finally went upstairs, knocked on her door, and super politely asked her to practice in the common room instead. She…

Why did you even read this article if it clearly doesn’t apply to you? Were you just sitting there rubbing your hands together like a housefly, thinking ‘Oooo, I’m gonna hop into the comments section of that article so I can tell all those millennials how they’re all DUMMIES for taking out student loans back when they…

A previous apartment of mine was so badly infested in the summers that I almost lost my mind because of the constant dive-bombing and the buzzing noise and the smell and the stress of always looking for a solution. Where I live now, we get maybe a few a month (even one a couple days ago - I’ve no idea how they survive…

Oh ha ha yeah, I can see that being an issue for them. Ooo - or you could try and convince them that you’re going all ‘two birds, one stone’ and ALSO solving the rat problem by giving them gainful employment clearing the ice off the sidewalks. Maybe the rats just need jobs to keep them from turning to crime.

My personal favorite salt alternative is black oil sunflower seeds. It’s not as cheap as the free sand my town gives out, but here’s why I like it: 1) provides grip; 2) black helps the sun melt the ice; 3) the birds pecking at the ice helps break it up; 4) makes the birds happy; 5) when I spread it, I like to go…

Also, I think a lot of women probably associate these dresses more with 70s fashion than they do with Little House. Like, these dresses look nothing like ‘authentic’ prairie dresses, but they definitely look a lot more like the 70s interpretation of prairie dresses/Gunne Sax dresses. 

What if we, like, just bring a child with us? You know, like when you get free entry to places when you bring a food pantry donation. So someone else raises and takes care of the child, but we just find one and bring it. Win-win - we get to live in this nice town, they get those kids they want. ‘Cause honestly, I feel…

I find the term ‘desire path’ strangely creepy. We just call these ‘cow paths’ where I’m from. I love them - I think that every engineer in charge of placing paved paths should revisit their sites six months later and pave the cow paths that have cropped up.

In my first apartment right out of college, I was burgled by my next-door-neighbor when I went home for Christmas because my landlord had given him a key so he could do some maintenance tasks before I moved in.

Be careful of some of these linguistic recommendations. About a year ago, my company went around and told everyone to say ‘What questions do you have?’ instead of ‘Does anyone have any questions?’ and it feels so corporate and so artificial. I don’t think anybody actually senses any real semantic difference between…

And when/if they do, I am SO READY to be a clinic escort.

I don’t care about this - I want Netflix to release stats on how many people only watched the few seconds of Outlaw King where you were supposed to be able to see Chris Pine’s wee bandit.

I haven’t heard this song but I keep hearing about it and....is it based on the old song that people like me who went to summer camp in the 80s & 90s used to sing at summer camp and you’d do the little things with your hands and arms? If so, how did that become a pop song? When do we get to see the pop song version of…

I just found them on amazon as well! They have both disposable ones that you can stick on and reusable ones that you can pin in!

And apparently on amazon in both disposable/adhesive and reusable/pin-in form!

I grew up in the 80s and the term is familiar to me, but I don’t think I really understood what they were until just now, and holy shit I want some. I’m so tired of constantly ruining my cheap cotton tees with the sweat and/or antiperspirant stains that build up over time. And then I’m faced with the fact that I now…

That’s what I found curious as well - if they’re so concerned about actually predicting abuse, why didn’t they train the AI on a dataset composed of posts by actual abusers and just say ‘hey, see if you can find any common factors here’? Honestly, though, it sounds like they don’t know themselves what their goal is -…

As someone who cares very passionately for my neighborhood squirrels, let me say please do not feed the rich to squirrels. Even squirrels don’t deserve that. Please instead find some way to compost the rich* and grow walnut trees, as walnuts are very nutritious for squirrels.

Oh my god, we should be best friends! In case you haven’t already seen it, the Monterey Bay Aquarium currently has a Mola Mola in their Open Sea exhibit and you can see it occasionally swim by here. I like to leave it open on an extra monitor while I’m working and I get so happy every time the sunfish swims by!
