Thank you for saying this. I was thinking about writing a similar response (which I’m sure would have been dismissed) and you said it better than I could have.

So the person who posted these recipes hasn’t even tried them?!

I’m just boggled that the first thing that would come to anyone’s mind about this story is concern trolling about the damn fridge door handle.

I’m with you on that. When I first saw the headline, my brain read it as Japanese court.

If you hit it twice, it un-stars.

Yeah, I can’t do that either. ALL BUGS MUST GO! ASAP.

I was staying at a cheap motel, and a cockroach came into my room. I was expecting it, because the exterminators had come two days before and I wouldn’t let them spray my room b/c that shit gives me migraines. So I knew I was in for it.

I’ve seen Trader Jose’ and Trader Giotto in stores. And Ming. And Joe-san. They all exist.

That was awesome! Never heard it before. Thanks for posting this.

You don’t have any tools, tho, and you can’t bring anything back either, so it really is essentially an unguided tour. The villagers will come up to you, and you can go into houses but that’s about it as far as I can tell. Also I’ve heard that if someone uploads an updated version of their island, the code number…

Oh, my! That’s... quite the look. Yikes! I agree that cat13 should obvi be Catie.

The problematic thing about that phrase tho is I think it comes off like assuming Black people are inherently poor and trashy as the default.

You can always start with a BLM t-shirt.   :-)

Dude, I’m impressed! Bummed to hear you may be taking off. I love your tales of wrench and rust.

I have a friend who collects vintage bikes. They’re all so beautiful, but 6 is a lot!

Hauling, I’m guessing. He kinda needs to be able to do that with this hobby.
