Sigh, wrong wrong wrong, this isn’t how you get kids to clean their room, this is how you get ANYONE to clean there stuff up haha.

In general most of this is year-round stuff, not XMas specific. People almost always have too much food prepped when providing for others for instance. What I will say though is that the majority of the earth killing waste is further upstream, “I” can *sometimes* choose the more efficient shipping @ Amz, but how much…

This wasn’t exactly what I expected, but I like the concept. Our family has something similar in place on weeknights, but its so limited by other activities, that Unlimited boils down to an hour at max.  Weekends are a different beast, and I think applying some of this could be useful to our goals, perhaps even more…

Reading about this briefly on another site, let me know how much negative stuff is in the air, I smiled so hard, legit happy for them, and wishing we had more positive stories like this. I HATED the whole Offset/Cardi stuff - I was cheering for them, we need more celebs of colors to show off positive marriages, and…

ah yes “C is for chemical chemically”

More blunt than I was going to word it, but pretty spot on conceptually. In a situation where you’ve previously conceded or not leaned into a fight, and it’s brought up as fodder for a current fight, then that is less about the fight, and more about toxicity - with the exception of the fight really being a conceptual…

The other part of it is - like in this case, we now literally will have the music equivalent of “Patent Trolls”, families of deceased musicians who will chase down every piece of music that even remotely sounds similar, not even sampled, and sue - and lets keep it a buck, the courtroom tie-up will last longer than a lo…

Yep, exactly, no good ever comes out of it. A LONG time ago I stopped worrying about “Am I right/wrong”, I purposely even say out loud “You’re right” or “I’m wrong” - just to defuse situations. The ONLY arguments that really get me gassed and I have a hard time getting out of, are when I feel ‘attacked’ as a person or…

I have (1) primary rule about fights with my wife.

My goals are kind of spacey right now. I’ve done good and bad this year in general, but ultimately playing the good Samaritan is preventing any real growth (few details, letting a relative stay rent-free at our townhouse). I’ve brought on a lot of debt over the past 24 months, mostly driven by investing into myself,…

While I don’t agree with the FOX angle (though get it), everything else is pretty spot on. Where has being bipartisan gotten the nation? It’s let the republicans make money today at the sake of the future, and destroyed what little moral ground we (US) stand on.

There are really (2) main types of people you will find at a fast food joint, someone wanting something quick and someone wanting something cheap. The problem is the people who are looking for cheap, are simply being left in the cold. I’ve got no qualms if I felt the cost was going directly towards paying a living…

I think/feel, most people have it wrong, and are blaming/worried about the wrong thing. Cellphones are not inherently evil, an 8 year old with a cellphone is not inherently worse off than a 10-year old, and that 10-year old is not worse off than the 16 year old. It’s flawed thinking that “access” is damnation.

As someone who used to Main Panda in the TTT days, this makes me happy...

I feel weird about the series. I watched it when in college (00-05), and loved some aspects of it, but got “lost” by some of what was going on, and when I got to episodes 25 and 26, was very much like “WTF is this sh!t”. The movies came and we got the modified ending and I was still like “Wait what?”, and was stuck…

...so at first I said no...

I can’t tell if its the sites I travel or if its real, but I feel like conservatives are giving her more light than she is even going for. I keep reading about clapbacks (always on the political side - good sh!t), not her original post. Feels like they should have realized by now she aint for play-play, and should…

I’m no-pro with the legal system, but wouldn’t it actually be in his best interest to serve time for the crime? With everything else they are bringing him in on, he is already serving time, most likely wouldn’t they be able to parley serving his sentences concurrently so that the 1-3 years he’d serve for this would…

I think the last paragraph actually mentions why its still good to eat lettuce. Why do alot of people over eat? They eat too much, too fast, slowing down the process is part of what people need, and lettuce does that. From a flavor profile, it also acts like chip to salsa, its less about what the chip taste like, and…
