I love pluots and get excited on the rare occasions groceries near me have them. I’m a simple lady

scrapple is indeed disgusting, I’ll take care of all the scrapple give it to me 👍

the region i live in is my apartment so I’m voting for dairy-free basil pesto gnocchi and an ice cold monster ultra white

GO BIRDS

I’m really irritated at how depression has made me an expert in cleaning individual parts of my body to prevent stink (pits, privates, hair over side of tub, feet, etc.) all to avoid just stepping into the fuckin shower and getting it all over with at once

I was in the “I don’t brush my teeth consistently but I’ve never had a cavity so it’s probably fine” camp until I got dental insurance and found out I did, in fact, have cavities :[ they had been slowly progressing and I was lucky they got to them before they broke all the way through the enamel

if you have the means to do so, even if you have to look up dental training schools that do exams really cheap, please get your dental exams as close to biannually as you can, you’re worth it <3

*gets run over bc i didn’t want to stop and lose all my speed and the airflow keeping me uncooked*

wh— ok that explains a lot about why I’m such a pansy about heat

i wonder if stimulants are biochemically less effective in heat, or it’s just that our brains have to also deal with the sensory overload of melting to death thus eating into the medication’s mitigation of dopamine deficit… or both perhaps

*hi-fives in serial hobbyist that also just got into bicycles*

(except there’s been a heat advisory where I live for the past week so I can’t ride safely 😭)

i would like more brutalism because my country desperately needs affordable housing…

it takes getting used to for sure. it affects how you type, prepare meals, rummage around in bags, put in contact lenses and/or remove eyelashes/etc. from your eyes, and yes, how you hold the TP when you wipe.

it’s a hobby and/or fashion statement, and like many of those it has tradeoffs lol. for me long nails was a job requirement (adult entertainment) that turned into a hobby (i learned to do my own because it eliminated salon costs, then found I enjoyed it artistically)

These are genuinely pleasant to eat because you can get your mouth around the entire side of it and basically eat it like a bialy

Someone already mentioned Misty of Chincoteague so I’m gonna rep author Dick Francis, who wrote approximately one bajillion thriller/mystery novels involving racehorses

I liked them as a (vaguely horse-interested) kid

your desktop backgrounds I can’t 😂😂😂

I’m currently broke enough that I just rely on the public Xfinitywifi signal and a relative’s Xfinity login. If I need not-weird-captive-portal-internet for something, I bridge and rebroadcast the Xfinitywifi connection using my laptop.

Not exactly pirating but thought this might be a useful anecdote to share

thanks for the writeup! I dislike straws but am going to try using them for a few days to see if I notice a difference, alongside the bottle trick.

wait, i might have this problem. would you be able to describe or link to a guide on fixing it?

iron and sulfur compounds in tap water, or even some more “neutral” ones that are even in bottled water (like carbonates and magnesium), can have a really revolting taste to people who are sensitive to them

I have a friend who is so sensitive to sulfur that she had to rinse her drinking cups with filtered water before using them, just to remove the traces left by washing with tap water from the area we lived in

don’t let anyone tell you you’re crazy or overreacting. also, give distilled water a try. no, it’s not bad for you like people say–your highly acidic stomach is perfectly capable of handling the osmotic shift when drinking distilled.

no :( I play Balatro on my phone when I poop, and I boot up Minecraft about once a year…

See the common conception of boat owners is that they’re rich. And they certainly might start out that way. But a boat is a hole in the ocean into which money is thrown, and thus boat owners quickly become not rich
