- Comment on I just want juice, is that so much to ask? 3 days ago:
this is exactly how I feel about sugar in tomato sauce.
I make it myself and dont add sugar. Was at someones house during dinner the other week. they made food for everyone. They used Jar sauce… 8mg of sugar per 1/2cup serving of sauce. 8! And they added so much salt on top, I called it a fasting day and didnt have any supper over there
I dont understand how people live like that. Reminds me of years ago I met people who would put cows milk and sugar in their kids’ sippy cups :(
so much sugar is unpalatable.

and it’s expensive! So a treat, and I like to mix it with sletzer water to help savor it and not sugar bomb myself!

- Comment on Anon changes his strategy 2 weeks ago:
Hell, even in healthy relationships. I noticed my husbands mental health was getting rough, so I tried to bring it up. He got so defensive so fast, tried to flip it on me when he got panicky.
We talked that incident out, but people seem to generally just get defensive about sensitive things all the time, like reflexively. Unless you’ve done extensive inner work, it’s how it goes. How many avoidants walk this earth christ

- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 1 month ago:
Ooo ooo I love good work boots!
I bought these in 2015 for work. I left that job in 2020, and I wore these like three times since. Pulled them out this winter for my son to wear as the fit him right now, (he’s growing and blowing through shoes).
How bloody happy I am that after ten years, they are still holding up! You can see some of the leather is wearing, but they’re soaked on the outside in these photos, bone dry in the inside.
Fuck inflation though, I paid $120 for these back then, the same boots, I looked them up, today, are $230. Wild. No way I can buy these kind ever again, I’m so happy they have lived so long my son is now getting life out of them! Will definitely be getting these repaired when the time comes!
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 1 month ago:
Those look good to me. I wear the shit out of my shoes.
Fresh clean shoes are lame. I like looking down at my feet and seeing all the life and work I’ve worn into my shoes. I’ve a pair of boots for snow, a pair of sneakers, and one pair of sandlas. That’s it- if you invited me to something fancy, well, I won’t be invited anywhere fancy I assure you. I’m 38 and never even been to a single wedding. Ha.
- Comment on Those of you who are angry at the US for allowing ICE to stifle people's liberties - how do you channel your anger and irritation? 1 month ago:
You’re probably doing better than you give yourself credit for.
Make space in your day to do something you want, anything, even if for only 5-10 mins. My husband has spent the last year or more rebuilding his sport’s card collection. We’ve a small house so he’s turned our small little “walk in” closet into his “office” or card room. Sometimes I find him just, sitting in there, decompressing. It’s his happy place. Whether in your mind or a tangible spot, get you a happy place, if even only for temporary relief.
Hang in there, maybe we can get some hope back this year.

- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
So many! I think it was possibly, a almost pop culture trend in the 70s to claim native history tbh. So many folks I met who do this would have been teens/young adults in that time. But you’re probably right, it’s some warped cope for the atrocities committed against native people. Fucking warped.

- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
You’re not wrong, this is totally a thing. I’m a euro mutt (I coin for myself) and I can trace some lines.
It’s because were all immigrants in a young country. Even the census we take asks where we hail from. I’ve maked “American” on it the last two times. It is a deal here, and yes it can be annoying especially when you get the tropes going. “Oh my family is Italian we like big families” mean while I’m fourth gen Italian (mixed obvs) and like what, are you inbreeding to stay Italian? Your husbands last name is “smith” like, fuck off. My full first gen Italian great grandmother married a first gen polack and had one kid. One. Fuck off with your stereotypes. This bitch I’m thinking of feed her kids all the american processed foods, give no fucks about the quality of her food ingredients or where they come from, just fuck off “were Italian” bitch shut up.

My cheap phone plan came with 10gb of data until they throttled the speed to a crawling pace. 10gb isn’t a lot to run for home Internet.

When I was working for a 100% employee owned manufacturing company, if the town’s school closed for weather, we shut our shop down too. It was really cool and very helpful for parents.

People able to pay money, to have their voice louder than the rest, is one of the many current plagues throughout our societies right now. I don’t think gold or awards would be good at all for the fediverse. Please dear satan, no
- Comment on What types of cleaning products do you *really* need to clean the bathroom? 3 months ago:
No, it’s general cleaner/disinfectant. It’s called Pinesol because there is pine oil in it. The name brand stuff no longer has real pine oil, it’s not that sustainable, but the store brand I get does. Here’s the label
- Comment on What types of cleaning products do you *really* need to clean the bathroom? 3 months ago:
When I moved into my husband’s house, I noticed he only used pinesol. I thought it fucking weird. 6 years later, I only use pinesol.
I clean relatively often. I’ll use bleach in the bathroom once a year maybe, the rest of the time it’s Pinesol. We have a litter box in our bathroom, that I clean 3 times a week, and usually just clean the whole bathroom down at the same time. It’s clean in there.
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 3 months ago:
My own thoughts and inspirations come to me most often in the quiet times. I like saying hello to the birds. If I feel exhausted, I count my footsteps like you would music. 1234, 2234, 3234, 4234, and so on. I like hearing the winds, the trees crack as they sway, the squirrels hunting their forage. I listen out for other voices, and enjoy feeling connected to the rest of the world, a desire driven by isolation and loneliness, rarely do I find that sense of community in a podcast. The old man who walks my neighborhood every morning, does not have in headphones, he waves and smiles to every passerby, sometimes, his simple gesture, is the only kind/happy moment of my day.
People are different, it may be boring for you, but my ADD keeps my brain busy, and my CPTSD has me want to hear my surroundings vividly. I jump scare very easily, to avoid that, I use the power of, hearing one coming. I know I’m boring, but I don’t think it’s because I don’t listen to stuff while walking. Nothingness carries something within it, the interpretation only being found by the self. And to note, when I was younger I always had music. Things have just changed with age, it’s shocking I know, but as time moves, I want to slow it down, and appreciate everything I can. I crave quiet more than ever.
My husband is completely different, and more like you, where he spends most of his waking hours listening to podcasts and such. People are different, and that doesn’t make one better than the other.
You don’t have to tear others down, to make yourself feel better. I could call you a robot (hypothetically, I’m not, do you) for putting in your headphones like everyone else does. I’m on our states University campus kind of often. The amount of young people with headphones in, eye on screens, even as they get their meals or cross the street, is very odd to see for me. It honestly feels a bit like culture shock everytime I am up there. They walk into staff without looking or apologizing, and if you people watch for an hour or so, you’ll notice the majority plug themselves in. While I don’t think one is better than the other, it’s just different process. I find it amusing you call the ones who unplug robots however. We used to clown of people who had Bluetooth ear pieces in the early 00’s, it was the universal sign someone was a douche. Now everyone has airpods and the like. White socks, white shoes, white earbuds, head down in screen, it’s the standard look at the university by me.
It’s just amusing to see how things have changed in 25 years, from bluetooth sales douches, to today being called a robot for not plugging in, and instead paying attention to one’s environment out and about.
