  Okay, I’ll try it like this. The next thing I was going to try was sticking them in a box, individually packed in newspaper. I think straw is what was used in ye olden times, but newspaper would be easier to source these days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Potatoes ftw⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine are stored in their bag, too, but seem to go mushy after two weeks, so I have been looking for other solutions. Is there anything in particular you’re doing when storing them in their bag?

  Sure, there are those parents. And there are a lot of parents like the ones in the article. Saying it isn’t so and covering your ears doesn’t change the fact that this is an experience a lot of people are having.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We won’t have it directly because the boomers have decided consistently across the decades to leave younger generations with nothing. This is just the latest version of that, except now they’re doing it directly to their own children and yeah, it can smart. It’s valid to express frustration at a generation that was handed everything, is leaving nothing, and now they’re doing it in a more personal way.

  Every other generation before and after them seem to be on the same page as far as accumulating enough to leave for the next generation so they can have better lives than you had. But not the Boomers, never them. They’re going to get theirs and they deserve to have ALL of it. The next gen can earn their own way just like they had to, after all. Even though they voted away all opportunities to do that, and passing along generational wealth has always been a big key to any kind of success.

  I think you’re mistaken about the tiktok thing, but okay. I’ve seen it play out in real time. The whole platform thrives on making/discovering a niche and plumbing it for as much content as you can. Pinterest also plays into that. I also think blaming it on a generation thing isn’t accurate, its just ‘old man yells at cloud’ instead of bringing substantial analysis to a discussion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon on hobby communities⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The tiktok-ification of fucking everything into a trend is the worst in regards to this. The last few years, it feels like any time I’m interested in picking up a hobby that seems like it would/should be cheap and simple to get into, tiktokers have already blown through, turned something into a ‘-core’ for content, and left nothing but over-inflated prices in their wake.

  Again, not according to the meme as posted. Kinda my point.

  Just want to plug the movie and book How to Blow Up a Pipeline. Also the book Rattling the Cages.

  Who are you supposed to vote for when both parties drift right indefinitely?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iraq War was preceded by the largest worldwide non-violent protests in history and the war happened anyway.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s two episodes in the podcast Cool People who did Cool Things that talks about basically that in regards to the violent wing of the nonviolent civil rights movement. You need both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally c/THE_PACK⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The change to be made does not lie with those that aren’t sexist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally c/THE_PACK⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then let’s post memes to that effect :)

  We can start with the boys in your meme, chief

  Girls boring 🙄 Boys boys quirky 🤪

  Hahaha “innocent”. Ever had life saving medicine or treatment denied by your insurance? You will, one day. And that’s not me wishing you ill, that’s just how wide spread and devastating this issue is. Inevitably it will happen too you. Maybe you won’t think these people are so innocent then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooh, yeah, Talos Principle! Perfect rec for someone who loved Nier and Portal. I haven’t played the sequel yet, but really really enjoyed the first game. I agree about some of the puzzles, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For you, a little extra spoiler: the next ending also isn’t the end, there’s a lot more. I will admit that playing the second run is a big grindy at first, but it quickly differentiates itself from your first run by the time you get to the first boss. Also, in the second run, the side quests are crucial.

  An extra-extra spoiler: there’s a lot to dig your teeth into, philosophically, that makes the whole rigmarole worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Trump's Tariffs Could Cost Gamers Billions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, gamer gate was one of the things that lead to Trump being elected in the first place. Plus the outcry that still happens when BIPOC, LGBT, or women protagonists are used. Hell, just look at any steam discussion board sometime and you’ll see it.

  As someone who games, gAmERs are the fucking worst

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand his coworker⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand what you’re saying, but there’s also a huge stigma around being a girl and leading with the fact that you have an SO. Like most things socially for women, it feels like you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t when trying to befriend men most of the time.

  I’ve personally tried both methods throughout my life, and have lost every friendship with men I’ve tried to have because of it. It gets pretty lonely, since the other women in my immediate community aren’t really interested in my gaming hobbies. I end up a lot like this girl on the post, with no friends of either gender.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand his coworker⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone keeps saying she was flirting, but I really think she was just trying to make a friend, but everyone saw ‘flirting’ because of their genders. The post literally says she has no friends.

  This is why women tend to be wary of friendships with guys; any time we do, we get come on to because any amount of friendly interaction is perceived as flirting, or ditched because the guy we thought we were trying to befriend finds out we have a boyfriend.

  Shit, if I were this girl who struggled to make friends, thought I had found one finally, but get friend-dumped when they find out they can’t fuck me (for the millionth time in her life, I’m sure), I’d probably quit, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel this way about cinnamon.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, for sure. Like I said, I like apples in it pretty well, and I’m sure raisins at mostly fine. I just don’t like raisins in any context lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel this way about cinnamon.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m sure its mostly fine, is just personal preference for me. I don’t like raisins at all. But I bet dried mango or something would be good

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel this way about cinnamon.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know the Japanese will dead ass put apple and raisins in some variations of their curry. Apple is pretty good, adds a sweetness that isn’t overbearing. Raisins, though I will never understand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Funny but it's not funny.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that’s a crazy choice. I kinda wish I had had my tubes tied like many of my friends did when Roe was overturned. But then I wouldn’t have my wonderful baby son. It’s hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Funny but it's not funny.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s truly awful. I can’t look anyone in their eyes. All I can think about are how many of them voted my rights away by electing Trump again. I’ve never felt so isolated and desperate. I’m in a red state that outvoted Democrats 2:1, so it’s extra bad.

  I’m feeling like I never want to participate in community things around here ever again. No handing out candy, no helping neighbors shovel their snow, no making friends without asking who they fucking voted for. Hell, I don’t even want to travel to see my R-voter relatives for the holidays. I’m putting all visits on hold, which is gonna really piss them of, because this is the first grandkid’s (our son) first holidays.

  To be honest, I’m feeling sick for even choosing to have him despite my better judgment, which is the worst feeling to have while looking at your baby. It was in a period of hope that maybe we’d be able to overcome that orange fucker’s influence, but now look where we are. I feel like I’ve sentenced him to a fate worse than death to have brought him into this world at this time in this country. Especially with the climate certainly being extra fucked now.

  FUCK THIS.
