My spouse and I have been doing some restructuring of our finances now that they have a new job as of a month ago. We’ve been doing an equitable split of our finances based on income which involved us taking inventory of everything we’re paying every month....
i have perhaps the most important social obligation possible—meeting my SO (who I have been dating for 5 years and engaged with for 2 1/2 years)—so that will largely and unfortunately preclude me posting or doing much here on account of living out of a hotel for the next seven or so days. it’s also just a good idea to take...
I worked for many years (hundreds of hours) locating, remastering and uploading content for a fan-based YouTube channel named ‘R.E.M. Archive’. I did 99% of the work and was happy to do this for the huge fan base. I believe the channel existed for about 6 years or so....
Check it: colons are incredibly useful for introducing new ideas or adding emphasis. And the way people talk on the internet could use significantly more clarity: you can ramble and ramble, and just talk about whatever, expand on your point, really beat that dead horse, and then take a short break. But using colons allows you to...
“Anti-semitism” is a frightening word. It harkens back to imagery of leather boots, supremacy and the Holocaust. For years and years the word has meant one thing and one thing only: prejudice and hatred against Jews....
I find myself needing to read things that don’t have emotional weight for me. I have noticed that most of the articles and sites I frequent when I’m bored, even the previously neutral-feeling ones, are bringing up Tough Feelings for me lately. I need less triggering stuff to waste time looking at, when I’m too tired for...
So last week I ordered some new earplugs for concerts, bandpractice and such, and they have failed to arrive. I’m a pretty patient dude so I wait for a couple of days thinking it’s just taking a bit longer....
I need help with a vital fall conundrum: what to put on the potatoes I’m roasting. I’m bored of my go-tos and seeking new ideas for low-effort cookie sheet flavors. Dump all your favorite spices, spice combos, and potato opinions here.
Anyone having issues with Jerboa on Beehaw today? Mine just opens and crashes. Did the clear cashe and storage thing. No effect. Have not tried reinstall.
So I was on a walk to my town’s downtown, and along the way I spotted this really low-key retail store with 1950s architecture with just 1 car parked in a parking lot that could only fit 3 cars. It had the world’s smallest logo but I could barely read “video store” and I had to double take. Like it makes sense that some...
Phones are getting better support lives these days, but they still physically outlast their software support. How important is that safety net/blanket for you?
I brought everyone together to reminisce over memories and yearbook photographs. We learned where some people went off to and that a couple died, did drugs, became strippers, et cetera. lol It really did feel like we were in high school again, except we were of drinking age. I talked to people that I actually didn’t talk to in...
I feel lost sometimes. I’m an ethnic minority in s country I consider my home, and in recent years I’ve seen conflicts surge especially with the rise of outspoken xenophobia paired with economic troubles. I thought I could change this when I was in my twenties. I got involved with migrants rights organizations. I volunteered...
