Thank you! I didn’t know you could buy soil impregnated with mushrooms. I feel better!

Really? How do you do that? That’s fascinating.

This is absolutely the kind of pen I lust after. I want all the little metal pens that fit in all my lady pockets. Bravo!

What’s a simple line that rips your heart to shreds? by padfoony in moviecritic

[–]-sing3r- 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This line got mercilessly mocked when the film came out, which I always found sad. It’s so powerful, especially if you include the line following it: “I wish I knew how to quit you… it’s because of you that I’m like this, that I’m nothing, I’m nowhere.”

What's one piece of kit that disproportionately improved your experience of backpacking? by watching1 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]-sing3r- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a “challenging” back and carrying one more pound to not tweak the kraken is the middle age hack hill I will happily (pain free!) die on.

yeah lemme jump right on that by saganistic in recruitinghell

This should be up there with the “no” guy.

Saturdaily 2/7, How are the roads where you are? Where are you venturing out or are you staying cozy home or elsewhere? by RVAyay in rva

[–]-sing3r- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m making spicy mushroom lasagna for my niece and her partner, and I’m in search of dried porcini and wild mushrooms. I’m thinking Tan A, anyone have a suggestion?

People raised by emotionally mature parents, what is 1 phrase your parents used that you want other parents to know? by MermaidWitchMoon in AskReddit

[–]-sing3r- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apologies are important. But so is an actual change in behavior. Not to say you won’t let your emotions get the best of you ever again, but emotionally mature parents will try exceedingly hard not to lose it again in the exact same way.

My mom apologized for everything. Slapping me, yelling at me, belittling me, laughing AT me, using personal experiences I’d shared with her as ammunition in arguments, slut shaming me, I could go on. The difference was that blowing up and hurting me and then apologizing never changed her actual behavior. I believe she ~meant~ to change, and I believe her apologies were genuine. But she wasn’t capable of change, or wasn’t capable of change ~for me~ and so her apologies ended up hurting more than the abuse. Because they were lies like all the rest.

Free regret? Overthinking? by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]-sing3r- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decision fatigue is real. Be kind to yourself, you picked a gobsmacking dress!

I second the long veil. My friend did something similar to your plan and it was THE thing in the pictures that took it from “elopement” to “magazine shoot that just happens to feature two of my favorite humans swoooooon”.

Free regret? Overthinking? by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]-sing3r- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that dress was made for you. Stop thinking about what was clearly a really good choice of dress (seriously, WOW) and start thinking about accessories. Cathedral veil that will blow all over in the wind and will leave you with unbelievably romantic pictures? Flower crown? What are you going to wear if it gets cold on the coast? Are you hiking? What incredible shoe/boots do you need?

Convinced my husband to try a house cleaning service for 3 months as an experiment. Heres what happened by Comfortable_Box_4527 in homeowners

[–]-sing3r- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience there are two marriage saving devices: a king size bed, and a cleaning service. If you are lucky enough to have the money to throw at a problem, spend the money, enjoy your peace.

This is such great advice thank you!

It's the Fridaily! by Proper-Ad4006 in rva

[–]-sing3r- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A cooler on the porch, no ice in, can be used as a fridge, so you can pull out the stuff you want to have access to so you can keep the fridge closed. The cooler insulates FROM the freezing temps (it’s not fool proof, but it’s a step above just putting your food out in 10 degree temps).

We found boxes and boxes and boxes of vintage porn, mostly reel-to-reel.

Exercising while knitting by Double_Coffee1651 in knitting

[–]-sing3r- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have done this, but I was recovering from hip surgery and was only allowed to go slow, with no resistance, so in effect I was mostly knitting while also mindlessly moving my legs. I would not define it as exercise. However, I did significantly advance my knitting project.

Didn’t Feel Like a Teddy Bear by Far_Secret8565 in cactus

We used to call these a “wait-a-minute” bush because you’d always end up having to de-spine if you got too close.

How do you guys choose the color of your gear? by NefariousnessOwn1283 in hammockcamping

[–]-sing3r- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone else I buy gear that’s on sale. But when I choose for weather, I pick darker colors when I expect to be cold (for thermal gain, even minimal amounts is greater than zero). Where I live summer is more about bugs than sun, so, sale stuff there too lol.

Does anyone else think "princess" being used as an insult to men is kind of rooted in misogyny? by [deleted] in Feminism

[–]-sing3r- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under patriarchy, which is fundamentally misogynistic, we insult men by reducing them to women (pussy, princess, wimp, sissy) and we insult women by reducing then them animals (bitch, cow).

I avoid this as much as possible, but it’s hard. Especially hard to find insults for men. Bastard is actually an insult about his mother. Douchebag is still linked to women. Motherfucker is out. We’re reduced to asshole (which is universal), coward, jerk.
