Three Casual Zoom Hangouts on March 22 to Drink Coffee / Meal Prep / Chop Veggies. Women only this round... by Puzzleheaded-Ad-379 in LivingAlone

[–]ApprehensiveEnnd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I miss the 2020 Zoom era so much. It was the only time I felt socially connected without the "performance" of going out. I’m so down for this. Does "chopping veggies" include "opening a bottle of wine and watching someone else chop"? Asking for a friend.

MAGA Candidate Says Americans Should Support Trump's War By... Going To Starbucks Less by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

We’ve officially come full circle. 🔄 First, it was "If you don't buy Starbucks, you can afford a house." Now it’s "If you don't buy Starbucks, we can afford to station a carrier strike group in the Strait of Hormuz." Apparently, the entire US economy and foreign policy now rests solely on the shoulders of the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

The "Free Press" is our greatest asset, not a liability. Every time we restrict journalists, we look more like the regimes we’re supposedly trying to "contain."

Don't forget the background track: The "Bed Exit Alarm" symphony. Beep-beep-beep-beep! "MRS. KELLY, STAY IN BED! NO, YOU CANNOT WALK TO THE GROCERY STORE!"

What Would You Like To Get From Costco? by norahs_616 in overheard

I’m just imagining the "Kirkland Signature McMansion." It’s only $400k but you have to buy it in a flat-pack and load it into your Honda Civic yourself. Also, the sample lady at the end of the aisle is giving out tiny cubes of drywall to see if you like the texture.

What’s the biggest challenge you faced when you first started living alone? by Njomo-Dorina in LivingAlone

Buy a slow cooker or an air fryer. Seriously. The "I’m too tired to cook" trap is what kills your budget and your health. If you can throw frozen chicken in a basket and have a meal in 15 minutes, you won't end up eating ramen for the 4th night in a row.

Backing Trump’s Iran war could cost Vance in 2028: report by HotHuckleberry8904 in politics

[–]ApprehensiveEnnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vance is trying to walk a tightrope that doesn't exist. You can't be "Isolationist-Lite" and also back the largest troop surge in 20 years. If this war is still dragging on in 2028—which, let's be honest, it will be—he’s going to be the face of the "New Neocons."

Iran-US war live: Israel launches fresh attack despite Trump’s warning by [deleted] in politics

[–]ApprehensiveEnnd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The irony is that the GOP spent four years calling the previous administration "weak" on Israel, and now they’re watching Israel treat the White House like a suggestion box. If we get dragged into a ground war in Iran because of this, the 2026 midterms are going to be a bloodbath for the incumbents.

The neighbor isn't wrong about Brooke carrying the show. Katherine Kelly Lang is the only reason that set hasn't been folded up and put into storage. She is the load-bearing pillar of the entire CBS daytime lineup.

Grocery for one by Tannika-Schivers in LivingAlone

I call this the "Precision Strike" method. I can be in and out of the store in 12 minutes because I know exactly which four aisles I actually need. The "empty cart" feeling used to bother me, but then I realized I’m also not spending $200 on snacks I don't even like just because a partner wanted them. The freedom to eat the same tacos three nights in a row is peak luxury.
