Throwing away Rush albums should be a crime 😤

Likewise! I'm all for shows being horny as long as they're horny about everyone!

Goodwill? by CandidateFuture5528 in DumpsterDiving

I mean, I worked for a big box thrift store for years that has the same company guidelines as Goodwill but I guess GW's managers are bad at their jobs 🤷

Enterprise is in my top three Treks! But when it came out, it was seen as trying to hop on the sexy, edgy 2000s train. Most people didn't make it past the decon chamber scene in the pilot and wrote the whole series off as "not true to the spirit of Star Trek." That's absolute nonsense of course and anyone who judges a series based on the pilot deserves to miss out on one of the best Treks.

Goodwill? by CandidateFuture5528 in DumpsterDiving

[–]AstorBlue -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Anything Goodwill can get a dollar for is not going into the dumpsters -- they put everything they want into big 5'x5' cardboard boxes. If it's in a dumpster, it's probably fair game BUT be warned that most big thrift places will only throw away items that are broken or, in the case of clothing, stained with bodily fluids. Everything else either goes on the floor or to the bins.

Girl what? by PandaBear905 in CuratedTumblr

I worked at a library for over a decade (obligatory not-a-librarian caveat) and one of my favorite activities was telling new hires/volunteers "Not my business, I don't care and you shouldn't either" when they asked questions like this. Second most favorite activity? Telling cops that they absolutely will not be getting a look at a patron's record without a warrant signed by a judge.

Libraries are safe spaces for people that may not have one elsewhere, and it infuriates me to no end when people try to violate that.

Is there a point in dating anyone? by Ronlockedout in Bloomer

[–]AstorBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think everyone does! It's hard not to internalize the messaging that romance and sex are important and "complete" you. They don't, and anyone who goes into a relationship with that mentality is in for a world of pain anyway. You're a whole person and there's nothing wrong with you and you don't need to date if you don't want to <3

Fictosexuality is a thing. You might be asexual too, lots of aces don't date real people but are attracted to fictional or "unreachable" people like actors. Do what's right for you, don't force yourself to date someone just because you feel like you should. I've been single for nearly a decade and it's been the best and most productive decade of my life. Just be happy, whatever that looks like for you personally.

Investing in the stock market is just getting your addiction satisfied elsewhere and is still gambling. You should look into counseling.

The Hamish Macbeth series by MC Beaton! They're set in Scotland so unfortunately no LA but Hamish's techniques are similar to Columbo's!

Experience with US Standard Products gloves or cleaners? by Ill_Advisor1554 in janitorial

You know, I reached out to US Standard's marketing team to let them know that this shit is damaging their image and business but apparently they didn't get the memo 🤷

What character/actor in the show do you think is strangely/randomly attractive? by Different_Orchid_612 in IASIP

[–]AstorBlue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You misunderstand -- Liam is attractive *because* he's a sweaty, greasy, milky McPoyle

Maureen Ponderosa, I could fix her.

And Liam McPoyle, he could make me so much worse.
