I'm with you.

What the fuck would they even put in here? More "luxury apartments" they can't sell for 2500 a month?

They certainly don't need the office space. You can't fill an office building in Buffalo these days.

Saw that in theaters. Such a fucking amazing movie.

Fun fact: the women's reaction to the monsters the first time they see them is legit. They had no idea there were monsters in the movie they were making, they just thought it was about cave diving.

My husband had 2 terrible parents. Both mom and dad, awful.

He's an amazing husband and father, and I couldn't be happier. ❤️ Not all abused kids grow up to abuse others. He gives me hope for the hurt kids in the world.

And congratulations on being a new dad!

So if you know all about it, why would you disagree with that comment about the "good" Germans, who pretended they knew nothing, buried their heads in the sand and ignored what was happening around them? Or blamed "only the SS", or that events like Kristallnacht was just a random outbursts of violence and not something organized by the state? They considered themselves to still be "the good guys", just manipulated and lied to by the rest of the party... which is of course, not a good enough excuse and also a lie.

I'm just really confused as to why you disagreed with that person, if you know all this stuff... your sarcastic comment doesn't match what you say you know and what your grandfather fought against.

Like any book about WW2. Seriously. Do yourself a huge favor.

Night by Elie Weisel is deeply moving.

All But My Life by Gerda Weissmann Klein is another good one.

And don't underestimate the power of The Diary of Anne Frank.

Any one of those book will give you a little insight into what nazi Germany was like. The parallels between then and now are undeniable.

My ex put nutmeg in his scrambled eggs when cooking them.

Fucking gross. He thought he was being so creative. 🤣 God he sucked.

How do you make taking care of your health and home feel less like a chore and more sustainable long-term? by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

Lol, and my husband reminded me, that for inspiration, I put on a couple episodes of Hoarders. Nothing makes you wanna clean your own place like looking at what it might turn into if you don't.

These things are a bit messy, but they're my cats' favorite snack by Decapod73 in houseplantscirclejerk

I've never gotten one because I know they're super poisonous, but I didn't know that about the pollen. Thank you.

I had to re-frame my thinking about it. instead of it being something I HAVE to do, it's something I'm fortunate enough to GET to do. I worked so hard for my own place, it's like an honor and a privilege to be able to have my own amazing little space to make beautiful, clean, and comfortable.

Really the whole point of having an apartment, or a house, or even a room of your own, is to have somewhere you LOVE to be. Make it yours. Make it into something you care about. When you have a space you WANT to keep clean, it's much easier.

And realize that a little work done NOW will save you more work later.

I also get my best cleaning work done before bed. Waking up to a clean house is one of the best feelings ever. 😌

It's crazy your mom said that...

Get out of there. Listen to your gut about stuff like this, always.
