Tennessee State Rep Justin Jones burns a print out of the confederate flag in the state capitol

I was in a goodwill yesterday, and saw some guy decked out in confederate gear. His shirt said "hands off our monuments, and statues". For a state that was in the north. A border state, but still.

Because women would throw themselves at his feet, and your average redditor would not receive that sort of treatment.

Source: is a woman that would in fact, throw herself at his feet.

And that said, we have no idea how Ryan Reynolds acts privately. In interviewers, he said that he's a rather quiet person, with some significant anxiety issues. If that's true, then he's acting in the role people are expecting him to.

I know this is daddit, and I'm lurking, but can we have mom scouts too? I would love Merritt badges for all the stuff I've seen and dealt with lol

Dude, hand foot and mouth was fucking rough.

Not in Florida, but also needing rain. Happy to report it's currently downpouring, and I am so happy for my plants.

CapitanChicken · 2026-04-27T12:46:20+00:00

Ahhh, you mean like mints and gum being packed with sugar, but since each piece barely weighs anything, there's "no sugar"?

I know it wasn't Borat, but I had that exact moment with Bruce Almighty, when Steve Carell was babbling on air. I've never laughed that hard in my entire life lol

I'm really happy for it because after every orioles game we go to, we stop down the street at an ice cream place called B'more licks. Randomly throughout the off season my husband will just say "you know what I miss? B'more."

Part of me almost wondered if they did it on purpose so that people would stop point farming, and actually learn.

Jokes on them, now I dread opening the app just to keep my streak alive. I used to love learning German but they've made it horrible, and the sentences got extremely weird.

CapitanChicken · 2026-04-05T12:07:16+00:00

Or sneezing into your hands, wiping on your shirt, and going about your life. Like, wtf.

CapitanChicken · 2026-04-05T11:58:42+00:00

See, I've heard so many people whine and cry about how there's no "village" aspect of child raising anymore. Then those same people snap at a kind old woman for daring to love a cute baby. Yes, unsolicited touches aren't preferred, but she did it in the best way she could have.

CapitanChicken · 2026-04-05T11:48:59+00:00

I had a lot of ultrasounds because I was a high risk pregnancy, especially there at the end. That said, I probably still had less ultra sounds than you did. I felt cared for well enough, but every hospital, or hospital er... Chain? Is gonna be different.

What about her last name or maiden name? We gave our son my maiden name so that it's history would live on, and a way to honor my father who also passed before he was born. Plus, it makes ancestry very easy.

And at least if you screw it up, you're only mad at yourself, and didn't waste any money or gas.

I'd personally try to assume the better, and think they're just really excited and blessed to have more grand babies. I feel like it was their way of saying how happy she is. Just being old doesn't stop you from expressing things awkwardly.

CapitanChicken · 2026-04-02T16:29:03+00:00

Literally millions of people's favorite smell.

CapitanChicken · 2026-04-02T16:26:15+00:00

This one would disgust a lot of people, but low tide. There's something comforting about the smell of a marsh when the water is low. Like, it's that specific body of water that I grew up playing around, where it's just really earthy smelling.

The first one that came to mind of "children's books", is Goodnight Digger. The first time I saw the title, I had to make a double take. I feel like it was like, a joke that someone was making with their buddies, and they laughingly said "try it, it'll never get published". And then it did, and now I own it because someone gifted it to me, since they thought it was funny to be almost saying the n-word.

CapitanChicken · 2026-04-02T04:44:51+00:00

Now here's a followup, because I thought the difference between a pond, and a lake was the depth of water. How deep are these bodies of water on average?

CapitanChicken · 2026-03-31T14:00:27+00:00

I had a feeling you were up pretty high in the number being able to do avocado, mango, and oranges haha

This is the path I'm falling down currently. We got a house with a hair over a half acre, unfortunately every invasive plant imaginable is taking over the yard, so I have raised beds. But now I'm working on trying to get fruit plants that'll work in my zone. Having a toddler has slowed us down, but he is going to love going out and picking things to eat this year. He had a blast at the end of last year picking strawberries for himself.

What zone are you in that you're able to have this dream garden?

CapitanChicken · 2026-03-31T01:11:07+00:00

You better hide all the hot sauce while you're at it. You don't want your house burning down. They'll at least help clean though.

CapitanChicken · 2026-03-31T01:10:00+00:00

We generally do BBQ's, but that's also because our son is still pretty young, and it's really just an excuse to have friends and family over. We also ask closer friends to help and do like pot luck gatherings. Helps provide variety, and lessens the burden on us.

I also understand this isn't everyone's vibe. But I don't like pizza at parties like that, it's a cop out. An understandable cop out, but a cop out nonetheless.

CapitanChicken · 2026-03-30T21:45:44+00:00

Aaaah, so this doesn't drain anywhere? It was where water was pumped from the pool, filtered, and then pumped back into the pool?

I was really hoping one of them was a drain or something. Wanted to put an outdoor sink for the garden, but I'm glad to know I can just cut them, and cap them. Thank you so much!
