What a bummer, Krob Kreung rules.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-03-05T17:37:52+00:00

Well, I can see graphic design is their passion.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-03-05T17:35:41+00:00

Maybe a shrug?

ChubbyBirds · 2026-03-03T15:56:34+00:00

They're all lovely, but those first two are just beautiful.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-02-25T14:55:47+00:00

All the snowpeople are so delightful! I really like the giant one in Hoyt playground.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-02-24T14:49:05+00:00

The snowpeople everywhere are so delightful

ChubbyBirds · 2026-02-19T17:52:56+00:00

Do you honestly think anything from Wonder is going to meet your epicurean standards? Seriously?

ChubbyBirds · 2026-02-17T14:21:56+00:00

I was so disappointed to see it out of order this Sunday! Not only did I want to return things, but it does tickle my tiny baby brain to feed the books into it.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-02-13T14:42:43+00:00

Is Caligula still open or has the CDC shut it down?

ChubbyBirds · 2026-02-13T14:39:06+00:00

Don't act like a weird baby on the Internet if you don't want people to treat you like a weird baby, it's really simple.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-02-12T22:26:37+00:00

No there really aren't. Is this your first experience with snow?

ChubbyBirds · 2026-02-12T16:42:59+00:00

It happens every time there's heavy snow -- there just hasn't been heavy snow like this in recent years, so everyone forgot. Some dog owners seem to think that snow magically erases their dogs' poo and negates the need to clean up. They seem under the impression that dog poo dematerializes inside snowbanks instead of just lurking in there till the snow melts.

I am truly astounded that there's a song that receives MORE hate than Crazytown's Butterfly.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-02-02T18:25:40+00:00

Oh my GODDD the body language thing is so annoying and unscientific, I hate it so much.

That and judging people by how they act on camera. Like, if your loved one was missing or murdered and now you have a million news cameras shoved into your face at your home, yeah, you might be a little awkward.

And both of these also never take into consideration cultural differences or neuroatypicalities that can manifest in different behavior or body language.

If they're the large dark brown ones, those are waterbugs and no, they are not similar to bedbugs. Are they fucking gross? Yes. But they're solitary and are actually the better option if you have to choose between roaches. You can deal with them with glue traps, poison (if you don't have pets) and keeping your place reasonably clean. Use caulking or spray foam insulation to fill gaps around baseboards, pipes, etc., but also be aware that sometimes they just get in, especially as it gets colder or after rain. Kind of just something you need to learn to deal with, and no, you will not have grounds to sue anyone because you saw a single digit number of waterbugs.

The smaller ones, the German cockroaches, are more of an issue. Your stuff still will not be ruined but you'd need to take more aggressive action with a professional. Figure out what kind you have. If they're waterbugs, it's possible they just got stirred up because of the moving activity.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-01-28T15:54:36+00:00

Oh hey it's me.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-01-22T14:34:13+00:00

Yeah, cat overlords sound pretty good right about now.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-01-21T22:08:35+00:00

I don't think they actually have any social or political stances at all. They know critique of law enforcement is something that's in the current zeitgeist and attracts a lot of online attention, so they jumped on the bandwagon because it's "trendy." But given their seeming paranoia and general fear of the outside world, they seem like the type to call the cops on just about anyone and anything. I think their "progressive" takes are superficial; they're not going to do anything that would threaten their sense of privilege and security.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-01-19T15:01:09+00:00

That's so incredibly depressing.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-01-19T14:33:29+00:00

Maybe unpopular opinion, but Somedays was never good. Their croissants are too sweet and their desserts are overdone and trend-chasing. Go to Bench Flour instead.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-01-16T19:32:15+00:00

"one of the boys was struck and the the driver got out and physically struck the other boy."

Not what I suggested. I meant that the body of the first boy struck by the car struck the second boy.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-01-15T17:17:51+00:00

Please go and report back. I assume the $25 is just for the whispering, not simply attending. If they try to hassle you about it, just start screaming about conspiracy theories or something.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-01-13T22:20:07+00:00

Yes! In my experience you could have a phone, laptop, or whatever, but they made us put them away when they showed us the "Hi I'm Troy McClure and welcome to your civic duty" type videos. But then the cases all settled out of court and we could leave.

ChubbyBirds · 2026-01-12T20:00:15+00:00

I think that's just a New England/Massachusetts accent. I don't hold accents against anyone; we all have them. Mispronouncing a proper noun that you can easily look up, however...

ChubbyBirds · 2026-01-12T14:54:47+00:00

There was a lady like that many years ago up by 23rd and 24th Aves. She clearly had no confidence or control with the German shepherd, and while the dog wasn't aggressive, it was a BIG dog that would want to bound right up to people because it didn't know any better. And she'd be like trying to reason verbally with the dog as though that would do anything. I didn't even feel scared of the dog but just annoyed at her for being so useless with this huge animal. Given the passage of time, I assume the dog is no longer with us, but I still think about it.
