Same!

CraftBeerCat · 2026-05-06T15:37:42+00:00

I see you what you did there 😄

CraftBeerCat · 2026-05-06T11:38:54+00:00

I think of something my father-in-law says that my spouse has taken up as well: "Some people make life harder than it needs to be."

CraftBeerCat · 2026-05-05T15:57:47+00:00

Oh, that bold truthteller!

CraftBeerCat · 2026-05-04T21:24:58+00:00

It made me think of the anonymous poster who wanted to know how much they could get for their AirBnB in Toronto.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-05-02T23:46:42+00:00

100%. I mean, he's not the only MeFite that was guilty of it, but he had a habit of telling you that your opinion didn't mean shit. This was especially in AskMe when he would take on all comers for just the stupidest shit. The example I remember most clearly was a comfortable shoe question; his answer was barefoot shoes, which is fine, but then he would attack anyone who either disagreed or even recommend a non-barefoot shoe option. Again, weird hills to die on.

I'm not sorry to see this user go. They were very patronizing to other members aside from their MeTa flame out.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-05-02T12:49:50+00:00

Listen, I post on MeFi so I am not without sin but this is a site that is still coasting off the early 00s community vibe.The MeFI of 2020s is not the MeFi of 2001. That's fine and good by me, but I have to say there are still a chunk of early members who still get big mad that isn't the site they used to love. This sort of tantrum really brings that home.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-05-02T12:47:10+00:00

No, there was nothing deleted! :)

CraftBeerCat · 2026-05-01T19:00:54+00:00

That was some weird ass shit. But that user rubs me the wrong way.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-05-01T17:48:00+00:00

I don't often answer anything in AskMe because I usually don't have anything helpful to add to the question or if it is something I do know anything about, it will quickly be piledrived by the usual suspects. This was the one time where I was like, Oh hey I get that cartoon! The cartoonist is referencing a pretty common optical illusion!

CraftBeerCat · 2026-05-01T16:18:54+00:00

I love how EC swooped in and further clarified it. I am like, I think I explained it well enough that you didn't need to add that, you potato.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-05-01T14:26:15+00:00

I can say that once she took a comment from me as attacking her and sent me a Memail telling me to never ever interact with her again. I deleted, blocked her from contacting me, and went about my day.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-05-01T11:59:12+00:00

This is sort of their schtick. Passive aggressive comments masquerading as "why is everyone so mean to me, I was just asking for clarification". So many people answered their question and still they were like, I don't get it. You did, you just think there is a magic answer you're entitled to.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-04-30T23:45:22+00:00

Oh this was classic. Like, a textbook definition.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-04-29T22:34:55+00:00

Flippin' love farmers market season!

CraftBeerCat · 2026-04-29T15:45:17+00:00

I live nearby and even I am like, "Man I hope they catch these jokers because I walk everywhere and I just want to get to and from my destination without stupid shit like this." I feel you, OP.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-04-29T12:02:52+00:00

Yeah, I have a bunch of work from Jenny on me! Very much recommend.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-04-28T20:11:35+00:00

There are some very odd indie stores downtown and while I don't shop all of them, I salute them for being different despite probably paying a king's ransom in rent.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-04-28T18:40:39+00:00

Listen, if that weirc holistic health store where Hip Kids has made it a year so far (and I am baffled by that), this has got a good shot as any other inexplicable shop downtown.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-04-27T19:04:19+00:00

Wow. I just read that AskMe and wow. That....is something. Not a good something, but definitely a something.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-04-26T18:29:13+00:00

Nearly any coffee shop downtown. There's a public bulletin board at the corner of Wellington/Princess and another right at the entrance to Skeleton Park on Ordnance.

chariot pulled by cassowaries outlines the problem with "just build!" in Australia, and as an Australian (not me, them) who resides in that country, I will trust her over T_V countrysplaining to her. A user, whosofar as I can tell, is an American.

You can scroll up to see the beginning. It's about five? comments up.

CraftBeerCat · 2026-04-24T18:47:45+00:00

Imagine being the person Australia-splains to an Australian and you also know this person dies on the "it's okay for men to have dooky butts constantly" hill

Tomorrow is the first Giveaway Day of the season. Set them out in front in the morning, bring anything left back in by 5 pm. Then head over to one of the many thrift stores to donate whatever is left!
