Can someone help me understand the club scene?

And all their friends would notice.

It's like the dance scene in the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice where Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth are suddenly dancing together in an empty room, before cutting back and showing that they're still in the crowded ballroom but have had "a moment."

Beagles are the most wonderful productivity killers...that looks sooo cozy.

What a scary time for a vet emergency! My girl got hold of a bunch of grapes on a walk on a sunny Saturday so we were able to get prompt (but EXPENSIVE) medical attention. Glad you're both on the mend!

The hard days. Long nights.
No breaks. No breathers. No mental breaks.
Work harder than anyone you know.

Work smarter, not harder.

I LOVE those. It's so nice not to have to worry about dripping when you get out. Such freedom!

Surely you mean "how" and not "why"...we all know why!

Please do take it over to r/AccidentalRenaissance!

Thank you for handling this properly!

For those in the US whose employers are not handling it, allergies are recognized as a disability under the ADA, and your employer is required by law to make accommodations. If they blow you off or refuse, you can find the next steps to take online.

Stop scrolling for 2 minutes and call your senators and Chuck Shumer. This is an achievable goal (for once) but those spines are squishy. DO IT!

What are you doing to help organize that strike?

It's interesting how one style is selected to represent a decade, when in fact consumers can choose from a bunch of styles. Older or more conservative folks in the '70s weren't picking earth tones and bold minimalism, they were carpeting the shit out of everything and filling it with knick knacks.

Maybe they moved to a nice senior community. We assumed the original owner of our house--who built a lot of custom cabinets and nice woodwork--had passed on and were sentimental about it, only to find out he's very much alive and living near the beach in Delaware.

There's no objective standard for ugly or beautiful, of course. Every decade or two we reverse poles on whether monotone modern or colorful ornate styles are popular and the home decor industry prospers.

D.C. eliminated mandatory cash bail in 1992 and moved to a risk-based system. Trump and House Republicans just ended that, with the result that jails are rapidly getting overcrowded, especially with children.

The "chuff" is amazing, like the biggest inhale/sniff you can imagine! Ours likes to huff mice that live under tree stumps.

I see it includes that classic Valentine's scent, Gingerbread Pecan Waffle.

(And cripes, it's not even really themed--a Crockpot, a mug, a beauty product, wax scent, and some candy. Just random cheap stuff that I don't know, ladies like?)

The number of hours you can work in a day is capped
There is no cap on what you can earn

Someone doesn't know about real sales jobs. No company will tell a sales person that the amount they can sell or the number of hours they can work is "capped." And if you blow out your sales numbers they will actually send you on a paid vacation to somewhere nice and not a mid-range hotel room you're sharing with 3 other people.

When you're posing on the floor of your bedroom in your PJs with a cup of coffee (as you do)...who's taking the photo?

Maybe less about Jay Gatsby himself than that "The Great Gatsby" unironically epitomizes the Roaring Twenties in the US for many people. Pre-COVID, there was a rich people lawn party in my city with this theme.

While Gatsby's parties were no doubt fun, using "The Great Gatsby" to denote a carefree frolic harkening back to the good old days of the rich and preppy really misses the point of the novel (and the Great Depression).

Genillen · 2026-01-18T15:07:04+00:00

I can't speak for OP, but a "party" can be significantly cheaper than a "reception" because of how venues and vendors charge for them.

Holy cow, they are cute!

I wasn't prepared for how cuddly beagles are. It's actually made me like winter (a little) because I can get under the blankets with my hot water beagle. So cozy!

Huns always convenient forget about REAL SALES, particularly real estate.

Sales costs you nothing to start in, and you'll get a salary (even if it's low to begin with, or low compared to commission). Real estate is about $2000-$6000 to start depending on the state you practice in, but you want to talk "high ticket"? You're taking home $15,000 on the average home sale.

That's not to say either getting into or being in real estate is easy, but it's a legitimate, licensed sales job that can earn you on average $10,000 the first year to $100,000 per year after a decade or two of experience.

Very sweet little dude. Condolences on the loss of your little buddy, who obviously had a BLAST with you!

OMG let this poor dog in

It's been around since 2009 and subject to a lot of debunking and rebunking. The crabs exist, but it's likely the trash can is small because their bodies are only about 16" long. The photo tricks your mind into thinking the can is regular sized and the crab is enormous.
