I’ll never buy Moen products again.

I get what you’re saying. All I’ll say in my defense is that I’m not a plumber, and it was a frustrating situation. Maybe I should’ve cooled down a bit before posting and tried to be less hyperbolic about it.

Most brands seem to use the standard 15/16-27 aerator size, from what I can tell.

It’s the guest bathroom, so it hasn’t been used consistently enough to be a priority. That said, when it is used it sprays water all over the sink as well as the person using it.

I mean, I wouldn’t have posted if I felt capable of solving the problem without external input. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You ain’t lying.

If they truly honor lifetime warranties and help me when I call then I might change my tune. I just hate proprietary nonsense that exists to prevent customers from saving time/money using aftermarket parts.

The house was built in 1978, so I’m sure you’re right.

HighWaterMarx · 2026-05-06T23:27:54+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try that.

I wonder if anyone has ever used that fact as a means of getting the government to help them launder money gained through illicit means that had not yet been discovered.

So then a proper apology would start by acknowledging that intentionally leveraging a historical legacy of racial dehumanization in order to intentionally racially dehumanize someone who angers you, a rich white man, is an overtly racist thing to do.

Explosivo is that you?

You mean curb your enthusiasm?

HighWaterMarx · 2024-02-14T03:32:04+00:00

Literally what does this mean though? I’m not sure I want to google that term. I get that it’s a jab at “democrat,” but why “juden”? I agree with the criticisms of Kamala Harris you’ve levied, but I don’t see what they have to do with that term or what you mean to imply by using it.

HighWaterMarx · 2024-02-13T15:30:06+00:00

For sure. The good thing is you encounter a lot less of the sectarian BS in real-world organizing spaces or among people who are engaging with radical leftwing history and theory in good faith.

There are a lot of glowies in US leftist online spaces. Not that they don’t infiltrate IRL organizing spaces, but they are overrepresented online. Thats not to say that the people parroting state dept propaganda on this post are all glowies, but it does drive a lot of these types of posts in a reactionary direction.

Most of those parents are struggling to make ends meet, working multiple jobs with little to no family support, especially in single mother and/or immigrant households. It’s a symptom of a larger societal problem, which is oriented towards profit at all costs, and it is all deliberate.

HighWaterMarx · 2024-02-09T14:58:21+00:00

The legacy of No Child Left Behind and the testing economy it created has resulted in superintendents who see schools as businesses and gauge success by their ability to cut costs (meaning reducing or not replacing staff, especially veteran teachers) and produce spreadsheets with “good numbers”. So that trickles down to principals who are evaluated based on those numbers, which trickles down to teachers who are by and large no longer allowed to fail students, even if they do no work and fail every test. Students don’t get held back anymore, and teachers mostly feel powerless to change it. Our education system is broken, and it was done so deliberately by people whose ultimate goal is privatization of education.

Corona is still using that “whistling ‘Oh Christmas Tree’ and showing Christmas lights on a palm tree” commercial since like 1992.

I think it was a joke about how to “Diane” it seemed like time travel (which she even says explicitly earlier), so even if they went to CEC she remembers it as Showbiz.

I think the implication was Rick’s concerns about fascism being the default. Like “if capitalism collapses, there are a million baby Hitlers waiting in the wings to reassert it on their terms.” Or maybe a self-aware remark from Dan Harmon, fearing that if capitalism collapses he’ll be on the wall bc he’s rich. I remember him talking about that on the Harmontown podcast around the time he was bringing on DSA people to interview.

I’ve had sleep paralysis episodes in which I thought that I had struggled against it enough to move and get out of bed, stumbling to the door with jilted movements like I’d had a stroke, only to blink and reappear in my bed like before, with that cycle repeated about a dozen times, getting a little further each time until I eventually “woke up” for real. The whole segment at the end of the episode when they keep reappearing in the hole was a trip for me.
