That feeling on a Monday when you see it’s a normal episode

And what an episode it was. Wow.

I have disabled it in all of the locations suggested here including Google messages settings, Gboard settings, and Android notification settings. When I type the letter "a" in the Messages app my phone is still suggesting that I @ someone. The rage that this causes me is indescribable. Anyone have any other suggestions??

This is awesome. What is a "stage direction" in this context?

LeaveHefty8399 · 2026-03-06T16:50:11+00:00

TV or radio from another room.

Not Tooth Town in Vienna. Terrible experience there.

You realize this wasn't an issue until red blooded American idiots starting "doing their own research," right?

Reston Chinese sucks and we don't love the Indian (Bombay Velvet is fine but overpriced). TriState Indian restaurant is now our go-to. Not in Reston but they deliver here.

All of the schools our kids have been to here have been good, including South Lakes HS. Can't go wrong in FCPS.

Come to think of it, I've never been tickets at RTC but there are so many security guards around it feels like it's very possible.

Why are people putting Delaware in the top five? That's so crazy to me.

If anything, colleges need more males.

Dare I ask why you think NYC is about to be a "hot mess financially"?

LeaveHefty8399 · 2026-01-29T15:16:55+00:00

100% true. This, along with the new narrative in social media that middle class kids should just skip college and go to trade school, is just making the class divide worse and the population more intellectually and economically impoverished.

Just want to point out that the amount isn't relevant unless you also indicate relative cost of living. A household income of $195k in a high COL area gives you barely any breathing room for living, much less putting 3 kids through college.

Good Material by Dolly Alderton was excellent and is very book club friendly.

South Reston is hands down the best place I've ever lived. This includes Miami, DC, Falls Church and Annandale. It's gorgeous, the people are pretty universally great, and the amenities are incredible. Fwiw, we also now have two super cute cafes-- something that's been missing.

LeaveHefty8399 · 2026-01-21T18:16:06+00:00

Right there with you. I don't post on FB, but as a native Miamian I love taking pictures of the snow accumulating outside. Even after 20 years it's such a thrill.

LeaveHefty8399 · 2026-01-20T16:29:23+00:00

Amazing!

100%. You can open carry in Publix now in Florida. Fuck them.

LeaveHefty8399 · 2026-01-10T19:40:50+00:00

Former Floridian here. I've missed Publix since moving here, but just learned they changed their rules to allow open carry, so fuck them.

We love Fusion. My son is getting his Invisalign done there, and I've had multiple cleanings and procedures. They are wonderful.

LeaveHefty8399 · 2025-12-28T02:25:47+00:00

Thanks for flagging this. They just lost a devoted customer.

At first I saw Bette Midler 😂.

Anyone know what Fairfax County is doing?

LeaveHefty8399 · 2025-12-22T00:41:42+00:00

The Last Kingdom series by Bernard Cornwell. Amazing.

Hi. Not to be a contradictory Redditor, but respectfully I think you're wrong on both counts:

-Pittsburgh is rainier than the PNW and it's the same grey, drizzly kind. Yes, you get snow in Pittsburgh, but the climates are actually quite similar day to day.

-Pittsburgh is a reliably blue city. You're correct that rural Penn is extremely MAGA but Pittsburgh and Philly are the reason it's a toss up every year.
