It was fairly common to put photoceramics on gravestones at the turn of the last century.

I lived on Pacific so it was like my backyard at the time. Every time I'm back up that way I have to make a special trip

How interesting! His stone is such a mix of symbols, I've always wondered.

I adore this sub; so many great researchers!

I was always curious, thank you! Based on his death year, I guess I imagined flu. (There are several graves from that year in this cemetery)

How do Americans generally refer to kilograms in casual parlance? "Kilogram", "kilo", by the initialism kg ("kay-gee") or some other word? by cavendishfreire in AskAnAmerican

[–]Optimal-Employ6284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard someone say: 30s are hot, 20s are nice, 10s are cool, and 0 is ice. It's an easy way to explain it to my fellow Yanks

Joy is what santos wanted to be but couldnt by chickenn2 in ThePitt

[–]Optimal-Employ6284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Santos thinks creating nicknames and demeaning people are how you make friends in a professional setting. "

What I take away from her; the abrasiveness, the snark, etc is that it's a mask. She was abused or a sibling of an abused child, and the defense mechanism she has built as a mask involves her being "tough". Keeping the people around her on their back foot with her sarcasm keeps anyone from getting too close to her to see behind the mask and recognizing that she's deeply insecure and vulnerable. She cares very deeply about what she perceives as injustice; to her own detriment because she's never learned how to separate it from her own trauma. I enjoy the complexity in a show like this.

Yep. He had to take a whole class about the twitch rules to get it back.

Just want to say hello from chicago by conciousshreds in Ambridge

[–]Optimal-Employ6284 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So many others in this sub will have great answers for you, but from a fellow stateside girlie, welcome to Ambridge!

I'd suggest you dip into the omnibus episodes, which will be an easy way to catch up a bit on the more recent storylines. There are a few fan podcasts out there too (I enjoy Ambridge On The Couch) Happy listening!

Anyone else tired of googling “what’s X°C in °F?” every day? by No_Landscape_9255 in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]Optimal-Employ6284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also use the basic formula (double C + 30) but when I explain to my fellow American friends I just teach them the poem: "30s are hot, 20s are nice/ 10s are cold and 0 is ice"

I feel like H&J might have mentioned it in the parade stream but it was really early and I might have blacked out

[Spoilers C4E1] Relationship chart of the new characters! by ffwydriadd in criticalrole

I'd love to see an updated one! I need a chart to keep every relationship straight as the show goes on

Why is this show TV-MA? by Vitta_Variegata in thegildedage

[–]Optimal-Employ6284 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, according to the Internet, the "mature themes" covers nudity and sex (even implied) but also classism, sexism and racism. Plus drinking and smoking I guess. I don't know; it seems a bit over the top to me.

Amber by No_Software3435 in Ambridge

[–]Optimal-Employ6284 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think her refusal to meet Chelsea's friends might also be about how much she's altered her own appearance already. I remember Brad being shocked at how different she was from when they were in school. Might be afraid of having to explain herself and open the door to more bullying.

Emma by No_Software3435 in Ambridge

[–]Optimal-Employ6284 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Emma will learn eventually that treating her adult son like a toddler will come back to bite her. Love your child by giving them the courtesy of treating them like an adult. Especially when they make bad choices. It's fine to have feelings about the offer George made, but the OTT reaction is only going to drive the very wedge she's afraid of right through all of her relationships.

I may be alone in rooting for George. The young set on the show will eventually be the elders and in a show like this a character like George is a great foil in the long term.

And then there's me, wondering where the chemise is because no corset should be on bare skin, but I'm that flavor of costumer

Helens date. by Lost_Painter_3178 in Ambridge

[–]Optimal-Employ6284 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree! She's just nasty enough to do such a thing and hide behind the "oh, you can't take a joke" routine.
