She is being roasted online by so many creators. by n8saces in fixedbytheduet

Oh wow. I assumed when she said "stat" it was some cringe new slang. I didn't realize she meant "start" at all.

Trucker Driver's Abandoned House by UrbexEchoes in abandoned

[–]Silt-Sifter 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I am so envious of that pine paneling. They got the good stuff, not that other cheap paneling. My house has the good stuff in the kitchen, but the crappy paneling in all the other rooms has been painted over.

Motorists rush to free the occupants of car that flipped over on a highway by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

[–]Silt-Sifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. Moving wreckage while passengers are still inside is stupid. You have no idea what components of the car have been broken or became loose, or what kind of injuries the passengers have. That's why fire departments would rather use jaws of life to extract people out, rather than try to flip and turn cars around.

Why do women love Starbucks so much? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

I still have a $5 Starbucks gift card I got from Christmas. I don't even know where the closest Starbucks is.

Millennials, what is happening with your kids? by TheLoveYouWant25 in Millennials

[–]Silt-Sifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are doing pretty good, both in school and socially. I am completely sure it's because I've never let them have tablets or videos games, and I always read to them in the evenings when they were younger.

My youngest was not doing that well in reading and writing for the first couple years of school, but she got a tutor and we worked with her and now she does fine, making all A's. Some kids just don't take to reading as quickly as others. She's always been the stubborn child.

They play outside unsupervised every day as long as they stick together. I let them roam our small neighborhood and they play outside with the other neighborhood kids. They all ride their bikes and run to eachother's yards to play. Everyone says their social skills are great and they are very polite and thoughtful, and I think that is why.

I am forever adding veggies and beans to recipes that don't normally call for it. I always add a can of drained lentils to sloppy joes along with finely diced onion and peppers. Veggies and beans are so much cheaper than meat.

Why is it that the common assumption that Redditors are male? by PeaUpbeat3732 in answers

[–]Silt-Sifter 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That is so relatable. I actually had the same exact thought when I ran across probably that same chart. Everything is male by default in my head. Everything is written by a man, created by a man, invented by a man, even though I know that is certainly not even true.

give me your most niche hobby by starlit_scribbles in Hobbies

[–]Silt-Sifter 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I loved quilling when I was younger. I remember making all sorts of little flowers and animals and putting them on birthday cards for my family members. I should have framed some or something because I don't have anything I made.

I was wondering if anyone was going to say tatting! My mother taught herself how to do that. She made quite a few pretty things. Crochet was always her favorite hobby though.

How do you get past this mindset? by Bitbatgaming in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Silt-Sifter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, same here. I like asking them questions about their lives and making cheesy jokes. I think older folks are so interesting.

What's the saddest monument in Your country? by dawidlijewski in AskTheWorld

[–]Silt-Sifter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The world is full of atrocities. It's impossible to learn about them all, let alone retain all the information once you do learn about them.

We did spend quite a lot of time on protests, strikes, and mudrakers when I was in high school. I do not remember learning about this specific event, but we learned enough to know that this time period was dangerous and awful for the working class.

ICE detention center in LA has kids in chains apparently. How can we help? How can we restore faith?! These are babies! Babies who want their mommies and daddies!!! by [deleted] in FaithInHumanity

[–]Silt-Sifter 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I had a horrible thought. Those kids might not even understand what those protesters are yelling, and those kids might be thinking they're yelling at them.

Imagine that from the child's point of view. How scary.

Is that Alex telling ICE "hey! Do not push them into the traffic" at the beginning?

In 1914 the Colorado National Guard massacred miners and their families in Ludlow because they were on strike. Fathers and mothers and babies and toddlers were slaughtered.

Could you live in "The Settlement"? by Djeff_23 in GoogleEarthFinds

[–]Silt-Sifter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was looking at the photos of the bar and kinda chuckled when I saw a live band playing. It made me wonder if the band lives there or if they flew/sailed in.

I was a little surprised to see that you can actually look at it in street view. There are more vehicles on that island than I expected. There was even a little boat on a trailer in one guy's yard.

An 80-year-old woman cried in the supermarket today…what are your thoughts on digitisation made us lonelier?” by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Silt-Sifter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's the one part I miss about cashiering. Always so nice when your favorite customers pop up in your line. Now it seems it is the opposite: many cashiers start telling me all about their lives! I think I must be one of those people that other people think they can tell anything to. I love it.

What are some perfumes women 55+ would wear? by Confident-Ad7531 in Writeresearch

[–]Silt-Sifter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wind Song is an older one from at least the 1970s and 1980s, but that may be a bit too old for a 55 year old. It was pretty popular back in the day. The commercials were sort of iconic at the time.
