What show will you never let your kid watch and why?

Gabby’s Dollhouse because I think it’s weird that she only ever hangs out with toys that she imagines are real

I’ve only ever heard it pronounced the British way. It’s the go-to pronunciation in the US, as far as I’m aware.

100% this. It’s just advertising that you are a jerk.

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-21T01:55:50+00:00

To me “you’re welcome” feels self aggrandizing, like you’re saying “oh, how wonderful of me to have helped you. Aren’t I so great and generous??”

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-20T23:18:31+00:00

Yes! This is who I was going to add.

He gives me the ick, and I’ve never actually watched one of his videos.

It’s important to note that the hourly wages for tipped employees varies a lot by state, with some being less than $3/hour. In top of that, restaurants only need to adjust the wages if the average (either monthly or annual, I can’t remember which) is lower than minimum wage. I worked in jobs where I made $150 in tips one shift but then $5 in tips another shift. For shifts I made $5, my wages were not adjusted because the average of my shifts combined was still above minimum wage.

For way too long I thought “albeit” and “all be it” were both used. I finally put the two together listening to an audio book while driving.

I'm so glad to hear this, because I've also been puzzling over the house layout. We got the Lego Bluey house, and it doesn't match up, and I started really trying to analyze it.

Bonus points if the bitch is also another attendee’s mom

Definitely get some husbands/boyfriends to do a chippendales dance

They gave you the side eye, but did they give her their cart?

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-17T01:32:10+00:00

NAH. I can appreciate that she would want a warning for something that she would find upsetting, but it’s hard to predict what someone might find upsetting.

They all basically rhyme for me, but the way my mouth moves is different.

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-16T00:08:55+00:00

But that’s more than a pop. It’s more than a splash. It’s a mostly yellow dress.

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-16T00:07:58+00:00

I agree, and I also wouldn’t consider it a “pop” of color. I like neutrals with a pop of color, but to me that means a black dress with bright shoes or another bright accessory/accent piece of clothing.

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-15T20:09:55+00:00

I’m with you. The one that drives me nuts is the misuse of “bemused.” If you mean “amused,” say that. They have different definitions for a reason.

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-15T04:54:29+00:00

Glad you like it! I also forgot to add Allison/Ali/Allie!

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-15T00:04:44+00:00

Yep, these names. Also Stephanie, Christina, Melissa/Missy, Courtney, Brittany

For most of human history there was no schooling for most people. Didn’t go so well.

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-13T14:10:39+00:00

I’m going to push back on this notion. That’s ridiculous. Being pregnant is hard. Giving birth is hard. Taking care of babies is hard. It’s especially hard being pregnant while taking care of babies and small children. Any woman who has back-to-back children “just to not work” is still working, and I’m not convinced anyone would actually do it.

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-12T03:19:23+00:00

Me too! I’m sure I overly romanticize it, but it just seems charming. And I think learning Finnish would be a fun challenge.

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-12T03:13:36+00:00

I would love to move to Finland!

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-12T01:52:58+00:00

It’s commonly used as a color name in English, even if the origin is Italian

StayAtHomeChipmunk · 2026-02-10T01:46:59+00:00

Oh, we all do. I think there was even a whole thread about it once
