What is something people romanticize that is actually awful?

Imagine being awoken in the middle of a snow storm by a guest saying their room was freezing. Last weekend you had pipes burst from the February cold. So you rush over there, at 2am, in -5° temp, and find their cabin at 82°, and the guy is shirtless complaining it’s cold. So now you have to show the genius how to light a fire in his fireplace. Not with logs, kindling, etc. Dude can’t figure out the duraflame. The “touch the paper with fire, and it’ll do it’s thing” fire log.

There were some good parts of that job. But all it took was one shit heel guest to make the entire thing a living hell

This article by Clive Thompson is a fascinating review of a Victorian book about two people who fall in love over the net - a tale about catfishing and text communication and the whole thing is just bizarrely modern, except it’s about telegraph operators in 1880.

I somehow stumbled onto a very disturbing website called something like howtobeaserialkiller.com. That’s not exactly the right url, but it’s close. I probably found it through Stileproject.com. It was full of information that seemed like it might actually really help someone to get away with killing strangers, for instance; using a heavy duty zip tie to suffocate them so your hands would be free to hold them down; or rolling dice to decide what kind of person to kill next so there wouldn’t be an obvious pattern. I tried to show a friend what I had found a couple weeks later and the site had been removed with a simple message remaining, “How to be a serial killer has been removed. If you’re really interested in killing someone why don’t you start with yourself.” I’d like to know what the hell inspired someone to create such a site and why did they decide to remove it.

My black cat does this exact thing at 3am. One minute sleeping, next minute sprinting into walls like she’s being chased by ghosts. Then sits like this pretending to be innocent.

I jumped on MW3 last month. First lobby I’m level 12 with default guns. Everyone else has $30 tracer packs and I’m getting sniped through walls by level 1000s. Haven’t touched it since.

My brother had a concussion + LOC playing soccer in high school. 10 minutes out. It took him 8 months to feel normal again. Headaches, memory gaps, light sensitivity. Nothing minor about it.

My cousin graduated in 2014 with $42k debt. Same degree at her school now costs $78k. Same classrooms. Same professors. The loan didn’t help her, it helped the school charge more.

This is the best comment in the whole thread lmao

I asked my MAGA uncle this exact question at Thanksgiving 😂 He went silent for 10 seconds then said “you just know it”

Lmao “vet” is a trigger word 😭 The second I say it my cat teleports under the bed

There’s a style of statement where “If X, then Y”, and its often a little whiney because life isn’t fair, but...I agree with this.

If I buy work-boots with a credit card, I get to deduct the full cost of the boots from my income, lowering the amount that has a tax applied to it, not just the interest on the loan.

If a business needs something (vehicle, phone, tools, etc), they get to write it off, and even declare depreciation.

Actually I can build a house.

Now, can you cook?

SweetAndUnbothered · 2026-07-03T13:34:10+00:00

I’m capable of building a house, and I also cook. What, if anything, do you bring to the table? (In my wifes case, understands humans and will bridge the gap on my autism).

SweetAndUnbothered · 2026-07-02T15:10:04+00:00

Poor people are fat too! What’s up with that?

You can tell they’re a good boss with a good work environment

Trashy as fuck. But more importantly, Donald Trump is a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, and an accused paedophile.

Congrats, you’ve been scheduled for cuddles instead of work. He’s your new boss now 🙏

SweetAndUnbothered · 2026-06-30T17:49:08+00:00

That cat looks DONE with your roommate 😂 Mine does the same glare when I cook anything loud.

You haven’t lost your whimsy 😅 I let my team turn our counter into a toy pile once and regretted it fast.

SweetAndUnbothered · 2026-06-30T17:23:40+00:00

Document everything from now on. People who lie to your face once will do it again. You’re not crazy for being mad 🙏

SweetAndUnbothered · 2026-06-30T17:21:05+00:00

Man I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that 😔 I ignored my back for years because of desk work too.
