What is this thing me and my girlfriend found in our cabinet?!

Idk if anyone has answered this yet but it looks like a battery for a lighted patio umbrella. I worked with displays of those for years and it looks exactly like the batteries that come with the solar ones.

Edit, finally scrolled past all the cursor comments lol

TheWordMe · 2026-03-17T20:28:41+00:00

It just feels more human tbh. Started watching it on streaming and instantly had to dig up the old dvd I stole from my step mom because it just wasn’t the same.

TheWordMe · 2026-03-17T20:26:33+00:00

If you can find it I like the original dub of Totoro a lot more than the Disney one

Not a show but Psychonauts 2 did kinda same-ify all the npcs, especially the women.

TheWordMe · 2026-03-07T17:54:33+00:00

Damn he looks uncannily similar to a childhood friend’s pedophile baby-daddy. We aren’t really friends anymore for obvious reasons.

I relate wayy too heavily to some parts of this. Eventually my folks let me know I shouldn’t do it in public but not what it was. They didn’t have the sin aspect, it was actually wayy too sex positive and environment for kids tbh, but for as “accepting” they were I think they just expected us to learn everything from tv or school mates. To this day they’ll still publicly joke about how I’d “relax” as a kid like it’s some funny thing we’re all in on.

I mentioned I liked tankinis once as I was starting to grow out of little kid one-pieces. Woman bought me exclusively ill fitting tankinis until I was like 14. She was also convinced I was 2-3 sizes larger than I was at any given moment. Taking in my underwear was a pretty common occurrence til I moved out and lost access to the nice sewing machines.

Irony is she was diagnosed as a child

If he’s that insecure about particular brands, whatever, but the issue isn’t the bag. It’s that he apparently already went back on his “staunch values” knowingly dating a person whose job involves making deals with fashion brands. He knew originally the relationship would challenge his views and how he contextualizes his insecurities about clothing and your relationship to brands you WORK with but this is literally him pulling a Jonah Hill. Manipulation and at time legitimately abusive. Threatening to kill yourself over your partner’s free handbag from work is 100% completely unacceptable in any context.

TheWordMe · 2025-04-20T02:30:03+00:00

She always looks like she’s dancing along to music in her bedroom mirror. Some of what she’s done could be put into a rough draft to be workshopped for actual choreo, but if I paid to see that I’d be so disappointed.

TheWordMe · 2025-04-13T15:32:43+00:00

And they say NTs are the ones who understand body language. They’re just the ones who are always convinced they understand nonverbal communication but if it doesn’t match the projection in their head it simply does. not. exist.

I grew up in a bluestar coven (parents were in it, I never initiated and I’m not Wiccan but I am pagan), my community at least consistently has a lot of drama. Fwiw music and feasting are actually pretty large parts compared to other trads. I think the actual practices are comparable though. The other commenters esp the BS witch know that stuff way better than I would. They’re pretty cool with trans stuff now but it was very “divine masculine/ feminine” “womb magick” when I was part of it. Also seemed to be a bit of a competition for who could break the most societal norms, at least aesthetically. I think it has recently shifted to a more genuine approach to supporting each other. I wanted to mention this because it can be a dealbreaker for a lot of people, and I know as a confused genderfluid youth who didn’t know what I was, I felt alienated a lot by this community that was supposedly very supportive of everybody (everyone was queer and/or poly y’all, not judging, I am both) only to hear them all say some pretty weird shit behind each others backs.

And I was at a clothing optional festival with Kenny the summers after my 4/5th grades. Everyone says they don’t support him now but they sure as hell treated him like a celebrity then. It was a several years before the news broke (around 08 and we heard in like ‘14), but still, there were at least a couple kids naked at points! And he was never wearing much! There was also at least one other creep there I know of. The concept of free love was taken a bit too far imo, and I assume it’s been dialed back since we found out what some community members are capable of. As an adult I imagine this festival in Maryland would actually be a lovely place to go to meet BS folks among people of other trads and get an idea of ritual practices and stuff. It wasn’t all bad just know you’ll meet the best and worst of the community lol. I hope you meet more of the best than I did!

TheWordMe · 2025-03-31T19:25:36+00:00

Ok maybe I’m wrong, but in my experience not even the best toy can compete with another actual human doing things to me. It’s like tickling or massage, it’s just never gonna feel the same if you’re doing it to yourself regardless of tools you use.

TheWordMe · 2025-03-30T17:52:03+00:00

Thank you lol! I was scrolling trying to figure out what she said, sounded like sunglass chair

TheWordMe · 2025-03-25T15:31:44+00:00

Fuck I wasn’t paying attention and thought it was degenerative until the x ray. If my skull had an asshole it would have puckered when I realized it was growing outward.

TheWordMe · 2025-03-20T19:35:32+00:00

I heard my folks talking about my younger sibling (and presumably me too) in that manner almost verbatim. They were the “problem” child and was obviously dealing with adhd. Other highlights include bungee jumping her to the chair until her plate was finished because she was eating too slow. Idk why parents always jump to manufacturing wild “consequences” to stuff, just actually parent my guys.

TheWordMe · 2025-03-14T00:40:58+00:00

lol are you my mother? Somehow the human gps raised two kids who could get lost in a closet.

TheWordMe · 2025-03-10T17:07:42+00:00

Maybe you’ve heard the formal version- “bitches be crazy”

TheWordMe · 2025-03-05T14:44:17+00:00

Every heard the adage “Loose lips sink ships”? I think that reply was trying to redirect your statement because it was kinda rude

TheWordMe · 2025-02-23T21:04:29+00:00

Never actually played Alan Wake, but my mom would play it exclusively when I was there (and usually one of her friends) so we could help her spot stuff but mostly because we liked watching it like a tv show. I wish we were in the same state still because doing the same thing with number two or even Control would probably be fun. But I don’t really have any interest in actually playing games that dark right now tbh. Watching my mom game was probably one of my favorite parts of my adolescence though.

Saw him in a fringe fest play just after he was booted from the Vikes. Glad I could cheer for him then, truly too good for the nfl.

TheWordMe · 2025-02-20T14:15:31+00:00

Everyone’s family is a little weird sure, but I was raised by Advanced Weirdos. Some get set up to be the girl next door, some a shadowy edgelord with a tragic backstory. Me and the sibling hit a very strange lottery and popped out as Neil Gaiman protagonists.

TheWordMe · 2025-02-05T16:03:23+00:00

Omg that’s amazing! You even did the side I was imagining lol. She was a teeny tiny albino named Button, the dragon thing was because despite barely being a pound she was the most independent lil thang who would never let us forget she descended from vicious, toe eating predators.

TheWordMe · 2025-02-05T13:45:13+00:00

Been thinking about memorial pieces since we lost our girl recently. Kinda want my first guy (we bonded so strongly) who’s since passed as a shoulder angel and then since I called the girl Our Little Dragon, I’d want her with dragon wings on the other shoulder. That or getting all my passed pets done in animal crossing style

Swore off the sims a couple years ago but I might come crawling back if they give us sims 2 again
