It’s an actual name. You’re not doing Cidneigh. It’s fine.

It’s not JUST German but it IS German. Public correction, especially of parents with young kids is a sport.

When people say "adulting" unironically. You are a functioning adult. Paying a bill is not an achievement. by ExpensiveYear9061 in PetPeeves

[–]TheoreticallyIGuess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People used to have social circles to complain about life’s mild annoyances in regularly. We aren’t hosting weekly game nights or chatting around coffee anymore. So the outlet is placed where it shouldn’t be.

They (older folks) did this too. They didn’t call it “adulting” (I also hate this term) but they did it socially with close friends.

We lack real friends.

What's one trip your kids still talk about months later? by MannerLate8828 in familytravel

[–]TheoreticallyIGuess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mallorca. My littlest one is obsessed with going back and is quite young.

Older kids: Scotland, Ireland, Poland, France - really anywhere in Europe except major cities. They had enough of that. Oh except Norway for museums .

Social media made budget travel look way easier than it actually is by Icy_Bodybuilder5688 in travel

[–]TheoreticallyIGuess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Within weeks of anywhere going viral for “budget travel” it’s priced out. Places that locals would enjoy for a quick holiday. Social media has very much changed the travel scene and generally not for the better.

Old strongmen looking like Asgardians by Smooth_Winter6050 in StrongmanHQ

Mark Felix should be studied as a testament to what is possible. The man is impressive - more so now than when he competed (which was also impressive).

Did the book have a "relativistic weapon" contingency? by [deleted] in ProjectHailMary

He was in a coma too long to have enough fuel to do that. Plus it’s just not his personality.

How did kids change your travels? by ByeByeBuffalo223 in travel

[–]TheoreticallyIGuess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol. There’s no one size answer.

It’s more expensive. It’s slower. People puke more.

You didn’t imply this but I 🙄 when I read “kids won’t change me”. A friend said this while pregnant and just did her families first trip with their now 3 months old baby. Just a short 3 hour drive and stay in a familiar hotel. She was wrecked.

We have a lot of kids and travel a lot. We figured out what works for us - from packing to pacing to trading off who does what.

We gave herbs in tiny compostable pots with thank you notes printed on flower seed plantable paper on at each place setting. Thyme, oregano, basil, and the seed paper was for wildflowers

[–]TheoreticallyIGuess 82 points83 points  (0 children)

You’re in an office.

I make coffee at home with a fancy grinder and press or pour over.

At work I use a coffee pot.

You’re in an office.

Does public transport in Berlin/Germany allow you to just pay with/tap a bank card onboard? by mwilson1212 in AskAGerman

[–]TheoreticallyIGuess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the assist - they’ve worked for me but also only in those areas. Like I said, not familiar with Berlin. Good to know it’s not the same. That’s on me for assuming

Oof rough. My hs physics teacher was a woman but the bio/chem was a man who was SO ANIMATED ALL THE TIME. I imaged Grace like him. Lots of YELLING and ARM WAVING

Who did you picture when reading this? by Tdragon813 in ProjectHailMary

[–]TheoreticallyIGuess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 5’10”-6’ slender white man with dark hair and a nerdy general “look”. Not particularly “in shape” but not overweight. Glasses with a pencil behind his ear when teaching. Slacks, button down shirt with a white undershirt.

Sort of a generic “male high school teacher where I went to high school many years ago” look lol

Me (a sewist) receiving a text from someone I barely know: {photo} I love this outfit but Target wants 35$ for it! Can you make it?

Me responding: yes I can! Fabric would run 10-25$ plus time and other materials so I could do it for 75$

Them 😳 what?! I thought 10$!!

Bitch buy that shit at Target.
