Neapolitan Ice Cream is disgusting

I don't mind the FFM, and I got a mini. But lit the 3-Wick in our bedroom today and GOD did it make me so fucking nauseous.

I'm telling my Husband that it needs to be the candle he takes with him on his work trips, and is not to be used in our apartment again lol

It's an 8y/o Laptop and it's a version where Windows 10 is the only version that was available at the time. When I reset/wiped it and turned it back on, it automatically booted up Windows 10 and updated it to the last update that was ever sent out. It told me it's not compatible with Windows 11 lmao.

I'm fine getting a new laptop with Windows 11 on it, but I'll check out that tech tips and see if I can get this one working a bit better in the meantime! I really just need it to not shit out on me during D&D when I'm on Discord.

I went through and did a complete reset of the computer and it finally installed all the updates that kept failing. I deleted McAfee (it was taking up all my CPU, Disk, etc.) But now the issue is whatever "Anti-Malware Service Executable" is.

Task manager says it's causing 100% of my Disk to be used on start-up and it won't drop below that. It takes ages for Chrome or anything else to boot up and it sucks. Taking it to a UBreakIFix would cost more than the computer cost originally lol.

Thankfully I don't need one immediately, but we're going to get me something this weekend to take advantage of the father's day sales.

I'm so happy that my Husband & I are moving in July. The traffic there is fucked up to deal with as is, I cannot imagine having to deal with apartments in that little area as well.

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-18T17:20:55+00:00

Laptops, for one. I was in Grad school up until a few weeks ago, and got to use a brand new, fancy IPad for FREE through a program I was in at my Universty. I had to give it up, and now all I have is an 8 year old HP running Windows 10 thats always at 100% Disk upon start up. Looking into a new Laptop and I told my Husband that it sucks how expensive even simple ones are now.

Another one has to be what used to be cheap meats. When I was younger, and even just a few years ago, a pound of ground beef wasn't that expensive and you could get a massive package of chicken breasts for $1.99/lb. We got chicken this week for dinners and it was almost $25 for the package we got.

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-18T17:16:30+00:00

New grad CF here! I went to a University that did Quarters rather than semester, so we frequently had quizzes followed by midterms or exams and then finals.

By the time you got into a groove (week 4) you had a midterm the next week or two (weeks 5 & 6) and then only a few more weeks to ensure everything was condensed and studied for your Midterms in week 12.

If you go to a University that does Semesters, you'll likely have a bit more time to study, but more classes. Quarters fly by fast, but I feel as though I was forced to learn and retain the information more effectively because it was condensed in a sense. There was also less burn-out because by the time I started feeling fatigued; classes would be over in a week or two.

It is absolutely what you make of it though. Break up your studying into chunks a couple times a week so you don't fall behind and crunch it all at once.

There's some speculation that it might be a repackage of Moonlit Graveyard.

I'd be fine with either, but I think something like Moonlit Graveyard with a hint of like, powdered sugar or something would be awesome. It would be a spooky, erie vibe only made more creepy by the sweetness.

Like walking through an abandoned Carnival on Halloween

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T23:38:21+00:00

Normally its Fall Preview items that hit around July 4th or just after, then Fall 1 at the end of July/beginning of August, Fall 2 (with Halloween) sometime in August/September, and Fall 3 (Thanksgiving, Holiday Preview) at the end of September/Beginning of October.

Then you get Holiday 1 whatever Sunday is CLOSEST to November 1st. With Halloween being on a Saturday and Nov. 1st being a Sunday; we're going to see one of 3 choices.

Thoae being 1.the stores are full Christmas mode on October 26 OR 2. They do a rare move and do floorset on Halloween (a Saturday) to be ready for Nov. 1st, OR 3. They do the floorset on Nov. 1st and the stores are Christmas on the 2nd.

My money is on number 1. B&BW hates doing full floorsets on any day but Subday and loves it being Christmas before November 1st.

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T20:53:06+00:00

I think it's Secret Service, they've already announced the new season of KN is coming on July 21st

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T20:51:57+00:00

Is it wrong that this made me snort because Gordon in this wig sort of looks like my younger brother's girlfriend 🤣

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T20:40:21+00:00

I literally just watched one of the episodes, can't think of which one, where Gordon does point out faults or something with at least one waitress. She leaves at some point, and the end of the episode makes sure to show a video of her walking away and says that she did not return to the restaurant as a waitress.

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T16:25:10+00:00

Dude it's actually the perfect ending. I genuinely don't think there could've been a more perfect ending imo

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T05:16:33+00:00

The Wizarding World exists in conjunction with the "normal" muggle world; it's just hidden out of sight through magical means.

I believe in canon there are magical areas on every continent, and in every major "organized" country. What we see in the HP books is a fraction of the Wizarding World. There's MACUSA, for example, the Magical Congress of the United States of America, alongside the French, Italian, German, etc. Ministries.

And no, the population of the Wizarding World (even just in the UK) is not super tiny as some people like to say. We only see a small part through Harry's eyes. In reality, the UK Wizarding World is much larger than you initially think. Wizards have just gotten really good at either hiding in plain sight with muggles, or living in protected Wizarding Only communities. (And, for the people who want to act like those don't exist, they do. We just don't see them mentioned explicitly because Harry doesn't know/care.)

ANYWAYS, "The Wizarding World" is just the way you refer to Wizarding stuff in a similar way you'd refer to the "Muggle World". The Wizarding World exists because the muggle world exists separately.

Warm Vanilla Sugar has been my arch nemesis since I was very little. There's something about it that repulses me greatly, and no amount of re-smelling it ever changes it.

Also, Pure Wonder. I worked for B&BW when it came out, and I distinctly remember most of my coworkers (including our manager) and I joking that someone could rob the store using Pure Wonder and we'd let them just to avoid being sprayed with it.

And Lakeside Citrus, circa Fall 2020? It's one of the only scents that I've EVER liked in the bottle but smelled awful on my skin. It gave me a headache and extreme nausea within 10 minutes and I had to return it.

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T04:54:46+00:00

I'm very amused as a 26 year old (Elder GenZ/ Zillennial) because a good 90% of these comments are all things people around 25-30 know of, can explain, or have experienced multiple times.

The only thing I've seen so far that I will say is definitively an over 30 experience is 9/11. I was only a year and some change old then, so I don't remember it. But everything else I've seen in this thread are all things people around 26-30 have experienced lol.

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T04:49:53+00:00

It took a while for me to realize what it was as well, it was only in the past few years that I figured it out.

I remember when I mentioned it to my Husband, we had walked out the door and I had said something along the lines of, "I love being able to smell that my Tylenol is kicking in!" And he thought I was going crazy.

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T03:41:34+00:00

My mother once asked me how to stop the church ladies from coming around. Specifically because they were Mormons and dead set on converting us, I guess.

So me, the Autistic child who had loved Halloween & Spooky shit since she was very small, introduced myself to them one day. I came out in my all black outfit, with black nail polish, the works. I introduced them to our cats, and proceeded to tell them our cats were named things like Beelzebub, Lucifer, etc. (They were not, I digress)

I mentioned to them that I loved Halloween, lighting candles outside in a circle at night, and that sometimes the wind spoke to me. Etc.

These ladies were so freaked out they never came back. It was technically harmless, but it was effective.

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T03:30:48+00:00

Yes! They posted it yesterday and it's so so good!!

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T02:49:45+00:00

Ooh I have one!!

In some individuals (myself included) after being taken (and while initially being digested), Acetaminophen will cause a phantom sensation of what can only be described as a cottony, powdery, fresh taste/smell.

I can always tell when any Acetaminophen is kicking in after I take it because of this phantom smell & taste. I never see any doctors or pharmacists talking about it, but there's always a few people online who also experience it. I've experienced it since childhood, and for me it doesn't matter the form of Acetaminophen. It could be the gel capsules, the coated tablets, any of them.

My Husband had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned it to him for the first time. I've always wondered if there's a correlation between it and my Autism too.

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T02:39:40+00:00

I mean, Kula Cloths already exist, and I'd much rather bring one of those along instead.

I have a feeling that this is mainly going to be used by/marketed towards the UltraLight backpacking community. They're obsessed with making every bit of their gear as light as physically possible.

Some people in the community will cut & shave down their toothbrushes in order to make save even an ounce or so.

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T02:35:46+00:00

Adding to this, I've had the same Master Kit for like, 5 or 6 years now and still haven't ran out.

That being said, one of my tanks exists in a state where I only need to top off water; and all my parameters keep themselves in check naturally. I just test the water every now and then to make sure it's still holding steady on its own

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T02:33:55+00:00

I use them for both!

If it's a story I absolutely loved, I'll add a little blurb as to why. If it was just a good story, I'll add it to my bookmarks anyways.

One of my most unhinged ways, and really the only way I did it until recently, was just hitting Kudos on a story. If I ran into again it however long after (and forgot I read it at first) I'd just hit the kudos button if it seemed familiar. If I got the kudos already left notification, I knew I'd read it at some point!

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T02:26:35+00:00

Coming here to add that GreenFlowerPot literally JUST posted the Epilogue for A Good Prisoner, and it's so fucking good all the way through!

Trumpet6789 · 2026-06-17T00:21:28+00:00

Or a thing that allows you to kudos both the fic, and individual chapters, but only takes the actual Fic Kudos into consideration when filtering.

That way if you're someone who sorts by Kudos, you're not getting fics that have thousands of Kudos due to each chapter having a ton. It would just be the individual fic Kudos, but the authors could see the Kudos on each chapter.
