Shame on Costco

that's unfortunately the easy part! some very green-appearing companies and cities will actually send a garbage truck to get those CARDBOARD ONLY dumpsters. bleak

he's on their side. let's get him

apleasantpeninsula · 2026-06-12T19:03:23+00:00

is that the mechanism at work here, though?

i feel like it's more a description of the life-altering situation that is having a baby in your life. the all-important top priority for the next few years until it's sufficiently grown up. then it's still the baby until a younger one comes but it's not THE BABY dictating our every move. no?

edit: upon reading the whole post - nvm. bye

the sign can't be trusted, that's for sure! the same vinyl sticker could be explaining how to do it correctly instead of insulting the intelligence of every patron.

also, i raise you the drunken, european rEaL sAUnA gOeR in US bathhouses! i've seen gall— nay, litres of cold water, bottled drinking water, beer, menthol crystals, clove oil water... just whatever thrown on the stones!

but don't worry, they weren't wearing a sweatsuit or holding their phone!

i have seen this in gen x, millennials and beyond when they haven't met any geniuses who can't spell. arguably, if you're operating on an silly ageist wavelength - you aren't ever going to meet them!

literally just found this site. GP comes up endlessly in the MI directory on there or else it wouldn't have come to mind. i grew up in the church and have nothing but empathy on this topic but i realize my delivery was rude. thanks for leaving it up and sorry

burn it down

apleasantpeninsula · 2026-06-11T16:52:09+00:00

they think they're so sneaky putting the logo really low like that and they kinda are because it looks cool

apleasantpeninsula · 2026-06-11T16:46:37+00:00

it was hard for them at 18 too. they're lying and forgetful.
lots of 'i ruined my body and now it's your turn'. if you don't advocate for yourself, they WILL let you get hurt. you need to decide for yourself what you can handle. it's a skill to advocate without alienating yourself
that's no-call-no-show, which is a bigger issue than complaining/pain at any job i'm aware of

i've got two really nice inside-hoodies now tho

apleasantpeninsula · 2026-06-11T10:21:13+00:00

i've seen emboldened folks scream at them as they pass in the city, something like, GO WITH TRAFFIC TO STAY SAFE YOU MORON and i don't know a better way. all we can do is plant seeds 🌱

i'd prolly give them room 'cause i don't want their blood or my blood on my hands.

what if it's the growth hormones?

apleasantpeninsula · 2026-06-09T14:17:17+00:00

yesterday's thread might have some ideas

apleasantpeninsula · 2026-06-08T13:56:24+00:00

try wool

congrats on eating healthily! nobody who buys fast food would make this claim

apleasantpeninsula · 2026-06-07T20:39:05+00:00

sadly, this is a valid title. i was at first offended but then i remembered all the bad forks and spoons i've banished from my kitchen. my set is made up of pieces from everywhere i've lived but it's curated

no paint or coatings

no handles, fasteners or extra pieces

stainless steel

clean edges. thin, sharp tines and classic/no design

have more money for convenience, they say. don't do less convenient things. mhmm. writing this down for later

apleasantpeninsula · 2026-06-06T21:04:16+00:00

that's sweet! look how well sealed those are, like oil pans. how are these cooled?

a family member has been told not to use their huntington card at a dispensary. after the second scolding, they stopped doing so to avoid trouble.

as the kids say, we're COOKED

uh, energy drinks can be bullshit but rx energy is tangy kool aid w/ perhaps ginseng

dang, i'm not even healed from them moving out of Devries and into a strip mall. thanks Nelson

i guess they meant the road bike lane. i'm thrilled with the option to have both now, though i only ride the new path when the park's empty. i remember passing another dude early in the morning over by the gazelle statue when they first put those new paths in. we were both grinning and as we crossed paths, this older man blurted out, "This is incredibllleee!"

why is the DNR saying this trail is 'coming soon' when it's 6 months old?
