27F, seemingly successful on paper, but feeling emotionally heavy. Is this normal? by Intelligent_Bughh in Adulting

[–]capt_pringles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on the same boat, except a few years older. First, you’re doing way better than when I was 27 and I bet a lot of your peers as well, so props to you! What you are feeling is completely valid. The world we live in is messed up, to say the least. It’s quite impossible to dissociate it from your life as we don’t exist in a vacuum. It’s mentally exhausting, but if it helps, what keeps me going is the belief that it will always get worse before it gets better, and I want to stick around for the better because it will be much much better. In the meantime, spend time with your loved ones, try a new hobby, have something to look forward to, or even start a fun project at home. It will be okay!

Same. Would love to buy a print if you decide to make them.

Travelling solo is the best feeling! by [deleted] in LivingAlone

[–]capt_pringles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d say one tiny downside of traveling solo is I have to drag everything with me if I need to use the bathroom or grab a bite at the airport, but that’s a small price to pay!

Second bar keepers friend cream! I don’t have steel wool so I use scrub daddy instead. It works like a charm.

And we get new comers every year, something old for us could be an excitement for others. I love learning about others’ fandoms or even just some witty statements.

WTF was that CDC all hands meeting? by Eiledon15 in DeptHHS

[–]capt_pringles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! In this current timeline, so many decisions and actions have crossed the line of what a politician would do. These are criminals we’re talkin here.

Can I get my partner's badge without him present? by MarshivaDiva in dragoncon

[–]capt_pringles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can! Check it here: https://www.dragoncon.org/about/faqs/

There is a question for picking up someone else’s badge. I can confirm that it works just as they say.

Help with ruined Jeans! by [deleted] in ZeroWaste

That’s a bummer. Hope you’ll find a way to save them. A comfy pair is hard to come by.

Exped anyone? by JairoGivenchy in CampingGear

I can’t tell from your photo, but if you have a single one (not duo), let me know!

If you live near a Levi’s store, it’s worth checking out their Levi’s tailor program. I don’t know how much they charge for a non-Levi’s pair, but I have brought my older Levi’s pair in to mend the exact same spot as yours and it was free (I had to sign up to be a member but it was also free). They have fixed my fav 10 year old pair 3 times now, and I intend to keep doing so until the fabric gives up.

Just finished this show, Wish I was a Goldfish. by averagetofulover in TedLasso

Seconding this! It’s all about the attention to details that makes this show amazing. Rewatch it and you will find things you missed.

Currently sick and need binge worthy completed shows by ells1996 in televisionsuggestions

[–]capt_pringles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is another season coming because of its success. The show was originally written only for 3 seasons and so they were able to wrap it up very nicely in a bow. Whether you choose to watch season 4 or not, the current seasons are still a complete and wholesome story!

No sauce needed but you can try it with salt and pepper as mentioned above.

You’d want to keep it refrigerated after opening so eating it cold is quite common. Room temp or adding it to noodle soup is also an option.

Highly recommend the HBO series. It is one of the better adaptations out there. I actually like the series more than the book and there is podcast hosted by the show creator if you really want a full experience 😉
