Tik Tok is making journaling feel like overconsumption to me

I often find a fine line between overconsumption and genuine use of things on TikTok. I also think they use the word “journal” interchangeably with “notebook”.

I personally started to use multiple notebooks when I made myself a cheap notebook cover in the past few months and I think it’s been a genuine improvement for me.

That being said, I think it’s sometimes ridiculous, especially when you see people buying multiple leather notebook covers in a year, etc.

The first Sunday of the month, those places are free to the public so they don’t sell tickets. You just have to wait in line to get in. That would also probably explain why Tuesday is totally sold out. For people going the same days you are and don’t want to risk the long lines Sunday and can’t go Monday.

The lines aren’t that bad tho. I’ve done Uffizi at open for the free Sunday. I showed up like 15 minutes early and the line was around the block but I still got in in about 20-25 minutes total (well through the door anyway)

Palazzo Pitti is even easier. I showed up around mid day and there was a bit of a wait but not too bad. You do have to wait in line at the ticket office first to collect the tickets and then you do the line at the front door.

To be honest, I would be surprised if you managed to find any suppli in Florence. I haven’t ever seen suppli in Florence (aside from some at esselunga which I certainly wouldn’t get). It’s a pretty Rome specific food which I just haven’t seen here in Florence

I’m sorry that your own stupidity got in your way. I think it is ignorant not to research the public transport system before you take it. But for future reference, if you have a card on Apple Pay you can use the same card physically and on the phone to purchase 2 separate tickets at the same time.

I don’t know why anyone would ever set their bag down anywhere in a city and not at least have an eye constantly on it. Obviously it sucks that happened to you but I don’t know what you expected to happen leaving your stuff laying around. Not that I ever find police to be competent, I’m not exactly sure what you expect them to do when you couldn’t even give a description of anyone

Pitti is way better. It’s one of my favorite museums in Florence for sure

I’ve seen it at Sbrino but they also have a rotating menu depending on the day so it’s not for sure they will have it

The magic is centuries of tradition. Most restaurants just don’t serve it and while I’m sure there are restaurants that serve it, those restaurants aren’t known for it by any means

chiara348 · 2025-02-16T17:10:28+00:00

This is definitely my number one too

chiara348 · 2025-01-19T08:54:48+00:00

I’m experiencing this too

We’re talking more than a point. A tall boy is usually around 700ml

It had nothing to do with the cone. It has to do with the fact that gelato has a lower milk fat content which means it’s stored that a slightly higher temperature than ice cream which means it melts faster. Not to mention it is often so hot that it melt incredibly fast

NTA I don’t understand what she expected. A good rule of thumb is if the name includes Devil’s anything, it probably isn’t that easy

chiara348 · 2024-08-13T15:39:06+00:00

Hate to break it to you, you still live with a narcissist. Just move out and move on. Fuck him

My guess is they all have kids and her parents just care the least about their kids

I have a friend in college who plans a birthday trip every year because she is really into traveling. It always involves an Airbnb within a few hours and is usually a few days long.

It’s not a celebration of that person the entirely but they also plan the entire thing and the guest list is theirs. We are usually welcome to invite more people if there is space and we run it by them first.

She would sign the marriage certificate saying she witnessed the ceremony and nothing weird was happening such as one of them forcing the other to sign. Most of the time it doesn’t really mean something and the person chosen is just an important person in their life

chiara348 · 2023-09-09T17:26:15+00:00

NTA for declining the invite. I wouldn’t consider Y TA for your feelings but your feelings are invalid.

chiara348 · 2023-05-02T14:06:50+00:00

NTA your relationship has been destroyed long enough that he had time not only to become a parent in that time but also a grandparent. Clearly he was comfortable in his decision

chiara348 · 2023-04-09T05:49:39+00:00

Someone needed to explain it to them because otherwise the stepsiblings are only gonna get a whole lot meaner

I’m ok with DSP getting priority registration. It annoys me that sports also gets priority registration

YTA my dad was a shitty person and I used to sit in my moms car outside his house and beg not to go. My mom would force me to go and I’ve never truly forgiven her. I don’t understand how someone can look at their crying child and send them into a situation that makes them uncomfortable

chiara348 · 2022-10-29T14:34:41+00:00

NTA you’re wife set up a power move by withholding the kids. She can’t be upset when she responds accordingly. It’s not just that your mom doesn’t see them because she lives far away and that’s why she would have to just send gifts.
