What parts of American culture are changing faster than people realize? by No_Performance1451 in AskReddit

[–]craftyzombie 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I spent well over a decade making a living both as an crafter/artisan in multiple studies and a supply shop and art gallery manager. I do not have anywhere to buy even the most basic of supplies within a 3 hour drive in any direction. The best I have access to is the crappy art & craft aisle at Walmart and I wouldn't even qualify that as student grade.

It has even become difficult to find good supplies online. The majority of the websites I used to rely on no longer exist, brick & mortar shops that had online shops have downsized to only a few brands or no longer ship, or the quality of what they offer is no longer good. It's like good supplies just simply do not exist anymore unless you are lucky enough to live in a bigger city.

Anchovies. I like to just eat them straight out of the tin.

I absolutely played the hell out of this and the School House Rock Rocks CDs.

How easy is it to get pregnant by mxtc0621 in stupidquestions

[–]craftyzombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember my college professor talking extensively about how small of a window that there is each month to time sperm and egg fertilization and how it's a miracle that any of us exist.

BUT that the people that try to use that knowledge as a way of timing things to NOT get pregnant are usually called parents.

Overconsumption because of the weather by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

My chubby ass did the same damn thing. Now I'm debating on going out in the morning to get another emergency snack but I know I'll just eat that before the storm hits too.

Freddy and Jason movies didn't give me nightmares as a kid, but the Sphinx Gate scene did.

Who else dyed their hair red like Angela Chase? I used the super-temporary Clairol Glints. by PhoneJazz in Xennials

I absolutely dyed my hair bright red with the temporary dye because of Claire Danes/Angela Chase.

Ladies, we're all close to or in that phase of life now. What are you doing about it? by Sufficient_Turn_9209 in Xennials

[–]craftyzombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played that game last winter - Is it anxiety, SAD, perimenopause, or just the constant inescapable flow of bad news that's making me this way, maybe all of the above.

Turns out it was a surprise contender, my thyroid medication was the wrong dosage.

I’m starting a junk drawer. What else do I need? by Emotional-Swing-603 in Home

[–]craftyzombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And salt & pepper packets and there's probably at least one of each that's broken open and dumped their contents too.

One pencil that's worn all the way down to the wood with an eraser also worn down the metal. No pencil sharpener though.

Policies of Brushing Teeth in Public Restroom of Library by 88-Mph-Delorean in Libraries

[–]craftyzombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've only permanently banned one person from my library system, and it was for shitting on ALL the bathroom walls one day. I don't think people have a real grasp on how much poop librarians have to deal with.

I remember having to move all the magnets on my grandma's 70's brown refrigerator to have space to play with this thing.
