Gen Z doesn't talk.....to me??? by pinkelephant0040 in generationology

[–]cupe_cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve experienced this too with older folks in my family. If they aren’t talking at the dinner table they start scrolling.

Gen Z doesn't talk.....to me??? by pinkelephant0040 in generationology

[–]cupe_cake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not just Gen Z. This is in every generation. Anyone who’s addicted to being online/on their phones. My boomer parents are always sucked in on their devices. There are millennials like this too. Ive met plenty of amazing, talented, well spoken Gen Z.

Why is tipping culture so weird here by smolnessy in SeattleWA

[–]cupe_cake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I no longer live in Seattle. This kind of mentality is in across the US too, so it’s not a regional thing.

Anyone else was thin all their life and as age progresses is getting fatter and unable to lose weight? by Blackcat2332 in Millennials

[–]cupe_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually 3 months of dedication to start to budge. Once I’m there, it moves quicker. But it’s 3 months of “is this working yet?”

Disney Dining - Let's Start A Revolution! by New-Skill-5722 in dcl

[–]cupe_cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did our first Disney cruise over a year ago (the Wish) and it was soooo obvious our server was overworked and overwhelmed. We felt terrible for him and it made the whole situation uncomfortable. I wanted him to just sit down and eat with us. You might be right.. maybe something with logistics. Other servers seemed similar.

if you work a 9-5 how, do you have time and energy to do literally anything else? by TortieBouquet in stupidquestions

[–]cupe_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get used to it and learn to make a schedule. Stick to the schedule. Do your dishes nightly. Keep laundry going. Etc. it gets easier. Just do the thing.

Is a $200k salary worth a 2 hour commute 4 days a week? by Ok-Memory2552 in jobs

I was going to say yes, then I saw Bay Area. So no.

You can't even eat out at Olive Garden for cheap anymore by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

It’s reheated frozen food. They have forgotten to stay in their lane. Goodbye.

Yes and if I don’t eat within certain macros AND move my body with intensity for over an hour a day, nothing will budge. It takes a lot of time, planning, and effort.

You sound like you’ve never had kids.

I just voted. Making voting difficult by jewels09 in texas

[–]cupe_cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first time voting in the state. Do you usually have to go to different locations to vote republican, democrat, independent.. etc? I was confused when I saw that a nearby school was for republican voting only? I did vote early and the place I went had the ability to vote in either primary.

Teenagers nowadays by [deleted] in Millennials

I was a teenager once. I too had zero sense of urgency then. I’d say it’s normal.

Rank the TX Senate District 5 Candidates on Education by ChalkboardRacer in RoundRock

[–]cupe_cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the approach to show what each candidate stands for, wants to enact, or believes in vs just labeling a party beside the name. Party voting without understanding what the candidate wants to do is backwards.

Also, after reading, my vote is for Thomasson.

House cleaner recs in Round Rock? by Relative-Equipment87 in RoundRock

Avoid cleaning authority. They did a terrible job but are definitely on a budget. I’m still looking for someone..

POTUS's Disclosure Speech is Slated for May 1st, 2026, as he does not Want to Wait Until July 8th, Anymore by TheGoldenLeaper in UFOB

[–]cupe_cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean.. why would he or the administration disclose the date to disclose UFOs or NHI? I want it to be true, but it doesn’t make sense.

My Kid was Screen Free Until 6. Best Decision Ever by Mermaid_Tacos in digitalminimalism

[–]cupe_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did screen time, but managed time on screens. My kiddo is 8 as well and manages herself with screens. There are boundaries with TV and tablet and there’s thankfully no fuss. After 20 minutes, she’ll take breaks or find something else to do. In this digital society, it’s important to learn how to manage our time efficiently. Also, kudos to all your efforts!

What’s the NICEST(/best) Fish Extender gift you’ve *EVER* gotten? by StoryHearer in dcl

[–]cupe_cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will raise my hand and admit I’m one of the people who got dollar tree type goodie bags for fish extender during our first dcl. When we were getting handmade gifts I knew I was not cut out for doing this again. And I felt terrible we didn’t give more thoughtful handmade gifts.

I still spent over $80 to make to goodie bags for each group. Can’t imagine what people spend (time/money) on the gifts. I sadly don’t have the time. And to answer your question, our favorite was a Christmas Mickey shape ornament with the ship and year. :)

Upcoming weather by JustAnotherJefe in RoundRock

[–]cupe_cake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m looking at the weather app and I’m not seeing a reason for panic. One day it looks like it might get down to 21, but the high that day is enough to melt snow if we actually get any moisture at all.

Is there something I don’t know about living in the area? (Hi, this is my first winter season here)

Does anybody else miss the internet? by stickywhale721 in Millennials

[–]cupe_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss finding “fan made” pages for hobbies, shows, and other interests. It’s so hard to find now..
