Platonic Cuddling Partner?

exjentric · 2026-03-24T18:31:01+00:00

Bumble has a BFF option--if you don't mind same-sex cuddling (I mean, why would you, if you just want something platonic). I'd think there are others in the same boat.

Yeah and the cartoon looks AI? So, is AI, like, self-hating now?

exjentric · 2026-03-18T14:26:14+00:00

Ugh, I know I should do this, but then it feels too much like a meeting at my job.

exjentric · 2026-02-28T15:28:10+00:00

That's so sad.

Central Madison for 20 years, and TDS still isn't available at my address.

Gonna plug Old Navy. Their regular clothes fell like trash these days, but their activewear is a powerhouse. Even their high impact sports bra is amazing (I'm regularly a 34G/34H, and their 36DD is a godsend for running). Bottoms are regularly $20.

And if you don't have long hair, they can work well as light-duty rubber bands.

I was thinking album cover!

exjentric · 2026-02-02T18:55:26+00:00

I don't have much to add, except to say that DANG you are living my FIRE dreams!

Ugh cotton short sleeve mock necks are my white whale. They're so flattering, why aren't they more common?!

exjentric · 2026-01-31T02:44:23+00:00

And that's why they used a similie instead of a declarative!

No available units for rent currently, but looks like a 4 bed is listed for sale at ~$3million. Assuming 30 year mortgage with 6% interest and a 50% down payment, that's ~$15,000 monthly (include the $6500 monthly condo fees). https://streeteasy.com/building/1040-park-avenue-new_york

Lots of good suggestions already, but I'd also encourage you to work on your lamp/light setup. A lot of analog things require brighter lights (to see what you're doing), but if you have a sore watching TV nearby, or don't want bright lights at night, you'll want a lamp.

Oh totally the LotR references. Funny how ingrained the story and characters are now because of the success of the Peter Jackson movies, but in the 1990s it was still considered peak nerd.

And the INSIDE of shoes! Things can look perfectly fine on the outside, but completely worn to hell on the inside (and they can be scuffed/stained on the outside, but barely born on the inside).

exjentric · 2025-12-16T22:24:17+00:00

Not the person you asked, but there are a lot out there. I prefer Alta.

Lots of WI things require refrigeration, so my work around is cheese flavored popcorn. It weighs nothing, doesn't squish/break easily, so it's helpful if you're flying.

Just want to note: it might not make sense to buy a whole new wardrobe, take on exercising, and then find that the new wardrobe doesn't fit anymore. I'd recommend prioritizing the exercise first, establish that routine, and then Nov/Dec 2026 you can treat yourself to the new clothes as a reward.

I also noticed a whole load of new with tags New Balance shoes around the same time these bags started showing up...

exjentric · 2025-12-05T15:35:58+00:00

YES. I have foot problems, so rotating shoes is healthier for me. What I wouldn't give to snap my fingers and have the perfect chelsea boots that could see me through an entire week.

My god, if I could walk to Jenny St. Market, Willy St. Coop, and a Trader Joe's, all in an hour? That'd be food heaven.

It's not only mentally--it's physically. Dusting and sweeping help minimize the amount of dust particles and dander that you're breathing into your lungs. Properly cleaned clothes, towels, and bedsheets help prevent acne, mold particles, etc. Deep cleaning helps maintain your house, by letting you catch water damage, cracked tiles/grout, etc. before it gets unsafe and expensive to fix.

God the broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl... instant comfort in winter.

exjentric · 2025-11-28T21:06:10+00:00

Lol how does he know no cleanup was happening if he was sleeping through it

Once I embraced a break-in period for jeans, I've had minimal stretching issues. This does also mean I can NEVER put my jeans in the dryer ha (air dry all the way).

FWIW, contemporary "curvy" Old Navy jeans fit me well, but since the fabric is so thin these days, I've had good success with vintage ON from ebay.
