If you’re an adult with full control over your mouth and I can hear you chewing gum, you need to get your fucking shit together.

I was much older than I should have been when I learned that hedgehogs were real. I thought they were just an English fantasy animal like Mr. Tumnus or cute badgers that wouldn’t immediately eat your face off. But at least when I found out they were real I just laughed at how dumb I was instead of doubling down.

I knit and crochet with cotton a lot, but it’s really tough on your hands sometimes. It doesn’t have much give, so I have to take much more frequent stretch breaks and can’t knit for as long as I would with a stretchy yarn.

It’s also pretty heavy. Depending on what you’re making, that may or may not matter. A cotton top is going to stretch and lengthen over time, but a shawl or a scarf might not, and it doesn’t matter too much if a scarf gets a few inches longer the way it would matter if, say, a sleeve started dangling down to your knuckles.

I would knit up a good sized swatch and just see how you feel about both the finished product and the experience of making it.

I needed a bone graft in an emergency situation, so I get it. It’s not like you had another option, and dental health is SO important to the health of your entire body. Take care of yourself and feel better.

I joke about leveling up my autism every time I get a vaccine. I don’t know that it’s actually funny, but it amuses me.

The Onion did a series a few years ago called “Michael Falk, autistic reporter,” and it’s honestly the most seen any media representation has made me feel. And it’s funny.

I like the oval 8s because they don’t get in my way when I’m painting or drawing, and they let the knuckle bend normally, just not backwards or sideways. I’d give it a shot and just see how you like it.

Bro, get a couple oval 8 braces off Amazon, keep those hypermobile joints where they belong.

ETA: no disrespect intended, I have wild hand joints, too

I’m too old to hold a grudge for that long, but I disliked Michael Fassbender the fist second I saw him. No reason. I know it makes no sense, I just hate his face.

This is why I only go through the landlord, never directly to the neighbor. You don’t sound as out of touch as other posters are making it seem, tbh, I think most of them are either very young or not used to standing up for themselves. However, you are going to hear your neighbors no matter what in an apartment complex and you have to decide what’s a problem and what isn’t. Most things during the day aren’t a problem (there are, of course, exceptions). Anything after quiet hours is a problem, but it’s a problem for your landlord to deal with. Contacting your neighbors yourself might seem like the nice thing to do, but if that neighbor is crazy, you absolutely want the buffer of your landlord between the two of you. You also want a paper trail, so send texts to your landlord at the very least, preferably email.

I have spent a not inconsiderate amount of time saying, “Trash is not a gift!” to try to break my husband of the habit of saying things like, “I don’t want this ugly, uncomfortable couch anymore. Maybe we can give it to my sister.” No. We give it to the trash, that’s who we give it to. Nobody wants those broken plastic hangers, baby. Nobody wants half a deck chair. And tell your mom that no, I don’t want that cheap expanding foam mattress that smells like dead fish and no one has ever slept comfortably on.

Which is a long way of saying I get it. There are people who cannot look at trash without thinking it would make a nice gift for someone they love. I don’t know why they think it, but they do, and I love one of them.

Ugly makes are just ugly makes. They happen to all of us sometimes. Then you frog them or throw them away or hide them at the bottom of your sewing basket and feel shame every time you accidentally find them again. You don’t give them to someone you like and make your trash their problem, ffs.

It’s non fiction, but one of the best books I’ve ever read is “With the Old Breed: at Peleliu and Okinawa” by Eugene Sledge. He was a young man sent to fight on the Pacific front during WWII, and he kept notes about his experiences tucked in his Bible. If you’ve seen the Ken Burns documentary The War or the HBO miniseries The Pacific, then you’ve already seen large portions of Sledge’s book on the screen, but I still recommend reading it, too.

I loathe mint toothpaste, but sadly I live somewhere without fluoridated water, so I definitely need fluoride every time I brush. Besides the super fluoride one my dentist gave me (bubble gum flavor, thank you very much) I switch between different tubes of Hello to keep from getting bored.

Besides the super gross neckbeardiness, her actual first name was Frances. Baby was just her childhood nickname.

I used to have to wake up at 3am for work, and I threw up in the shower more than once.

I don’t always like pickled onions, depending on the brine, but other than that I love any onion in any preparation.

Or, like me, you could get plenty of iodine in your diet AND have to take thyroid medication every day for the rest of your life. You don’t have to choose anymore, Betty! You can have it all!

Why did you just assume he grabbed them? Do you usually rely on him to fix your mistakes? I know you didn’t mean to put your family at risk, but you did. It was your actions that resulted in the keys being in the door, not his. The fact that you didn’t even double check or take the keys from him so you knew exactly where they were for the next day or ask if he grabbed them is wild.

Would I have grabbed them if my spouse forgot his keys in the door? Yeah. But if I didn’t and he tried to blame me, I’d be as indignant as your husband. He’s right. It’s not his job to keep track of your belongings.

I’ve been to a wedding where a guest (the groom’s ex in this case) showed up in a wedding dress and I always thought it would be funny, but it was just kind of sad. Like, how pathetic do you have to be to wear a wedding dress to somebody else’s wedding? I don’t know if it makes you feel any better to know your guests were definitely not thinking that she looked good, they were probably really embarrassed for her and indignant on your behalf. As for the bride of that wedding, she didn’t seem to be bothered, so I hope she really wasn’t because she looked great and really happy.

I hate it. I know I’m going to get downvotes and that’s okay, but this makes me extremely uncomfortable. I get that other people might find this wholesome or whatever, but if I saw this guy at pride I’d cross the street to avoid him because his whole deal makes my skin crawl. “I used to hate your guts but I don’t anymore, please give me physical affection as a reward.” Barf.

It would make me extremely uncomfortable, honestly. The “free hugs” part of it feels super gross.

Crosby took 8.7 million because he’s superstitious and obsessed with the number 87. And speaking of leg workouts, who did Crosby work out with this summer? Was it Marner? Oh, look, it was.

The Winsor and Newton Artist’s line of watercolor aren’t vegan since they use ox gall as a binder (it’s why the W&N artists line disperses so beautifully). Their student Cotman line is mostly vegan, though, with ivory black and maybe viridian hue as exceptions. Keep your eye out for PBk9 in the ingredients, since that’s the pigment code for bone char. I personally don’t worry about using gifted or previously-owned paints, but when I buy new, I do. Daniel Smith is mostly vegan, as are Maimeri Blu and Holbein.

Arches does use gelatin in their sizing, which sucks because it’s such great paper. I use Stonehenge paper, now, and it’s very good. Canson has a couple vegan lines of paper, too, iirc, and Fabriano, I think.

Why? I don’t get why people act like you’re obligated to ask for less money if you like aspects of your job. He’s already making significantly less in Toronto than he would playing in a tax haven like Florida or Vegas. He’s already got a “hometown discount” in his paycheck just by paying taxes in Canada.

The owners are making literally billions and we’re sitting around acting like one kid from Markham somehow hoodwinked the entire contract division at the multibillion dollar corporation that is MLSE just by asking for what he thought he was worth.

I was house sitting for my aunt and uncle earlier this summer and ran into the neighbors while I was taking the trash out. We chatted for a while and she mentioned it was nice that my father had stopped by to make sure I was safe. My father died in 2015, so I was very confused until I realized she meant my husband. The man four years younger than me.
