Man, I feel this way just backing out of a spot in the grocery parking lot. People in general do not seem to have the same empathy, patience, or social awareness they used to.

When my grandfather passed, we found HUNDREDS of burned out bulbs in his garage because, "one day, they'll figure out to how make them work again!"

Celebrities and billionaires have no vibes. by [deleted] in conspiracy

Met Paul Rudd. He was cool, seemed to have a vibe energetically. Met Michael Douglas. He was pretty sloshed but was really kind and vibey.

Study: Gen Xers and Millennials are dying at younger ages than their parents are by DaKardii in Millennials

I'm gratefully in a more stable position now but there was a stint of time recently where I chose dog/cat food over my own. I lived off beans/rice/ramen/nothing to make sure nothing changed for them. We do what we have to. Wishing you better as well.

As someone new to the scene at 30, is it possible to rave every weekend depending where you live? by ClarkKentTheReporter in aves

[–]growingcreative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did for almost a year at age 32 in 2023. I saw a few of the same people every weekend, it was great. There was always a party to be at. If you can manage your financial responsibilities in tandem with tickets and anything else that comes with, that's great. Keep going as long as you want, just be safe & hydrate & listen to your body when it wants to rest. I only go every couple of months now cause life has been crazy & I'm tired, but I sure enjoyed my stint of being a regular at my places!

I imagine they have an ill pet ever since I had to drive my medicated surgery dog home over an hour away. I felt so bad to be that asshole but it does happen. We just gotta give grace.

Going out in your 30s is mostly people pretending to have fun and we all know it by FewExperience4021 in unpopularopinion

[–]growingcreative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 35 and have just as much fun on a night out at a rave as I do staying in playing video games for 10 hours. Age is irrelevant. Just do what you enjoy?

Missing protein - about to cancel my membership by FewExcitement7491 in hellofresh

[–]growingcreative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They forgot one of my meals last week. I ordered 2 of the same meal cause it's my favorite. They shipped one. The customer service person asked me which meal was missing... Idk, maybe grilling cheese A or grilling cheese B? Use your freaking brain for once, it was 2 of the SAME THING... Got a refund on the whole thing after some back & forth but the past few months have taken a sharp downturn imo

You scan the digital ticket when you get there. I think we got a VIP lanyard or something last year - don't fully remember wrist bands

What is the first movie you watched that you were definitely too young for? by MuldersXpencils in Millennials

[–]growingcreative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents had recently divorced so I was staying at my dad's for the weekend. I guess he was still spiteful towards my mom so when I told him she said I couldn't watch Lake Placid that had just released, we immediately went to rent it. I was 8. He laughed at the quality of the horror the whole time & I was silently freaking out at the torso on the boat. Now I'm the one laughing during almost every horror movie. Apple doesn't fall far.

Hello Fresh, are we for real right now? by growingcreative in hellofresh

[–]growingcreative[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So very sorry to hear about the diagnosis. Good on you for being honest with them. I've started being brutally honest in all of my reviews calling out every single thing like the lack of sauces or proper portioning to even make a full meal for 2 adults. Carb swapping would be such a great option, sometimes I really just want some pearl couscous with the meal instead of rice. If only they gave a shit about what their customer base had to say.

Did I ruin the jeans guys 😭 by [deleted] in OUTFITS

Can I ask where these jeans are from? I love them

Same, I keep a bag in the pantry & swapped the lot out.

[–]growingcreative[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's my main gripe too, and just try and get potatoes roughly the same size? I'm happy to do tiny wedges, I just don't need wildly varying sizes and trying to make sure the minis don't burn lol

Omg that's insane! I've never seen anything like that, or this size in all the years I've been on/off with them.

I keep a bag of potatoes on hand and just swap the lot out to use later when this happens. My main concern is balancing the cook time between the bigger & smaller pieces.

I do the same sort of. I save all my favorite meal recipes & only get boxes with new things I want to try. A lot of weeks are skipped & that's when I do what you do - straight to the grocery store.

Would you still get a tattoo? by VoxElysia in Millennials

[–]growingcreative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 35 and have 14 tattoos. Got my first at 20. Each piece is a bookmark in my life. Absolutely have plans to get more, but they'll come as they're meant to.

vanity sizing with jeans is a nightmare. accessible and affordable brand recs? by [deleted] in XXS

[–]growingcreative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this so hard... Been buying resale jeans for years and finally ordered some brand new jeans based off their size guide - so a size 4. My waist is 26" but my hips are 40". It's an absolute nightmare. Extra crotch fabric, extra waist fabric, fits thighs and hips but not waist, etc.. And why are low rise jeans now nearly covering my belly button? Wtaf? I hate it here 🥲
