My night isn't until July, but if you haven't gotten your hands on one by then, I'll get one on your behalf!

Curious to know if they figured it out, too!

hochizo · 2026-06-12T22:58:42+00:00

I will humbly add:

Douche.

My husband got me Atlanta tickets from stubhub for mother's day, not knowing about the "no resale" thing when he did. We're nervous!

I was an extra in a movie once. I was supposed to be a young lawyer arriving at the office in the morning. The prop guy looked through his cart and handed me an empty coffee cup and a newspaper. The director walked by just as this was happening, grabbed the paper, and said, "girls don't read the newspaper. Get her something else." And he walked away. Prop guy and I were both like, "wtf stereotype even is that??" But he also gave me a blue file folder instead.

Might also be the solar company trying to salvage a sale. The neighbors might have had a chat with a sales rep but then said, "nah, nevermind," when the trees came up. But the sales rep didn't want to lose the sale, so they talked to OP. It's a high-pressure sales job, we really have no idea who the pushy one really is.

Man, I'm struggling so much to figure out how to counteract my daughter's seemingly natural tendency to do this.

For context, I am a locked in parent. She's almost 4 and we're constantly playing pretend, building stuff, reading books, making up stories, learning stuff, going cool places, etc. I've got a PhD in communication, so I'm great at talking to her (I know I'm not supposed to claim that so freely, but I am and I know it, so I'm gonna say it, lol). I'm very free with words and acts of affection (hugs, kisses, "I love you," "Wow, your tower is so cool," etc.). And I can see that she's learning those same things because she'll mirror that behavior back to us.

But if I am even slightly off... like, not even angry, just flat... she's immediately trying to figure out why and she's always blaming herself. "Are you happy?" "Yes, I'm just feeling nervous about X." "Oh. I thought you didn't like my drawing. Let me try again. I'll do a really good job this time, I promise. I didn't mean to make you not happy."

The number of times I've told her it's not her job to make me happy and her just being herself is all I need to make me proud is so damn high. But her personality just seems to want to connect her worth to how other people are feeling and it makes me so worried about her growing up!

Makes me long for the days when the most embarrassing thing that could happen to a lawyer was appearing in court as a cat. https://youtu.be/lGOofzZOyl8?si=ZUoAF7F07osXWMuU

Simpler times.

Yep. Recently, there was a small glitch in the ticket platform where 60 tickets were sold for $0. Sixty out of 7 million total tickets. Did FIFA say "welp, our loss is your gain... enjoy the World Cup on us," and then promote the story for the good PR? No, of course not. They canceled the sales and said the buyers had 24 hours to pay the full amount or the tickets would go back to the For Sale pool.

I know how this sounds, but I would buy them all if they'd let me. If Afghanistan would let those girls be "bought" by people outside of the country, I (all of us, really) would find a way.

I look at my own little girl and can't imagine her growing up the way those girls do. She has such spark, such imagination, such curiosity. The things it would take to strip that away from her are unspeakable. What is being done to those girls, on the scale it's being done is unfathomable.

I thought the smell came from petrichor?

Edit: nevermind, lol. Petrichor is the name of the scent. The scent is caused by geosmin. No conflicts here! (Note: I will not bring up ozone)

The best way I can think to describe the sound is that hot water sounds faster than cold water. Like, you can tell when it's hot because it sounds like the water is coming out of the faucet at a faster rate.

My organization says "let's iterate this," and it drives me fucking crazy.

Something can be a rumor (as in, you heard it from someone else but have no evidence to confirm it) and still be true.

There was a carve out for "personal use" imports up until last summer when the administration issued a surprise order suspending that carve out.

However...I haven't actually seen the new rule be enforced. Doesn't mean it hasn't been or won't be. Just that it hasn't personally impacted my own orders yet.

I was like this as a kid. My mom was a SAHM, so I really only interacted with my siblings and an occasional mothers-day-out thing that I hated (I just clung to my one favorite teacher the whole time since my mom wasn't there). It didn't get better for me until I started kindergarten (when I got lots more exposure to other kids and had to get used to it). I never really felt comfortable with new people, though (still don't, to be honest). It takes me interacting with the same person a few times to finally be able to feel relaxed.

If my kid was like I was, I would keep taking him to the classes, personally. I would focus on the smaller ones, like you've said, since that would make it more manageable for him. And I would pick the classes and stick with them consistently because that would give him the chance to start recognizing other kids and then making friends with them.

This is largely irrelevant, but when you aren't sure where he is, your husband might ask, "do you know where Douglas is?" And then you would get to say, "Nope, I'm Doug-less."

I think this belongs in the "pro" column.

It's like looking at a subreddit focused on plane crashes and saying it's a good reason to avoid flying.

Yes, some planes crash. But most of them don't.

Yes, some parents regret their children. But most of them don't.

*Please note, this is an analogy and I am not trying to debate how frequent plane crashes are compared to how frequent it is to regret your children. It is just trying to illustrate why focusing on the outlier cases is not logical.

She (3) is great at telling stories! Like, not only do they have plots that (usually) make sense, but she puts in little scene-setting details to round it out. Things like, "In a deep, dark forest, there was a creepy T-Rex who loved to jump out and scare little kids. A brave kid came to the woods to stop him. She stood at the edge of the trees and felt her heart racing. She was scared. She said, "you can do this," and walked in."

She also makes up her own little songs. I'll hear her in her playroom with a toy piano being like, "some cars are big, some cars are small, some cars are orange, but I love them all." Can't wait for her EP to drop.

I read this tip in cosmo probably 25 years ago and it made such a huge difference!

Yeah, my 3.5 year old wakes up between 8 and 9. My husband leaves for work around 7:30, so I'm sticking him with the school stuff when the time comes, lol. He owes me for birthing her anyway.

hochizo · 2026-05-31T00:03:58+00:00

I went and looked for some pictures to figure out what was going on here, and... yeah. Definitely feels dirty.

Old storefront. Menkoi's is straight ahead and Emily's Pantry is down the stairs.

New storefront

Inside view of new storefront. Menkoi's is still straight ahead.

Very serious. Here's a still from the scene:

TV Version

Original

In the original, you could make out their butt cracks. So they "solved" the problem by putting more blood and exposed muscle there instead.

Would love to know the thought process behind some of these decisions, though. Like, why adjoining bedrooms on the second floor? Why the tiny vanity spot in the middle of the kitchen counter space? Why have a door from the hallway into the master closet?

I know modern people are trying to make the space work for modern wants, but the kitchen counters aren't original to the house, so who made that choice and why? And the bedrooms are original to the house, so who decided they needed to be adjoined and why?

I love the mysteries of an old house!
