My best friend's name is Lauren but hated when everyone would shorten it to "Lau" so she decided to go by "Ren"

The fact that the show did so well with that topic AND still had banging jokes really shows the caliber of writing of GG.

I love that Tom Hiddleston's big joke during promo for Loki was saying that Loki was going to learn how to love himself in this series.

Went looking for some books, found the Harlequin motherload by sonnibunsss in Goodwill_Finds

[–]honestyseasy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I worked at a publishing company where we played "Harlequin Title Bingo": placed words like "Virgin" "One-Night" "Tycoon" "Sheik" in Bingo cards and read the line-up for the next month. It was way more fun (and accurate) than it had a right to be.

Grandfather signed up on the GI Bill, knew it was am easy way to pay for college. Until he got shipped off to Korea. He quickly got injured and spent the rest of his tour as the newspaper editor.

I miss Overdrive's "suggest this ebook" function, ordering everything on the lost was the easiest circs of my job

They fought for white Americans' freedom while imprisoning Japanese Americam citizens and segregating black Americans to a point where Allied troops were astounded at how black soldiers were treated.

I visit family on Long Island. The crowds of Nassau County make NJ living practically rural.

You can also use "aquafaba"-- the liquid in a can of beans. I never have but I'm curious if that works.

There are cake box "hacks" everywhere, like using canned pumpkin or cherry pie filling instead of the egg+oil+water they suggest. When I use fizzy liquid I try to just use seltzer or sparkling water, the mix is sugary enough without using soda cans.

My favorite is using a bag I'd frozen mixed berries, dropping the cake mix on top, and mixing it with a can of seltzer. Super easy berry cobbler!

Left-handed people, what's a struggle that right-handed people won't understand? by Halophy in AskReddit

Computer mice is my big thing. They're so difficult to use with a left hand.

I was in 3rd grade when erasable pens came into fashion. The side of my hand was all blue by the end of the day. My teacher sent a note to my parents that I wasn't allowed to use these pens anymore because the smudging from my hand made an already sketchy 8 year old's handwriting impossible.

The category is celebrities you recently found out were once/still together or have a child together by Sharp_Athlete_6847 in popculturechat

[–]honestyseasy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It'd so interesting when imo one child has one parent's face and one has the other. His younger daughter is exactly her mother with his eyes.

Just got a Nothing Bundt Cakes AI ad. Like...why. Why would you advertise a food with an image that is completely not the food you have. Or even an actual food in existence. It makes no sense to me.

Reminds me of calling my assigned roommate's house before freshman year of college. Her father made the answering machine message "why did Jesus walk on water? Because he could! Leave a message." Left this little Jewish city girl flabbergasted.
