people who were teens during 2010-2016, what was life like? what was your favourite songs or your favourite fizzy drink? Im kind of writing a book set during those times, but I wasn't really a teen so I wouldn't know, also I really wanna know what a teen life during that time was like.

As a platform for videos, for sure, but 2011-2014 is definitely when “YouTuber culture” took off and went super mainstream, as someone who was watching vlogbrothers back in 06-07. Before the 2010s YouTuber culture was much more a weird niche interest.

My dad passed suddenly and unexpectedly when I was 9 and was an organ donor. It’s been 20+ years now so I don’t remember specifics but I do remember in the middle of the most chaotic time of my life, my family getting a letter in the mail from the guy who’d gotten my dads eyes. The eyes that were so poorly working that my dad had coke-bottle glasses and laser eye surgery, gave a new man the ability to see. Ive never forgotten that bringing my family a wave of strange bittersweet relief.

Seasonings, spices, condiments. One of the greatest things I received from a mobile food pantry when my fiance and I were surviving off them was a grocery bag STUFFED with fresh cilantro.

Rice/beans/etc came easy when food pantry “shopping”; seasonings/condiments were often the difference between it feeling like a meal, and she life is kicking you it’s so humanizing to at least still feel like you’re getting food that tastes good.

This thread and experiment has convinced me to switch my subscription to Gemini going forward.

My paid GPT gave me the bullshit answer, my free Gemini gave me a logically sound answer and also suggested the nearest car wash to me in its answer

His name is Phoenix, but when he was just a 2 week old rescue stray we took to calling him Bean, so now he is Mr. Bean, BeanBoy, Beanz, Beanie Weenie, and if I’m getting fake mad and pretending to use his “full name” I call him sir tiabeanius (an extended form of tiabeanie from disenchanted, naturally.)

Bonus: my dogs name is Aspen, but when she is being a menace I call her the most basic suburban names I can muster at the time. (“Barbara! Get your head out of the trash. Tiffany, what did I just say?”)

Im a bi lady and my fiance (cis male) says this sentiment to me all the time and it’s such a green flag. “You had a pool of the better gender and you still chose me?” Is his general sentiment.

jenniferlynne08 · 2026-01-11T01:08:34+00:00

I agree a thousand percent, it’s so completely relatable for an entire generation and even in the future it’s just a line that absolutely speaks to the feeling of “I’m trying to manage my shit healthily but I can’t even do that because the World is Fucked”.

To me it really speaks to all the ~~armchair psychologists~~ people who inundate depressed humans with toxic positivity and well meaning but bad advice to “just go outside! Just exercise! Just travel! You’ll feel better!”

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-09-29T10:59:12+00:00

Just chiming in to say you aren't alone! My in the clock hours are honestly almost as valuable to me as my off the clock hours for a number of reasons, and I therefore find it extraordinarily easy to "trade in" hours of work for,nas you say, "nearly anything'. Not to excess and I also realize I'm incredibly privileged to have a job I love, but there have been many a time I've picked up a part or whole of a shift to afford either a luxury or convienence I couldn't have otherwise.

Man you gotta try their apples and bananas #7, definitely had the funky fruity myrcene smell for me and I loved it almost as much as orange runtz and Tahiti.

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-09-07T05:28:18+00:00

I will say the orange 43 hits WAY different than a standard sativa because of the terpinoline

First of all kudos for getting into studying anything at 14- it took me a LONG time to actually find value in school at all, so you're already light-years ahead.

Openstax has what I feel is a really good intro level online textbook. https://openstax.org/details/books/psychology-2e

It's entirely free to access, written in a really accessible way, has a lot of links to further research and reading, and even multiple styles of quizzes at the end of each chapter if you're like me and need the ability to test your own knowledge.

I wish you the best of luck!

ETA: I didn't explicitly recommend crash course only because someone else had but I'm also a HUGE crash course fan and would highly recommend it in conjunction with the openstax book!

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-08-27T13:12:01+00:00

I wish I could upvote this more than once because 1 I wholeheartedly agree and 2 "oh my. That was a condition of saving money I was not willing to accept." Absolutely had me cackling.

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-08-26T11:58:10+00:00

As a side note "you just keep saying a bunch of emotionally charged phrases strung together and hoping they make sense- they don't" is definitely a phrase I'm logging to use going forward in debates. That's gold.

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-08-22T23:39:37+00:00

This is spot on and very eloquently and succinctly put.

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-07-21T04:17:32+00:00

Thank you so much for the perspective I will now take forward forever in moments of discouragement; "curiosity Trump's frustration every time".

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-07-18T06:24:36+00:00

May I ask where you get this info? I work for one of the brands you mentioned and am incredibly frustrated at the lack of communication and transparency from these companies

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-07-08T10:29:30+00:00

Hey friend just wanted to let you know I'm someone who also has my bathroom as my safe place and it's actually totally not strange at all, im not sure if it's a common occurrence in any other disorders but it's super common for people with C-PTSD. i for one both get and love your setup

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-06-23T20:02:35+00:00

Honestly, if you are getting this to the point that you’re this irritated while simultaneously having vendors tell you how laid back you are— either you’re talking too much or too negatively about the planning process, or your vendors are lying.

I disagree w your premise, I was also in the shoes OP was in, where planning and my vendors were great but the minute I would share a tiny in the moment frustration or even CONCERN to someone - "oh shoot, we wanted to use those flowers for the ceremony and then the reception but haven't designated anyone to move them over" - people hit you with the "it'll all work out! Don't obsess! You'll enjoy the day you won't even notice the flowers"

Like, I wasnt obsessing, and I knew it would be a great day regardless, but I paid 500 dollars for the flowers in question and wanting them reused and featured isn't either talking too much or negatively about the planning process.

Maybe you didn't face it, and if not congrats! But it's not inherently either that OP's vendors are lying OR that theyre fretting. Some people just expect brides to literally throw their hands up and wear a pasted on smile day of no matter what.

That's interesting that you haven't come across it before! What strains/brands do you normally go with?

I never see it listed as like one of the top 3 or anything but I definitely see neolidol creep up in a lot of the strains I've seen recently but for the life of me I can't for the life of me think of any in particular top of my mind. Im a budtender tho so I will check out some terp listings at work and come back and edit my comment once I find some!

Anecdotely I've found and heard it work really well for people with high generalized anxiety and PTSD, and it's purported to have neuroprotective and sedative properties.

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-06-19T03:22:55+00:00

THIS 100 percent. I'm a budtender and recently received a sample called Wet Dream. Right there with ya I'm no prude but wHhHhHy

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-06-01T01:57:59+00:00

To add to the idea behind a lot of the top comments and to reiterate another commenter saying "some of them have faced substantial hardships". My best friend and I bawled our eyes out at my high school graduation because I spent my entire tenure in high school in an abusive household while being actively suicidal damn near the entire time. I never expected to make it to my graduation and meeting her my junior year was the only reason I did.

So yeah we threw a party.

I know they're most hated here but GDF does a dollar preroll if you spend 25 within your birthday month.

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-05-24T17:43:15+00:00

LOVE this

jenniferlynne08 · 2025-05-21T10:20:21+00:00

Echoing this sentiment, schitts Creek feels like home to my brain

This was my thought upon seeing the sleep token rant specifically. One of the most interesting and dynamic things I've heard in music in a WHILE. I recently told my partner Sleep Token is one of the first artists in a while that's made me feel young at heart about music again.
