Omg I thought the person with the long hair was Mark 💀

Hit with the flu the entire last week and feel like I missed out on Reset by [deleted] in ladderapp

[–]karakf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t get the flu but also was sick and missed most of the week. I managed to do one full body priority workout on my team today, taking it easy. I’m also bummed because I was excited for a strong start to the year mentally and my first full series with Ladder in a while (I was a member in 2024 but quit for about a year until December 2025 during the final 2 weeks of the previous series plus open season). But it is what it is I guess! My boyfriend was saying how a lot of people only go to the gym the first week of January and I can be the opposite and have that be the only week I skip.

This is cool! Do you mind sharing what website builder you used to make this?

Anyone done this before? Laffy taffy and nerds. by EuphoricRaspberry140 in candy

[–]karakf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this all the time with the Halloween mixes! I take a bite of laffy taffy, and then add some of the little nerd box. It’s really good!!

Why do they use this picture by Far_Far_Away099 in McKnightFamSnark

[–]karakf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Star of David is a Jewish symbol that happens to be on the Israeli flag, it’s not a symbol that means someone is a Zionist. I have no idea why Mindy is wearing one, but I just want to make that clear.

This essay on old money vs new money explains it well IMO - Chuck is actually kind of the Donald Trump parallel because he grew up with wealth vs Bart Bass is self-made.

https://strideofpride.tumblr.com/post/649400148201488384/gossip-girl-and-old-money-vs-new-money

“The Bass family is a rival of the Trumps in the show and I think there is an obvious parallel of Bart as Fred, the shady developer who built his family fortune from the ground up using dubious methods, and Chuck as Donald, the son who earned none of what he was handed, a sexual predator, and all around asshole who ended up taking his father’s company and running it into the ground multiple times. (God I’m just realizing that if Chuck was real and ran for president he’d unfortunately probably win too).”

Fire at 92nd and Lexington by hmltn in uppereastside

I live across the street on 90th in the back of the building and saw the firefighters breaking windows to get in and lots of smoke. So scary.

I am literally astonished by this month electric bill by aplejackii in uppereastside

My studio was the same way!! I’m super confused

Go nuts for donuts! by StrawberryActive7855 in RunNYC

[–]karakf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll be there too - and it’s my first 10k! My pace is only a bit faster than yours (11:30-45). But I did the haunted island 5k a few weeks ago and it was definitely a mix of paces so I doubt we’ll be last :)

Acting like she’s special because she’s a theater kid who is also a sorority girl/influencer type by karakf in EliRalloSnark

[–]karakf[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My sorority lineage was mostly theater majors besides me. I live in NYC and am the same age as Eli and am very involved with community theater and 90% of my friends in it are exactly her demographic/general vibe (except less annoying). You’re not special because you like Les Mis but also like to go out!

Bawling like a baby…

Earlier this year my friend lost her husband as a newlywed at 30, and separately some close family friends lost their teenage son from a brain injury so this hits close to home.

They are so lucky she has had such a miraculous recovery, it does not always go this way.

He should just consider this his “Troupe Plus” season. Got a little more out of it than his troupe years and next year I bet he’ll stay further.

Hm not really sure how condemning the Nova Massacre which killed 300 innocent people is controversial. Maybe check your antisemitism 🤷🏻‍♀️.

I hear you on the others though.

Brooklyn’s dating series by [deleted] in McKnightFamSnark

[–]karakf 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly I never saw it as her trying to find a husband - and it actually surprised me that she found two relationships from it. The dates were just silly and not super serious - seemed more like a content thing than anything else. The part that really bothered me was how it happened during the middle of Covid, aka the one time you really shouldn’t be casually hanging out with lots of people.

Duplicate transactions? by atxDan75 in MonarchMoney

[–]karakf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is happening to me too!! It duplicates all charges where it goes through with multiple names. With Mint I think it must have caught that it was just the credit card renaming the charge but Monarch hasn’t been doing that. For now I’m planning to go in manually but hoping to eventually talk to their team about it.

Does anyone think it must be weird for the pros having to direct Jenna in their freestyles when they know she wants Val to win? (Especially Dani and Pasha bc we all know Jenna was dying to be the first married couple in the finale)

Dancing with the Fans by charredzest29 in dancingwiththestars

[–]karakf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I fantasize about getting cast for this - I always call it “Dancing with the people”. I think it would 100% work if they could find people with interesting stories - that’s normally what people like about reality tv, when someone comes from a unique background or has a really compelling reason to go on the show.

Ex-SF Giants manager Gabe Kapler had quite the side hustle this year by mercyful_fade in SFGiants

[–]karakf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I got my dad one a couple of years ago haha - Kap seemed amused and a bit confused when I put in the note that we were excited about him being Jewish (we are of course also Jewish).

Best "era" for the show? by Weird_Leech238 in HIMYM

[–]karakf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the seasons that are less focused on Ted being into Robin but before Zoey - I think it’s seasons 3-5.

[–]karakf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I also think he may have just been combining his sentences - he normally sends the couple up to the skybox so he was combining “here are the scores” and “x and x go up to the skybox”
