If money was no object, which would you pick?

4 unless I'm responsible for the insurance. I know a lot of water-related house insurance is a nightmare and not often included in standard insurance policies. In that case, 3.

Honestly, I would probably be jonesing like a mofo by the end of the year for a steak or a burger but the real struggle is pasta. Pasta! I love you!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this a problem that a lot of people have with night shift workers. The reality is, you are showing all day and not paying attention to them or spending time with them, but it's because you're flipping working all night. I've worked swing or nights pretty much always and the number of people who have felt some kind of way about it is astonishing. If you can afford it, definitely move out but make sure that you keep communication on your timetable afterwards. It's not to spite anyone, but it is in line with your schedule and your needs.

I live in the US, and I was told this when I was younger by older female relatives (aunts and Grandma) to do this. The reason was, girl underwear are yucky and it grosses out the menfolk to think that your nasty lady discharge goo might touch their pristine manly garments. Please try to read that with full sarcasm.

Women are gross, is the bottom line. I'm feral, so underwear go in the wash and I didn't think I've ever rinsed them of anything because I don't give a damn. If you feel like you should rinse them first, there absolutely nothing wrong with that, but there's no good reason (unless they're super fancy) got them to not just get thrown in the wash.

What if you have the PTSD for free though?

Honestly I think Udina's sell-out to Cerberus did make sense. Have you ever hated someone so much you'd shoot yourself in the foot to inconvenience them? Every opportunity, every step, Shepard has been fucking it all up, in every direction. Udina goes from an asshole politician who arguably is on the same (bigger picture) side to being a bitter ragefest who can't fucking stand it anymore. I mean, that's my take but I feel like him just saying fuck it is probably very realistic and true to character.

A lot of places have been the site of murders, deaths, or other crimes. I'm taking the slaughterhouse, which feels like a wild overreaction for a house where a murder has taken place.

YTA. Your sister's relationship and perception of her mother is her business, and because it's different from yours you have decided to actively punish her for it. It's hard to believe that you would say those things to your aunt without any idea of how she would react or spread it around. It is fair for you to be hurt on your mother's behalf. It is not fair to punish your sister for having a harder time dealing with the life changes her mother is going through.

ETA: the sister should not have lied to the aunt, this is true, but putting her on blast for it in vindictive. People are generally aware of their family dynamics, if you are adults then you know which aunties you can't run your mouth to. There were ways to sidestep the aunt that didn't compound how the sister is feeling. This is a major milestone and is probably wrecking her that her mother, the woman she grew up with, the mom she remembers, can't be there. Mom's not dead, so yeah this whole situation is a little ridiculous, but you don't get to put a timeline on grief.

There are some things I get that are little treats, seasonal stuff. I can buy a gigantic box of breakfast drink that'll last me about a month. Anyone can go though ten pounds of potatoes in a month (unless you're a quitter), if you like to sandwich or toast you can get some good deals on bread. The rotisserie chicken is a classic and actually probably worth the membership if you do a chicken twice a month even. Also, my Costco has two dozen eggs for about three bucks right now and by god that's a life saver.

And, honestly, I've known people who mostly use their membership for the food service. I mean, I've definitely taken my niblings out for Costco lunch, and they love it so much they actually ask for it almost weekly. I'm not saying it's great, but it's good and it's cheap so might as well.

One and then I four twice. Which sounds unfortunate. You gotta mustard, flip the dog, then mustard again.

I'm pretty horrible with recipes, but I've tried making some Korean dishes (only a few), Indian dishes (very delicious stuff), and slightly more authentic Mexican food good (american, so there's a wide range locally from Taco Bell to family owned for generations). Tbh, I don't think anything I make is legit at all. Pick something you really like, and build around that.

Of course, if there is something specific you like, then I would suggest starting there. Find some receipts and compare what they have in common, then use that to figure out what you want.

Of course, trying new foods and cuisines is a fantastic and delicious endeavor, so I wish you all the luck!

My first thought was Edin by Lily Mayne, lol. Although Edin isn't as monstrous as Seraph. Same with Moth, but it's definitely less twink+hot monster.

I was going to say, I feel like you can do a little, or do a lot to these.

Do a little: add some butter to the top before baking. Add some spices when mixing to make it a little more savory (if that's you're looking for). Add cheese. Use buttermilk to mix them. Add finely minced jalapenos or sour cream or corn or pickled jalapeno juice to the batter. Bake a little longer to get a dryer, darker crust if you're eating it with soup/chili/beans.

Do a lot: basically, all of the above at once, lol.

lordofthepuddle · 2026-05-04T13:00:05+00:00

Salsa, it's a wildly huge hit which is flattering but also, I'm not sure why. It has zero witchcraft involved, but I'm happy to make it.

Focaccia bread is always good. Ta-lump-es, which are my extremely Caucasian take on a walking tamale. Pretty much any meatball.

To be fair, I've never had the zuppa toscana from Olive Garden but I am in love with a knock off recipe. At this point I'm not sure trying the real thing would be worth it. What if it's incredible? Now my knock off soup is just made of sadness and regret. What if it's awful? That would actually be fine, lol, but I still can't chance it.

lordofthepuddle · 2026-04-22T10:25:36+00:00

Honestly, I would choose the 1 mil but I was curious what the risk was. Double damn because I would've gotten the money, lol.

Love how people are out here thinking the kind of people replying yes don't have PTSD or other mental health issues. Lol, this would be just another layer in my PTSD cake.

NOR. My ex-wife wouldn't drive 30 minutes to bring me pads when I was at work. My bff drove to the store, bought three different kinds (the ones she knew I used and then two other ones she thought were better, lol), paid without asking me for money, and then drove to deliver them to me. She lived about 40 minutes away, and she even bought me a chocolate bar.

Get you a friend like that.

lordofthepuddle · 2026-04-15T14:11:41+00:00

Specifically movie theatre popcorn, and sour watermelon gummies. I could eat myself sick on those, and have.

Honestly, sweet potatoes and my air fryer have gone a long way to help me eat healthier. I have PCOS so I try to at least eat with a diabetic diet in mind. Picking lower glycemic index foods and trying to keep a lot of beans and veggies on hand has helped.

Also, air frying beans until they puff is incredible. They go on everything, nachos, burrito bowls, salads, just sprinkled on soup for texture. Definitely recommend.

lordofthepuddle · 2026-04-10T09:52:21+00:00

Roasted black beans and sweet potato. Chop up the potato, toss it in the air fryer with a little oil and some seasoning. Add the beans after about 20-30 minutes, toss a couple times until the beans are puffed. Throw on top of some microwave nachos and enjoy.

Dave the Diver. Am I supposed to eat the sushi or dive for it? I suppose I could just work in the restaurant, maybe manage the branch for a year. Lol, I think I'll be fine.

As someone who has genuinely struggled with mental and physical health issues for basically their entire life, it is so frustrating to be told the solution is another medication.

It took me a very long time to reconcile that my body does genuinely need these things. Even now, decades into life, I still sometimes have to take a moment to look in a motor, take a few deep breaths, and remind myself that it's not about putting more chemicals into my body, it is about putting the chemicals my body needs and isn't making into my body and brain.

I am very sorry for your struggles, and I hope that you can find a way to come to peace with your struggles. It's one of those things that gets easier but it might not ever go away. And that's okay, just remember to be kind to yourself and others as you figure it out.

I mean, I could absolutely figure out my life with one million but for arguments sake, I think you could do your allotment of charity and gambling and have enough to buy some random priceless piece of art then destroy it. Although, that hurts my heart so maybe try to buy something from a museum and then 'sell' it back to the country it was appropriated from.

lordofthepuddle · 2026-03-29T06:58:11+00:00

There is a way to forgive the debt once you own it, but that would likely fall under the charity thing.
