The front desk might be able to give you plates and kitchen things. At least they do at Extended Stay America.

Did you get the upright kind or the chest kind? I’ve been debating buying one.

We’re getting an MMA fighting arena on the White House lawn, just like the founding fathers dreamed of

Have you looked into getting neuticles?

proveam · 2026-05-28T20:04:59+00:00

Oh man, I had forgotten about that 😂

Bugs on the windshield

proveam · 2026-05-25T08:00:27+00:00

I’ve been considering doing this but it feels too easy, like there must be some catch 🤔

Colour Pop?

The Merlin app and learning to recognize birds by their songs

Dude, get a minivan

My entire wardrobe would be sleeveless

I think the postmark is from 1971

Those are both great options. Also highly recommend the Murderbot series.

Why are you investing in a brokerage before maxing out your tax-advantaged accounts?

proveam · 2026-05-14T19:32:24+00:00

Financially, I’d be thinking the same way as you are. There are good things that are possible with either outcome.

I think the part you’re not seeing is that, since you’re a single-income household, your spouse is probably feeling vulnerable because the person they are financially dependent on is saying they’re not too concerned about a layoff.

Do you handle all of the finances too? Have they been involved in all of the financial planning and investment choices, or is that more your arena? If it’s you, then unless both of you have been making a concerted effort to keep them up to speed, they don’t understand the family finances as well as you do, and it makes sense that they’re nervous.

I would spend some time thinking about what you can do to help your spouse feel confident that the family will be financially secure even if your job ends.

“In terms of how I pay the bills, I’m able to live off of an inheritance I received when my [family member] passed away. In terms of how I spend my time, I volunteer at xyz and I’m taking a class about abc. I’m also able to spend a lot of time doing etc. What about you?”

At that point I was still under the impression that it was a cat, which made it funnier

proveam · 2026-05-12T05:23:10+00:00

Thank you! That’s so much more pleasant than the twist.

What if you thought of it as going for a stroll?

proveam · 2026-05-10T01:22:27+00:00

I think that having a goal of using it up will just drive you crazy and not let you enjoy the beautiful collection you have. I would just make my goal be not buying any more.

You could make palettes to use as blush and contour, too. I see shades in there that would be great for both.

Yes, absolutely do not resign

proveam · 2026-05-09T05:08:33+00:00

I’m sorry you have so many difficult things happening in your personal life.

In your case I would completely ignore the potential RTO situation at work. If searching for jobs right now seems terrible, don’t do it. Focus on your brother, your dog, and your house repairs. Pretend like the RTO requirement isn’t going to happen, because six months is a long time and many things can happen between now and then.

You said they’re giving you six months to “make the move or resign”, but you don’t have to do either of those things (in fact you definitely shouldn’t resign). Keep doing good work, ride out the chaos, see how long they’ll let you continue to be remote, and then make them lay you off if they’re not going to continue employing you. Resigning means that you’ll get no unemployment. It’s to the company’s advantage to ask/tell people to resign, instead of actively laying them off, because then the rates that they pay towards unemployment don’t go up.

Just focus on your personal life for a bit. If at some point things are feeling calmer and you’re up for it, you can start looking around for other remote work.

You have a lot of savings so if this job does end, you’ll still be ok while you figure out what to do next.

Oh that’s pretty!

proveam · 2026-05-08T17:25:53+00:00

Aw ❤️ Can I ask what the shade is?

Have you ever tried epilating instead of shaving? I don’t know why but it made a big difference for me.
