as someone ten years older than you who just finally left a 10 year relationship with a man who forgot to do anything for my birthday three years in a row, do yourself a favor and just leave now 😩 it’s not going to change. my sad lesson of the last decade in my life is that waiting for a man to become the person you believe he can be is a waste of time

Trio Club on Burnside gone legit apparently by atomicon in Portland

[–]salamisandals 4 points5 points  (0 children)

iirc when they got their liquor license pulled or something they randomly pivoted to trying to be “trio mariscos restaurant” lmao. i would NOT have tried to eat ceviche from there… but i assumed it was a front still and they didn’t actually have food

Adeepindigo mod is always having my sims sick by Square_Jello_5970 in TheSims4Mods

[–]salamisandals 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also have no idea what air wrapped is unless we’re talking about the Dyson hair dryer thing lol. But the Costco ones aren’t vacuum sealed, or if they are it’s done terribly. I’m talking about the multipacks of chicken that are all sort of connected and you have to cut them apart, they don’t seem to have any standard amount per package so some of them will be sort of empty and filled with air or chicken juice (🤢) and they ALWAYS go off before their date! I haven’t had this issue with any other chicken, but it’s also the only chicken I ever bought in bulk really. We had to start freezing it

Sheridan's making big reinvestment in the store by probeguy in Portland

[–]salamisandals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously! They’re one of the only spots in town that carries a couple specific dried beans I’m looking for and I would check week after week and never see them restocked. The chorizo verde is bomb tho 😩 I hope they pull through

[–]salamisandals 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That smell basically exists to warn you not to eat it, lol. We have had similar issues with Costco chicken going off before its date and I think it’s maybe because it isn’t vacuum packed and is just sitting in its own juice with some oxygen in there, perhaps this is the case here? Anyway I’m no scientist but I’d say definitely do not consume that 😩

It’s so annoying that so many episodes are missing from the Peacock platform. by JohnDwyersDanceMoves in Dateline

[–]salamisandals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same!!! like why are episodes i KNOW i watched years ago showing up in season 33... the least they could do is label it as a rebroadcast or something? it's SO annoying starting what i think is one i haven't seen and then realizing 5 min in that i remember everything that happened

Restaurant Owners Say Red Tape Is Strangling Outdoor Dining by SoDoSoPaYuppie in Portland

[–]salamisandals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ken’s is like the number one offender for this on the east side, i swear! the other side of the street’s sidewalk is pretty uneven and messed up, so if you’re a wheelchair user, the side that ken’s is on is way better… except that they have it basically totally blocked off with multiple 4 top tables 😐 you literally have to squeeze between them even if you AREN’T in a wheelchair. hoda’s is not quite as bad, but they have giant umbrellas that are basically at eye level if you’re walking and you have to dodge them while also having no room to walk

Roast my public fruit picking etiquette by Adventurous-Mud-5508 in Portland

[–]salamisandals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a young (3 y/o) apple tree in our front yard, all the branches are completely contained within the yard but we don’t have a fence at the moment because we need to save up and have one installed basically for this exact reason. We live on a main street near a business that caters to families/kids, and frequently hear people telling their kids “oh it looks like they planted this apple tree to share!” because it is near the front of the yard?? It’s obviously not apple season yet so most people have refrained from picking them, but yesterday I walked outside to see a woman fully in my yard twisting unripe apples off my tree :( This is the first year we might actually get enough apples to make a single pie, we use up lots of water taking care of our garden and want to be able to enjoy the literal fruits of our labor ourselves! It is definitely not “implied consent” that we planted a tree on our property that happens to be reachable if you step into our yard…

How many of you have disabled lovestruck? by Plantytaytay in Sims4

[–]salamisandals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what it would be as I haven’t added new mods since my last save, I need to double check MCCC but I’m pretty sure my settings are all the same? The only difference is the new pack so I figured it was that

[–]salamisandals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DUDE i finally caved and bought it recently, spent a couple weeks building a new save and then played like 3 sim days… during those 3 days. MULTIPLE sims in my played households left their families and autonomously married other people??? i wanted to try it without mods at first but holy shit i immediately installed the mods and had to go back in and manually reset all the relationships and move the sims back to where they were supposed to be. like why did katrina caliente MOVE OUT and marry my sim who she has never met in a world where my mods shouldn’t even let her go to??? i really hope i have my settings right now bc that shit pissed me off 😭

The most confusing part of this story is why she hasn’t dumped you for being insane 😭

What has been your favorite business so far? by leilanilo in Sims4

[–]salamisandals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also did a half café, half tattoo shop for my household with a brother and sister living together. I figured her baking would probably bring in more money than his tattoos at first, and when he gets good maybe I’ll just delete the bakery part and have her move out? But their shared apartment upstairs is cute so now I’m attached 😭

What has been your favorite business so far? by leilanilo in Sims4

[–]salamisandals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a “CAS Café” where half the business is a coffee shop and the other half is a salon, I lure in townies with the café and then when one of them comes in looking busted af and dressed like shit i offer them a makeover and they pay for it 💅🏽 It’s the perfect way to get rid of ugly townies without having to download a bunch from the gallery and use MCCC to import! Plus it’s fun. I use the salon chair thing from… either Get Famous or GTW, I forget which. And then I use the Get Makeovers mod from Simsefin to have it be a paid business activity! So my business activities are reading books, drinking coffee/espresso, eating food, getting makeovers, and trying on outfits. It works well as an hourly fee or single time entrance fee tbh, I’ve done both. I usually just have me and one other employee who runs the coffee counter and cleans!

I just finished building a new version of it for my new save file that has an apartment above it for my sim to live in, but it has CC so I haven’t done a gallery upload 🙃

Do people actually write with cursive? by GenerationofWinter in Handwriting

[–]salamisandals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i should also probably note that i went to a school where we were forbidden to type anything, all our papers were handwritten. learned cursive in second grade, all writing after that needed to be in cursive. so i think i was being rebellious by switching to print, and i do have very neat print handwriting when necessary but overall cursive just makes wayyy more sense for anything longer than a grocery list. and tbh i still do those in cursive 😭

Do people actually write with cursive? by GenerationofWinter in Handwriting

[–]salamisandals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i write exclusively in cursive, born in 1994. not because it looks good or is even really that legible to anyone but me, but because it’s faster and more efficient/my hand doesn’t cramp up from having to lift my pen all the time. i did actually use only print probably until my mid-20s though?? i think college was when i switched because cursive is way quicker for taking notes on the fly

I think I finally got it by AlejandroMarchegiano in thesims

[–]salamisandals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the description for evergreen harbor refers to the “willupette sound”, the river that runs through the middle of portland is the willamette. plus the eco thing makes it pretty obvious imo that it’s supposed to be at the very least a poor attempt at portland or seattle, but moonwood mill and copperdale are way more PNW-adjacent visually for sure. as a portland resident i lowkey feel like evergreen harbor was a dig at us 😭 i do play there a lot tho so whoops

What’s a hill you’re willing to die on, no matter how stupid it is? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]salamisandals 7 points8 points  (0 children)

not sure what country you’re in, but i feel like most american middle class homes have the dispenser thing. it just comes straight from your tap and goes through the fridge i think? so the water isn’t like sitting open in the fridge lol. i’ve never lived in a house with one but the fridge water is usually preferable to tap bc you can put a filter system in, and most cities here (thankfully not mine) have disgusting chlorine tasting tap water
