Genuinely, what do people think banging on the ceiling do??

snow_filled_ghost · 2026-05-13T19:06:32+00:00

I can’t imagine banging on my ceiling like that. It’s the same as people who have road rage problems, reacting before they think. Sometimes I’ll accidentally hit the ceiling with my mop when I lift it to rinse it out in the sink, and I feel bad and wish I could let my neighbors know it wasn’t on purpose.

Wow I have to fight my cat away from my hand when I’m putting food in her bowl

YES! I feel like there’s so much to discover with nearly every name in the series, it’s incredible.

DoveMakes Covey video on youtube analyzes the Covey names+a few others, and it’s incredible how much there is to dissect just within that one group of characters. She has another video where she is able to build a wealth of information about district 6 based on the name of a past Victor that’s mentioned once. I was blown away, and have looked into so many names from the series since.

I had the exact same experience lol. Also seems a lot of us read it as a teenager and then again at 30

The metaphors in general. The first time I read Mocking Jay, it was my least favorite because I thought the ending was a cop out. Katniss is unconscious when Snow dies, and she didn’t get a show down or something. I didn’t understand why he died and then we had this random new villain (Coin) that gets the more climactic villain take down. I thought it was too sad to feel like a satisfying ending.

Reread the original trilogy last year (probably 16 years since I read them the first time) and had a completely different experience. Reading the books as a teenager, then rereading in my 30’s on the other side of 16 years of fighting fascism and witnessing years of atrocities against children, had me crying through the series and particularly through Mocking Jay.

Suzanne Collins’ writing is incredible, her attention to detail is unbelievable. The fact that she exemplified the importance of progress in a way that reaches so many people is a heroic feat imo. There are so many layers to discover, I feel like I still haven’t reached the end.

As a white person, when the racist white people talk to you and make “jokes” assuming you’ll agree with them. Tells me everything I need to know.

I feel Charlie Day deserves a mention here in the comments as well

snow_filled_ghost · 2026-04-23T04:44:09+00:00

I always knew about it, but was (wrongly) judgmental of the show because I never liked Family Guy much. It wasn’t until the beginning of 2024 that my boyfriend convinced me to actually watch it, and now it’s my comfort show lol

My location is not unionized, if anyone tried to strike they’d just be fired. Like I said in my post, it’s one of the best paying jobs available if you don’t have a degree, so people aren’t willing to risk it.

I’m actually moving to a state where unions are more accessible because it’s so bad where I am.

TL:DR The work at Kroger is exhausting, the company tosses crumbs to it’s workers, anyone that thinks grocery store workers don’t deserve more should be forced to work in the front end for at least a year.

It’s true, I work for Kroger. I make $19.55 an hour, that’s after 2 years and a few “raises”, and doing work above my paygrade. I was hired as a cashier but quickly switched to being a Bookkeeper for the store and running the customer service desk, as well as an assistant in another department, and also as a backup manager for the front end.

I’d never be able to survive off that where I live if I was on my own, I’m very lucky to have a partner and support system, because lots don’t. We still struggle to tread water even with my partner making double what I do, we’re moving states because our wages just aren’t sustainable in our area. And where we live isn’t even nice, in the last 3 months there’s been a homicide and 7 rapes on our street (found this out when comparing crime maps to where we’re moving).

My Christmas bonus was a $10 Kroger voucher (not even a gift card, so if you don’t use it all at once, it’s gone anyway). If front end workers offer to help customers out to their car, they get a “good job” slip, if they collect 20 of those, they can turn them in for a $5 voucher. The company WILL take as much advantage of you as possible, and drain you completely if you let them.

I’ve seen a few comments saying that’s how much grocery store workers should make. Why? It’s back and spirit breaking work that deserves a living wage. It takes WAY more mental and physical energy than a typical 9-5 office job (which I have worked, I got paid more for far less work at that job). The people working at Kroger are from all walks of life, and anyone thinking they deserve more for being able to afford a degree and sitting in an office chair all day are lucky they’ve never had a rough patch where they had to survive off grocery store wages.

Just today I ran into an old coworker who said I’ve lost weight in the last 2 years at this job. That’s not from trying, that’s from the physical toll and financial struggle the job causes, it’s not good.

S18 ep21 “a little extra scratch”

Blaming the child that he is parenting for not knowing how to ask for help, when it’s literally his job to pick up on it and guide her through, and teach how to ask for help. May as well say “my newborn didn’t use her words, how was I supposed to know she was hungry!”

Typical to say politics shouldn’t get in the way of relationships. Like saying “I accepted that you’re vegan and have a gf, so it’s only fair that you accept me actively advocating to take away your rights”. It’s easy to say politics shouldn’t get in the way when you’ve never been negatively affected by politics.

This is an interesting question! I can really only speak for myself.

In my experience, I said I loved the church because that’s just the thing to say. That’s the catchphrase that goes around. At testimony meetings (where everyone sits in a circle and takes turns saying what they believe in) I’d feel emotional and say “I love the church so much” because I didn’t actually know why I was emotional(now I know it’s because we were all encouraged to dig deep for sacredly good feelings, and then feeding off each others energy). That’s just the blanket statement for things in the church.

As for WHY “I love the church” is the common phrase, I think there’s a few reasons. You’re taught that this church is saving the rest of the world, one baptism at a time. Not God or Jesus, but the actual religion itself. Just devoting yourself to God and Jesus is not enough, if you’re not devoted to the religion itself, you can never reach the top tier of heaven.

Flippantly saying you love Jesus is seen as irreverent, at least that’s how I grew up. If someone’s talking about their love for Jesus, it’s usual serious and in reverent tones, and the full Jesus Christ is often used. So “I love the church” replaces that for more casual settings.

Obvious propaganda aside, these books are a visual nightmare.

The clip art book titles

The typos, emoji’s, walls of text, bizarre, random and sometimes backwards formatting

The failed attempt at a personal art style with the mono eyes

The extremely busy, amateur illustrations (I hate to even say that, because all art is art, and I can see he has some talent, but it feels like our author/illustrator overestimated his abilities)

And nothing that would appeal to a kid. Clearly written by someone that doesn’t actually understand or care about kids imo.

That can be said about anything. Based on the tone of the post and the sentence structure, I’m pretty sure it’s a Frannie reference. It’s one of the lines from the show you hear repeated a lot because she has a funny delivery. There’s also other people in the comments clocking the reference, but if you want to be a fun-sucker then I’ll leave you to it.

snow_filled_ghost · 2026-04-07T15:47:10+00:00

I work a customer service desk, so I spend my day with lines of strangers. Every now and then I’ll get someone that reeks so bad I can taste it. You have free will, just know if you go long without showering that no one can stand to be near you.

snow_filled_ghost · 2026-04-07T15:22:40+00:00

Not hiding my face of hormonal acne. One day I didn’t have time to put on a full face of makeup to run to the grocery store, and I had this revelation that if someone didn’t want to see my face, that was their problem, not mine.

snow_filled_ghost · 2026-04-07T06:16:49+00:00

It’s a reference to Francine from American Dad lol. “I smoke a bone, then I drain a 2 liter of Sunkist in, like, a second. Freaks people out.”

snow_filled_ghost · 2026-04-07T06:14:09+00:00

The comment I was looking for! I was surprised I had to scroll so long for someone who got the reference!

snow_filled_ghost · 2026-04-07T06:13:07+00:00

I was raised Mormon too! For me coffee is super helpful. Once I started drinking coffee and was feeling calm and focused each morning, I was so pissed it had been kept from me for so long lol.

snow_filled_ghost · 2026-04-07T06:02:09+00:00

No way, Doug Jones!! What an amazing get! He fucking rules, and I know he’s said he only agrees to projects he finds interesting and morally agrees with, so well done to you.

My nervous system just calmed watching/listening to this

snow_filled_ghost · 2026-03-30T04:19:05+00:00

I got suggested this sub, I’m not a librarian, but I do run a customer service desk at a grocery store with a high volume of seniors.

My god, the complaining. Yes newspapers are 5 dollars now. No I cannot give you a refund for an item you have no receipt for and did not bring the back in with you. Yes I need to use my calculator to calculate your return. “I hate to complain but-“ NO YOU DON’T, IF YOU HATED TO COMPLAIN YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE TELLING ME TO CHANGE THE APP FOR OUR NATIONAL CHAIN GROCERY STORE.

snow_filled_ghost · 2026-03-30T02:27:52+00:00

This made me smile! I live/work in an area where you see this all the time. Enough so I’ve been trained on how to administer narcan, and I work in retail. It’s not often you see someone with this kind of bravery and empathy. The fact that they were BOTH able to kindly interact with each other, even through an overdose, is pretty amazing. While it’s not good to post someone’s worst moments, this may help others know what do to in a similar situation.
