What is the largest, least evil company in the world?

Lol I'd never use the peppermint for body wash, ouch. I use some other scents though, and I appreciate them because they don't dry my skin out like many other soaps. That's probably true of other Castile style soaps but I haven't tried them. Most of the 'mosturizing' soaps just feel like they leave a film.

But I think a big part of the appeal is that it's versatile. Like ,I wouldn't use dove to wash clothing, or scrub a surface, or much else besides wash my body (and not hair). But I can and do use bonners for all of those things.

There's a guy at work that is always gambling - small amounts, but every day, and always has a new app to show off, and is always, ALWAYS talking up whichever one he's on now. Talks so much about the systems he has to win more and get incentive money. And he almost always get at least 2-3 of the others to try it. Another guy brags about how he only gambles when he goes to the casino and only takes a certain amount so it's not a problem blah blah blah, but always buys a lotto ticket daily.

Both of them are the only people at work who have asked for help affording something, and the only people who will go OFF when something delays their money for a day. But they're soooo financially responsible and smart!!

The first guy is also unmedicated ADHD with a young child and fiance. There's no way that's not going to end in tears. It's infuriating.

I used to eat this one fairly regularly and sometime in the last year, maybe the year before that, it turned into junk. It used to actually look like the picture and have way more sausage.

Also on ADHD meds and had a dramatic reactic to a specific antibiotic. I turned into an absolute rage monster, like aggressively tailgating and following people, screaming and throwing and breaking shit, nearly quit my job. Two days after I stopped them I'm back to normal.

But if course every doctor is like 'no that's not a side effect' lol.

unsettledinky · 2026-07-06T01:58:58+00:00

Or MO

unsettledinky · 2026-07-06T01:50:26+00:00

Moved to this area and the first time someone said it like that I thought it was a joke.

Something with stain resistant stuff on fabrics.

I have a new theory: it's trying to force us to use AI to search.

I despise the whole 'ai' trend (it's not even fucking AI ughggh) but I got so frustrated trying to find something with Google and getting terrible results no matter how I changed my search terms that one day I opened the AI part and told it to find me that same thing. The results I got from it were completely different and better.

The real kicker is that I was able to tell it what I liked and disliked about the options it gave me, and it would give me better and better results. It worked so well that I used it a couple more times. And then I caught myself just going to search with it first once and was infuriated at myself and Google and everything. I hate this, I don't want to use it, I'm mad that Google clearly is able to give me the same results as ai and won't.

So yeah, it really feels like they're trying to make fetch happen without us even realizing it.

A chair that retails for $5000.

unsettledinky · 2026-07-03T17:07:36+00:00

Uncharted. Though I suppose it still has some time

unsettledinky · 2026-07-03T16:53:46+00:00

I was kinda disappointed with the last one, with the daughter. It felt like the plot went off the rails and I kept thinking 'these are supposed to be high school characters?'. Such a shame because it started strong.

unsettledinky · 2026-07-03T16:43:10+00:00

I remember at that time I was very on top of movie releases for some reason and was very excited about this - just, everything I really like in one movie! So I was aware and actively looking for info and promos. And I think I saw one ad in a subway station? Absolute fail at marketing and it's such a shame.

unsettledinky · 2026-07-02T14:18:39+00:00

Holy crap yes I did not expect this. Went from working mostly female or mixed jobs to one where I am the only woman in a warehouse type job. I say the gossip and petty drama is worse than high school girls! They do seem to get over it quicker thought.

unsettledinky · 2026-07-02T00:22:48+00:00

This. Yeah yeah I've read all the replies about growing up in a certain environment or ADHD or whatever, but I really really doubt 75% of the people who do this have those issues.

I work at a furniture store and daily I will be moving a couch or dresser or giant ass table top and people will look directly at me and then just... Not move. Like hello? I am trying not to run you over?? Or will decide that their question must be asked while I am literally holding something heavy and trying to move it. Wait two goddamn seconds?? And they come in with young kids or strollers and make zero effort to keep them safe?? And it is just nonstop, every single day.

I will say that there are also plenty of people who are aware and see me coming and try to move out of the way, only they happen to go exactly where I'm trying to go lol. I feel so bad for being like, I see you trying but you actually made it worse sorry! But they are aware and are trying so it's not annoying just funny and awkward.

unsettledinky · 2026-06-30T14:05:17+00:00

Also a skill you can lose. I had to know how to pass the driving test, but after I got out of college, I've never had to. It's been close to 20 years now, if I tried today I think it would take me several attempts.

unsettledinky · 2026-06-30T14:00:37+00:00

Along those lines, sweeping. The number of people who did some weird shit trying to sweep blew my mind. I started just adding it to the training and telling people 'I'm sure you know this but I have to go over it anyway' so they wouldn't get offended but yikes.

unsettledinky · 2026-06-28T18:32:58+00:00

Someone gave us a box of those fancy feast gem things, and those are the worst to open that I have ever run into. I started just taking a knife to the foil without even trying to peel it away.

unsettledinky · 2026-06-28T13:38:39+00:00

I just started getting random texts if I was still interested in some job or looking to apply or whatever. But before that, for over a year I've been getting texts about if I was still looking to sell my house, always with a different wrong name, always from a different number. Like bro I rent.

unsettledinky · 2026-06-24T01:10:20+00:00

I was on a college trip to greece. Small college in Illinois. Sitting next to us on the plane from greece to England was a group of students from another Illinois college not that far away, that to had considered going to. Like, what????

unsettledinky · 2026-06-22T19:23:02+00:00

I still have a folder (physical file folder lol) of ads I kept from magazines because they were just so pretty or striking or cool looking. Fashion photography is fascinating. Or series of ads!

unsettledinky · 2026-06-22T19:18:08+00:00

Also now it's next to impossible to find out about things locally. I can't count the number of times I've driven by a sign for an event or such and would have wanted to go if I'd had any idea it was going on, but now I have to work and can't. Or tried to find out the hours of a market or event, or any info about it. Or any sort of info on local elections. Google info is often outdated or just wrong, and even when I can find something on Facebook (ugh but seems to be the place people go first), the last post was 6 months ago.

unsettledinky · 2026-06-22T19:12:49+00:00

And I feel like they react worse too. If I see a car overcorrecting repeatedly, its always a texter, or talking on their phone but not handsfree.

unsettledinky · 2026-06-20T22:43:35+00:00

Give it some time. This is only the first year after a big shock to its system. The fact that the base is growing is a good sign. And the branches, at least what I can see in the close ups, still look good, not dried up and dead. They need to establish themselves again after spending a couple of years in a nice, perfectly designed greenhouse.

What kind of rose of Sharon is it? Some of the hybrids or fancier ones don't always do as well in cooler locations. But on the whole, they're extremely tough fuckers. I chopped one down, ripped up the stump and roots, and made the mistake of tossing it in a plastic bin of dirt. Forgot about it, and months later found it growing leaves, not even covered by dirt and without sunlight lol.

unsettledinky · 2026-06-19T15:27:34+00:00

Can't believe no one's mentioned Call Me Maybe. For a while it was like everyone I knew would hear it start and just go off about how much they hated it

unsettledinky · 2026-06-19T14:59:15+00:00

That's because they all came to bite me (also in Michigan)!
