  • Who remembers this?

  • if you take a digital photo of the [ ... thing ... ] and post it on the internet as a terribly compressed jpg

    That sums up the entirety of the content on a number of popular subs on the R-word site.

    Confusing perspective? No. More like confusing JPEG artifacts.

  • That's life for me in the south (USA). Some people are willfully ignorant and yet also so unintentionally naive.

    Unfortunately it's not really safe for my partner and I to be totally 100% out to everybody in all situations all the time. So, if we don't know you well or we know you well enough to know you're personally running the rumor mill because you're a nosy little bitch named Penny, then you haven't earned the right to know our truth.

    So, if you ask if we're friends or roommates or if he's your son or any of a million other options besides are you two in a relationship, then the answer is going to be yes, sure, kind of, whatever.

  • Unemployment

    Jump

  • Truthfully, I want to work. I just don't like having to play the game because the game sucks and I'm terrible at it. Let me just do the work.

  • Dolly Parton to Receive 2025 Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at Annual Governors Awards

    Jump

  • When I was watching the news last night, they did the thing where they said something like "COMING UP. Major news tonight involving Dolly Parton. KEEP WATCHING AFTER THE BREAK." and then those bitches went to commercial.

    My heart sank because I was worried they were going to report something tragic like a terminal cancer diagnosis. Fortunately, I have access to thousands of news sources instantly so I did in fact not keep watching and instead just looked it up.

    Anyway, good for her!

  • Americans cut back sharply on their spending last month amid tariffs

    Jump

  • I'm actually surprised it's taken this long to show up in the numbers, but I am fully aware that I'm in a bit of a bubble.

    Most people I know got all their big ticket spending done before January, and then hunkered down into saving money mode so that they'd have some cushion for if and when things go bad. Sure, there have been some outliers, but they aren't the norm.

    Part of the problem is, even a lot of people who still have their good jobs are cutting way back and trying to put money aside because they simply do not know how much longer they'll have a job. People who once saw themselves as indispensable to their employer and have enjoyed stable careers are no longer so confident in the economy or their job because they've seen what's happened to so many others recently.

  • The Tick Situation Is Getting Worse. Here’s How to Protect Yourself. As temperatures rise, ticks of several kinds are flourishing in ways that threaten people’s health.

    Jump

  • Also, if you have pets that go outside, such as a dog you take for walks, you need to check them even if they are on flea and tick prevention. Ticks are more than glad to hitchhike indoors on pets and then later decide to rehome themselves onto a human.

  • Pineapple on pizza is always hotly debated, but do you think Pineapple belongs on a burger?

    Jump

  • Enjoy a burger how you want, or not, I could hardly care any less as long as you're not hurting anybody with your lifestyle choice.

    Personally, I just don't like cooked pineapple very much. It's a pale imitation of fresh in both taste and texture. Pure disappointment, and I've got enough disappointment in my life already, don't need anymore on my pizza or burger or tacos or spaghetti or upside down cake or colada.

  • Give one good reason

    Jump

  • If I'm being honest, I was born in the year of our Lord 2005 to the most amazingly loving, caring, and down-to-earth parents a child could ever ask for. At the tender age of 18, I lived life to its fullest, moved out from my parents' house, and then a year later I turned 19 for the first and only time ever. That was a turning point in my life, after which I was and forever would be over the age of 18. So yes, emphatically yes, I am indeed over the age of 18.

  • What was the strangest reason you got in trouble in school?

    Jump

  • Did anyone else get in school suspension?

    Yes, though my memory of it is kind of limited all these years later.

    It was a case of collective punishment. At least that third and final time the bus was late, it was because a number of the kids on the same route took too long to get on the bus and get settled, which caused us to be late. Some kids would wait to leave their house until they saw the bus or heard the horn beep. So, I guess they decided to punish everyone, for reasons.

    I don't even think it was literally everybody that rode the bus, because some of the kids' parents would/could drop them off at school any time the bus was late or not running. But that wasn't an option for me.

  • What goes well with celery?

    Jump

  • Tastes just the same.

    It loses some of its crispness, so you wouldn't necessarily substitute frozen / thawed celery in a recipe that calls for raw / uncooked celery. Though, I have used the thawed stuff for things like potato salad and chicken salad before, which are things that typically use raw celery, and it still added enough texture and crunch to make it worthwhile.

    But for things that involve cooking celery, like in soups, stir fries, and things along those lines, frozen works just fine for me. I don't find any difference in taste or texture in the finished product, assuming that the frozen celery didn't get freezer burned or go through multiple freeze/thaw cycles.

    Most grocery stores in my part of the world sell frozen celery or at least frozen veggie mixes that include celery, so I'd say it's a fairly common practice.
