  • Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too?

    Jump

  • There's dust in closets, too. I just bought a 3-pack of zippable plastic dust covers for all the hanging clothes I don't wear often because they were getting dusty AF.

  • People who don't live alone, who does the cooking?

    Jump

  • I do the cooking because I enjoy it and am halfway decent at it, he does all the dishes. It's a fair trade for both of us, since he hates cooking and I'm not a fan of doing dishes.

  • I like both, just depends on what I feel like listening to.

  • What are y'all thoughts on Communes?

    Jump

  • I dated a guy who spent part of his childhood on [The Farm](The Farm (Tennessee) - Wikipedia https://share.google/Qygnr43R6gFX23nd6) in Tennessee in the '80s, where his mother was a nurse. He said it was like Lord of the Flies, just herds of unsupervised little kids doing whatever they pleased 24/7, and I mean way beyond the latchkey kid stereotype of unsupervised kids, which I was in the '80s myself. He hated it because there were no adults that were really in charge, no discipline when the kids hurt each other, food was scarce, school lessons were a joke, etc.

    I think like so many other things, the idea of a commune draws in certain types of people, and some of those people are lazy free-loading assholes. I think they're a good idea, but the lazy fuckers ruin it for everyone else.

  • When you make toast with peanut butter do you butter the toast first?

    Jump

  • I only pair jam/jelly with buttered toast. Butter AND peanut butter seems like you're just adding calories for no reason (can you even really taste the butter under peanut butter?).

    When I was an exchange student in Australia in the late '90s, I remember the family I stayed with with would add butter to EVERY sandwich they made, regardless of what the other contents were. Ham and cheese with mayo? Butter first. Turkey club? Add butter. Just cheese? Also butter. Adding any other condiments to your sandwich, like mustard? There better be butter added first.

    I dunno if it's just an American thing to NOT add butter to every piece of bread depending on the meal, or what.

  • Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"?

    Jump

  • Skyrim, Destiny, Destiny 2, Valheim

  • À decent face cream that doesn't break bank?

    Jump

  • e.l.f Holy Hydration face cream. I've been using this since I gave up Kiehl's face cream a few years ago (they're owned by Nestle, and fuck Nestle). Fragrance free and you only need a thin layer to do the trick. e.l.f Holy Hydration face cream

  • 38 miles away, but it should be noted that since being spawned, I've moved upwards of 3k miles from that point and then returned to my current location many years later.

  • What's y'all favorite soda/soft drink

    Jump

  • Does Polar seltzer count?

  • Are there any legitimate "brain training" apps/games/etc.?

    Jump

  • I'm utter shit at math, so I got one of those apps for kids from Kahoot that teaches you algebra starting with symbols instead of numbers, which was helpful until I reached the level where they started switching some of the symbols to numbers and letters, and it got way too confusing again.

  • What's the most creative username you have seen?

  • Yes, the poles hold up a piece of shade fabric that I throw over it if it gets too hot, or a rain storm is coming through (they still get wet, but not as much).

  • Anyone else that likes to put their phone in airplane mode to decompress/sleep?

    Jump

  • I always put mine on DND and filter it for phone calls only from specific people (because if those people call me in the middle of night, it is for sure an emergency). Everything else is on silent.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "Having it on DND still makes you receive the notifications". You can filter all that shit out, check your settings. If you mean that you want to be able to look at your phone but not see notifications, I'd say you just need to learn to put the phone down, period. Don't even be looking at that thing 30 minutes before bed. Put it down and get ready for bed, then sleep.

  • I've got the high-nitrogen plant food ready and waiting! It would be awesome to be drowning in them, I eat bell peppers every day pretty much, and I'm dying to make some Hatch green chili, so I hope they all get crazy in the end.
