People of Lemmy: would you date a single parent?
Jump
thisisdee @lemmy.world 1mo ago
Yes. Because if I’m somehow in a situation where I’m dating again, I’m a single parent too.

Animal shelters are always keen to take old towels.

Oh that's a good tip! I have old towels that I now use for cleaning towels, but I'll check animal shelters near me as an alternative.

Good Omens' Michael Sheen teases how fans will react to upcoming finale and argues it "should have been 6 episodes"

Jump

thisisdee @lemmy.world 2mo ago

Yes, only S1 was from the book. S2 and the finale/S3 is new material but Neil Gaiman said it was something he and Pratchett had planned/talked about. S3 was in development when Gaiman's allegations came out so instead of a full season to wrap it up they made it just 1 longer episode, which I think is unfortunate as I've loved the series.

Who is an artist or public figure you still enjoy despite them being cancelled for bad behaviour?

Jump

thisisdee @lemmy.world 2mo ago

Yeah that's one of the issues that keep getting him a lot of hate I think. But from my understanding their relationship was fine. IIRC Janet confirmed that she told him he could apologize for himself but not to say anything on her behalf, so that's what he did. But that was 20+ years ago so I might be misremembering.

At least online, this past year or two, maybe not fully cancelled but got a lot of hate. Since his last album/tour a lot of comments are saying that his success has only been by stepping on successful women. Things that get brought up a lot is the Superbowl "wardrobe malfunction" and people seem to think he threw Janet under the bus (which I don't think he did and his and Janet's relationship was fine), and also his relationship with Britney from 25+ years ago. Britney also released a book which probably didn't paint him in a good light.

Justin Timberlake. I’m in my mid 30s now so I don’t follow celebrity gossip as much as I did in my tween years but from what I’ve seen he didn’t do anything too bad? The DUI was really stupid but I thought that was mild compared to a lot of celebrities. Felt more like it was cool to hate him cos he’s been famous for a bit but no longer at the top. But I still think he’s a fantastic performer and some of the new songs are great.

What are some sexist stereotypes that need to just stop?

Jump

thisisdee @lemmy.world 2mo ago

I have a 3 month old baby girl. Even my own mum keeps saying “she looks like a boy” when I dress her in things that are not girly. It’s a baby. She looks like a baby. And the clothes were pretty much gender neutral in my opinion

What was it like the first time you had to call 911?

Jump

thisisdee @lemmy.world 2mo ago

I was in a car accident. On my way back to the office from lunch out and this woman made a left turn from the opposite side in front of me. I basically t-boned her at 50-55mph. We were both okay, just shocked, but our cars were blocking the intersection. She kept saying I was going too fast and that she was driving home from church. I just sat down on the sidewalk waiting for cops and tow truck to show up. Funny enough I remember, even though my car couldn’t go anywhere, I turned off the engine, got out, and still locked the car.

I had to hitch a ride with the tow truck to their office so I at least had some shelter (middle of summer with no shade around) and wait for a taxi to pick me up. The other woman had her husband pick her up.

What's your boomer trait?

Jump

thisisdee @lemmy.world 2mo ago

No idea. But it wasn’t Taylor Swift who I commented on. It was years ago now and I don’t remember who, but it was before the eras tour. I’m not sure when Taylor started using “eras” though

Jump

thisisdee @lemmy.world 2mo ago

The one time I got called a boomer online was because I didn’t understand why artists have “eras” now instead of just albums. I think at the time an artist removed all posts from their socials and the comments are “new era coming soon?” And I asked if that just means they’re dropping a new album

More for folks from walkable environments, my question is: would you walk an hour and 15 minutes to go to say, the library?

Jump

thisisdee @lemmy.world 4mo ago

No, but walkable places would probably have public transport access as well? If so I'd take the bus. I think I generally consider 15-20 minutes to be "walkable" if I need to go often (train/metro stations, grocery stores). For the occasional trips I'd consider 1 hour walk one way. Anything longer I would probably skip or find alternative ways to get there (including taxis/ride shares)

This comment was reported but I didn't remove it because I think it's quite mild, but this line is unnecessary:

Alrighty then, stay losing and simping for overpriced trash I guess.

What's the "keeping it real" history that Americans are taught the whitewashed version in school?

Jump

thisisdee @lemmy.world 7mo ago

Would be nice to learn about other countries too.

I grew up in Indonesia and would like to know how much of what we were taught regarding the Dutch and Japanese occupations were actually true. I believe we weren’t even taught about the fact that the Dutch attempted to retake control after Japan’s surrender after WW2. What I remember we were taught was just WW2 happened and we fought for independence.

I visited the Netherlands last year and talked to some locals who said their history lessons around that was quite different than what I learned (how long were we occupied, how bad the situation was, and the battles that followed WW2)

I work from home and always tell my husband when I’m going out. He works from the office 1-2 days a week and is home other days. So depending on the day it’d take minutes or around dinner time. Although he’d probably text my phone and wait for hours before contacting others.

Frequent flyers, is economy on a "regular" airline worth the extra cost compared to economy on a budget airline?

Jump

thisisdee @lemmy.world 7mo ago

I think so because most of the time I need at least a carry-on on top of my personal item. Most budget airlines wouldn’t include carry-on, at least where I am. I’m also doing a light credit card churn for an airline points so at this point I won’t be saving that much going on a budget airline vs just using my points. You get better seats and better service.

Also had one bad experience on a budget airline that canceled and rescheduled a flight so many times that my husband and I lost 28 hours of our long weekend trip. Not worth the time wasted in my opinion.

What's something you saw a co-worker do and were shocked that they weren't fired for it?

Jump

thisisdee @lemmy.world 8mo ago

Got drunk and hooked up with a married customer during an event. He said he didn’t know the customer was married (no wedding ring). It was my first job out of college and I learned from the sales team that it’s widely known at these events that people “forget” their wedding rings for this exact reason. I guess he wasn’t fired because it was consensual, but weird because customer and her husband were running a family business so technically both of them were our customers.
