Jesus christ, is this resilience, or are we all so burnt out that we just accept everything getting worse always.

Like I get the joke in Russia is “and then it got worse.” But Jesus christ, it can’t get worse if it’s always bad can it?

peopleproblems,

I may have just bought a starter set because I keep making up stories with the ones I’ve painted with my son.

I regret nothing

peopleproblems,

for real tho, this is advice I wish I had about one week into having a newborn.

Absolutely terrified during his first blowout. “Put it allin the washing machine with baby-sensitive detergent” It was about an hour of fear that I just got liquid poo mixed in everything.

Goddamn, did that ever make me respect the washing machine. Detergent, water, and spinning. Cat barfs on blanket? Washing machine. Kid barfs on everyone’s clothes during his first real illness? Washing machine. Unknown Substance that smells worse than it looks? Washing machine.

Don’t even need to use anything other than cold water. No colors or shrinking to worry about that way.

peopleproblems,

… I’m glad someone else said it

A better statement would be the Belgians dehumanized the Congolese.

It’s the opposite of what you do right now with animals, treating them as a pet and something that can suffer is humanizing them.

It’s why we say we cannot tolerate intolerance - to allow any dehumanization allows for this stuff to happen.

peopleproblems,

Ok, so my toilets are like 23 years old, I have no knowledge on how they work, but both clog easily and both overfill if you don’t shut off the water.

What the fuck is wrong with my toilets/plumbing?

peopleproblems,

I mean that makes sense. i probably just needed someone else to say it before I felt comfortable putting that money down. thank you

peopleproblems,

oh I got one of those. you better fucking believe it changed my life. like I think I might be the only person I know with one, and honestly, it’s really gross to think of how many people don’t use them

peopleproblems,

it’s all stroganoff!

peopleproblems,

What’s wild is that you can tell these are made by people and not AI because they have realistic hands

peopleproblems,

No this is more like new beef stroganoff

One thing I can say about Minnesotans is that we’re culturally odd.

We’ll take care of eachother, but don’t expect pleasant hellos and conversations with anyone. There are a lot of people that hunt, not a lot of people that hunt well or frequently. The Mall of America isn’t as awesome as when you were a kid. The death of Prince was a State Tragedy. To outsiders, no, Minnesota does not consist of Duluth, the Twin Cities, and snow filled cornfields. Yes it’s too damn cold. Yes it’s too damn warm for this time of the year. No we won’t quit complaining either way. Say yes to lefsa. Always safe with a caserol at a dinner party.

Never state something in a way that conveys your opinion or feelings too strong. That’s rude. Never stand too close to or facing straight towards people in a conversation. That’s rude. Don’t get too involved. That’s rude.

Do smile and raise a hand when you see someone you might know, or someone who does it to you regardless if you can identify them or not.

Skol!

Edit: So I asked my brother, and while he too was aware of hotdish being the correct entrée for a combination of ingredients baked in a pan, he also defaults to caserol. I think it’s because our parents and extended family do not live here. For those confused, tater tot hotdish != tater tot caserol

peopleproblems,

Got me there. It actually caused a few fights in my former marriage, geen bean caserol is not in any way similar to green bean hotdish.

peopleproblems,

i can’t spell anything for too shits

peopleproblems,

I’m pretty sure that’s a Lavasioth from MHW, and I’d probably use my charge blade. Swagaxe wasn’t fast enough for me in World.

peopleproblems,

Ok, I get the joke.

But wouldn’t a plastic surgeon be one of the better surgeons if you were bleeding out? They have to know where every nerve, gland and vessel etc is in order to make a wound disappear at all.

peopleproblems,

Man what is pain relief anyway

like it doesn’t seem to work after I wake up

peopleproblems,

ah yeah, I remember when my son was born, the resident told his mother her eyebrows were fleek

don’t say it to people about to undergo surgery, whatever the phrase is

How do long time married couples with a single income split finances (not seeking legal advice, literally the how)

I’m talking like one person brought in all the money for a decade, then a divorce happens. Some of it makes sense - a house with mortgage, one spouse buys the other out of the house. Which is great, but if one spouse doesn’t have the income to take a loan out to buy the other, does that mean that the spouse who does have the...

peopleproblems,

Yeah, my ex liked it too, but she explained that it was like an easy massage she could get me to give her in public.

peopleproblems,

Wanna know a neat trick?

Don’t give your TV your wifi password, or an ethernet cable. Turn any cheap “smart tv” into a “cheap tv”. Use your other devices that you already ignored privacy warnings of trust and nobody loses anything.

peopleproblems,

Buy a chrome cast, fire stick, or roku and stick it in your android TV that isn’t connected to the wifi.

The chrome cast, fire stick, and roku have their own privacy issues associated, but if they were running malware (outside of what we know of those services collecting and selling user data to advertisers) they would have bigger problems.

peopleproblems,

Ah, that explains why I feel this way, it was 9pm last night
