Love how being a woman always gets you an asterisk.

Checking in here with my user icon.

I fucking hate Aptos. It makes my work emails (Outlook) look “quirky” and that is NOT what is needed.

Is it actually too many clothes, is it that you are judging them (given your note about your own wardrobe at the bottom), or a mix of both?

You need to avoid moral judgement. Focus on practicalities - is your partner meeting shared living expenses targets, are they meeting their savings goals; and how the clothes are or are not overrunning the space, resulting in obvious opportunity costs for you or the both of you.

I had the unpleasant experience of being in a group that applied SCRUM to research. Yes, the work involved software implementation, but research is largely antithetical to SCRUM. Yes, you need good research practices but a key aspect is that you don’t know where you will end up. The stand up meetings became 30 minutes twice a week. Arrrg.

And, you know, boil the water. Or bring chlorine tablets or a water filter.

You could thin it out with water too. Soylent comes as a premixed beverage or as a powder if you want it cheaper.

So glowy!

I’m fucked.

I have ended up in a “view all and block” mode rather than a “subscribe to a curated list” mode because of the smaller community. That means I need to block a lot more communities I am not interested in and users that are just… Outside my window of civility or politics that I can handle. Raging tankies, for example.

Who pissed on your Wheaties this morning? Got a little mold on your favorite pants?

A little off topic, but your laundry should never be in a condition to allow mold growth. Stuff should be allowed to dry out if it got wet (if you don’t intend to wash it soon) and washed laundry should be promptly dried. If you are doing that and it still happened, you might have a mold problem in your home. The shirt might not be saveable, but this might be the lesson to avoid more expensive mistakes in the future.

Yes

Methinks some folks need to go out and touch grass for a while.

Out of curiosity, can you specify the topics or give specific examples of this shitty behavior you speak of? Without examples it is impossible to determine if you are discussing behavior that is straight-up pathological (e.g. name-calling) or people having a different opinion.

They are so frickin heavy, though!

Neat, just remove actual facts. Very nice.

Removed by mod

Let’s gooooo!

Not sure why you are getting down voted. It’s true, house size has inflated significantly, and it drives cost. My first home was built in the 1970s and was 1500 sqft, bought for $136k in 2017 (Zestimate is about $200k now). My current one is about 3000 sqft and it’s stupidly big, but it’s what was available that’s not a total fixer upper.

I saw an article in WaPo the other day about house size and affordability, with one couple having a baby on the way and deciding not to move despite “needing” more space. Their house was crammed to the gills with stuff. So. Much. Stuff. I think removal of a lot of the stuff would help free up living space (so did the WaPo commenters).
