See, this is apparently how little I pay attention to those feeds. I have them? But I ignore them for Mutuals or Following. And also Fountain Pens and sometimes Writing or Romancelandia. I'm perpetually behind the times.

Well. Liked is a strong word. But you know what I mean.

This sounds like they're adding an algorithm. Which I was not in the mood for and I liked this site because it wasn't algorithmic. Ugh.

Once a week? My GOD. What are the youth of today coming to? First it was lattes, then avocado toast, and now pastries. Pastries! 😱

I wish I was remotely close. Or that it was feasible. That sounds FANTASTIC. Both the company and the meal. Alas! The vagaries of distance work against us.

If I'm ever in CA or you're ever in the Chicago area...

If you're going to show me a titanium EDC fan on kickstarter with replaceable parts and gemstones, cool cool, but also I do think that if you're asking me to add weight to my bag it better come with that edge sharp.

Yes, too much Mortal Kombat in my teen years. I know. I do.

If you're going to be in a Zoom meeting, turn on the noise cancellation so we're not hearing your raspy breathing and every mouse click, it is 2025, do we not all know this yet?

And no, it's not this particular person's first rodeo, she's hosted dozens of Zoom meetings over the years.

NO ONE likes doing taxes. But many, many people feel fine with paying taxes for the common good.

fuck's sake, Spotify, I don't want to chat and play music, just be one thing instead of trying to be a social media empire that can data mine even more of my life?

Also: no one needs to overspend on dish towels! Americans can get 100% cotton dish towels from Trader Joe's or another local store and they're just as good. Jacquard is pretty, though, I agree. You also can get flour sack dish towels! Mail order from the flour company!

They are! I, un-coincidentally, do cooking as a life hobby and have eschewed the idea of making it a job even though I could, because "do what you love" is great, except when it'd then turn it into something you'd hate.

I live for remoting in, especially for raids. Now if I could remote trade, my life would be golden.

Currently I have a greater chance for XL candy on transfers since I paid $$ for Halloween, so I've been going through basically anything and everything and ruthlessly sending them to Prof Willow.

Me: I love bean soup! Here's my favorite bean soup recipe!

Person: I can't cook bean soup. I don't have any beans.

Perhaps, sir (gender-neutral), this is not the conversation for you.

What, you mean theft of cultural treasures and probably destroying them forever isn't fun Robin Hood-esque banditry we can cheer on from the sidelines? Amazing concept.

I mean. For real. This isn't Leverage.

Much as it might be interesting, honest to fuck, these proscriptive "you are culturally/socially/intellectually deficient if you don't do/know/whatever X" lists seem to forget that people gotta work, take care of families (of choice, of blood, etc.) and a million other obligations taking up time.
