This is not a problem I have. What happens when chapstick goes through the wash? Is it just the chapstick that gets ruined or does it mess up the clothes too?

Not at all. One of my kids only likes to watch the same thing over and over and over. I think it must be comforting in the same way that we like to listen to the same music over and over; we recognize what comes next and there is a comfort in having that power.

He has earbuds! But he doesn’t use them. Phooey

I was just getting annoyed at my husband for exactly this and your post was literally the next one in my feed. Felt like kismet.

Anyway YES it drives me crazy. He seems to love watching videos on his phone. I don’t get it at all.

Puce?

Can attest. Dropped Facebook in like 2016 and am not on anything else aside from Lemmy. I constantly felt like I wasn’t measuring up to people’s perfect family pictures and exciting vacations, even though I knew intellectually that their pictures were posed and their lives were edited for social media. The world still sucks but at least I feel less inadequate.

My brother does it to my mom specifically in crowds. He picked it as a scout during crowded meetings and it stuck. He’s in his 30s now.

In a related vein, specifically scissors in blister packs. It’s like whoever made the decision to package scissors that way wanted to put more evil into the world.

My friend describes this as vacation people vs trip people. My husband and I are definitely trip people generally, but with kids in the picture it’s nice to get an actual vacation (relaxing) in once in a while. But there’s so much in the world we want to see!

I did that to my husband in our 20s and 30s. Now in our 40s I can no longer tell which one it was that was rogue because there are too many competitors… we gave up.

Wait wait, are you saying it’s impossible to change people’s minds about cats, or impossible to change cats” minds?

I mean, maybe both lol

I’m primarily a fantasy reader. I never assume anything related to time or place, lol.

Because I respect my partner’s desire to see his parents? Grow a heart.

In all honesty, it’s a pretty limited silver lining considering people aren’t eating because of the shutdown. And my in-laws would probably blame democrats anyway. But at least they’d feel a modicum of suffering, not getting to see their son and grandchildren and all, because of their own voting patterns.

Oh, I’d be devastated.

What’re the odds on thanksgiving? Wondering if I’m going to miss out on visiting my right-wing in-laws.

It’s pretty garbage. I don’t trust the AI summary whatsoever. Just today I was trying to find out more information about something in a YouTube video, and it tried to tell me that no such thing existed when that’s what the YouTube video was literally documenting.

I know I need to de-google my life but I also know that it will take work and, well, inertia.

I’m a musician, and I like to write. I hate it. My husband uses it to help him code (I think; I have zero functional knowledge of his industry) and says it can be used in that capacity in certain ways.

The number of times I’ve heard peers say “I put this into chat gpt and it said…” makes me want to throw up. We think disinformation is bad now? We have no idea what’s coming.

Disclaimer: I know very little about stamps and ink; feel free to disregard me. But could it be used and/or meant for wax instead of ink?

I was advised to skip it and I still have not seen it. Don’t plan to change it. I like to pretend nothing bad ever happened to Tripp!
