I know what all of these are supposed to be except the tender hooks one. I’ve said it aloud and it’s driving me crazy because I can NOT figure it out.

Is it a regional one maybe? I’m from the US so maybe it’s one from elsewhere in the world? I bet I’m going to feel like a real dumb dumb when I figure out the answer and it’s hella obvious lmao.

Edit: Googled it and figured out that it’s actually “tenterhooks” and just basically means that someone is uneasy. I’ve never heard that phrase in my life. Kinda dope that I learned a new phrase today!

TAKE YOUR DAMN CLOTHES OFF!

I mean, I finally quit Hulu over this, and neither my husband or I had even watched Hulu in about a year at this point. I’d always kept the subscription going “just in case,”. I was the only one paying and neither of us has any qualms about letting it go.

I can’t believe that we’re the only ones in this bracket of users.

Idk. When I went to Munich seemed like it was hella packed and everyone there was having a dope ass time, whether they were foreigners or not.

It felt like something even the locals got stoked for during the walk from the train to the entrance. This was Sept 2019, so idk how the comeback after covid feels.

Well I for one opened the thread and went “Ho-lee shit.” And then I showed my husband and aggressively demanded him to admit that this is a handsome boi.

So this internet stranger approves!

PvZ is STILL my mobile game of choice for long flights when I dont want to pay for internet.

Ugh, pop on a podcast and boot PvZ up, and I legit dont even realize literal hours have passed.

I refer to my 2 dogs as “my children” all the time, to the point that when I’m calling them both in from outside, I throw open the door and shout “Children!” Or when they’re being annoying, I’m like “Children, stop!”

So I would just have to shout the word “Children!” And they’d come to me.

That’s me. I’m a fucking idiot when it comes to computer shit.

I feel like a goddamned wizard just opening up command prompt lmao.

So no, I’ve never booted from a USB. I definitely believe that I’m the minority on here though.

And I don’t watch Star Trek either.

Why am I even here?

Oof, glad I read this so we know what questions to ask/red flags to look out for if we ever do pull the trigger on purchasing a condo!

COA fees going from $110 to $930 is fucking wildly crazy work. Did they at least tell you WHY it shot up like that?

And its also crazy that special assessments cab be billed for that high per unit. We’d be fucked! I thought the point of paying COA fees each month was supposed to spread the cost of maintenance around/ensure there are savings in the bank to cover major repairs!

I’m also that coworker. Bought a 1995 build house in 2013, and sold it last year. Holy cost of maintenance. Roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, gutters, siding. We upgraded the windows too, so that was a choice, but nothing else was. Didn’t have money for professional interior upgrades because we were maintaining the structure itself instead.

If I ever buy a house ever again, it will be a condo so I’m only responsible for the INSIDE. As of right now, after all that, I’m happy renting. I’m so disinterested with painting and whatnot, that it doesn’t bug me to have white walls.

I do agree that the pet situation sucks though. We have 2 “aggressive breeds” that were strays we picked up off the street years ago (2016 and 2020), a Pit mix and a Dobie mix. Finding someone to rent to us with those was a chore. And for the few years we rented out our home (military. Lived in it while we were stationed there, rented it out for a few years, moved back in when we returned to the same duty station), we didn’t have a breed restriction.

We’re about to move across the country again, and I’m STOKED to be moving into an apartment. Rn we’re renting a SFH and it has been so nice knowing that money we had saved up isnt about to disappear because the water heater broke or whatever.

Bruh just this MORNING, on Lemmy, under an article about Kerrville rejecting emergency management funding from the Biden admin, there was this comment:

“Children of Republican parents grow up to become Republican voters”

YES it was in context with the Camp Mystic deaths. YES it had upvotes.

And it was so fucking disgusting to see.

This was my first thought as soon as I read the question.

Where do you live that the women you see every day make Cate Blanchett the “average”?!

Ugh, seconding the makeup. Im spending 2025 on a low buy where Im only replacing essentials (like foundation, mascara, or eyeliner) as I need them.

Recently Coloured Raine went out of business and dropped all their eyeshadow prices down to $2.50, and I bought all of the palettes that were still available. Im pretty sure I have every single eyeshadow color at this point. The stack is so high I havent put them away in my vanity yet. Its like…9 palettes or something, on top of all the others I also have.

Bought a Jackery a few years ago for camping purposes, and I love it. We’ve never drained it completely from 100% charge. It had been sitting in the house, off for months, and we needed it this past weekend for camping. Pulled it out on TGiving day to find it was still @ 77%. Couldn’t find the charger because we recently moved, but we had the solar panels. It was charged back up to 100% within a few hours, which shocked me.

Its definitely overpowered for what we currently use/need it for, but we also lived through the 2021 Snowpocalypse in Texas, so I reasoned that it would come in handy if we ever ran into a similar situation again.
