Could the people who lose their minds when someone says something other than "you're welcome" in response to a "thank you" ("no problem!", "sure!", "no worries", "anytime", etc) kindly find a hobby? 😄

Looking for a dry, dusty cookie-like dessert filled with unappealing things like poppyseed goo? Look no further than hamantaschen!
The Venn diagram of people who think it's a-ok to receive presents and never acknowledge them in any form and people who never show after scheduling (sometimes more than once) to pick up items being gifted to them is certainly a circle
VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?
ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]
...If you do, by all means ask every stranger for their take on the situation in Iran, or abortion, the second you meet them. No one's stopping you. But I'll enjoy momentary connections when they're meaningful, and I'm still an introvert 🤷🏻♀️
I've said it before but: introverts are a not a monolith or a hive mind. We're not a mass of misanthropes (though I'm sure there are some), so let's not get it confused. We don't all "hate small talk" or eschew small connections...
"The bible is against..." has as much (or less) validity as "cookbooks are against"
Strawberry ice cream in a white bowl
Made some strawberry ice cream because that's how I roll on a Friday
Yeah I think incels tend to be. And they're oddly performing these rituals for (the approval of) other guys.
There must be a fairly direct line between an HHS dept peddling quack cures and denying proven science, and those lil' incels smashing themselves in the face with hammers and drinking solvents...
"Just join one of those old lady choirs! At least you'll be singing."
No, that is not what I want. Like, at all.
Can of Very Vanilla cold foam
This winter (and spring )brought to you by tea with cold foam. Latest try:
Me too, I had to watch it over 2 days. And the whole hamster thing was disturbing. Was it supposed to be funny?
Glad it wasn't just me because every review is GLOWING
(loved Conan in it, tho)
Even as someone who lives in a constant state of existential crisis + embraces darker content in entertainment, "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" is a movie I wish I could unsee. It frayed my already frayed nervous system in ways that were pretty awful. Maybe it's a brilliant masterwork, but for me...no
except less useful
It's fun when something you like and care about (and know more about than most people) is deemed "just trash"
Today I saw a black squirrel for the first time...as it ran under my car tires.
Friends, I did NOT kill (or even injure) a black squirrel today. I saw it emerge on the other side of the street. Stay safe, lil' squirrel 🐿️
So many people make jokes (that I hope are just jokes?) about food service workers spitting in the food of customers who don't treat them well, and people SHOULD 100% treat service workers well, but I can't imagine choosing to take revenge that's both illegal and disgusting
An ad in the middle of a two minute video is really something
Wow, it's disappointing to see how quickly people abandon their stated morality and principles when their companies slide into Christian nationalism
"none of it works without [my spouse]" = romantic, sweet
"I can't make anything work without a partner" = sad, pathetic, "love yourself first!"
I live in a sleepy seaside town and can confirm
Imagine if you took the dumbest, low-intellect, badly parented 5th grade bully you could conjure up, and then handed him the presidency. Twice. 🤦♀️
Some of you have never had to vigorously comparison shop or seek out discounts and it...eh, I'm just happy for you. Mazel.
I will happily drink (black) tea at any temperature
Tomorrow I'm going to try to make maple marshmallows
Ha ha I saw the pics and I loooove key lime
Me if you start rambling on about keto or Whole 30 or whatever: 🥱
