Have y'all ever had someone act like you were hurting them somehow by just liking a food?
Any time I buy or make kimchi, my Mom says it's so gross and she doesn't want any and just on and on. I never offer it to her, or make group food with it, but for some reason she seems offended by it, and I don't know why.
Je dois débarrasser le lave-vaisselle, faire du rangement, préparer la seconde machine à laver, ranger la préparation du repas de ce soir, passer l'aspirateur dans la chambre (j'aime mon chat d'un amour pur).
Et vous, vous avez des taches ménagères et vous êtes sans motivation ?

Everything is greedflated at this point. Food, appliances, health care, it's impossible to avoid. I don't own a car so I am spared that expense.
Man, the Open Collective Foundation dissolution emails continue to be the worst and most needlessly hostile vibes. Pulling the rug out from under hundreds of great tiny vulnerable projects while speaking to them like a power-tripping schoolteacher is really something.
@ericshead I recognize that there's considerable variation in communication styles and preferences, but specifically when you've just done a bunch of damage, it feels so wild to me to not a.) apologize and b.) approach the people you've messed with with as much genuine care as possible, along every axis.
And to be clear, I'm not after, like, insincere small talk, but real care backed by demonstrated and extraordinary effort at repair.
Shopping for memory foam mattress toppers is an exercise in sorting through dozens of products that appear to be almost exactly the same, and each one has reviews saying it's way too hard and uncomfortable right alongside reviews saying it's way too soft and you sink into it too much.
@rose_alibi There are so many things I own that I like that I wish I had bought five of at the time, because they are no longer made, or they are somehow worse, or they just aren't available for purchase online. And now I'm faced with this situation trying to replace them
If you wanted to explain to a 10 year old how a button or switch can change between two things, like AM or FM on a radio, but didn't want to use a radio because it may be outdated... what example might you use?
@eco_amandine mmm no more like " what a sweet lil guy" if they have a dog or "have a nice walk" if they're going out with their baby or "such a nice day!" if someone is working on their plants
I know language is fluid and I try not to be overly prescriptivist, but I am never going to be able to accept “learnings” as a valid noun. I’ve tried, but I just can’t, and I need to accept that about myself.
@Meyerweb I'm with you, but how do you feel about “teachings?” After remembering that word, which I'm OK with, I'm torn about “learnings.” #Language#Usage
@voidedmain@can genau kann ich dir das aber auch micht mehr sagen, habe mir das leider nicht so genau gemerkt - Organtransport passt fürich aber immernoch am besten, gerade weil "Transplant" draufstand und die Insassen augenscheinlich nach dem richtigen Weg gesucht haben
Ok, I’m sorry, I’m going to ruffle feathers here but… I’m trying to read some newer development process books and… oh my… even super popular ones are so immensely long winded and unconvincing in their dogmatic argumentation: this is bad, this is good, because I said so that’s why.
Recent examples that I’m struggling to finish: “Team Topologies” and “Data Mesh” - I mean they might be great but I’m getting strong “this should’ve been a blogpost” feels.
Nobody seems to give one fuck in this nation about the disenfranchised Black voters of South Carolina. That’s okay. Nobody is going to give a fuck about any white people soon either.
