When I moved over I searched for versions of all my reddit communities. Sadly, a lot of them are inactive, but I subbed anyway just in case. Then I went onto all and looked for the top handful that had stuff I liked. Now I mostly stick to my subscribed and flip over to all if I run out.
Ditto! Sometimes I struggle with getting carried away at night, but talking through to myself when I go to snack helps me with getting it back under control (…usually.) Just going “Why do I feel like I NEED a second dessert?” can sometimes get me to stop and walk away.
I got in on an earlier flight, and arrived at 6 it was a pain in the ass… I literally had to walk around for like 4 hours until things opened, and I was so tired and weary all day.
I guess I’m surprised because I’ve never been at a hotel that didn’t have a lobby open 24/7. Sure you can’t check in, but I’m surprised you couldn’t plop down in a seat in the lobby and read or browse on your phone until you could check in.
When I was a young teen, one of my friends gave me a floppy disk of midi song files she liked a lot but they mostly had names like “ANIME 2” so I had no idea where they came from. There was one on there I was particularly obsessed with but could never find. Then one serendipitous day, I did. It was The Destruction of Laputa from Castle in the Sky.
Edit: Or it was Sora from Escaflowne. There’s been a few times I heard an instrumental or non-English song with no source to go off of.
Currently reading Dune by Frank Herbert. (I have not seen the movie yet–I want to read the book first.)
Currently listening to Dead Beat by Jim Butcher. I generally reserve audiobooks for things I have read. I don’t like to reread things but I like listening to them and picking up on the stuff I missed (or in the case of the Dresden Files, forgot.)
I’m surprisingly into it! I’m not much of a major sci-fi person, though I’ve dabbled. It’s a bit harder for me to get into sci-fi in general, and I figured Dune would be a difficult read. But I find it very easy to visualize. Sometimes the random terminology trips me up but I’m still getting the gist enough to enjoy it. I haven’t gotten very far yet so that may change but I think I’m going to like the book.
I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It’s such a small specific thing, one I’d never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now....
I am a woman whose father was an abusive narcissist, the list of what I needed and didn’t get is depressing to say the least. So I’ll boil it down to its essence: Be there when needed. Remember she is her own person, not an extension of you. Try to make her life better than your own. Let your love be unconditional. It may not be helpful advice, but it’s all I got for ya.
I’ve always wanted to throw an Afternoon Tea party. Does anyone have any experience doing so that they’d be willing to share? I just want to hear the stories. I’m not sure if I’ll ever really get the chance; none of my friends are local to me, so I’d probably just be hosting for my mom in law and sister in law, but a...
It’s nice to have a fleeting moment of positive connection, if it’s just talking about the weather. In fact it’s usually talking about the weather, in my experience.
They don’t creep me out but I fucking hate birds. They’re so goddamn noisy. When I hear a bird near my window screaming, something primal in me activates and I wanna climb out on the ledge and throw rocks at it to make it shut the fuck up.
Hello! I have a very low mileage, but older car (about 33k miles and it’s a 2011 Chevy Cruze.) I have no real interest in purchasing a new car but I do kind of wish I had some of the bells and whistles of a newer car. We have an excellent local place who can do installations of electronics in cars; I’ve gotten a remote...
I thought a rear/backup cam would be nice. I don’t know what other options there are that are worth going. If the answer is ‘none’ then I’m glad I asked :)
Oh bummer, those latter things ARE what I was wanting. That’s too bad. I’m not very interested in Android Auto, I’m perfectly content with having my phone on a mount with an aux cord.
It looks like the remote starter and a rear/dash cam combo might be it!
Wow thank you for the comprehensive write up! At this time we won’t be getting a new car–my husband and I are squirreling away our money for a down payment in the event we ever find a house, and since both our cars are still in fantastic condition, that takes precedence. But I will save your post, just in case!

What is a song you wanted to find again for a long time, but it gave you no clear clue about how to search for it?
I would also be curious to hear how you eventually found it again!...
What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? May 14
A very busy week, didn’t get to do any reading at all....
Are there any household gadgets you found unexpectedly useful after you'd gotten them?
