  • Would you rather glow in the dark, or slowly get bigger when in water, and then shrink back to normal when dry?

  • I love to swim and the water one sounds really inconvenient. I choose glow! You would never really be afraid of the dark- like your own personal night light. Maybe i could get a job doing those nighttime ghost tours.

  • Why do vehicle insurance premiums go up & down for seemingly no reason? Should I contact my insurance company to inquire?

    Jump

  • Sometimes there's s discount if you go a certain number of months/years without a ticket or accident.

  • Also, it's increasing while the value of your car is decreasing. In Texas we used to be able to insure a car for a maximum amount. I could keep full coverage on my kids cars with a $10k max and it was only slightly higher than justhaving liability. Texas has taken away that option.

  • Parents, do y'all love your children more/less depending on if they reciprocate it? Or do you love your children the same regardless, even if they hate you?

  • His brother bought a gun, a little 22 pistol, on the advice of his therapist. He's taking classes, keeps it at home with safety on and a cable lock in a locked bag, and goes to the range to shoot at paper targets on sunday afternoons. Both sons are in their 30s. Angry sun says we shouldn't have let other son buy it and felt like we were condoning it by connecting him with a navy vet who teaches safety classes. When he got upset with us over the gun I accused him of being drama-seeking in a text (I get that you might enjoy the drama of saying you don't get along with your family. If you're not spending time with us, understand that it's because you're declining an invitation, not because you're not invited. We love you and we're always happy to see you.) That was our last real contact in late July. His wife's family are total trumpsters- Church-going, racism-spewing trumpsters. I know he hates that, but he spent Thanksgiving with them.

    I'm very stubborn and can hold a grudge forever. He shares that trait. I believe he just needs time and will come around. My husband is very very sad about it and scared that we will never see him again. Son with the gun is sad about losing his brother but also thinks he's being ridiculous.

  • We did the same with a chicken on the pellet grill. Delicious.

  • What was it like to live through the downfall of authoritarianism in the 70s-80s?

    Jump

  • Plane hijackings, gas lines/limits, mortgage interest rates over 10%, school bomb threats, ...

    We had movies and songs about nuclear war, Russians, bombing Iran, etc. because these were daily concerns.

  • What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?

  • Also, it's not a lie if you believe it.

  • Someone has created a Gmail clone where you can browse Jeffrey Epstein's emails

  • Wow. You can fall into that and lose two hours in a few minutes.

  • What's an album with a completely unique sound

    Jump

  • The two i listened to most when i was young were Sgt Pepper and Dark Side of the Moon. Happy for the vinyl revival so my kids can experience the two sides of an album.

    Jump

  • I have two. One calls me daily and stops by a few times per week. The other one quit talking to us in July. I love them both. I hope the distant one is doing well and returns to us when he's ready. His brother is missing him and that's hard.

  • I miss the standard issue cat community.

  • What kind of situation would you have to be in to think, "I really wish there was an American here right now."

    Jump

  • American, willing to be your brisket judge. Tex-mex too.

  • Greg Abbott threatens "100% tariff" on New Yorkers moving to Texas

  • If we want to buy a former new yorker, we now have to pay double?

  • Tylenol maker Kenvue purchased by Kimberly-Clark

    Jump

  • What's Kimberly Clark's connection to Trump/rfk? It's always transactional.

  • Do you think school uniforms are a form of authoritarianism?

    Jump

  • I work in schools. Pre-uniforms, there were so so many girls who arrived in appropriate clothes and then removed the top layer. Children shouldnt wear clothes to school that are more revealing than what you'd see in a bar. Social media teaches them that the goal is attention and it doesn't matter if it's positive or negative.

  • good insoles/other pain management for standing job?

    Jump

  • I never really believed in podiatrists. I had some stubborn tendonitis and a friend recommended her podiatrist. A $75 orthotic changed my life.
