  • For about 10 years now my phone has been on do not disturb. Not just while I'm driving, but just always. The only exception to the DND is my mom, who until about a month ago when she passed, I was caregiving for, and genuinely needed to be able to get her calls regardless of what was going on. I don't get notifications for anything, and I don't see calls when they're actually happening. Need me, send a text and I'll see the little thing in the notification shade maybe. Lol.

    Because I'm not caregiving for my mom anymore, I'm on the job hunt and have had to turn do not disturb off so if I get a call for an interview I can answer it. I hate it so much. Constant scam/spam calls, telemarketers, et cetera. It suuuucks. Obviously, it's not the worst thing about all this, but it certainly doesn't help matters

  • Thanks I hate it. Well, more than I did in the first place

  • Like with most shows brought over from the UK, the us version lost a lot of it's soul, but it builds it back up over the course of the first season. It can be a little silly sometimes, and it's definitely it's own little creature by now, but it's actually pretty good. My mom loved it before she passed, and I quite like it.

  • You have no downvote on this comment (that I can see, anyway) and the urge to downvote it just for the hahas was quite strong. I won't, because people apparently care about that stuff, but I just wanted to share that I used will power this night

  • If Mario ever drops into the public domain, you could make a fortune on this.

    Write the movie now and wait. The day it hits public domain you'll be ready.

  • This is the only correct form. Until this very moment I have almost always fallen on the descriptivist side of things, but this is now the prescriptivist hill I will die on.

  • Do they deposit the cecal pellets in the litterboxes, or do they just do them any where they please and immediately munch on em?

  • I've always wondered if the people who keep pet rabbits and teach them to use litter boxes are hurting the bunnies by preventing them from doing this. Or will the rabbits just eat clay-covered cecotropes?

  • What are three questions you can ask someone new to know if they are friend material or not?

  • That sounds fun!

  • What ya nerds set your thermostats to?

    Jump

  • As cold as the other people in the house will let me. I have rarely lived anywhere with functioning central heat and air (and have never liked it when I did), so generally I use window units and a cunningly devised system of curtains. I don't care if a hallway or the bathroom gets hot, so long as the bedroom and kitchen stay cool, y'know?

    In the winter I almost never use heating, except for a small space heater I just take room to room with me, and one that I run while in the shower.

  • It's the same thing in that both cutting sugar from your diet and living inside a 90°F/32°C box both take all possibility of joy out of your life

  • My answer would be something along the lines of: I think astrology is vague enough to apply pretty generally, but the interesting thing about it is seeing people's reactions. It's a social placebo, and we can see how different people read into the same thing. "A new experience awaits you, Aries" and we see one person anticipating a raise a work, and thus behaving more confidently and getting it, while another is expecting divorce papers, and their behavior is helping them to reach that goal, too.

  • Yes, but I haven't watched a ton.

    Those two are my favorites of what I've seen (outside of Ghibli, which I feel like is a category unto itself).

    I haven't seen the last season of Attack on Titan, so don't spoil it, but I feel like Eren is complicated enough that I'm not going to form a full opinion until I see how it plays out. Light, however, I think is an irredeemable sociopath that justified his murderlust by going after socially convenient targets until he decided it didn't matter anymore, and began to think of himself as a god.

    Fucking excellent storytelling, but I didn't care for the L replacement kid
