The advice I’ve heard for Parks and Rec is to straight up skip season 1. If you ever try again, I’d say you won’t miss anything crucial by going in cold in season 2.

That’s a great teacher.

My kid last year in 5th grade (or maybe even the year before?) and his classmates figured out they could use shared Google Docs on their school accounts to have chats with each other, during school. The parent side of me rolled my eyes but the 80s kid in me was legitimately proud. Did I narc on them? Hell no.

The one hilarious thing is that all sorts of new social issues arise with this kind of workaround. Document names get changed, someone deletes something that someone else thinks is important, etc., and they have to work it out. So it’s a learning experience, for sure!

Mine are probably lasting about as long as previous non-EV cars, but I’m also terrible about getting them rotated when it’s not combined with an oil change.

Godspeed friend

That’s dark and totally believable, fuck.

For real, I think this might be the core of my personal system of ethics and beliefs.

“Design”

If the headlights symbol on your dashboard is blue and the lines coming from it are straight (not slanted), that means your high beams are on. Fucking turn them off

I was a big fan growing up. Really liked Achtung Baby and of course Joshua Tree is a great album. I even liked Zooropa and Pop. Went to see them live in the 2000s but by then the shine was wearing off; I was getting older and being a fan of things wasn’t as important to my identity anymore. But I was curious recently, so I looked up when their partnership with Apple started… Yeah, it was exactly the time I stopped liking them as much. It was both validating and depressing to make that connection. I’d always nodded along when people talked about bands selling out, but U2 was my band and they weren’t supposed to do that! Now I feel like they’re the poster child of selling out.

Doesn’t go far enough for Schenker.

(But you’re right.)

This is niche, never expected to see a meme about Schenker of all people on a very generalized community. I dig it though.

I don’t love audiobooks but last year I made the switch from podcasts to audiobooks and I haven’t looked back. Podcasts are fine but I get my news online and too much of it anyway, and I wanted to prioritize reading instead. I also always make sure to have an ebook loaded on my phone, and I find myself reaching for it when I run out of Lemmy, or if I’m waiting at a doctor’s office or in line somewhere. It’s really nice to have an alternative to the internet. Highly recommended!

Btw I use Libby and Bookwyrm to track so it’s all 100% free. I purchase physical copies of the ones I really like.

I think so; that’s why we run the water.

I think the idea of “fairness” comes in that everyone has to do something, regardless of whether you use the seat or not. If you don’t use the seat, then you put the lid and seat down (presumably in one go). If you do use the seat, you put the lid down. Either way, you have to lift something before you use the toilet.

Personally I think toilets should just have their lids closed when not in use, regardless.

That’s a fair case. We don’t use one of our tubs and every once in a while we have to flush it with water because we get sewer smell. Unused bathroom facilities apparently cause problems.

Not at all. One of my kids only likes to watch the same thing over and over and over. I think it must be comforting in the same way that we like to listen to the same music over and over; we recognize what comes next and there is a comfort in having that power.

Legit though, if I know I have to wait somewhere, having an ebook on my phone (via Libby) makes it way easier to ignore the internet.

Not even sure how you can see her eyes behind the layers and layers of false eyelashes.
