The story behind this meme is really sad. It makes me feel ashamed for liking it for so long

Oh, ugh, right. I forget sometimes that editors still don’t really have a place. I use Threads for different stuff, like dishing on pop culture With ACES chats coming to Threads, maybe it’ll get better. Plus you are able to hide bad comments from everybody, so they disappear

Oh no! What happened?! I prefer Threads over this place, and I deleted X a year ago. Then again, I really live for Reddit snark vibes…

I know this is a joke, but people take it seriously. Fox News *was* all over it, and the response was funny.

I was always fiercely into Samantha, but as an adult I’ve realized they wrote her to be really one-dimensional. She seriously is *only* ever after one thing, every single episode? Also, going back to the OP, technically they are all old episodes, right? 🙃

I hear you. I’ve had a very limited social battery for months. The only two friends I see regularly are the ones where we have a routine: either the dog park or a standing Friday dinner date

Do we, erm, HAVE to call it “skeeting”? It’s hard enough to still mourn the loss of tweeting, which was actually cute wordplay

Usually I disagree with AP but I agree with this one. It’s the same thing, and has sounded like people are too try-hard with it…. That said I totally understand NOT saying “the homeless” and I know “unsheltered” is an important term

For some reason I thought they did this already! Maybe that’s just because I work in tech, where we just kind of nod at AP and M-W

I wish there was a way to *volunteer* for jury duty. Pick me, courts! I was just summoned but didn’t have to report, and I’m so bummed. (I also have a corporate job that pays time off for jury duty, and I realize not everyone is afforded that!)

For us, puppyhood didn’t get better until Shadow was neutered… and that’s because he was finally eligible to go to our (members-only, safe) dog park. Walks didn’t (and still don’t) cut it. A tired dog is a good dog!

I’m the same way!! I actually tried Dramamine for the first time on that trip and it helped a lot, in case that’s not something you’ve tried before and were wondering about other experiences

I had that exact scenario for a trip last month… then on my way back, the Boeing was delayed for hours and an Airbus was suddenly available and only half-full. So that’s also a possibility

(Also, I hate wasteful excess, but sheets and blankets can always have a second life. Sewists like myself buy sheets from thrift stores for projects, and worn blankets are always needed for shelters!)

FYI: I just bought a 4TB solid state drive for $170. That is dirt cheap for this type of storage. Apparently SSDs are just really cheap right now — no need to wait for holiday deals!

I get really squeamish with horror movies, but there’s always a moment where I can just remember it’s a movie. To me the real nightmare fuel is watching footage of real shit that happened. Like I’m still recovering from the second episode of the new Ed Gien documentary…

Ah, is that where it started?! I’ve come across the term in other social spheres, usually to mean that someone *thinks* they are the main character in a scenario when they are not. Like that ill-fated essay with the young woman abroad in Florence last spring

100%! Granted I’m very patient with new co-workers. But over time, when they don’t listen and learn, it’s incredibly aggravating. Part of it too is that they aren’t paying us for our services. We’re just a part of the day-to-day, and sometimes they think we’re happy to do the heavy lifting.

Waking up to see Ashton Kutcher’s anti-trafficking efforts getting dragged is better than caffeine tbh. Sex workers have been shouting from the mountaintops about this for years. Nobody heard us, or worse, accused us of being pedos. Y’all should listen to sex workers.

I always feel like something must be wrong with me because I *don’t* have imposter syndrome. But really, it’s because I’m in B2B marketing — no one can actually run a full marketing program. We’re all just bumbling along, together.

Honestly I do love some expert trolling, but so many podcasters like the one who did this are so niche. My husband even knows that podcaster and was fooled for a minute.

I think this thread is starting to get kind of prickly, when we are, thankfully, all on the same side! This essay does a great job explaining why a boycott of Netflix is not the right call, without the snark:

Reddit is where I find local subcontractors, learned how to sew garments, learned photography, and went for support and (critical!) info when we got our puppy. Is it possible you just haven’t really tried it?
