I grew up going to PA every summer from 1980 on. Am I imagining things, or did the Middleswarth chips used to come in a cardboard tub? I think we'd pick them up at Weis for some ridiculous price.

You know they think their limp dick tactical cosplay boots can handle anything, just like people think big SUV/truck = better in snow/ice.

In Hackers, they mention that RISC will change everything. That movie came out in 1995.

The way hamsters are practically packaged up as toys for children is appalling.

I remember goody bags at birthday parties as early as the late 80s! They definitely weren’t as ubiquitous as they are now, but they were a thing, at least in greater Boston. They were filled with the same disposable shit back then, too.

I knew a guy ~25 yrs ago whose beater had a busted front pax door that only opened from outside. He warned dates about it before they got in, but he still felt like a creep for it and hated what he called his “date rape mobile”. He’d probably die before driving a Tesla for that reason alone.

I do the same, despite being from Boston. But it’s not an issue with the cold; I will get an ice cream cone from a walk-up window in the dead of winter. I just think iced coffee tastes like shit.

I drink hot coffee in all 12 months, and this is correct.

I heard the same gripe from a handful of family and friends who moved down there from here (Boston area). Nor could they get good subs, pizza, or Chinese food. I remain torn between not caring about iced coffee and being extremely here for any reason to hate on Florida.

This is literally like using your phone keyboard’s predictive text as a story source. What the fuck are you doing?

Only rich kids even had actual Lego kits when I was that age (I swear to god I don’t care if you weren’t “rich” and you had them)

I live in a beach town, and if I had any concern left for seagulls before watching one swallow a rabbit whole this year, I certainly no longer have that problem.

It was everywhere on Threads yesterday. (I made the mistake of taking a peek back in there to look at a post from someone I follow on IG. It’s even worse now.)

The Louvre heist is France’s version of our Isabella Stewart Gardener museum heist, but I guess that energy had to come back around in our direction

Fifteen years ago I felt pretty embarrassed pronouncing a word wrong, but now I’m just boasting like “oh yeah I guess I only know that one from READING it in a BOOK”

I will concede all of it except for windows and locks. I hate AC—only use it if I’m in slow traffic when it’s roasting or at highway speeds with other people in the car—so I like to be able to control all the windows if I’m driving alone. I want instant control of all locks for safety.

“Rural” is when you have a riding lawnmower you can pretend is a tractor when you’re listening to country music

I had a chat support person break script briefly to say “I wish to have more customers as understanding as you”. Remember that your issue is with the company, and if you feel too upset to keep your calm, ask to elevate your complaint instead of unloading.

We had a Moment last year at work during fundraiser planning - we couldn’t believe it had never occurred to us before what a weird visual “fill the thermometer” is. If your thermometer is full, you are dead. I wonder how that even started.

If you went out to a bar and didn’t wash your hair before going to sleep, you’d have to wash all your bedding the next day. I would have to leave my coat outside overnight, too. It was foul.

Well good luck to ICE if they decide to target the Portuguese population of RI and SE Mass.

A map showing “Percent of Portuguese Americans by State”, cropped to the east coast. RI has the darkest color in the key, corresponding to 9%, and MA is the second darkest, corresponding to 4-5%. (CT & NH are the next step down, followed by ME, VT & NJ, then the rest of the map is in the lightest shade, labeled >0.5%.)

My firefighter husband’s first station was near MIT, and I can state for the record: many such cases

My mother seemed to very quickly clock the evaporation of my tolerance when my son was born. She hasn’t really changed, and I don’t think it would work if she lived less than a day’s drive away, but for now she toes the line required to stay in our lives.

I took it when I got covid while pregnant, and the turnaround was dramatic. It’s not meant to compete with vaccines, just shorten the duration of acute illness, reducing the risk of complications.

I can’t imagine going through the mental hell of that investigation and have it amount to nothing due to evil bullshit on your own side

Guys in the background are extremely NPC. A lot of the same poses, no interaction, facing in weird angles in relation to one another.

They could be a city if they wanted to, but they would have to vote to change to a city form of government. (Even then, they could keep the “town” designation if desired.)

My grad program was about 50% Chinese students, and the racism some of them experienced after covid began was fucking awful. The Asian pop share of my hometown has grown from 3 to 30% since I was born, and there was definitely not a kinder racism reserved for them.

It’s true; when I revealed that to my disciples (coworkers), they spread the gospel and I apparently became their savior (IT support without having to put in a ticket)

So not the point, but I’m so dazed with it all right now that all I can think is that this is the first family gun portrait (what a phrase) where everyone is showing muzzle and trigger discipline

Maintenance costs and taxes going up are nothing when considering the relative stability of ownership. I’m not interested in arguments that are based on a home being an asset, either. It’s housing.
