    I used to be disgusted that people didn’t seem to care that they were risking their own privacy and national security to boot. But then I remembered that our own government won’t do anything to keep our individual privacy in check from corporations. So as long as that’s the case, I don’t see why anyone should give a fuck. The government did this to themselves.

    Malcolm in the middle was always excellent for showing exaggerated examples of realistic family meals. For breakfast the kids are all eating some kind of sugary cereal and maybe some orange juice and dad is running as fast as he can to grab coffee and go burning himself in the process. Or on the occasion they make a nice weekend breakfast, the older boys grab most of the food and there’s almost nothing left for Dewey. If that show could manage to come up with a multitude of family meal scenarios over the course of the show, why can’t people writing movie scripts write one single semi-realistic scene? This trope bugs me just as much as hanging up without concluding the call.

    It depends on the laws in the state/county/city. In the worst case scenario, you could serve jail time. In the best case scenario, you stay away from that town and nothing happens. In the medium case scenario, the municipality sends it to collections where you’ll then be harassed and/or dinged on your credit report.






  • If we’re strictly talking dust accumulation, there’s a few things you can do to reduce this.

    • Make sure to change the filter in your HVAC system and intake vents every few months with a high quality filter. The better the filter, the more you need to change it.
    • You can also add an air filter to individual rooms. I added them to all our bedrooms and it helps a ton with keeping dust down.

    Aside from that, you’ll still need to dust every so often and how often will depend on how fast it gets dirty again and how deep you want to clean. I use a vacuum and damp rag to dust shelves and such every month and I dust other things like blinds and fan blades and pull out furniture and appliances once a year. Every few years we’ll need to remove something that usually never moves and we’ll clean up the dust from that. I will say it’s much easier to clean stuff regularly when you don’t have lots of things laying around or taking up space. Keeping literal objects tidy makes it less of a chore. It’s a lot easier to just wipe a table than to wipe a table and all the knick knacks.



  • The last apartment I had, the landlord at some point had put very rough outdoor quartz tiles in the kitchen. They were porous and had crevices everywhere so were impossible to keep clean. Our routine became vacuuming for regular cleaning, mopping any sticky spots when needed, and getting on our hands and knees once a year to scrub the tile with soap and brushes. It was the only way to actually clean the tile and the tile would change colors every time we did it. Did I mention that this tile has been installed over 3 more layers of flooring? Classic landlord special apartment.



  • I feel you. I weirdly did have vegetables and things growing up, but my mom self admittedly hates cooking. So most of what we ate consisted of casseroles made up of things dumped out of a can and any veggies likely also came from a can and we’re heated up on the stove. She also over cooked all the meat to make sure people wouldn’t get sick. So all the veggies were bland and mushy and all the meat was dry as fuck. I’ll never forget the first time I ate fresh pineapple at my inlaws house and it was one of the best things I ever tasted. I’m pretty good at cooking now and I’ve managed to help my mom improve in all ways as well. She now uses a meat thermometer that I got her for Christmas. I cooked her some fresh broccoli in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and she loved it and started making hers that way instead of boiling it. Baby steps, but we’re making progress.


  • For me, someone who uses a Mac for work but still has to use the office environment, it goes something like this:

    Google the issue

    Google the issue + office for Mac

    Find a forum about the exact issue I’m having

    Loads of people commenting having the same issue

    Expert answers and says “That feature is not available for Macs at this time. How about you post it as a suggestion for the devs at this link here>>>”

    Post is minimum 3 years old and there’s still no solution.

    Gee thanks.
