  • I got a “retrowave” in mint green. It’s dumb, uses a turn dial to set the cook time, stands on little feet like it’s from Rocko’s Modern Life, and looks like it’s from the 50’s. Have a matching toaster and eventually want a matching fridge.

    It’s been 4 years and no issues which is more than I can say about a lot of other new appliances we’ve gotten for the house.

    For dumb appliances with a fun aesthetics look up 'retro (name of appliance here) and you’ll get all the brands who make stuff like that. It’s the only way I’ve been able to avoid smart garbage so far.


  • I really love your advice and how you interact with the world.

    My one piece of advice to you would be to keep sharing it and encouraging others down your path of being willing to help.

    Unfortunately too many women have run into these situations, asked for help and were told they were over reacting and making problems. Next time it happens they hesitate to ask or dont bother. That’s not your fault, or anyone’s fault that is willing to help. Just trying point out why some women might not go for that option right away. Especially if they are unsure if the guy in question is threat or not.

    Your attitude and willingness to help is refreshing though, and its a good reminder that there are people in the world willing to help so thanks for reminding me of that. Keep being awesome and a force of positivity in the world.


  • I prefer when all people occupying the road, whether its a pedestrian, cyclist, motorcyclist, car, or horse rider be as visible as possible.

    Its why I refuse to drive a gray or silver car. They blend in with the pavement at certain times in the am and pm and if it’s raining really hard they disappear. In a lot of ways they are worse than black cars.

    What’s wrong with making sure you are visible? Why is that something to make fun of? (I’m not asking you directly, I just don’t get the joke in the ad.)



  • It’s still insane to me that people were actually doing that. I know meds like ivermectin and pyrantel are used in humans but still… Horses have BIG organs, and that paste is a suspension dosed specifically to get rid of equine intestinal worms. It’s not the same as the pill you get from a pharmacy.

    Even if those people who ate horse dewormer felt no ill effects I bet there’s some organ damage in there. I’d hazard a guess that human livers and kidneys don’t like high doses of that stuff.



  • For some of us American’s we’re trapped in it and it seems like it’ll never go away no matter how much we hate it.

    I’m someone who lives in a very rural area because I can’t afford to live in a city… so I need a car. Somehow, a mortgage and sharing a car with my husband is still more affordable than living in a walkable/bikable city in my state. That’s a problem. I don’t know how to fix it, but that’s a freaking problem. Rent in some areas is double my mortgage on my small house. People who rent are getting royally fucked over by ever increasing prices.

    If we want people to have less cars then cities need to be affordable for people to live in. It shouldn’t cost more to not have a car. The US has so many backwards problems it starts to feel insurmountable.
