Rich people pay me lots of money to reupholster their ugly, boring-ass beigey-grey furniture to make it look..... same ol' boring beigey-grey. Then they display it In their giant beige house.

Makes me want to fucking scream. Rich boomers have absolutely no fucking taste.

Okay so I've told this story before.. completely changed my perspective on my beliefs.

One day, I was making food for my young one. He was maybe a bit over 2 years old? Maybe 3. Anyway, I made him food and said "anything you don't eat, I'll put into a baggie".

He then asks "what's a baggie?" I show him the sandwich baggies in the drawer and then explain that grocery bags can also be called "baggies", say "see?" then showed him a plastic grocery bag from the cupboard.

His eyes get all wide then ge starts sobbing. Alarmed, I ask him what's wrong and he sobs "No baggie!!!! No baggie!!!!" I asked him why and he says, still crying, "My old mommy... she put a baggie over my head and I died!" He then immediately stops crying, like nothing had happened, and went to play with his cars. I tried to coax him into repeating what he had just said, like "what? Hun, what do you mean? What did you say?" And he looked at me like I was bonkers and just said "huh?", apparently not remembering what he had said moments before, even after I brought it up at multiple different times of the day.

All of this was completely out of character for him, and nothing like that ever happened again. He was never told about death or shown it in any media at that point or anything else like that, so I was baffled.

It definitely made me rethink my stance on things like reincarnation and stuff like that. It was.. too strange. Never could explain it.

I'll adopt a cat. 🤞

EDIT: I read the question wrong, but I'm keeping it up.

I didn't do this. I voted for the less evil of the parties, I advocate for the handicapped and disabled, I support LGBTQ+ rights, I give resources to those who can't afford healthcare or houses. I did what I fucking could.

This is like blaming the individual for pollution. Who's contributing the most to pollution?

It sucks. It sucks so fucking hard. But we need to keep going and not cease our efforts in the face of despair.

I'm doing what I can. That's what I can do, and that's what I will do.

 

Beautiful creature.

 

I am not a tech person, but I cleaned out my secondhand PC today, and it took hours with the sheer amount of dust accumulation. The fans were nearly overloaded with it!!

Does a clean PC run better / faster than one filled with dust? Or is it more a matter of keeping the fans running easily? Or something else..? Idk, maybe I imagined it, but it seemed to boot much faster after cleaning. Could be wishful thinking!

I'm in need of more images ~~to steal~~ to collect. Please post your favorites!

Make sure you put questionable/NSFW behind spoilers, please.

Also, where do your images come from? Mine came mostly from 4ch×n, D×scord, and R×ddit (which I no longer use).

Here's some of mine:

And only sometimes.

Before people start asking in the comments, the website is a niche fashion archive.

 

Every time I go outside to my yard, my elderly neighbor comes out and tries to talk with me. Every. Single. Time. Without fail. I go out to relax and do gardening and yard work, and his presence makes me increasingly anxious & leaves me feeling particularly uncomfortable/unsafe.

He is dealing with dementia, and has become increasingly vulgar and outspoken, and even made some vastly inappropriate remarks about his wife & my other neighbor while my child was right there.

His wife is tired. I know this. Christ, I would be, too. He was kind of insufferable even before the dementia got bad (think him talking about his shitty political views), but, god.. I am so tired of babysitting him while I try to unwind in my own yard. He'll talk over the fence or simply waltz past it and follow me around while I try to do stuff or as I'm trying to talk to my kid.

One thing I know is this: do not piss off your neighbors, because, chances are, you will probably be living next to them for a looooong time.

What can I do? I just want peace without feeling like I'm being accosted.

The noise scared my lizard something frightful!

Everyone was okay and no one was badly injured. Except for a patch of my lilies. But they're pretty resilient.

Taken between June 5th - June 10th, 2024, Michigan.

Not a professional photo in any sense. Apologies for that. But I saw this grumpy-looking little guy/gal in a bush and took a photo from a distance away. Wanted to share it, even if it's not as good as any of the other photos posted here.

One of the babies I've been observing since the nest was built above my deck. It was fascinating to see them grow up & finally leave the nest! All 4 are finally gone.

I wish them the best in their growth and hope they are able thrive safely.

 

My cat passed away around 2 years ago now. I miss him a lot, but just haven't been financially stable enough to adopt another.

Could you post nice stories and funny things about your cat(s) and talk about how much you love them? Thank you!
