My friend went to Iceland and he said it smells lowkey like egg farts from the sulfur from the volcanoes and springs? Is that the case?

I shouldn't need a smartphone app to do a load of laundry.

I shouldn't have to gently caress around with the Internet of poo poo just to have clean loving clothes.

credburn posted:When someone posts in a Facebook group, "thought the group would like this," but they are not a bot. It's the same as when my grandmother sends me e-mails that say "I send you this file in order to have your advice." It is a pet peeve because I don't want to think that hard about whether or not a person is a bot and when they post something and for some reason use the exact same phrasing the bots do I just assume they are. Corollary to this is when the FB group is for some veet specific thing and there's someone in there just posting whatever poo poo they find, and when anyone is like "hey stay on topic" they're always like "well I AM a nerd/poly/alumni of x university so by definition anything I post is related" gently caress those people in particular.

My current building has coin op laundry and it sucks. Even if I use cash for all my day to day shopping I rarely have 4 bucks in quarters in my change pile so I've got to make a trip to the bank just to withdraw a roll anyway. These machines also seem not to recognize any coin minted in current century so sometimes I end up not being able to do my laundry after all. Give me a laundry card I can top up with debit any day

Give me a laundry card I can top up with debit any day This was my experience with the coin op machines in the last decade. My previous apartment switched over to cards, and it was great because I could just put a $5, $10, or $20 (it didn't use debit) into the machine and be able to do laundry. The only downside was I could only reload my card during office hours.

Yeah, we have a card system in my building and even having to go to the other building in my complex to reload is still way more convenient than having to go to the bank every so often for quarters

Used to live by a laundromat/coffee shop and that was infinitely better than dealing with an apartment laundry ngl. The mix of detergent and coffee smells is near and dear to my heart now.

My last apartment building tried to ban residents from drying clothes outside on their balconies for "safety reasons", and gee would you look at that the week the ban went into effect they just so happened to open the new coin operated laundry in the sub-basement, what a coincidence.

This year, as every year, my aunt invited me to go to the beach with them. This year, as every, no, tantine, I do not have the money or job leave to say spontaneously fly across the ocean to chill on the mediterranean. You know I hate Nice and yes I notice how you pointedly don't invite my wife, just me. She's going to later blame me for not keeping up with the family. peeve: her, and also the idea one should value blood family over chosen family

I would park around back, pop in, stick a $20 in their quarter machine, and go back to my apartment.It was a pretty nice laundromat, as I had to use it for a couple weeks when they remodeled the apartment laundromat, but it was a lot more convenient to use the one in my apartment.

If you're a single person living in an apartment, a portable washing machine is well worth it and doesn't take long to pay for itself. I go use a real washing machine if I need to wash something large like a quilt or pillows, but for that I go to the laundromat instead of using the apartment ones because someone keeps puking in them. For a while I was doing laundry in a trash can in the shower, and I'd rather go back to that than deal with the apartment washing machine bullshitery.

We have one single washing machine and dryer for a series of buildings that probably are altogether twenty units. The one time I went to use it there was a HUGE black thing stuck to the inside of the washer. I pried it off the side, and it was a big fat fuckin turd.

Seems like every TV show gets to the point where they seem to have to have an episode (or ongoing message) about how your family isn't the people you're related to but actually your friends. No. Your friends are your friends and your family is your family. I think there was some good intention in there originally in trying to make people who don't have or like their family not feel bad about that, in opposition to all the messaging about how important family is, but it's gotten to the point where the message seems to be that even if you do have relatives that you spend time with they're not your real family, because actually your friends are. Or worse, your coworkers are.

I really wish employers wouldn't use words like family or team. I'd have better morale if it was ok to say "I'm doing a good job because I want money for my family, these are not my friends, I don't want to be here."

Give me several seasons of them going through poo poo side-by-side, I can buy the characters feeling like a family, like they're forged in fire and have become as close as family. But don't try to sell me on them being family in season 1. Show me. Write it.

Family sure but, idk what term you want to use for 'groups within a department' other than a team, unless you somehow have a department of completely solo employees who never interact with each other That said tiggums thing about 'friends are friends and family is family' comes across to me as 'friends can only ever be a superficial relationship' which, get better friends lmao Killingyouguy! has a new favorite as of 21:37 on Jul 10, 2022 |

When people say non-blood-relations are family you know wtf they mean, don't be a pedant. My wife's dad is family. My best friend is family. My nazi grandpa is not family. Christ watch a Fast and Furious if you need some instruction on basic human relationships.

"Family" has enough emotional weight associated with it that there's a reason that people who have strained (or nonexistent) relationships with blood relatives tend to reserve that term for the people they're actually close to. But this is Tiggum on the usual "everyone but me uses this word wrong" track which I guess is fair enough as a peeve Recently my best friend's (adult) daughter wished me a happy father's day because she doesn't otherwise have a father figure in her life who's worth a drat. That was pretty cool.
