God what i wouldn’t give to have the sheer stamina and work ethic of my next door neighbor. Every morning, 8am, the hammers and drills come out. he’s putting up shelves. he’s feeding cables through walls 6 inches from my pillow. He’s putting together furniture. He’s making smoothies. He’s 74 years old. Does it piss me off? of course. But i have to admit that he is clearly also the superior being. I need The Substance but to turn me (anemic 20-something with the constitution of a consumptive Victorian child) into this absolute beast of a man

Met this same neighbor today as he was effortlessly hauling his bike up 4 flights of stairs having just finished a 20 mile bike ride and i (masked and bedraggled) explained that I’m on the tail end of a cold but venturing out as I’ve run out of food, and he was like “Aww no!! 🥺🥺 If you ever need me to pop down to the shops and do some shopping for you just let me know!!” like Steven, that is SO kind, truly, but I have to draw the line at you doing Meals on Wheels for me right now. what i actually need is for you to come with me on a Back To The Future style adventure and somehow make you my biological grandpa because my current genes are simply not pulling their weight. can you leave me your zest for life in your will, Steven. Steven please

i’m fucking choking

This is just a petty post but:

Imagine being so cruel to someone who has admitted their literal poverty to you just to collect a debt that is no longer legally enforceable. Even when they flat out told you they were being evicted.

Imagine pretending to be a debt collector to this person for a debt that was created under duress and also wasn’t made with a contract. (Not that they wanted to act professionally as a debt collector.)

Imagine doing all this and then sending them harassing messages via PayPal (which is a place that WILL ban you for doing so.)

Imagine sending harassing messages to someone about how they should “do more” because you do more and you’re disabled! Ignoring that they are also disabled and have a profoundly different set of medical circumstances and abilities.

Imagine being that person.

People NOT of east Asian/Vietnamese heritage and not from east Asia or Vietnam: at what age did you learn to use chopsticks, and where did you grow up?

<18, North or South America

18 or older, North or South America

<18, Europe

18 or older, Europe

<18 Australia/NZ/South Pacific

18 or older Australia/NZ/South Pacific

<18, other region (but not East Asia or Vietnam)

18 or older, other region (but not East Asia or Vietnam)

I’m of east Asian or Vietnamese heritage or grew up in east Asia or Vietnam

(By East Asia or Vietnam, I really mean commonly chopsticks using cultures, you know what I mean. So if you are from East Asia or Vietnam, but not a chopsticks using culture, or you are not from East Asia or Vietnam, but are from a commonly chopsticks using culture, please vote accordingly.)

do you care if your socks match

yes. i must keep my socks in pairs. it looks better.

all my socks are identical. i have solved the odd sock problem at the root.

i try to match if i can but its not a huge deal to me.

i dont care. why would anyone care. socks are socks.

i actively choose to wear odd socks as a fashion statement.

imho one of the kindest things you can do for yourself is to give up the need/desire to have “Smart” figure into your identity

incognitopolls:

For this poll, assume the following:

1. You are home and not busy.
2. You are at your baseline energy level, i.e. it’s a normal day and you’re not extra tired or stressed from any atypical prior events.
3. The person in question is a good friend or close family member whose company you enjoy.
4. No plans have been made with this person.

If a friend or family member showed up at your door unannounced, asking to hang out/do something together, would you be happy about it?

Yes!

I’d feel conflicted

No, I would not like this

I’m not sure/other

This isn’t about a specific scenario, more of a general outlook difference. Anon’s partner sometimes goes to certain friends’ houses unannounced, and while anon’s partner knows their friends well enough to know that this is acceptable, anon is always baffled by this because anon would not appreciate an unannounced visit no matter how much they like the person.
