  1. Margot Robbie not being nominated is a travesty.
  2. I love Dominion but the extended cut, not the regular one. I've watched it probably a dozen times (streaming, not in the theater).
  3. Interesting. I recall seeing something about a new TV (or streaming) series. NGL, as long as there isn't dinosaur torture porn (looking at YOU Fallen Kingdom) I'll watch it.
  4. I forbid my mom from posting photos of me on her Facebook I'm without my permission. I also know she's proud of me and we've come to an agreement I'll approve a photo of us for her to post on Mother's Day and her birthday. When I was a kid I used to get so mad when I overheard her talking about me. She had no boundaries and didn't respect my life is not for her to discuss with others. I have told her she can share good things like my move and that I got a new job at a high level. But nothing in detail. None of her friends business!
  5. Duck Brand window treatments (shrink wrap for windows) makes a huge difference. It's easiest found online. It takes a little practice but once you get the hang of it, it goes up quickly.
  6. I would like to see Jack and Erin get back together. They're obviously meant for each other and have grown over the years. I would also like to see Danny and Maria get together, because why not. I don't want to see anyone die, no dramatic or surprise pregnancies, don't really care of Jamie and Eddie get pregnant though I would suspect that's in the cards given it's the final season. I think the very last scene will be around the table with Joe, Sean, Jack, and Nicky present. I would like to see this family dinner include Anthony, Jack (because he's back with Erin), Maria (regardless if she is with Danny). I'm a fan of 'life goes on' finales so I don't need anything else. Wrap it up like most episodes and call it a series.
  7. If you change your mind, I'm pretty sure there is a way to register what you took and where it ended up. This also reminds me I need to find my local Little Free Library.
  8. I truly hope this works out for you, and I don't want to sound like a pessimist... But... Be prepared to be let go at some point, there are strong precedents that companies offer a raise and promise of change while quietly making decisions how to complete the responsibilities of the position without that person. They just need time and a token raise keeps the person around a little longer buying them time.
  9. It's like a giant message board with all the topics for all the things. Some pockets are awful, others are great. Maybe you're thinking of 4Chan which is 100% a cesspool of misogyny, racism, and other things the FBI is interested in. I belong to subreddits (forums) for my favorite TV show, one about long expired food stuff found at their parents and grandparents house (I feel so seen!), one for Vegas locals, Am I the Asshole is always a good time, Best of Reddit updates is usually good, too. I belonged to one ahead of the Star Wars Celebration back in 2021 that helped me figure out what I was getting into, and when I was in GA there was a subreddit that led me to a small community Discord I still participate in. Each subreddit has their own rules and moderation policies.
  10. Aliens. My house in GA was 2 miles from where the Braves currently play. There were fireworks after every Friday home game, in addition to a short burst if they scored. I refuse to use Nextdoor but I'd look on my Ring neighborhood (just a hair less racist, probably because you have to have a Ring to use so it's a smaller user-pool) and every week right after the game was over the community was flooded with "did anyone else hear those gunshots?! They just kept going".
  11. A downside to living in Vegas is that the state doesn't participate in any lotteries, including Powerball or Mega Millions, so if I want to participate I'd either have to drive 30 minutes to Stateline (Primm) and stand in a huge line there, or get a friend in another state to pick up a couple tickets for me (and paid via Venmo), or remind my mom to buy a few tickets.
  12. Love Goo Gone and recently discovered the wonders of its spray form version.
  13. I love Simple Human products. 100% worth their hefty price tag. If the Simple Human one is outside your budget I had great luck with a knockoff from Amazon. I also personally used this one from OXO. The Zep spray bottle from Home Depot seems to be pretty indestructible.
  14. I've had great luck with OXO Brand if you want to start with an empty one. This is what I do, too. Soft Soap and the Target brand equivalent in a similar container. Those things are indestructible.
  15. At least we're getting an ending.
  16. Greta Gerwig, the director of Barbie. Thank you! That explains the intense I know her from somewhere.
  17. I think it was there to compliment or call out to a montage scene in Barbie. I love joke swap, and look forward to it every year, but I don't think anyone but Jost and Che could pull it off. Dumb question but who was with Kate when they announced the first song?
  18. I hate "Do They Know it's Christmas Time". The song is highly problematic (Google can help out there) and, in addition to the highlighted problems (via Google), not everyone celebrates Christmas or cares that it's Christmas. As someone who didn't get to celebrate Christmas or Christmas aspects in the house*, as a kid, but was dragged around to look at the lights and forced to participate in the "Christmas play" at school (lookin' at you, 1980s) and got to see all my friends open presents and have pretty lights & trees, I have a pretty poor relationship with the "holiday season". I'm trying to change but this song and it's assumption that everyone cares that it's "Christmas time" rubs me the wrong way. *I grew up Jewish, we did Hanukkah but there was no "Hanukkah Bush" or "Hanukkah lights". My mom was staunch "those are Christmas things". I also wasn't allowed to have Cadbury Creme Eggs or other "Easter Candy" but there are plenty of pictures of me with the Easter Bunny. Therapy (and adult money) helps but I'll never change my mind about this song.
  19. Fun / crazy socks have been a trend for awhile. You can get custom printed socks and there are companies that specialize in printing pet photos on socks..
  20. A Dirty Santa sock exchange sounds fun. There are some expensive novelty socks out there though, you may want to put a price range, or a price cap to not have it too imbalanced.
  21. @kristen111 the best give you can give them, is what they asked for. Nothing. If you feel inclined, how about a handmade gift certificate for child-care w/ a gift card for a night out (I know you said no gift cards but they very clearly said no gifts, so...) Sure they will. There are so many cars that still require keys, and so many cars w/ keys that will be around and drivable in 15-18 years. Key FOBs are not standard on every car (as your posts points out). Nearly every car I've rented between 2017 and now came with a keyed start. You can disable that feature but it's designed to help reduce emissions and be better for the environment.
  22. I moved in over the summer and heard kids next door. The family has 2 and they always have people over. I can't hear them when I am inside unless they're out front riding bikes. I love it. Opera is browser. Their app and website icon looks like this
  23. Duck Duck Go mobile browser (available in your app store) will block intrusive ads.
  24. I didn't say you wouldn't qualify. I said you probably wouldn't qualify for financial assistance. Their individual plans are expensive. Quitting a job without having another lined up requires a lot of planning, or a rock-solid financial support system because the safety nets you qualify for if the company decides to terminate employment don't exist. Don't count on finding a new job in your field right away, either, or finding a retail job, especially right after the holidays. For all those 'help wanted' signs, companies still aren't hiring.
