Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

[ihonestlydontknowwhattocallthis]

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

[systlin]

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

[systlin]

Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.

He said the exact same thing, which I did not know before that, so spreading this knowledge.

It is nearly impossible to heal without forgiving yourself for 'wasting time'. The times you grieved in your pain are not wasted, you were simply doing everything you can to survive. Sometimes it can take a long time before you start making progressing to getting better but that doesn't mean your time now is wasted. The more you keep trying, the more peace you allow yourself, the easier it'll become to keep getting up and trying again. Recovery is painful, but that's simply because you will end up stronger than anyone could ever imagine when you go through it.

Egg producers will pay $3.3M and donate 53 million eggs to settle price-fixing claims

The U.S. Justice Department and 17 states have reached settlement agreements with three major egg producers over allegations of that the com

Thank goodness that justice is being served, and the companies that stole from every American family to the tune of tens or hundreds of dollars are being forced to pay less than one cent per person they affected!

shoutout to the words "overmorrow" and "ereyesterday". english losing these words was stupid. "the day after tomorrow" "the day before yesterday" clunky-ass constructions. revolting. i'm bringing overmorrow and ereyesterday back in my idiolect and there is nothing you can do about it

(guy who's not getting anything done voice) I need to learn every skill and all information

[aleshakills]

At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.

You must unlearn this.

You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.

If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.

“I wish I was more powerful, like you guys. Even casting fireball takes it right out of me some days.”

“Hey, none of that. You're a valued member of the team, no matter what your power level.”

“I just don't understand how you can tear open that portal to the fire dimension so easily.”

“… fire dimension?”

“Yeah. Where the fire lives. Before you summon it. For fireballs.”

“Dude. We've been creating explosions by igniting flammable gases in the air. What the fuck have you been doing?”

[jantesika]

this is like the opposite of that "wizard vs artificer" post. the one that goes, like, "oh, you've just been summoning from the plane of water! I thought you had to combine hydrogen and oxygen, that's so much easier".

and I like that. because different methods will work for different people. sometimes you find it easier to start up physics and sometimes you find it easier to tear open the layers of reality.

Wish there was a better social shorthand for “I’m sure they’re a lovely person in their own way but we are so baseline incompatible that being around them longer than five minutes makes me feel like exploding into smithereens.”

[whatbigotspost]

Maturing and building truly healthy relationships MUST include what OP is speaking to here. It’s unrealistic to like all people and be liked by all people. Some people are “good” but they’ll still bug the shit out of you. Some people’s communication styles aren’t “wrong” but they may trigger tf out of someone else by no fault of their own. Some people who are annoying to many may be the life of the party to a few.

Abandon all or nothing thinking. Resist false dichotomies and honor the VERY REAL AND COMPLEX space between “I like them” and “they’re my enemy and/or an actual bad person.”

Expect and accept when people just don’t mesh well. Set your own boundaries AND also support and reinforce your friends’ rights to not mesh well with your other friends when this occurs. This doesn’t have to be mean, toxic, or “drama.” You can just create social spaces with different friends at different times. And when it comes to work, you can learn to work well with all measures of annoying (but well intentioned) people, I promise 😅

I wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go “oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!” and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say “it’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced case” and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it can’t infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying “well done, you’ve been so brave, I’m so glad you’re ok. I love you.”
