Did I miss something? There are folks who use the flimsy plastic shopping bags for the kitchen can!?

Even with a plastic shopping bag ban, you still may purchase trash bags. …

While some folks can go the extra mile and manage their kitchen trash in other, non plastic ways, you certainly don’t have to.

I really, really enjoy, not seeing plastic shopping bags floating around on our streets. It’s been years of the ban, and you don’t see it on the streets like you use to. I’m really happy with the plastic bag ban in my state.

Two big changes for my home with the ban, learning to remember your bags for the grocer, and finding alternatives for the bathroom trash. Even got a square trash bin for my husband’s office that fits paper bags, but the kitchen trash is a different story.

It’s okay to take smaller steps towards a less plastic intensive home.

You say this is gross, but, the few rich houses I been in, these rich houses often don’t have bags in their bins. They are emptied frequently enough. It boggled me when I noticed it in more than one house.

We have no plastic bags where I am, I went through the loss of the bathroom trash can bag. I tried paper bags, obviously no go, they are too big. That’s when I remembered, snd just went bagless. I clean my bathroom well enough, it’s fine really. I empty it 1-2 a week. If it looks gross rinse it out. That’s what their maids do.

Are you in the states? I am, and once I started reading labels, I couldn’t believe how much sugar was in everything. From bread to jar sauce, peanut butter, fuckin, soup. Like, it’s incredible where you find sugar.

I’m fat from other stuff,mostly inactivity, but far from diabetic, and it’s because I’ve been avoiding the hidden sugars in processed and ultra processed foods for over a decade. Read the labels, get grossed out, avoid. If I’m having sugar, it’s my choice, not because they sneak 5g of sugar in a half cup of jar sauce, or 6g in a slice of bread. Know what’s sweet? Red bell peppers. Avoid sugar a week, and then have a red bell pepper. You’re taste buds will explode with its sweetness.

A number of years ago, I was about 28 years old. My neighbor was my coworker, about 25, and we were friends.

One day he was having a small get together and invited me over. About 8 people, all 21-26 years of age. They were doing dabs. I did a couple, and wanted to do something fun, a game or something. Everyone at that “party” had done so many dabs they were couch zombies, falling asleep. I left from boredom.

It was so weird to me, and sad. I hope you’re feeling better these days with your relationship to dabbing.

I joined a crafts group with my therapist solely for practicing socialization. It helps a lot more than I thought it would. I’m no artist, but it doesn’t matter for this.

I’m probably not the person to answer this, my tech skills are low these days. Doxxing is when a person finds and releases someone’s real address/personal information to the public, usually for purposes of harassment, causing a shift from online to real world interaction.

DDos attacks, that’s just stealing/taking control of a website’s domain no?

I dropped sims 4 too. If you like to build, I’ve found recently House Flipper 2 is everything I ever wanted in a building game. Not a life sim, but still pretty cool

What!?

If I can’t get to the store by no later than 11am on a weekday, I don’t go.

Love the quiet hours. Peak hours are brutal and no one looks happy to be there either

I don’t keep an account at all for YouTube, history off, no app, so I have to use YouTube through Firefox on my phone. I have to seek out what I am looking for. Absolutely love how impossible it is to get on with the mindless scroll this way. I’m so over algorithms force feeding bullshit.

Hibiscus tea is amazing! Agua de Jamaica

Very good on a summer day with strong flavors

“This delicious and refreshing hibiscus tea is a staple Mexican agua fresca (it’s right up there with horchata and agua de tamarindo), loved for its tart, slightly sweet flavor and stunning color.”

Ginger beer is tits. It’s expensive around here, so sometimes I’ll make a fresh ginger syrup (which stays good in the fridge forever) and add a few tablespoons to seltzer water. It’s basically the same thing and very refreshing!

Oh this process reminds me there is also sun tea!

Along the same lines, I think, I don’t know what Spindrift is, but when my hubs went sober, he started drinking 100% grapefruit juice with Seltzer (usually grapefruit flavored seltzer) on ice. He says it tastes just like IPA with it’s bitter notes. Probably a 1:2 ratio of juice:seltzer

So if you can’t get Spindrift, you can still make something similar!

I went with my son to his friends house a few years ago, about 9. Me and his mom were hanging out while the kids gamed. Her son played roblox. I never liked the game, and know there are thousands of other games to play that aren’t so predatory, so my kid was never introduced to it. Anyway, his friend was playing so I let my son play too for this day.

After a time, her son asked for $10 for Roblox. Mom said not today and the child had a full meltdown. It hurt my ears he was screeching so loud. My son just froze and stared at his friend. It looked similar to a panic attack crossed with a toddler temper tantrum. Once he calmed down, she let him back on the game, but we went home.

Certain games turn smaller children into addicts. Roblox is definitely one of those games, it seems.

I’ve been doing this with 1670 (Polish). Though, I’m not serious about learning, just dabbling in learning about the language. It’s surprisingly a very helpful tool!
