I'm an elder millennial and I have had absolutely no problem buying goldfish into adulthood. With this change, i'll inevitably be calling them Chilly SeeBas, so idk how much more adult they're going for in my demographic

Pearl by Josh Malerman (Bird Box).

It's about a pig on a small farm that can seep into your mind and make you do and see terrible things. I picked it up after reading Bird Box and a few other books of his, which I enjoyed. I expected to give up on it based on the silly 80s horror movie premise, but the book is truly demented and creepy and I felt existentially weird after reading it

I would like to congratulate everyone posting on their wonderful experiences!

This last week, I had been feeling a little down about myself, but an absolute stranger stopped me to tell me I was beautiful. An old friend of mine is going to come stay with me to start a new life and I could not be more excited and honored to be a part of it. I was worried that my mother might have been unwell, but she received a clean bill of health. Also, I ordered and received an awesome t shirt for The Shining.

With some violent mustard, this could be something to consider.

With some dogs, anyone in the room is smelling their feet.

That series is genuinely creepy, and I even screamed out loud once! My girlfriend won't rewatch with me but I probably put that series and it's sister show Haunting of Bly Manor on once a year 👻💨

I'm so sorry, sir! All I found in the women's cabinet was blatant misogyny, all of the casual emergency/accidental misogynies are a week late because I am ON MY PERIOD!!

What, you don't like cold soured apple curd tart cream? It has nutmeg in it!

 

Hello! I really, really love bok choy, but every time I prepare it it turns a little sour. My intent is to eat it as part of a simple vegetable stir fry.

I love blanching when it comes to green beans/peas, steaming when it comes to Broc/cauli, and stir fried for all else..

What is your favorite way to prepare bok choy to achieve the best crunchy-and-tender texture?

 

I swear, ~~every time~~ most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I'd like to try exposing them before responding and interacting..

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I've started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they're burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I've noticed it!
