  • My partner and I are like this. We’ve been together for 14 years and are legit best friends.

    I have a feeling too many people paired off right away and decided their first serious relationship was the one, and never actually found an equal. Maybe they married more out of fear of being alone rather than actual desire, or they just can’t tell the difference between sexual novelty and love.

    Even a lot of my married friends start identifying more with boomer humor than romance after 2 or 3 years. Way too many communication issue, or ideas of traditional roles or how things ‘should be’ leading to resentment or exasperation.

    Court long and marry late. And don’t hide your real self when dating.





  • That’s a caveat I inform people of beforehand. I am really into movies, but I have very discriminate taste, so I don’t watch very often because movies are generally dogshit. All my friends know, I will watch anything with them, but I’m going to talk mad shit the entire time. This is a really fun group activity in most cases, and often helps less informed people see through the bullshit that is modern media, but sometimes there’s someone who doesn’t get it, or needs to hyperfocus on the screen.

    That signifies to me:

    1. This person doesn’t understand the point of hanging out in a group

    2. This person falls for blatant marketing

    3. We will probably not be good friends







  • Not wanting unnecessary “features“ that are just thinly veiled spyware that overcomplicate every aspect of driving is not a boomer opinion. Wanting buttons you can feel without looking for instead of a giant screen that has automatic updates and needs to have access to your cellphone for basic functionality is not a boomer opinion.

    Knowing that tacking voice activation onto every ‘smart’ device, including vehicles, is just an excuse for companies to record everything you say for their shitty marketing isn’t a boomer opinion.

    In my experience doing tech work, boomers love that shit and fall for all of it, and it all fucks up in some way much more quickly than should be allowed.


  • If we want to get conservatives on board with environmental protections, we should just start a conspiracy that the perceived rise in trans people, gays, and autistics is due to plastic ester groups in the environment. Then tell them that these groups are represented in the media so much now because the petrolium companies don’t want us to see it as a problem when the science breaks.

    Brb, gotta go convince some trumpers single use plastic is making their kids gay.


  • Semi pro chiming in here: the infographic took an idea and ran the wrong way with it. Women are more sensitive to color, but it has to do with the context. They pick up more subtle colors without direct comparison. Its not that men can’t see the difference between lavender and piriwinkle when they’re next to each other, they’re just more likely to think their the same color if viewed sepparately.

    It’s also worth noting that around age 35, both sexes lenses have yellowed enough that there’s no notable difference.





  • Where im at, if I didn’t mow until June my lawn would be three feet tall and i’d have several tickets. Still, I don’t mow until may, and then just the front for another few weeks.

    You want biodiversity? Don’t weed, don’t spread any pesticides or growth chemicals, and don’t let the natural grass go so long it chokes out the other plants. And the real key, is don’t do any of those things for years. From the street, my yard looks like a yard. It’s a different color than the neighbors, but it’s still green. Up close, it’s a salad. More violets, Moss, clover, flowers, wild lettuce, and a hundred things I can’t identify than grass. Its full of bees, caterpillars, beetles, butterflies, and stick bugs.

    I got my neighbor on board, and we’re single handedly keeping fireflies alive in the city. I started seeing bugs I haven’t seen since I was a kid.

    As an added bonus, since it’s a smaller proportion grass, I don’t have to mow half as often to keep it looking ‘nice’.

    I’m not an ecologist, but I feel like it’s a solid step in the right direction.
