Kinda same

these spaces serve a public good, for neighborhoods, and the unhoused.

This is why I don't get the generalized hate on taxes. If I worked and had to give like 90% away for taxes and was left just with pocket money I would be absolutely on board if that meant that the money went to what you mentioned above. Guaranteed healthcare, good education for kids, an apartment, basic foods. Imagine having everything you need provided to you and just having 200-300€ a month to spend on what you will. Theater, movies, a fancy restaurant, or save up for a small trip. And all the while you know you're safe, and your neighbor is safe, and in the fancy third wave coffee shop you sit next to the garbage man and the finance attorney because both have pretty much equal money to spend. But somehow just the idea of having to pay taxes turns so many people off.

Thank you!

That was a very interesting read. Do you have any examples of queerbaiting or portrayed relationships that are commonly mistaken for queerbaiting in shows? Being a very boring stereotypical heterosexual, I've never paid attention to that, and I admit I haven't heard the term before today.

Where is that from?

I swear my toddler is growing up to be Jim, she just plays standing all day. Hardly ever sits on the floor and the whole table-chair-concept is being ignored. Whenever she's eating it seems like she belongs next to a food truck.

It's probably a dumb question but have you tried leaving them a note?

volvoxvsmarla , 4 months ago to Memes in Can confirm, it does feel good

So true, I always hear Fight Club's narrator say "I wanted to destroy something beautiful" when I cut that new sponges

volvoxvsmarla , 5 months ago to Memes in Can confirm, it does feel good

Same. We actually cut them in half before we use them (no this is not a way to save up $10k in a year) and then quarter them when they turn to crap sponges xD

volvoxvsmarla , 5 months ago to Memes in Can confirm, it does feel good

We use a combination of brushes with wooden heads (I don't like stuff with handles though), structured cotton towels from the drug store, and sponges from Ikea called "Pepprig" which I think work best for most things. They are also plastic but you can wash them easily.

volvoxvsmarla , 5 months ago to Memes in Can confirm, it does feel good

Tbh we wash them and use them for really dirty stuff. Like when you need to remove mold with a chlorine spray or poop from your shoes. Then they get tossed because there's no way I am washing that again.

We're phasing out single use sponges though, but now I don't know what to use for the really dirty stuff.

I also thought about that, might have been a screw bottle. But that bulky part on top looks like champagne to me, but of course I could be wrong

I know this will sound severely alcoholic but for years I carried around a corkscrew just in case. I was kind of traumatized by how I managed to buy a bottle of wine when I was 15 (in Germany wine is legal from age 16) but I had no opener so we tried for hours to push the cork inside with a stick and I did not want to repeat that. It worked but the cork broke and we had very crumbly wine. Don't recommend it.
