  • I wish I was better at conflict, especially with my partner. It gnaws at me constantly if unresolved, gives me horrible anxiety (I’m normally not an anxious person) to the point where I can’t eat or sleep. So, I tend to hold back from conflicts altogether. Not a useful solution. I wish I had better advice to offer but in place of that, please accept my commiseration. Hopefully some time to reflect and cool down will prove useful and perhaps your partner will have fresh ideas for resolution when you readdress it.




  • Echoing the others, this is totally fixable. I recommend buying a silicone gasket rather than the standard rubber ones they come with. My rubber gasket was obliterated within 9 months of daily use, but then I bought a pack of 3 silicone gaskets on Amazon maybe four years ago and the first one is still basically pristine.

    Seriously, I’m pretty disappointed. Just scrolled past a meme about Lizzo (har har she’s fat) and then I find this (har har short-haired bitches be like)… I’ve been finding this community to be overall pretty positive so it bums me out to see that shit infecting this space too.

    There’s currently a Douggles (that’s what we call them at my house) on a branch screaming his high-pitched incessant barking scream - this will probably go on for several more minutes. They’re lucky they’re so cute because they can be god-damned annoying. But then they meet me at the feeder and take a peanut from my hand and all is forgiven.



  • I’m looking forward to Season 2. Season 1 wasn’t the most incredible story I’ve ever seen, but I found it compelling, visually very appealing, and the story, performances and characters were strong enough that I’m excited to see how things play out. I’ve not read the books, though.

    I think there’s so much mediocre TV out there, it often seems like fantasy/scifi is held to a weird standard where it has to be groundbreakingly innovative and earthshatteringly well-done to get people on board. I’d much rather watch the next season of Wheel of Time than NCIS: Duluth or whatever else is getting pumped out by the police procedural-industrial complex (and believe me, I watch plenty of schlock crime dramas too).
