Wow, how did Google find out something they gave to Google? I’m perplexed!

It’s a good wake up call though for anyone that thought that anything you give them is private

You want linen, but it’ll still be pricey. Might be able to find something second hand? Linen is capable of truly remarkable evaporative cooling and is amazing for getting rid of moisture and sweat

Okay yeah, that would be my guess as to what that is then. Honestly, not sure why it goes away for you, as my elastane/spandex blend clothes have just been relegated to the “house clothes” category now. I could be wrong but it looks just like it from what I can see.

Polyester does hold on to scents like crazy in my experience. If it’s not washing out try some isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle and giving it a spritz. Different textiles all have different properties, but I almost always recommend natural fibers for most purposes.

Does the shirt’s fabric content tag mention spandex or elastane or any other stretch material in it? If it’s not 100% polyester and it’s any percentage of stretch fabric, I would say that is the elastic material breaking down and degrading. It can degrade from age, hard wear, washing in vinegar or harsh detergents, or putting it in the dryer at high heat. It’s also completely unnecessary in knit fabrics and I’ll give you three guesses why fast fashion brands like to throw it in everything they make (but I think you’ll only need one).

I keep coming back to it and catching more references and recurring characters. It’s very rewatchable!

I think as far as shows that I love and come back to, and that I keep thinking of and want to own on physical media:

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
She-Ra: Princesses of Power
The Good Place
The Addams Family (the black and white one)
Parks & Recreation
Star Trek TNG, Lower Decks, and Deep Space 9

Krita, definitely, though it’s still not as complete in capability it’s a much better analogue

Strawberries are fantastic. I planted some last year and was really bummed that I didn’t get to eat a single one. Then this summer, we had wild strawberries ALL over thanks to the greedy critters pooping seeds all over. This year I finally got a handful of delicious, perfectly ripe berries and the critters ate the wild ones. Perennial, self-propagating, and delicious. What else could you want?

Clean pillowcases and a face wash with benzoyl peroxide would be my suggestion.

Benzoyl peroxide works great at clearing out acne but will bleach yout towels so just keep that in mind

Watch how real progressive candidates and actual normal human beings will get torn apart by the political machine. There is a huge industry in keeping the status quo and lots of money to be made ensuring progressive candidates don’t get momentum. They weren’t able to stop Mamdani, but billionaires can stamp out a lot of fires with hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into “centrist” politics.

The pizza cutter is genuinely awesome! So easy to clean and has no problems with tough crusts. I’d pay $30-40 to buy another one easily if anything happened to mine. Cutco is charging $70 on their website though which just seems delusional.

As someone who inherited a set, so came by them for free, I think they are indeed quite nice and all look like new. The handles take some getting used to but yeah, they’re fine. They’re good knives if you just get them second hand.

This has “they aren’t bi, they’re just going through a phase” energy

There are plenty of asexuals who aren’t sex repulsed, the two are not the same thing. Yes, asexuals can enjoy sex, and doing so doesn’t mean they aren’t asexual.

The way our urban design influences society and community, and how the loss of third spaces and the dominance of cars in Western society has led to the loneliness epidemic and influence bubbles. I would talk about the movement to reclaim main street and encourage “traditional development”, and how that leads to the micro-encounters that help people feel like they belong somewhere. How parks, plazas and pedestrian areas create third places where people can casually encounter diverse individuals and create friends and community connections. Also with a hearty side about public transportation and how efficient it is, and what a better neighbor a tram rail is than a road of similar passenger load. This speech is pretty much 30 seconds away from coming out of me during any conversation anyway and it’s a conscious effort to stop myself. Would be nice to let it out.

Nope, corsets were not anywhere near the hazard people like to characterize them as. They were essentially a combined shapewear and bra, and most women achieved those exaggerated silhouettes with padding, not tightening things. The materials corsets were made of back then (whale balleen, paper, reeds, ribbons, cording and sometimes a wooden busk) weren’t puncturing anyone’s lungs. It was just a popular past time of men in the day to ridicule and belittle women for their fashion choices, a time honored tradition that continues to this day.

Do you honestly just absorb everything you read on the internet with no regard to who said it or where it came from? Do I really need to explain to you why it matters who is saying it and why?

Expecting better evidence when the motives are highly suspect is hardly some imposition. This accusation is coming at an extremely politically convenient time from a source that is extremely pro-Israel (Politico). Their parent company has already profited directly from the genocide in Gaza and Platner has taken a strong stance against it. So yes I will be skeptical to say the least.

Considering this whole story came from a source who is literally making a profit off of the settler colonialism in Israel, I wouldn’t put anything past them

I think Platner has 48 hours to research to find if AIPAC or outside groups (not including Cheyenne Hunt & Reckoning Action, Racicot reached out to them supposedly) have unduly influenced the details or timing of this

Politico, the website that published the story originally, is owned by unapologetic pro-Israel billionaires
