start a victory garden and ration your IRRATIONALLY ANGRY feelings, part 3

I am still seeing web ads every day for pet memorial stones in different sizes and designs.

You need to google stuff you won't mind seeing in your feed.

... or else use DuckDuckGo as your search tool.

recipes that want you to tear up chicken whe it's still hot. like who can humanly achieve this even "just using two forks"

I use the forks to first basically rip it up and let a bunch of the heat escape before really going in for the shred.

yes that is the way. But recipe should allow for cooling in the broth.

yeah but it still sucks

> fifty mugs to wash by the end of the day

At work I had one mug, washing it up as I went. At home I have 4 and, yes, all dirty all the time. Maybe the first way is better.

People who leave used teabags anywhere other than the bin though, what is the point?

You can also tear up chicken while wearing rubber gloves (not to rain on anyone's IA parade)

Rubber gloves make me irrationally angry. Because how can you take off the second glove without touching whatever it is on the glove you were wearing your glove to protect your hand from?

peel from the top, turn inside out as you go and then not touch the fingers. Buy the type you get for medical use?

Like latex gloves? They don't seem thick enough for bathroom work.

What kinda dookie-waterfall nightmare do you have going on in there?

Just scrubbing toilets is all. Nothing irrational.

maybe I am a horrible savage but I have never used gloves when scrubbing toilets although I definitely washed the hell out of my hands afterward

Yeah, I use a toilet brush though. Maybe it would wear gloves if using a sponge or rag or something?

I'm cool with using a brush (though apparently you're supposed to throw them out occasionally? Makes sense to me). But wiping down the seat and stuff, with a rag or sponge, I'd prefer gloves. I'm not squeamish, but iIf it (the toilet) needs to be cleaned, I don't want to touch it. And I don't even have any other boys in the house, just my wife and two girls. Parents I know with one or two boys, they might as well not even have a toilet, tell their kids to piss in the corner and be done with it, because that's essentially what they're getting anyway. Man, I know people with boys and cats who do a poor job cleaning up after either and clearly can't smell it anymore themselves. Visiting is like a trip to a zoo, that mix of urine, peanuts and general musk. Yuck. I want to wear gloves up to my shoulder.

Yeah, sometimes toilet brushes just gotta go. Thanks for reminding me.

I dunno, I usually just spray copious amounts of bleach on the seat and let it sit for a minute before I wipe it up, then wash hands thoroughly afterward.

I just dip my hands in bleach and then wipe them off on the toilet.

lol

can't believe you guys figured out my patented methof

I misread that first as meatloaf and then meth, both of which would have been funny responses.

Methloaf

Methloaf of Modern Love.

I saw the typo and decided to keep it

I used to clean school toilets for a living. I had to use gloves then, but I don't bother with my own place. Just make sure you wash your hands thoroughly.

If I chop serranos, wash my hands 20 times, and then try to insert a contact lens, my eye burns like crazy. So I guess I regularly put poop in my eye.

and soap is a scam

I just make sure to always bully mop-haired kids so when I give them swirlies they do a bit of scrub-a-dub

I think the spiciness of peppers is, like oil, not as soluble with normal hand soap. Make sure to use dish soap or something else meant to cut oil to clean after slicing peppers

High Maintenance had another means of dealing with that. But it relies on having a non squeamish acquaintance.

How is autocorrect so mind-blowingly stupid?

Guys you can wash or use hand sanitizer on rubber gloves. Just saying.

I just burn down the toilet and move house. Saves on bleach, soap, gloves, etc

you didn't happen to take a restroom cleaning job in north carolina, did you?

adobe acrobat launches with zoom defaulted to 125%

why

because adobe are diiiiiiiiicks

disabling adobe updates is so choice

people who try to nail down your support to help them do something (ie moving) without giving you a date, then when they finally get around to confirming the date at the last minute, get upset that it isn't convenient for you.

like are you supposed to give someone a blank check for an entire month?

i always love when it's me moving tho cos I've thrown so much shit away over the years that the big stuff takes an hour and I usually just start the new tenancy the same month my lease is up so I can take the month to move less big stuff gradually instead of having to do it all in a day.

^^^ lifehack right there. That's what I did the last time I moved and it was almost relaxing compared to the nightmares I put myself through as a young person.

Yea it's more expensive but soooo much less stress.

ppl on twitter who can't:
A) manage the tweet chain mechanism (you don't have to @ yrself, just reply to yrself)
B) manage the dot (it's just a on-character substitute for text b4 the @)
C) prefer incomprehensible shortforms of words to editing down the tweet intelligibly

on-character s/b one-character X[

A) manage the tweet chain mechanism (you don't have to @ yrself, just reply to yrself)

Yes I don't link my tweets. Like I started doing this but then sometimes right in the middle of a twitter 'essay' I am going through it fails to link properly. Think I am going too fast for twitter. So my method is to do a tweet followed by 1/, 2/ etc.

There is a person I follow on twitter who is pretty obsessed with this - its very funny, eg "I see John McDonnell doesn't link his tweets"

How can you reply to yourself without @-ing yourself?

ok when you reply to yr self it inserts the @-yrself -- but if you then delete it the tweets are still linked and you have have 10 whole characters to play with (i have 11)

I will try next time #yourWorkIsDone

Why would you want text before the @? I mean as a goal in itself, such that you'd use a dot instead?

So it appears to everyone who follow you not just ppl who follow both u and the person you're @ing

the best thing to do when on Twitter is to click "deactivate account" and then go back to whatever you were doing prior
