Fishin' in the stream of consciousness (all-purpose, no topic chat thread)

This is such a cool idea. When I was younger, I was inspired by a similar idea due to stories like "That Only a Mother" and "It's a GOOD Life." I conceptualized it as an organization who ran interventions/extracted kids from their terrified families/communities and did therapy on everyone concerned. (Someday I might actually write it out.)

 

Anyway shoutout to One Friend In Particular bc the one thing in the infinite matryoshka of absurdity that is this setting that finally broke her... was the existence of Coco Bandicoot's pet tiger cub for some reason. Granted, every single detail about this series is objectively batshit and only minutely less so in context, but like. "The female lead has enough ambient Disney Princess vibes that we can treat a bengal tiger cub as an XXL house cat when it's convenient" is actually pretty reasonable by the standards of this genre. It's gotta be one of the least unhinged things I've brought up in the last 2 weeks wHY IS THAT WHAT GOT YOU

 

Being contact with middle sister has been very strange. It's like meeting someone for first time.

 

At my parents house waiting to go on a trip, watching Rizzoli and Isles.
...wow, at least I remember Law & Order being decently written. This show is like a collection of cliches compiled crudely together into a mismatched jigsaw.
It's like it's written by mirror-universe tumblr, and not the good writers. The Copaganda version of All or Nothing.

BILL O'REILLY IS THERE??? ON THE SHOW? BEING KINDA RACIST?

 

Does anyone else pretend to be a small woodland creature hiding in its den to sleep at night or am I just a weirdo

Like, I set up a fan on my bed and drape a blanket over it slightly and at an angle so it inflates the area, and scootch in to the "back" of my "cave/den/tree roots" and pretend im sleeping through a storm in a forest. It's the only thing that consistently gets me sleep at night.

 

Sometimes I wish Tumblr bots could know how funny they are.

 

Gladiator Big Naturals...

(on the topic, a moment of silence for Ginger-Anomaly, which was objectively the greatest name a pornbot could have. so sorry I had to block you)

 

Consider: pieces of raw onion is better than chips for dipping.

 

Is...is there such thing as a quiet/mute vaccum? Because honestly the reason I don't do it more often is the horrendous noise which makes me feel like dying is the better option.

Any recs would be deeply appreciated by both me and my cats

 

I don't know as there are any that would be called really 'quiet', they work by blowing air around
But there are some that are more quiet than others. In the less than 70 decibels range.

10 Quietest Vacuum Cleaners in 2020: Tested Reviews! (soundproofadvice.com)
This doesn't seem the most in-depth, perhaps, but the seem committed to quiet as a general principle.

 

would using earplugs be an option? they've got some pretty high decibel rated ones that should mute the sound considerably. over ear coverage too, like they use at gun ranges.

 

I use earplugs but it still penetrates. And also not being able to hear makes me super uneasy ://

Sorry!

 

Oooh thankyou I'll give them a look asap <3

 

Weird question, is it a volume problem or something tonal? I've been realizing lately that the reason I don't mind motorcycles but can't stand blenders or instapots is because of things like pitch and quality instead of the actual volume of it itself. Volume of course is still a bit of a factor considering "bad noise but more" is a thing, but I can do vacuums with more of a low hum in its VRRRRRR than a high pitched BREEEEEE, if that tracks?

 

What's y'all's top 3 favorite threads on the forum, off the top of your head? In no particular order mine are:

• Food fight: mayo discourse
• Sorry I don't make the rules: ridiculous/lighthearted headcanons
• Naruto nostalgia

 

Was watching a movie while doing the dishes and looked at the screen, and did a double take because Sungwon Cho is in it.

 

! What movie?

Been dealing with some heavy stuff with family that I can't really do anything about, so most of the time I'm hiding my head in the sand. :/

On the upside I have two big art projects in progress plus my annual Poetry Month marathon. It's nice to have cool-looking creative sand to hide in if I've got to hide in sand!
