A kid once asked to pet my dog and I said no. Kid then proceeded to tell me my dog looked evil. I was enraged. She is a dog, she can't be evil, and she's absolutely terrified of strangers but especially kids.

Usually when I have to deny people petting this dog, I'll offer to let them pet the other dog who's normal, but fuck that kid, you don't get to pet any dog today.

I told my husband he must now be this dramatic when we're out of onions or what is he even doing with his life?

Many people simply don't understand the idea of not wanting one. I moved to a more conservative area shortly before I got married, and after I got married I got all the usual questions about kids to which I replied “lol no”. Then I was asked why I even got married. Bro, if I wanted kids, I'd have them and I don't need to get married to do it.

Imo anyone who doesn't feel free in a marriage is doing it wrong. Compromise is for things like getting orange juice with some pulp because one likes lots and the other likes none, not compromising who you fundamentally are as a person.

Don't marry someone who doesn't appreciate the quirks that make you you.

He carries all his books in the bags under his eyes.

I love black tea, particularly Earl Grey. I find it very comforting, like a warm hug. Starting in fall I drink several cups a day. During the summer I make iced tea.

Green tea shouldn't really be strong, you're probably steeping it too long. I drink green tea if I'm after something light (or if I'm out of milk, which I need for black tea).

Only if I have a specific question, like is this tent better than that tent. But I don't log in and I haven't since Boost stopped working.

I do miss it sometimes, but time spent on my phone has gone way down and that can only be an improvement.

I've been WFH full time since early covid, so WFH for sure. My commute wasn't even bad, my office is less than 10 minutes away.

I'm not a social person so there is no upside to going into the office for me. Everything to do with my job must be communicated by email so it's documented, so it's just a waste of time if someone wants to chat in person or on the phone about it.

Plus I don't have to wear pants.

The one downside is my dogs seem to have developed separation anxiety since I'm around all the time.

Just because someone is unsuccessful in killing you doesn't mean it's okay that they continue to try though.

I used to use Sync for the other site, but despite all the hype for Sync for lemmy I don't feel the need to try it when Connect meets all my needs.

I've seen people using other apps wishing that their app had this feature or that feature. Well Connect already has that built in! Spread the good word, lemmings!

Wtf? That is super gross. I'm Canadian and I don't know anyone who would do it at the dinner table. I've seen my boss do it at his desk but he turns to face the corner next to his desk first.

Ime most people go to the washroom to do it, or at least make sure they're not near anyone else.

This is why I don't like watching anything with my friends. My husband and I like to pause the movie/show every so often and theorise. When we talk it through we can usually figure it out, and that's obviously not fun for anyone else.
