I once pirated a book because I didn’t want to get it from another room.

      I remember when my grandfather died, we were going through his belongings and found a drawer full of electric razors. Why did he have so many?!? Then we noticed every one was full of hair, and concluded that he bought a new one every time it filled up rather than emptying it.

      Then years later, my parents became snowbirds who went to Mexico every winter, and they stayed with this other family who were locals. They got good at Spanish and one day I guess, my dad was talking to the other dad and they burst out laughing. I asked what that was all about, and he said the Mexican dad’s father also had a drawer full of electric razors, and he never understood why?

      But you should always wash clothes before wearing them for the first time???

      (Seriously though, they have all kinds of dirt and chemicals on them)

      Black socks

      they never get dirty

      The longer you wear them

      The blacker they get

      Someday, I’ll probably launder them

      Something keeps telling me don’t do it yet

      Not yet

      Not yet

      Pro tip: If you buy tons of the same type of socks such as 20 pairs of black you can wash and dry them and they pair easily. It’s less effort than going to buy new ones.

        This is exactly what I do. I have like 30 identical pairs of socks. They just get dumped in a pile in my sock drawer, and I grab two off the top of the pile every day.

            I dated a girl who did this. I asked why her socks were always mismatched. She looked at me like it should be obvious, and said “I pull two out of the drawer. If they match, I know I’m going to have a good day.” I said she could just match her socks, and then she’d have a good day every day. But apparently that was missing the point.

        Gosh I’ve been trying to force myself to do that for like 5 years already. I’m just too lazy to spend some time and choose a good fit (instead of just buying random socks every once in a while). What brand and type of socks would you recommend??

          Buy one pack of 5, if good go back and buy 3+ more packs leaving some unopened and throw out old if not find better. Look at what sock you like currently and try finding similar. I like thin/semi thin. I don’t do brands, just feel with the hands.

          Dickies Dri-Tech in whatever length you need. They’re my go-to because I wear safety boots for work. They’re way more padded than typical socks, and they’re extremely durable.

    I don’t wash dishes I use paper plates and forks.

    We can’t get a dishwasher. The pipes to the house are too messed up. The sink was designed for someone way taller than me so I have to lean forward and get soaked on the cabinet that tilts forwards towards me instead of back towards the sink.

    I did the same. I wanted to watch a TV series of which I own the box set but I was too lazy to get the box, put the disc in and go through the menu for every three episodes or so. So I pirated it.

      go through the menu for every three episodes

      So many providers these days STILL don’t get that the more control you take away the less incentive people have to buy their product. Oh I have to see a mandatory FBI piracy warning splash screen and the speed control is locked at 1.5x max? Jeez it’s a shame you can’t compete with the pirated file that has no nag screens and I can blow through at fucking 20x if I want.

    I put clothes on hangers and hung them in the doorway between the kitchen and the rest of the house to take with me when I eventually head in that direction. I left the clothes there for over a week while I had to twist to get around them, and only took them to my room to put away when I did laundry the next week…and ran out of space to hang the clean shirts.

    I once threw away sink full of dirty dishes rather than hand wash them. They had been there for like two weeks and were really nasty. I think that was at the height of my depression.

        That’s why I like stainless steel cookware. If there’s a tough mess stuck to them, I just switch from my usual sponge to the stainless steel scouring pad and wear it back down to the metal.

        Can do similar with cast iron, but it can turn into more work if you need to reseason it.

          As someone who has spent their fair share of time deep-cleaning greasy commercial kitchens, I believe the stainless steel scrubby is one of humankind’s greatest creations.

          Since some months now we have a carbon steel pan and I absolutely love it, because it’s also very thin and adapts quickly to temperature changes

          And also has the advantage to clean it quite roughly

            That quick temperature change sounds like a double edged sword to me, as a thicker base means it can hold its temperature as you add cold/wet food, which might result in steaming food instead of frying/sautéing.

            On that note, temperature control also helps making cleaning easier. If your oil is heated before you add the food, the food will tend to not stick as much (though there’s a bunch of other factors at play, so I still get use out of my scouring pad).

              I usually account for that, by starting to heat up before that

              Maybe a thing of preference :⁠-⁠)
