Writers of Lemmy, what good character qualities/virtues do your main characters have that you don't?
  • ive always like realistic characters. its what i struggle most with in modern tv. i like to see progress being made on a problem/relationship through real conversations and disagreements. i find a lot of kids shows charming for this when characters have to work to solve seemingly simple problems. i tend to get annoyed at shows that have problems caused by people doing the dumbest, pettiest things that no real person would ever actually do (in theory... some people amaze me). e.g. netflix shows that can run 4 seasons on someone having a psychotic revenge scene. like who does that??

  • Is a peanut butter sandwich a balanced meal?
  • most sandwich bread in the us is processed garbage. if you had homemade or another high quality bread then itd be different. i tried daves killer for awhile and even gave that up because it still tastes so sweet.

  • I'm experiencing indecision

    Our (my partner and i) lease is up in a month and we are planning on moving to a town 30 minutes north of us. we're in a small college town surrounded by cornfields currently, and would be moving to a more suburban area. my main reasons for moving are that I've been in this town for about 5 years and honestly its got some of the blandest selection of shops, restaurants, activities, etc. its not totally devoid of cool people and small businesses, but a majority of its commerce is through chains. in the new town, there would be local grocers to shop at, a wider variety of cultural foods, and more... extracurriculars (i like to take dance, art, etc. classes). however, the apartment we have a deposit down for is kinda shit. we cant really afford anything better at this size, though. we'll also lose out on being in a walkable area. also, my partner would have to commute to school ~3x a week for classes and i feel kinda bad abt dragging him away from being able to walk to campus, but something in me feels ready for a change. though as the title says, im facing indecision. thoughts?

    What foods and drinks would you buy more often if money was not an issue?
  • i live in a small town thats got some of the most overpriced and disappointly small portions of chinese food. + in a small town it doesnt taste too good either :/ my friend and i will drive an hour once a month or so to get really good dim sum, ramen, korean... for cheaper

  • The lunch rush is dead as Americans live for the weekend, office workers are pinching lunchtime pennies
  • I think hybrid work is only a small part of the issue. if it was even remotely affordable id just lunch delivery rather than busting my ass cooking in the middle of the day but then i end up spending $20 + tax + tips + fees just to eat some mid food when it just takes a bit of effort to get some amazing homecooked food for cheap. if people do return to the office id bet people would pack their lunch until prices go down.

  • Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?
  • sure but a very small amount compared to what people eat. around 50% of american land is just used to grow crops for cattle. if we opted to reduce that, think of how much forest and natural land we could bring back.

  • When will the floss stop hurting

    I've been flossing usually twice a day, sometimes only once a day, pretty strictly for the past 2 weeks or so. mostly because my grandma bullied me lol. However it still hurts? when does it usually go away?

    Any favorite summer recipes?

    I'm looking for new ways to take advantage of all the local produce for the several months that we can grow our own up here.
