  • I’ll copy my response to the other person who was also confused by the reference:

    In America, there’s a very popular car windshield decal sticker that people put on that says “Salt Life.” It specifically just means someone visited a popular beach vacation spot called Myrtle Beach, SC. The people who put it on tend to being almost exclusively sporty douchebags and suburban moms.

    That’s about it.

    Edit: changed NC to SC





  • I agree, it shouldn’t feel like that. As someone who is bi and queer though, on top of all the normal trials and tribulations of dating there’s also a long list of people who don’t think I have the right to exist. I’d rather find out they’re a hate filled asshole as soon as possible so I can move on with my life. At this stage I won’t meet someone face to face unless we’ve chatted extensively online already. Even though I’m dooming hard I do still hope you find someone 😊









  • I’ve tried Google’s suggestion of water/vinegar and a bit of dish soap in a bottle, but they don’t seem to go for it at all.

    Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I always thought this method was only geared for fruit flies, not houseflys.

    Flypaper strips can be effective depending on the severity and location of the issue and are fairly cheap. It won’t be 100% effective, but it might help. Just be very careful about where you place it if you have any pets or children.

    I haven’t had a chance to listen to the new album, but it’s a bit sad to hear it went in a poppier direction.

    Honestly though, Worlds is a masterpiece that was created as pushback against the EDM trends of the time when it was released. It’s not necessarily unfair comparison, but it is a recipe for disappointment if that’s what you’re going to use as your baseline for all new music.

    This excerpt from the linked Wikipedia article for the name abstractly summarizes it nicely.

    It reached the rank of the sixth most popular name for girls in the United States in 1912 and maintained that popularity through 1920, but then its popularity dropped quickly afterward.[2]

    The name Mildred was very common about a hundred years ago, but never really at any other point since. If you see the name Mildred without seeing the person in question your first thoughts will be that they are extremely old. That’s really about it.
