How many of us have graduated to using a bidet? If there's any generation that can adapt, and use one, it's us.

So if you have one, can you ever go back to not having one?

if you don't have one, what's stopping you?

Who's tried one and said "It's not for me because..."

I'm curious where our age group has fallen in the bidet discussion.

If the house is burning down you better just run to the nearest fire station and yell "fire" because mom is having a conversation with aunt Karen right now

here's a question for you. I was born in 1984, lived through the 90s and loved every bit of it.

lately I've been seeing a lot of "nostalgia" videos and nostalgia nights, like Bring Back the 90s type stuff. I finally said to my wife I'm over it. I get it. I lived through it. (funny thing is they don't bring up the deep in the woodwork trends, it's all brightly colored tamagatchi, saved by the bell, TGIF, clueless, spice girl, fads that weren't even that fundamental - at least in my lived experience.)

then last night my wife popped on American Idol (yeah that show is still on) and guess what the theme was - 90S NIGHT.

I swear if I see another 90s anything I might just quit society altogether and live in the mountains like Jeremiah Johnson.

anyone else?

I’m good at my job. Extremely competent. People look to me for advice and guidance; even folks way above my pay grade. The things I do and the advice I give is legit impactful. And that’s where the problem lies. Like, I’m largely making shit up as I go along. And the outcomes of my making shit up are impactful. I can’t say I’ve ever made a work decision that wound up putting others in a bad spot or bad situation, but that “what if” always lingers in my brain.

Thirty years ago, when I was young, stupid, and on the cusp of shipping off for college, my aunt said she had advice for me. “Fake it till you make it.” I guess I really took that to heart, cause that, combined with my dad’s advice; “just show up”, is effectively how I’ve been coasting along since.

I’m sure whatever insecurities I hold on to are at least partial drivers of my thoughts, but I’m wondering if any of my peers feel the same about where they’ve managed to land in life. 🤔

Boards of Canada may be releasing a new album, random people have been receiving VHS tapes with a hexagon logo and weird shit on them, directly from Warp's warehouses. The BOC sub is abuzz with activity right now.
