Very small things, but still things I needed to remember to do. Running it every day. Making sure to clean it every week. (Ice or garbage disposal cleaner) If I didn't clean it, even after running it every day, it would smell. When my partner would clog it, I would have to fix it. (Again, it took little time.) Making sure nothing fell in there before I ran it every time. I would often find my measuring spoons or a fork in there. (It doesn't really seem to matter to my family how many times I tell them not to leave small things in the sink.)

I recognize this is very little and it's basically nothing for most people, but sometimes I have a very hard time keeping up with things and the garbage disposal is very out of sight, out of mind. The sink strainer is very visible.

I find they're pretty ubiquitous where I'm from. I had one in every apartment I've lived in. I don't have one in my house though.

I know a lot of people will just dump a lot of food waste in there. After struggling with it, I started just throwing out all of the waste and using the garbage disposal for the small bits of food that would normally get caught in the sink strainer.

Now that I'm back to living in a place with no garbage disposal, I do miss it a little. The sink strainer is a bit gross to handle. But it's also pretty nice not having to maintain the garbage disposal so it all evens out.

Disappointed but not surprised. Joining forces with like minded people. Doing the best I can do.

I lived in an apartment complex like this. Management didn't bother to ever clean the dryer vents, so it would take for. ev. er. to dry. It's a wonder the laundry building didn't catch on fire.

It could be a lot of things. This usually happens to me because of feelings I haven't really processed, just shoved down.

I strongly prefer text as well. Watching a video is harder for me. I'm not sure if it's because I have multiple processing disorders.

With text, if I don't understand a sentence or paragraph, I can read it over and over again and try different ways to try to comprehend. You can rewind a video but it's definitely more work. (I have ADHD so when I'm trying to learn something, it is definitely a downside the more I have to think about things that aren't the subject at hand.)

If I am not having comprehension issues, reading is far easier than watching because I can just get through it faster.

I do like videos for certain things, like a tutorial on woodworking after I read about it. Seeing it done really helps with some parts I get stuck on.

I chalked it up to my brain just working differently from other people's. (I am neurodivergent.) I think we're in the minority.

I am absolutely crushed that Brussels sprouts give me horrible gut pain. They are so good!

The texture of garden tomatoes are so much better than the texture of the ones you get at the store, too.

Yeah I used to love MSI and never really listened to the lyrics closely. Dude covers songs by black artists and straight up sings the N word.

The more I looked into Jimmy Urine, the more problematic it got, like grooming a teenage girl.

Looks like they went over budget on the glass cleaner for the mirrors. The blinds are the cheapest shit ever.

You are correct. However, I don't mess with my work computer and let the IT department manage it. Sometimes, they manage poorly.

tbf, I have rebooted my system and uptime didn't also reset. It appears that newer Windows has this "fast startup" feature. Pinky swear I told the truth.
