What's one thing I can get/do to make my first "adult" apartment a bit nicer?
  • Stainless steel has to be seasoned much like cast iron, so as long as I’ve oiled it well and cooked with it often, I haven’t had many stickiness issues. Cast iron has its place in my kitchen, but it’s so heavy I can’t flip the pans, and takes so long to heat up it’s relegated to slow cooking.

  • I’ve simply not had good luck with it. All the pans I find at the thrift store are decroded nonstick and really rusty, which I question the sanitation of even after I’ve cleaned them. If I happened upon a 100 year old cast iron or AllClad I would snatch it up.

  • Clean everywhere you can think, you’d have no idea how much grime is hiding on walls and inside cabinets from past people. Some reusable rags, hot water and a little dish soap in a spray bottle works in 95% of cases.

    Get some plants and paintings, and use warm lighting from windows and lamps over ceiling lights.

    If you don’t have pots and pans already, get stainless steel. They’re more versatile than nonstick and you don’t have to worry about carcinogens. Tremontina is a good brand. Also get some knives and a good knife sharpener, and multiple cutting boards to separate meats and veg.

    Try to thrift pretty much everything. The only thing I’m iffy on is the aforementioned cookware.

    Watch that feng shui guy on YouTube. He’s got good analysis on furniture placement and home decor.

  • I went on Reddit (yeah, yeah, I know) on my phone while on an errand today, the device that all that enshittification is ostensibly intended for, and OH WOW it's bad.
  • Want to go to a "controversial" sub that doesn't do front page bootlicking for billionaires and/or "influencer" sociopaths? Too bad, you need to log in. I have nothing left to log in with because fuck that.

    Every porn sub is behind the same wall, which is whatever, I don’t use reddit for porn. BUT this also includes any post that talks about sex in any detail. I could not count the number of times I’ve tried looking for sex toy reviews, only to be blocked by reddit-logo s asinine nsfw policy.

    What apps do you use for written note taking and reading?

    Just broke my wrist, and it takes me like 10x as long to type anything. I had been looking into written alternatives for a while, and this blew me over the edge. I like the Remarkable 2, but I don't think I can justify that much on a device that can only read and write documents without trying one out first. The other option people keep recommending to me is an ipad. I don't have one of those either, but I've used one with a paper screen so at least I know how that feels. My biggest problem with the ipad is the opposite of the Remarkable, there are too many apps and I have no idea which to use. So what apps do you use, if any, or do you use another thing entirely?

    Death to America

    Mark Twain once said that God invented war so Americans would learn geography. Evidently, God didn’t try hard enough.
