This meme might be ironic, but, no joke, this is both fucking adorable and also kinda the point of life.

The little things that you like, that make your every day brighter. Just go and get them.

Honestly! I'm only in my twenties but this meme is so me rn. My fiancee and I are such homebodies with our cats lol

[–] Okokimup 13 points 7 months ago (2 children)

As a homebody I'm curious, how did you meet your fiancee?

That sounds like fun, until your cat gets pregnant and you end up with 5 fiancees

We lived on the same floor in college. I was a little more outgoing as a freshman, but nowadays I simply enjoy our cozy little home.

Small pleasures like this are what I Iive for.

(Although I'm not a fan of the green tea that my Costco carries, so I don't buy my tea there.)

[–] Carrolade 5 points 7 months ago

Frankly, asides from supporting local business, there isn't much reason not to get tea from online specialty purveyors these days. It's not terribly expensive to ship the stuff.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

You better be a fan of Earl Grey, or I'm telling Miles.

Personally, I actually went and bought a coffee maker that I actually use for tea, and due to the settings on it, it's the perfect brew every time.

Whenever I want, just toss some loose tea into the top, hit the right size button for my cup and enjoy my favorite plants.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That sounds awesome. So it steeps the tea enough?

I unironically love earl grey. It's one of my favorites that I always have on hand.

There's no way those 2 are in their 40s... Or maybe "just". Not enough little lines around the eyes.

[–] Anticorp 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Those are 25 year-olds.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

That's what green tea does to you.

Your fifties is where you have already bought everything cool at Costco and start regularly checking your toilet for signs of needing to be changed.

[–] Frozengyro 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

As a 30 YO with a perfectly functional toilet, but the bowl awkwardly is 1/2" larger than the seat.... This hits too close to home.

I need to clean it constantly or have urine splatter on my legs when it's time for a #2.

[–] Num10ck 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

go buy a replacement seat, after measuring. sounds like you got round instead of oval shaped. its a $20 problem.

[–] Frozengyro 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nope, both are oval, the ceramic is just a larger oval than any seat I can find.

This was my best laugh of the day. I’m looking forward to a trip to a book store tomorrow. I wanna confirm an author’s position on the topic before I buy it.

And don't forget they have a really great deal on bananas.

Honestly my forties have been some of the best, most adventurous years of my life. I truly appreciate the important things in life, and I have the means to do things I couldn’t when I was younger.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm in my forties and I think every milestone decade has been better than the last. I also wholeheartedly agree with the above statements. I hope you continue to do the things that make you happy and carry on your enjoyment of them :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Same. I'm currently trying my best to lay the groundwork to greet my 50s in as good shape as possible.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (4 children)

I turned 40 last year. All I got was fired.

I'm not a fan so far.

I'm 39, and this but entirely unironically. Think about your teens and twenties, and all the incredible shit that was happening. The parties, the music, the friends and new experiences that you look back on now wistfully. The world felt so big and new. But then take a second to think about how you actually felt. You were really unhappy a lot of the time, weren't you? I certainly was. I spent what were supposed to be the "best" years of my life pissy, moody, convinced that the whole world was full of things that I was missing out on and obsessed with finding "authenticity" in myself and, and this is the shitty part, disproving authenticity in others.

Now I'm nearly but not entirely sober, I have a steady group of friends and an incredible partner, and I spend my life mostly doing whatever I want to whenever I want. It's just that what I want has changed. I'm thrilled on an average Sunday to wake up, put on an audiobook and immediately start cooking dinner. I like mowing my lawn and tending to my garden in the evenings. Going to the grocery store with my partner is just the best, we pal around and make each other laugh and get hype about little specials. Who I am has changed, what I want has changed, and I'm realizing that it was never anything external to me. I've just become the kind of person who is capable of being happy. My world has gotten smaller, more familiar and so much brighter.

can't remember the comedian, but his flex was "I buy my pants at Costco"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've lost track of the number of times I'm "just going to nip and speak to the customer service lot about renewing my membership" just to get a hotdog and coke, and a pizza to take home.

It feels like I've "saved" £30 each time.

Ito En is amazing.

[–] rustyfish 6 points 7 months ago

Dude. That actually sounds dope.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Today it's Irish breakfast for me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Green tea is best freshly brewed, it probably is the same cost between that case and some good quality loose leaf. Cute sentiment though :)

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I should really do loose leaf more. It's just so easy to pop in a tea bag.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Highly recommend getting a cup that has a infuser made specifically for it. Makes it almost as easy as a teabag but 100x the quality. I just got a new tin of super good earl grey and it is astounding how much better it is than bagged tea.

I find it just as easy to spoon some tea into the tetsubin. Eschew inferior tea.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Dammit now I want another tea

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 6 points 7 months ago

More tea is always a good idea

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I'm 35. I bought a Dyson V15 and it's arriving today. I cannot wait to use that badboy!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Try 30s. Going to Costco and Home Depot with my wife is awesome.

We are obsessed with quantity, but I never hear a good review beyond 50 irl, just a list of pain.

I've seen some cool shit and tolerated more than my share of strife. First chronic health problem, I'm out. I'd rather choose when then have it chosen for me.

It's selfish of the people in your life to expect you to suffer for them until that suffering finally consumes you whole.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Considering my retirement is essentially whenever I decide to buy a gun I agree with this.

I've been forced to be alive this whole time for my family, but once I hit a medical "wall" I'm out and I just hope whoever is left can understand I can only suffer for so many decades lol
