I always chalk up fictional universes as being translated to you as storytelling. The Whos probably don't even speak English anyway so everything is translated and what we call Christmas is a crude translation from whatever they call it. I seek solace in that they celebrate a pagan gift giving tradition with decorating similar to our Christmas but without the Christ.

I've been trying my best buying responsibly sourced clothing with organic cotton and washing cold/delicate and air drying. Gotta say, the clothes are lasting a long time but they're so damn expensive that I feel like I have to treat them with such care.

It's hard to blame people for not wanting to spend $200 on a lifetime lasting shirt in this economy when they can get one for $10 and have it last maybe a year and just buy new clothes.

Perhaps as part of regulation, there's subsidies for responsibly/ethically sourced clothing.

Ditto on that. Thought I was content with my first ergo but one thing after another led to an artisan keyboard with CNC backplates and plates, 2 year long group buys, and artisans to match the whole theme that costs the same as the keyboard. At this point I'm so far in the hole that my artisan keycap collection cost more than my keyboard collection.

It's just another one of those hobbies that has many moving parts so you can optimize and personalize each part.

Danny McBride is to HBO as Adam Sandler is to Netflix

I don't mind the schadenfreude but I too get annoyed about the daily "I'm so glad I left Reddit" posts. This post in and of itself is contributing to that ironically.

What's Keefe doing there? I hope he didn't go back to his satanic ways after being removed as Assistant Youth Pastor

NTA. If you were in the bedroom, door closed, clearly not vulnerable to disturbances then he had no right to bother you. Was it rude to yell? Maybe, but who isn't angry when abruptly woken up?

It doesn't sound like you were expected to assume a SAHM role as a guest. And given that he knows you work and he's a grown man, he could've just made a snack or ordered food for himself.

Personally I'd cut him slack given that there's some stress to provide for guests 24/7 but I wouldn't feel guilty about that reaction when being woken up. His normal routine is out of order which probably makes him irritable as well.

He definitely overstepped his bounds and shouldn't be making unreasonable demands like that when you're already stressed out. You are in his house though and he sounds stubborn so I don't know how comfortable you would be with that confirmation bias and holding onto tension.

Not if you make your PR over 100 lines of code change in 1 commit. Then you get the good ol "LGTM" stamp
