Lol, considering I heard it all the time growing up in the 80s you might be a bit off on your assessment.
I grew up in a middle class suburb where the it was used as an insult kinda like " poor people are poor because they are stupid"
She grew up in the Ozarks and they used it more as a " we got ways to make do"
1D10@lemmy.worldto Positive News@lemmy.ml•Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hoursEnglish8·3 days agoOk cool,but… “The material can be used like regular plastic when coated” Um coated with what, and how problematic is that coating?
Pretty sure this is true for all modern washers, ours is top load and it says leave door open when not in use.
I’m not saying it is the case in your situation but sometimes very old appliances are so inefficient that it makes sense to replace them on energy savings alone, we had a fridge that I put a meter on to see what it cost us to run, it was a little over $100 more per year then the larger one I was thinking of buying So if this new one lasts 10 years or so it will have paid for itself.
This is my mother in law to a tee, she buys second hand washing machines on craigslist for $100 - 200 they last about a year and she buys a new one. Always complaining about “planned obsolescence”. I keep telling her “no one is selling a good used washing machine, they had problems with it and got a new one” Meanwhile she criticizes me for spending $700 on a washing machine we have had for 10 years now.
She has a saying “poor people have poor ways” which she thinks means that when your poor you work with what you have, I have told her it is an insult that means poor people are poor because of their actions and decisions.
When people pretend they cannot understand a sentence becuse of a grammatical error.
If you honestly can’t parse out what a person is trying to say because they left out a comma or misspelled a word or God forbid used the wrong “their” perhaps you need to work on reading skills.
No but I told my wife and she stopped talking to me, so I figured everyone should know.
1D10@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•White House releases Amb. Mike Huckabee's text to President Donald Trump1·18 days agoI’m not saying this is true but, if you wanted to enter a war in Iran this text would be good to release a few days before our embassy in Israel is hit by Iranian missiles. Not saying it will happen but if Huckabee is a victim of that attack someone should check if his body has been frozen.

I know its a cliché but honestly I got my early sex ed from porn magazines I found in the woods, fortunately playboy at the time did have articles that were educational.

In theory you could have a system that monitors input and then uses a precise amount of water to vacate the bowl.

1D10@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How would you explain to a date that you have an abusive family and you're the only sane person?53·5 months agoI told my now wife everything as it came up, I never hid anything from her. Also I had already cut ties to almost all of my family.
When people tell me " your parents raised you right" I respond with " no the family dogs did most of the raising, my parents served as a bad example"

If the person in back can’t maintain the proper distance, it is the person in fronts responsibility to maintain the proper speed.
The trick I learned that helped most was to mix everything together just enough to combine, you want to get as little gluten as possible.

1D10@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump's Executive Order Against Trans People Technically Makes Every American Female32·5 months agoYeah they define female as member of species with largest sex cell but also state the sex person is at conception is their sex, therefore we are all sexless.
Honestly buy something that is good quality but doesn’t have stupid shit, do I need my washing machine and my toaster talking to each other? No but the stripped down no frills ones are normally built to be as absolutely cheap as possible.
