It does not, courtesy of this recent brain-freezee lol.

I think we’re just unintentionally smarter about how we consume things?

I’m the same way with my mail.

I’m a millennial - I don’t check my mailbox for 6+ weeks at a time.

If I order something, then I know about it and expect it at my door (because it’s fedex, amazon, or ups).

Otherwise, it will have to wait until I happen to remember I have a mailbox.

For example, with bills - I expect you to have my email address and use it, because I supplied it whenever I established xyz account.

Exceptions:

  1. Around the holidays when people send out holiday cards!
  2. For a local property tax exemption, my county refuses to email it. Their requirement for receiving the exemption is that you live here locally, and part of their way for verifying that, is by sending the request form to your local physical address.

I’m in the military lol. The government definitely knows I’m alive by 0600 sharp every morning.

I am almost to the point where I don’t mind normal junk mail. That’s easy to quickly scan, identify as junk, and toss.

What really grinds my gears are when my companies contact me and write something like “Important” on it. This happened recently with my credit card company. I thought maybe I had gone overdue, or had overpaid and this was letting me know my bill the following month would be less (it has happened before).

No - it was letting me know I had good credit and could get a good % on a loan through them if I wanted. Now, that made me mad. Junk mail, from my very own credit card company. B.S.

That’s a good tip, thank you!

Just signed up for this, thank you. It’s fantastic!

Now I can check my mail from the comfort of my bed. USPS email comes daily at 0400.

I hold it under my non-dominant armpit when wearing pants with no pockets.

This is a good point too. The nice thing about Walmart delivery is that you can change your address.

So if you typically have it delivered to your home address, but you fly somewhere on vacation and don’t get a rental car, you can have Walmart deliver your groceries to your vacation spot. That’s a lot cheaper than using a taxi to get groceries, or buying every meal you eat on vacation - especially if you have a family!

  1. What type of floor does your basement have? Is it carpet or cement?

Basements tend to be damp. So if it is carpet, there is a good chance it is retaining some moisture and already has some slight mildew/mold build up. This would transfer easily over to your blanket.

Would this make a big difference to you, since you’re already living in that environment? Not likely. If you’re allergic, it would just make you more sneezy, your nose rub more, etc.

  1. Spiders and other creatures of the night. For this reason alone, don’t put your blanket on the ground. Unless you live in Alaska, where there are genuinely ZERO spiders, I guarantee you that you have spiders in your basement. And that the run across your basement floor at night.

Don’t believe me? Just stay up late watching a movie on your tv one night (with all other lights off), and I promise you’ll see their shadows on the ground as they move around.

So - no! Put your blanket on something! Anything! Doesn’t have to be fancy. Other people are making responsible adult recommendations, which is great and all, but the point is - keep your gosh darn blanket off the ground. Do you have an extra lounge chair (the type that has armrests; not a folding chair)? Put that by your bed and throw your blanket on that if you get too hot.

You do NOT want to put your blanket on the floor, and pick it up the next day… or three days later… and put it on your bed, accidentally picking up a spider or two along with it. NO thank you.

That’s a good idea.

I had another thought too. In the past, I’ve used some acne creams on my face at night, mostly to try and prevent a breakout. Benzoyl peroxide was the main one, and it made little bleach marks on the top edges of my comforter and pillow case. Just a warning because these blankets seem special to you.

Good luck with your blanket setup!

Aww, that sounds adorable!

Thought I was getting déjà vu while reading your comments lol. Glad you explained why I saw it so many times!

I agree with your foundational stance on using kbin vs. Lemmy due to the political beliefs (‘Tankies’) of those on Lemmy.

But, I’d never heard of them referred to as far left before. In my mind, Bernie is generally considered far left in the US (even though I wish he wasn’t).

I am glad that others provided their explanations of left vs. progressive because it helped me to better understand why you said left (instead of right).

The profile picture is super memorable to me, for some reason.
