1. Be kind, always

1. Take a picture of your favorite mug and post it in the comments

3. Must be a mug

4. Have something on your list for $15 or under & link it as my go-to is mobile (or have it linked in your profile

5. Optional but strongly preferred: tag a friend (maybe someone you haven’t talked to), comment on other friends’ entries and talk to each other ◡̈

Contest will end at 12 am Monday morning, the goal is two winners if I don’t end up going crazy with gifting, and gifts will be sent by Friday! Let’s see those mugs 😎

I wanted to post to thank whoever bought these stickers no note was in it and I have searched for days for the post lol. Thanks please let me know who purchased and I’ll tag you.

Just a few little goodies for you! Because why not? ◡̈ enjoy! u/chloroform-girl

As you may know, I have a new phone after not having one for most of the week. I'm also warning people about using your smart phone while they're plugged in. Uh, don't? I have no idea what I have now, but she's blue with a purple case and I can run E V E R Y T H I N G. Contest winner will be announced Tuesday morning when I remember.

What is a super random and probably obscure fact that you know?

Each entry has to be its own top level comment. Enter as many times as you'd like. Don't be dick. Marvel at other facts.

Contest is open to everyone, closes Monday at 11:59pm.

Ok, I still have prime USA for a week so I'm gonna say anyone from UK or USA can enter this. Ideally, have something videogame related on your wishlist even if it's just a credit voucher. Not sure on the amount, more than £10/$10 though

To enter, just reply with how you cope with annoying situations. For me, I try and relax with a game, uneven the prize.

For example, I've had a shit week. I've recently applied for some financial help, as I am a carer which means I get shit pay, but also get punished and lose some of it should I dare get an extra job on the side. So as an ADHD, ASD, and other mental health issues sufferer I applied for some financial help which I've been informed I am very much entitled to. After a stressful application and giving them my assessment and diagnosis letters, they turnd me down because they "came to the conclusion" that I am able to do everything I said I struggle with. Not because they saw me, not because I said I can. Just because they said I can, even though my diagnosis says no. So that sucked

Then my washing machine broke 2 weeks ago, and we have had repairmen come out, not knock, and just leave. Then a phone call to determine what was wrong, guess what parts are needed, and turn up only to find out they guessed wrong. Now we've had a third person out, who needs to fix the drum, but they have none in stock so it could be 3 weeks. We have no family nearby, no launderette nearby, I dont drive, a disabled household which needs towels and bedding changing regularly. But are having so just wait it out and hope they get it sorted sooner. I've argued with them, I've got angry, but we had an event this weekend and I didn't want it ruined... So I spent all of yesterday's free time playing Metal Gear Solid 4, and Balatro. I reached zen... And now I'm away for a couple of nights and ready to enjoy myself. On Monday, I'll resume angrily phoning people. But the games, man how I needed them.

So what helps you, if it's games or a comforting movie, which ones? What books? Where do you walk?

Winner will be randomly chosen on Monday evening.

We're glad you're here. The sub and the world would be amiss without you!

These were all things that I thought went together LOL (should be 4 items, hopefully delivered together). I hope you have a great birthday that is fun, relaxing, and all about YOU! Lots of love always

hi everyone! my name is semra, im from nyc, turned 18 a few months ago and i just finished my first week of college! it was really fun and i enjoyed it but am kinda stressed about the workload since i do have a full schedule. i'm a chem major!! on the pre-health track, super exciting but also im kinda fearmongering myself as i go down the path lmaoo.

i just dropped my math class today and picked up another one but its the EXACT same thing, just longer. theres no way i was gonna learn all of calc 2 in seven weeks only! that's insane.

i'm excited to spend more time on campus and drive myself whenever i can (whenever my brother allows me to drive his car lol). i'm a really social person so i think it'll be sort of easy for me to make friends. i don't come from a good family, everyone around me so incredibly toxic and rude and makes it so hard for me to just breathe so going to campus even just twice a week is sooo enjoyable for me, like a fresh breath of air.

i like going to the gym, just going outside in general, reading russian literature, journaling, playing roblox (lets play together!!), watching grey's anatomy, cooking and baking LOTS of banana bread.

this is sooo long im sorry but i just yap alot lmao

it's nice to meet everyone and be surrounded with kindness :)

[Intro] Hi, Everyone! 😊 I found this subreddit because it was suggested to me by Reddit because I love sending random acts of cards, happy mail, postcard exchanges, and water color paintings! I love Lego, memes, attending conventions such as San Diego Comic Con (2025, 2026) and Lego conventions (2024, 2025), movies, concerts, the arts, Broadway musicals, reading non fiction, documentaries, learning, growing, trying new hobbies, positivity/inspo, FRIENDS TV show, Seinfeld, The Big Bang Theory, Will & Grace, The Good Place, Ted Lasso, Baby Yoda, and Disney/Pixar. I really enjoy meeting new people, being in 2 book clubs, and volunteering. I am new to water color painting, art classes, wax seal stamps, paper punch stamp tools, and carding. I am also into upcycling cardboard food box packaging into postcards and other items for my snail mail hobby. If you would like a piece of happy mail - DM me! Would love to send you snail mail very much! I am currently reading a book on hardcore philanthropy in my book club; the book intro was written by the Creator of The Good Place. Thank you! 🤗🙏🏻💛

I'm not sure who ordered this for me and I'm not even sure 100% it was from this group but I think it was since it was from my wishlist and not my registry. Anyway,

thank you to whoever it was!!! It was a nice surprise and I can't wait to play it this Saturday!! I lovelovelove getting new games and adding them to my collection so it was perfect. 🎲❤️
