Not at all! I used to wait tables, and I always appreciated it when people did that. It shows that they care about helping to clear the table and make the process smoother for the staff. It also gives us a little head start when we come to clear the dishes. Of course, it’s important not to stack them too high or in a way that makes it hard to carry, but a little effort to tidy up is always appreciated!

All advice I give is advice I should take, but don't

I’ve been feeling the same way, honestly. I used to love gaming, but lately it’s hard to get into anything, and I think it’s not just about quitting gaming. The real issue is that when I try to play the older games I enjoy, my roommate criticizes them. It’s like every time I want to play something, I’m told it’s "boring" or "outdated," and I’m pushed to play newer stuff instead. It’s really killed the fun for me.

I know they mean well, but they have similar input on pretty much everything, like food, music, TV/movies, and clothing. We’ve been friends since grade school, and I’m not sure where the disconnect came from, but I wish they’d try positive reinforcement instead. I don’t really respond well to their usual methods. It just makes everything feel more like a critique than a suggestion.

I’m drawn to places that feel forgotten, where time seems to stand still. The emptiness and absence of people create a rare solitude, and these spaces feel like snapshots of a different era. I love seeing nature gradually reclaim what was once built by humans. It’s a reminder of nature’s persistence, quietly reclaiming what we left behind.

Above all, I enjoy the disconnection. These places exist outside the rush of modern life, free from obligations and deadlines. Stepping into them feels like entering a different reality, one that’s both familiar and alien at the same time
