It kind of reminds me of a visual bookmark manager.
Some people will use it to gather recipes. They might even group some, like "Thanksgiving dinner ideas" or "new diet." When you do this, you can even get a little thumbnail that will make it easier to find later.
It's not limited to recipes. You can link a lot of stuff, like maybe tutorials on how to build a shelving unit. You could put it in a group called "organizing my garage," along with other stuff you want to do.
You might not even necessarily use it for links, maybe you have an idea for a costume or a picture you want to draw. You can find picture inspiration. Once you find a picture, it can suggest more you might like.
One can of course achieve this type of thing without Pinterest (I do just fine with my own system) but Pinterest does make it very convenient, especially for people that aren't as tech savvy.
You ever see in the movies, those teen girls and young women with a cork board full of magazine cutouts? That's a mood board.
You kind of get an idea for something, like "the ideal vacation" and any time you see something that fits that theme for you, you put it on the mood board. When you're done, you are able to see your details together in a big picture view.
Pinterest is kind of neat because it gives you the convenience of a digital medium.
When I was young, I wouldn't have found it acceptable. It doesn't matter how badly you're treated, you need to find a peaceful way to resist. It's something drilled into my and my peers' skulls since I can remember.
After seeing little progress (but mostly worsening) with polite requests and peaceful protests, I really can't figure out how it can be unacceptable.
A lot of those kids probably just haven't gained that wisdom yet.
It's going to happen to me. When I was homeless, I was a waste to help because I'm doomed. Now that I am decently off with a great career, I am a waste to give anything to, because I have it handled. I have this feeling my parents don't like me lol.
If that's the attitude, I don't think it's right. If it's going into a trust or something, to prevent the recipient from harming themselves, I don't see a problem.
Stanley is a brand that makes things like thermal mugs. They were quality and lasted for years, but weren't designed with looks in mind. They were favored by tradespeople because they're hard on stuff and it just works. (I knew them for thermal mugs that held coffee.)
For reasons unknown to me, influencers got a hold of Stanley mugs, with a straw and handle. They became very popular. The company now makes them in many different colors and some people decide to collect them.
Facts. Folks tend to only carefully consider what they keep or bring in when it causes issues, like running out of space. They don't usually think about it otherwise.
I like something in-between. I have hobbies where I use some equipment for building stuff. A smaller space would have worked if I could have changed some things in my old apartment, like being able to change the layout of my closets. (So I could store my stuff in a way it's easier to get to. I could work around it, but it wasn't optimal.) My family is also pretty messy, and I only have so much "effort" in me in a day. In certain small spaces, it's pretty involved to try to get to something if your family blocked it, didn't put it back, or just otherwise disrupted the "flow." A little extra space means I have some wiggle room, and I am able to make sure our stuff doesn't expand to fit the emptiness over a longer period of time.
I do like to have people over and entertain... It's possible in a smaller place but a touch more space and it's comfortable.
I don't like big living spaces. There is too much space for things to get lost and there is more to clean and maintain. I like to buy stuff in bulk when there are sales, but there is a point where it's just too much.
When I live by myself, all bets are off. Small spaces all the way. I don't need to consider anyone else's needs and I can make everything super efficient.
I'm not sure about being associated with a current cop.
If he was a cop, I would be curious to know why he isn't any more. If it's because he genuinely wanted to do good, but he left because he couldn't change the system, this would earn a lot of respect in my eyes.
