I've always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn't even able to comment on a post about me.

For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.

For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!

Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

It was virgin voyages. I just looked it up and it was actually 30, but still.

Hell, I'm annoyed that my apartment's laundry service is like video game MTX where you need credits for the machine. The machines are like 2 and a half bucks each, but you can only buy a minimum of $10 worth of credits which gets me 2 loads, and then leaves some credits left over that I can't use or get refunded.

Bro I feel you. The apartment i live in right now does that too. Its 2.50 to wash and 2.50 to dry. I can't wait to move.

I used to have that and hated it too but then I moved into a place that only accepts loonies (CAD $1 coins) and I just want to go back to the card based MTX. Mainly because I'm with a bank that has no physical locations to take coins out and the laundromats around me guard their coin machines like hawks
