Pedantzilla: "@bluedaisy, I'm not "avoiding" the NYT - they are a garbage paper that is actively working against the American people (not to mention the rest of the world) and you should feel bad about giving them your money, so I am happy to shame you for whatever weak rationalization you want to give."

No one should be reveling in trying to shame anyone on AskMetafilter, knock that off. If you can't, please avoiding commenting.

One deleted, poster’s request

Hey, the OP described their partner as 'girlfriend', not wife. No biggie, just noting in the hopes of avoiding confusion the thread.

One comment removed. Please avoid arguing with other members' responses and remember that Ask MetaFilter comments should address the main question being asked.

mightshould: "The link in the question doesn't work for me…"

Fixed the URL so that it works.

One jokey answer removed,

Ask MetaFilter comments should address the main question being asked. Jokes, derailing the conversation, ranting, picking a fight or chastising the asker, arguing among commenters, single word comments and other non-answers will probably be removed.

Hey, big thanks to everyone who gave an answer, please keep in mind that we’re all here to help the OP, so there’s no need to argue with each other about differences in the answers.

Removed several derailing comments about Italian syntax. The OP is just looking for jokes, not a language debate, please just stick to what was being asked.

Some text moved to be inside the post.

Done!

knile: "Leuchtterm1917 notebooks"

Hey this link is broken and not sure what you meant to link to, maybe this notebook in the yellow? If not, let the mods know and we can update the original link. Edit: now that link is down, even though it was working a second ago! Bottom line, Leuchtturm1917 has notebook similar in color to what the OP was asking for.

Another comment removed for not answering the question.

Reverend John, please avoid adding additional comments to this thread, 'cause there's no need to turn it into a religious debate.

One comment removed for mocking another comment, which violates the Content Policy.

Be kind to others. Answers that others give may not be what you would do or even believe in, but there's not need to mock them for their different beliefs.

One comment removed for bringing ethnicity into the situation where it wasn't needed. By all means share your dissatisfaction with your experience of hiring a housekeeper, but pointing out they were Haitian and a immigrant wasn't relevant to the experience.

If you'd like the repost the comment without those bits, just email the mods and we can send you the text of the comment.

One comment removed for being posted in the wrong thread, no big deal. Mollymillions, I've emailed you the text of the comment if you'd like to post it elsewhere.

OP is asking for help with their smart lock, not for quotes from Scifi stories that predicted this might happen. Please just answer the question or if you don't have an answer, just move on.

Beis tote link fixed, thanks for your patience!

One comment (seemingly unrelated to the thread) removed.

These are the films that check the boxes for "laugh until you cry" humor.

Hey, just a reminder that those sorts of films aren't what the OP was asking for. They want to know "What movies start with the main character dying, and then flash back to the life of that character and events leading up to the death?" so please just stick to suggestions along those lines, thanks!

Edited to add: OP of this comment asked for it to be removed in the a.m. EST of 11/29

Hi all.

Back when I posted this question, Unattach didn't have the precise feature I wanted, but I wrote and requested it, and some time ago, it got added. I finally started using it, and so far, it's great.

Hi, just a quick mod note to say that we’ve verified that the asker of this question is NOT the person who is the subject of the question or anyone related to the subject.

One comment removed for not answering the question and telling an unrelated story. Sorry, but AskMe is a bit stricter with its answering policy, which should address the question being asked.

kate4914: "Mods, can you take a look at that link for me, please??"

Fixed!

Hi all.
We're starting to get into derail territory with the discussion of the phrase "Chinese whispers" so please drop that topic from this thread, but feel free to bring it up in MetaTalk.

No comments have been removed.

Noting that the terms "transmale" and "transfemale" are considered problematic because these are medicalizing terms associated with Trans-Exclusionary views. The preferred the terms are "trans man/woman" or "transgender man/woman". I've reached out to the member in question and edited the comment with their permission.

One comment removed for seemingly not answering the question. MeMailed OP of comment for clarification.

One comment edited to remove the URL at the writer's request.

Winnie the Proust: "[Op, you wrote that you live across thecounty but I believe you meant to say you live across the country. If that’s correct perhaps a kindly mod could fix it for you, as it’s an important detail.]"

Yes, op connected us to say they did mean that they live across the country in California. The post has been updated to reflect that clarification.

One comment removed for being posted to the wrong thread.

Also, it's likely that the OP of this AskMe means they live across the country, not county.

Hi there mermaidcafe,

This question is picking up some flags, with people saying it's not clear and worrying your headache medicine may be affecting your concentration at the moment. Just passing the information on to you and mentioning that it's totally ok if you want remove your question and rewrite it for tomorrow.

That's just a suggestion, the choice is yours. If you'd like it removed, just let me know!

One comment removed for not really answering the question and needlessly arguing with another answer. Focus on the question and helping the OP y'all instead of arguing with others.

HearHere, if you're going to post answers in AskMe, please read the question carefully to make sure you're addressing the issue raised as opposed to a side and unrelated issue.

Two comments removed due to AskMe's strict Content Policy for answers, which need to answer the question being asked.

Removed a comment that did not answer the question, per Content Policy

One comment removed. If you have your own question about West Hollywood or LA, please make a new AskMe post about that and avoid adding it to this one.

emelenjr: "Your profile suggests you're in Katy, TX, and a cursory search came up with a few results for ADHD evaluation there. "

Please don't ever take information from someone's profile and use post it on the site, in any way, that violates the Content Policy.

Certainly you were doing it with the best of intentions, but this is a privacy issue and we normally such content and issue some sort of ban, temporary or permanent.

In this instance, I reached out to the OP and they said the link in their profile that mentioned a location (thedryer.com) was just a joke and they live nowhere near there.

Which is great news, but everyone, do not post information from a user's profile. Feel free to ask or request information, but do not take it upon yourself to mention anyone's profile information. Doing so could result in removal of the content and possible ban.

In this case, no bans have issued.

One comment removed for posting the output from a LLM. Please note MetaFilter's Content Policy on LLM/chatGPT output:
"MetaFilter is a place for people to share their own knowledge and ideas with each other, not to interact with algorithms, so using ChatGPT or other generative AI tools is discouraged.
