I don't, either. I wash all my clothes on cold with Tide. Some stuff I put on the delicate cycle and hang to dry. The exception is sheets and towels, which I wash on warm or hot, if they're really dirty. I've never sorted by color in 20 years so far of doing laundry and I've never had any issues with colors bleeding.
Yep, same. Pretty much everything gets dumped in the same pile, washed on cold, and dried together.
Another lazy laundress here. I air dry wool but that’s about it for special laundry anything.

Do you only go to places that offer chicken tenders and fries? I don't think anywhere I go has this on the menu.
Yes
You're right, I disapprove.

So true!
Also brother is a Harvard MBA
This is not a knock against Katie, but her appearance is just everything I imagine DCUM's to approve of. Not overweight, very fit (obviously). Simple haircut. Clean look. Her style seems to be preppy, modest (but not weird), muted, classic, simple. Makeup, but very natural look. No visible logos. Straight teeth. Simple jewelry.
Family lives in Bethesda. House is spacious, but not gaudy. Brick colonial. (My parents live a few blocks away, don't judge.) I'm sure it is very classy and clean on the inside.
Even her and her brother's names exemplify the DCUM dream: Katie and Michael. Simple. "Classic."
She seems utterly sexless.
Like PP said, she is everything DCUM approves of. Including that.
Her appearance is nothing to envy.

She doesn’t exist to be your sex toy.
Of course not, and I’m sure she’s a wonderful person. I am simply saying that no one needs to be envious of her appearance.
I'm a woman and I agree. I am currently 135 pounds, wish I were 120, but I would rather be 135 pounds than look like her. She's super butch looking.
And that ten paragraph post about why she's everything DCUM should aspire to was weird and sounds like it was written by her mother.

I do think diversity is a strength (not our greatest strength but a strength) and I think we should respect everyone - use kind language, be polite, etc. - but I do agree that the DEI movement should die.
I agree with the second poster. Diversity is a strength, but that this point DEI has become a boom industry full of grifters with a financial interest in keeping us all segregated and angry. Racial harmony is not good for business. I’m now skeptical of anyone with any sort of DEI-related job title.
Agree completely.
DEI is dividing people and tearing this country apart. It is accomplishing the opposite of its intended goals, and needs to go away. I actually agree with the Florida’s Governor’s decision to expel DEI from the state government.
DEI puts way too much focus on individual identity, which is the opposite of what you should do if you want to become more inclusive and welcoming.

What a bizarre comment. Is her sexuality supposed to be public? Is she supposed to be sexy on top of being a record breaking Olympic athlete? Like, what are you looking for out of this woman living her life?

Too many to count:
-Gave up prestigious and lucrative jobs in both public and private sectors for better QOL, spend more time with family
-Moved from MoCo to an extremely politically conservative area of the south (we're moderate liberals); we enjoy the area
-Parents died young, so we focus more on day-to-day QOL than on accumulating wealth; relatively low NW
-DGAF about fine dining, theater, art, or culture; we eat at food trucks and spend our free time outdoors or reading
