  • The mortar bed and plywood are sitting on concrete?

    No, they’re both supported by the floor joists, which might be sitting on a poured concrete wall that runs underneath the bathroom. It’s a little hard to see exactly what’s going on under the floor, visibility isn’t great under the bathroom from the basement. Filling in the plywood section with mortar would require building out some sort of form to keep it from running into the basement.

    The mortar seems pretty robust. The only way I’d be able to get it out would probably be the rotary hammer or a big sledge hammer or something. Ideally I’d like to just put SLC down as-is, I just want to make sure the cracks and divots won’t cause any problems with that. The floor transitions to hardwood, and currently the bathroom subfloor sits about a 1/2" lower than the hardwood, so I’m hoping that’s enough to fit a layer of SLC, ditra, and tile. I would like it to be flush, but I’m not super concerned if the bathroom floor ends up a tad taller.

    I appreciate the feedback though, thank you!



  • People who’s first language is not English don’t necessarily know about those characters, and they probably don’t play nicely with screen readers and other accessibility tools. They aren’t even disambiguating anything, because there’s still disagreement on when to use thorn, and when to use eth. Using them is just a dumb flex. There’s no upsides.


  • Implying that a woman has obtained a position of power by performing a sex act is misogynist. Implying that Erika Kirk obtained her new position by performing a sex act distracts from the actual facts: she’s using her husband’s death and influence to obtain power. I appreciate the nuance you’re trying to bring to the conversation, but you’re sort of falling into the trap the original commenter laid - you’re letting yourself get distracted from the fact that Erika Kirk is terrible because she’s an evil human being, not because she’s a woman who may or may not perform sex acts.



  • Stop. It’s 2026, we don’t need to do this sex shaming bullshit anymore. Giving blowjobs doesn’t make you a bad person. Being good at blowjobs doesn’t make you a bad person. Don’t lump Erika fucking Kirk in with people who are simply good at blowjobs. Erika Kirk is a bad person because she’s profiting off of her husband’s death. Erika Kirk is a bad person because she’s continuing her husband’s legacy of hate and bigotry. Blowjobs have nothing to do with it, and you’re muddying the waters by making that the focus.
