Fandom engages in a lot of anti-user and anti-creator practices. There are mirrors to it that privacy and content respecting, particularly Antifandom and BreezeWiki. If you are interested in making the switch, there are plugins that will automatically redirect you away from Fandom towards one of these mirrors.

And if you’re lucky, you don’t slice yourself on the plastic bastard.

I bought a garmin specifically to help me navigate moving on my own halfway across the USA. It was my first time moving out. It was my first time on such a long drive by myself. Lots of firsts. (I actually forgot my phone back home, since the garmin was its own device, I was more focused on having that than my cheap ass phone. Wound up pulling into a Walmart to buy a Tracfone lol)

Prior to that I used MapQuest a lot

Learning to flip things in any cookware is still a work in progress for me, but it always gives impressively better results when I can manage it, so it’s something I want to master!

This one’s new to me; I love it!

I find that also cuts down on how much your eyes water (for the onions)

Pasta water as an emulsifier was also a huge technique for me :)

I’m with you on the confusion because it’s like… I don’t feel the need to act this way, why do other people? What drives them that, in a void, they resort to these thoughts and behaviors? Is this who they really are, or is it an act, like doing an evil playthrough in a game. “I want to because I can here, and I can’t anywhere else?”

I agree.

I’ve been enjoying Tidal after switching.

Is anyone else completely unable to register on chexsystems? Usually when this happens I can’t tell if it’s because of my privacy settings or a legitimate fuckup on the server’s end.

Not the above poster but I’ve had dentists share the same sentiment and mostly I’ve heard it’s because the majority of their patients who use it, use it as a replacement for more thorough dental care–they don’t floss and/or brush because they think they’re getting clean enough with the pik. The dentist who told me this basically said, “It’s fine as a supplement after you brush and after you floss, to flush out any lingering debris from those two activities, but it’s really just not worth the time or money.”

It’s holding its tail down!

Love your comment.

I actually got curious and tried to fact check this but then realized I had no way of knowing which sites really offered actual advice to such an inane little fact, or were just making shit up. :(

And knowing that the community (that I’ve curated anyway) is generally not toxic and overly hostile, especially to civil discourse. That fosters trust that if I engage, I’m not going to be downvoted and socially shunned because of some minor community fixation.

I think for calling out a sponsorship on a video about greed?

I don’t generally begrudge content creators their sponsorships, gotta pay the bills somehow, god knows youtube’s going to do everything in its power to make sure videos get demonetized.

Hey thanks for posting this–both the original post and your own anecdote. I think personal hygiene is something that should be more comfortably chatted about. It’s weird cause most people are like “ew TMI” and yeah it can wind up in that space, but at the same time, I think there’s a lot of stuff people are lacking in knowledge in just cause it’s kind of embarrassing to talk about!

Anyway I think I also had this in my early 20s; at least I hope so. I remember scrubbing harder and harder under my pits and one day seeing something slough off and until recently I’ve always assumed I killed a bunch of skin and it all came off. But given the symptoms I had been having at the time, I think this might have been it.

I’ve never been so interested, so fast, as when you combined those two names.

I got the Vampire Survivors DLC. I try not to buy Steam stuff anymore unless it’s either a deep discount on something I kind of am interested in, or it’s something I badly wanted.

Over 11 years at least.
