That's entirely untrue. I'm a photographer (though I'm largely quitting after this year) and advertise on Facebook/Instagram. If someone was in my area and got newly engaged, they might see my ad. They probably need a

I think there's been one thunderstorm like that in the day since she's started remote work two or three years ago, and the connection dropped for 10 minutes. We usually get storms like that in the evening, and that happens maybe

Oh no, she tried. We would have much rather kept the Starlink + hotspot combination, but since they would pay for neither (and required the 'land line') we dropped the hotspot.

People lived in tribes, close knit towns, or cities with public areas. Now a very large portion of us live in detached homes, far away from any groups of children.

I always doubt anyone who sees 'bots' everywhere they go, but I agree with them on the groups part. https://old.reddit.com/r/ShitMomGroupsSay/ regularly has some good examples. Ironically, I've pos

My wife works remotely as an accountant. We have Starlink as it’s the best internet available in our area, and we used to have an unlimited hotspot as well for other reasons. We’re very close to a cell tower. Her company requires her to ha

Well, I don’t know if it’s the brain power or the gray matter pruning that goes on, but my wife was an absolute space cadet for a while during pregnancy and quite a while after. She’d forget almost everything.

For me it’s available in the app but not the website, although I can access the conversations that have generated images on the website.

I used that as an example as I recently asked for it. I did find I had to tell it that "monster" in the title referred to monster trucks, not actual monsters. That helped it not put actual monsters in (as yours are half Blaze&#x

Well, I doubt many people are going to bother hoodwinking their doctors in order to get a prescription. It is a shame it can't just be sold over the counter though, as it really is the best cold medicine. It keeps your sinuses some

I use it quite a few times a year (in bursts) and I'm not hooked. I gave instructions in my post as to how. Colds don't last as long for my wife so she just uses it for 2-3 days and then stops.

Teens literally put their (usually self diagnosed) conditions in their Instagram bios. That sort of thing used to be only something you’d share with close friends, if that. It was a big deal if someone let you know they had bipolar, depress

And you can absolutely buy meth in a private sale without doing a background check. Now, the whole buying meth part isn’t legal - but the lack of background check is. I wonder if there are any states where you can buy Sudafed privately from

We literally knew the day they put it in the shelves it was 100% ineffective. The FDA dropped the ball hard on this.

I made this comment elsewhere but I do a sinus rinse in the morning with Xylitol, and do Afrin at night. Rinsing it out helps with dependence and Xylitol helps with congestion too.

by Auracle 3y ago
For what it’s worth, Afrin and other similar nasal sprays are by far the best decongestant. The only issue is you can only take them for a few days straight, or you’ll have rebound congestion when you try to quit. There are oodles of storie

SDXL is great but it's in no way better than DALL E as far as straight text-to-image goes apart from the lack of censorship. It has plenty of other advantages, but you can't tell it "make me a cute illustration of a 2 year ol

I had insurance purchased through the exchange for a few years after. It was just for me, a healthy(ish) man in my 20s. The year was $200 a month. The next year was $300 a month. The next year was $450 a month. It had some good in it, su
