Obligatory "you'll own nothing and be happy" dead horse comment. Everyone, this is your call to get a region unlocked device. It's the best thing I ever did.

I'm surprised you could even fall asleep. Smells keep me awake, and I keep anything scented in my bedroom in a tupperware to keep it from waking me up.

I took one of my older relatives to an audiologist recently, and the physician told us that the memory issues are often because your working memory is working overtime to decipher every input and you don't get to commit as much to long

They'd definitely need to disclose this, too. Imagine it being unsafe to operate machinery and drive just because you ate a bowl of berries. (Or for me, melatonin supplements always make me wired for some reason. I wouldn't want t

Personally I feel like the reason behind the change is obvious. Pornography is everywhere. People don't get their kicks from 1970s movie love scenes anymore because hardcore fetish videos are a few clicks away. The same way boys no lon

The picture absolutely looks Dachsund-like. Why it would be compared to a Chihuahua is beyond me. Maybe Chihuahua in Rome is better clickbait because everyone knows Dachshunds are from Europe already.

I don't have much need for a calculator what I'm doing currently, but I have the same TI-84 from when I was a teenager, and when I had a desk I kept it on it. I find myself using the phone app calculator for most things "arou

I'd like to get more into cash budgeting (i.e., withdraw a set amount at the beginning of the month so I have to physically analyze my spending, in-person at least) but this kind of thing has always made me nervous to do it. I can only

If the government actually fired all their subcontractors and clearanced employees with a weed pen in their desk they'd have almost nobody left. I can't help but feel like worker shortage is why they're doing this.

Most of the Mormons at my (US) high school were Mexican immigrants to the US, anecdotally.

Did you use the bee reference because of the Beehive as a Mormon symbol or is that a coincidence?

I flew Delta a few months ago and don't remember it being this simple, but I probably got confused because I did look at multiple airlines that day. Maybe it's different depending on the market?

The real free-speech absolutists are in fact still barking. I know some of them. They were against him for the brain chips at the beginning and this has only made them hate him more. They just don't get their voice amplified because so

Most super budget airlines do this but it's because they let you pare down by paying for random things. But even the non-budget ones like Delta save the taxes and 9/11 Fees for the end. Southwest is the only one that shows you the

This kind of thing is why I never really bought into the "Complete streets" philosophy of city planning. So much of it seems like putting extra concrete in a little median for no reason so you can put shrubs in that will die durin

The catcalling tied her disability into the phrasing of what the men said to her. That is why I mentioned it because it wasn't "normal" catcalling. Even if the guy who yelled the KYS comment was a homeless person, clearly not

Yeah but people are sympathetic to old folks. People understand that sometimes old people can walk a short ways and need a wheelchair for a long distance. It's when they see young people in a wheelchair that they make the "faking

Ironically, the disabled student I went to Chicago with, was Celiac as well. We actually had such a fun time finding Celiac-friendly places to eat, and I enjoyed trying new forms of familiar foods. The one advantage to going to a huge city

I don't see an edit button for my comment anymore so I'm just going to add the following thought: remember that no one is immune to disability. One small slip-and-fall, one other careless driver on the road with you, one infectio

I think the obvious solution here is to have sign language fluency be encouraged in whatever country you particularly live in. I think that person meant "world" as a figure of speech.

Why do "accessible" doors always have to weigh so much more than regular doors? The powered ones are extremely difficult to open if the button decides to not work.

This also ties into a problem with usability in general. I don't need an impulse control issue to accidentally click ads or accidentally allow notifications on websites. But clicking the wrong thing could cause huge problems in anyone&

As I've said in a different reply, the KYS guy was definitely on drugs - his demeanor was abnormal even before he opened his mouth. And every city will have characters of that type. But the other people were just average run-of-the-mil

Well the old famous pizza places are not accessible in the slightest. Basically anything super freaking old is a lost cause unless you magically have room to make the bathrooms bigger or put an extension on the storefront, etc. I'm fro

Wasn't reddit just under fire for restoring people's deleted stuff without their consent, during the Apollo protest? I can't find the article right now, but I thought I heard something about this.

The guy who told her to die was definitely on drugs and absolutely wired. Which there are bound to be some characters that way in a large city. The others I can't say, they were basically normal passers-by with no abnormal demeanor pri

Cities are where the jobs are, though, and at least in my (American) city of residence, most of the single family homes sold in the last year were bought by property management companies to become rentals or flipped.
