I had this once, it was awesome! And then my next flight was the worst one I’ve ever had. So prepare yourself just in case life is currently snickering behind its hand at you because it plans to fuck your shit up next go-around :(

OP, check out the websites about grants ISPs are getting to put fiber in rural areas and see if your area is on the list somewhere (I would try and link you to some, but I’m on mobile and for some reason I have a hell of a time finding those sites while on mobile). You can see below what I’ve had to deal with for about 20 years, until my area finally got covered by one of those grants a few months ago. I am super rural - like, I am literally surrounded by nationally protected forest and nothing else; it’snot a place I thought would ever be included in those grant locations. It was, though, and I now have Gigabyte internet with no cap, with VOIP, for $74.98 a month. If I’m not using WiFi, I get an actual gig of download speed. If I’m on wifi, it’s usually between 600-900MB.

Up until recently, we paid Centurylink about $150 a month for two lines into the house. Each line maxed out at 0.75MB download speed and 0.23 MB upload speed. We needed two lines to even be able to function. Almost 20 years of this, with no other options besides Hughesnet. We tried them for a little while; their equipment cost a fortune, it was about$150 a month, the speed was nearly as bad and they had a 200MB A MONTH CAP. We had to turn off images for websites in order to not go over the cap. Previous to 2004, I lived in a very rural part of NY. We had high speed internet for $69 a month, no cap. I can’t remember the speed, but I remember that it took 3 minutes to download a full sized movie. 20 YEARS AGO the internet was better, and cheaper!

I’ve seen a curlygirl sub, but it was pretty much dead, sadly.

YES. It’s so frustrating now. And Gboard suddenly keeps trying to turn every word I type that starts with a “p” into “poo apper”. Wtf.

Swipe was bought by Microsoft years ago, and who knows why they do what they do. The only update I’ve seen in recent memory for it was them adding Bing to the top row.

Aww, thanks. It’s ok, though. I’m getting a lot better at figuring out how not to kill my plants now and just get sad for a little while when one dies. Mostly. Lol

But it’s also hard for someone with depression, because you will kill things while you learn, and that can make you feel even more worthless and useless.

THAT SAID. If you try it and actually discover you have an interest in it, it’s a lot easier to get past the, “Fuck, I killed another one!” and slide into, “How do I not fucking kill another one?!”

This has never been term meant just for children, where did you even get that from?

CLOSE YOUR DOORS. Closed doors give you a much better chance of survival if your house catches on fire.

CLOSE BEFORE YOU DOZE

Oil of Olay has an in-shower body lotion/body conditioner that works better than any regular lotion I have ever used. And I’ve tried them all. You shower normally, rinse, and what I do is turn off the shower and just use my hands to swipe water off myself so I can get better coverage with the lotion. Then I start from my head and work my way down with the lotion. (Doing it this way saves on product too). When I’m done, turn the water back on and rinse off. The stuff is magical. I have to be careful of things I put on my skin due to some sensitivity issues, and I have zero problems with this. It’s stupid expensive and nearly impossible to find in stores anymore so I have to get it online, but it’s worth it. After a week of not using it, my skin is a flakey, itchy mess.

They have a version with lavendar and retinol in it now as well, but I haven’t tried that one. I just use the regular one.

And to add on to this - curly-haired people, put a silky case on your pillow. It will not snag your hair nearly as badly as a non-silky one does, which means less frizz when you get up in the morning.

None. They aren’t funny and clutter up feeds. I block every meme and related community I come across so I can more easily find actual meaningful content.

I think we’re going to see this more often as smaller hosts get overwhelmed with trying to deal with a growing user base. I’ve seen some posts already about a few struggling. I suspect more than a few people spun up instances without thinking things all the way through.

That is very, very, very much not the case in general. Your brother works at a unicorn office.

What is different about your links that i can’t click on a single one? I’m on mobile and touching them does nothing, but i can click on others’ links.

You don’t even have to get quiet and uncomfortable. Just saying it matter-of-factly gets them all horrified as well.
