Yup. Like, I know I knew this at one point and can’t remember the details to save my life. I remember doing the deep dive. I remember enjoying it and feeling energized by it. And now I’m standing here word vomiting bs and repeating “I know I looked it up once”
Love it! That’s been on my knitting bucket list for awhile, I love the patterns with them.
That sounds awful. I dunno. I mean, at the heart of it all, on some level you’re allowing him to continue this behavior by going to him each time. If you don’t go, he has to either keep calling until you give in, or if you don’t give in, he can get pouty about it, yell about it, or eventually come and actually find you.
If you stand your ground and refuse, eventually he has to change his behavior. But, getting to that point will be very uncomfortable. So the question is, how much do you want things to change? Are you willing to go through that discomfort to get your needs met?
What does he do if you stay where you’re at and ask what he wants you for?
That yarn is gorgeous!!
Not new, but my biggest one is physically placing things I need to remember in the path of my daily routine. Like if I need to remember to bring my laptop to work, I might put my computer mouse in my shoe.
Another one is moving things in stages. If I’m cleaning my living room and something needs to go upstairs, I’ll just leave it on the stairs for the next time I go up. Otherwise I’m likely to get distracted when I get up there and forget to continue cleaning downstairs.
I also try to have multiples of things that I use in multiple rooms or places. Like a small trashcan in all my rooms so I don’t have to go somewhere else to throw it away. It minimizes distractions and helps me stay focused on the current task.
That’s a regional thing I think. I’ve never seen it in the US. But it seems like they are hell bent on obfuscating information wherever possible.
I looked up this article about it after googling the lyrics. Sounds like there was much more backlash after the music video dropped which has now been pulled from some streaming sites.
The bigger controversy was filming at a courthouse famous for lynching and using BLM protest footage in the video.
As a side note, there were babies on that plane in those temperatures for that long!?
That was my thought too, that’s deadly for babies and children. I’m astounded.
Interesting, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, humans haven’t changed much over the eons.
Any recommendations for true disaster videos? That sounds y up my alley.
It concerns me that we’re seeing this more and more in industry. Middle fingers to regulations because when you have enough money, it doesn’t matter.
And it took AN HOUR per ant AFTER getting the process down. This person spent over an entire work week shaving ants.
I’m just imagining dinner conversation with their partner that week discussing their progress for the day.
Comment from thread OP:
Existing awards will be removed from posts and comments; this will happen after Coins/Awards are sunset on Sept 12.
The changes we are announcing today will not have an impact on award-related trophies on user profiles, except that once awards are no longer available, those trophies will stop being delivered.
These changes also won’t have an impact on users who have already accumulated Premium via gifted awards.
Removing legacy awards doesn’t make sense to me. Why burry it? Piss off existing users? Create a clean slate for new users? How is it profitable?
I’m also noticing how this change is getting more notice than the API changes. So. Slow clap spez. o7 /s
For the curious:
Speaking to MailOnline, Willot confirmed this ‘was indeed a tricky procedure. They are very reactive and won’t stop struggling once caught, preventing any shaving attempt if not anaesthetised.’
This was done by exposing the ants for a few seconds to carbon dioxide, then strapping them down firmly.
Hairs were removed using a high-power binocular telescope and a very sharp blade.
‘It’s the same as shaving your own chin: the scalpel blade has to move in the opposite direction of the hair’s growth. It has to be a delicate and gentle motion,’ said Willot.
After practising on large soldier ants, he found that a smaller worker ant could be entirely shaved in an hour of delicate work.
He estimates around 40 ants were shaved altogether to produce seven good examples for the experiments.
To what end, I wonder?
I feel like it has to be financially motivated and the only thing I can think of is they want users paying for premium directly rather than having it gifted from a different accounting bucket. But that doesn’t seem like strong enough motivation on the surface.
That’s interesting, I’m a little on the fence about it.
On the one hand, absolutely having fewer references to slut shaming is healing for women, especially after she has self described herself as a lightening rod for slut shaming while she was dating normally in her early twenties. One thousand percent, yes, change it.
What I think it misses out on a bit is that in that age of life when people are trying to figure themselves out, there’s a sadness and hurt that comes out of feeling like you’re not good enough because you’re not ready to be sexual with someone yet. And it can be extra hurtful if the someone who is supposed to love you is lured away by someone who is ready.
Buuuttttt - on the other hand again, the boy is the one who left for that. And blaming a woman for your man leaving is misplaced blame.
I guess I’ve talked myself into being on your side.
The original makes sense for the time in her life that it was written, and the rewrite makes sense as an adult reflecting back on her feelings, perhaps wishing to undo some toxic naivety.
I brush mine in the shower.
The youngest of the patients at Alcor is two-year-old Matheryn Naovaratpong, a Thai girl with brain cancer, who was cryopreserved in 2015, reports Reuters.
“Both her parents were doctors, and she had multiple brain surgeries,” More tells the publication. “Nothing worked, unfortunately. So, they contacted us.”
This is a bit chilling. How do you begin to move on with your lifeif you’re holding out hope that your loved one will be revived one day? What happens to this girl’s body once her parents die? What happens if they beat the odds and master cryo and the girl gets revived in 100 years? That sounds incredibly traumatic.
No, it just feels like that because you can’t keep it up anymore.
