lol. TikTok is absolutely NOT where you want to be then. I suppose you should ask yourself why you care about trends if you’re trying to live more intentionally.

As for giving up completely, imo it’s like people that go on hyper restrictive diets. It’s unrealistic. They fail every time. A reasonable amount of time on social is fine. It’s like ice cream, or a glass of wine. Once in a while is totally realistic. Spending all your time doing it is bad.

@pieceofcrazy

Yeah, totally in agreement. Dude was always a horrible, dumb, asshole.

I mean, he wanted to blow a nuke up in the atmosphere of mars, to change said atmosphere to be habitable to humans.

He also overrode engineers on Tesla's autonomous driving, and forced them to only use cameras, and zero sensors (like every other manufacturer knows doesn't work)

He bought twitter for far too much, and we are witnessing him kill it slowly.

I could really go on and on. He's always been a moron, and a horrible person. I really don't understand why anyone ever thought otherwise.

Oh, and should we mention that he tried to cosplay as a poor person, who started these multibillion dollar companies from nothing (this one is kinda disputed, but the only source that claims that he really was broke is musk himself)

IMO anything with that horrible foam (most shoes at this point) is going to last a year TOPS. In fact, running shoes with foam, are supposed to be limited to around 300 miles.

If you are talking about something like a half cab, that has the standard vans soles, yeah, I agree quality has gone down some (same with those new chuck 70s). They feel cheaper, and are made from far cheaper materials.

Personally, I have tons of shoes that are decades old, and still going, but I do not own any shoes with foam (mostly chuck taylors). And I'm apparently not very hard on shoes, somehow.

I think the unfortunate reality is you'll have to buy some expensive, high quality shoes, or expect to throw shoes out yearly.

There are companies like this one who claim to resole running shoes, but I don't know how far they can/do go, and have never used them before.

At this point, because I've seen the show, I'd have to go back and re-read all the books, to even start Winds of Winter. It's all so mashed together in my head, I don't remember the real story very well.

I've also accepted that he isn't even going to finish the books.

Guess you need to ask yourself how you see it improving your life, to answer that question.

IMO, no social media will improve your life, in a meaningful way. They may kill time, or seem like you're benefiting from them, but in the long run, they are propaganda/data collection machines, and nothing more.

Um, maybe I'm an idiot, but isn't that called murder, or at least infanticide?

Yoga, and strength training (core, glutes, hamstrings mostly) is all you need to do, unless you have some underlying physical issue.

@jacktherippah Probably, but you will also probably have to teach them to use it, and not the couch. Plus, they love to get up on high places, so if you get a tall one, they will enjoy climbing it.

BTW cats seem to LOVE that fake leather (real leather too, but I think they like the fake stuff more), so it may be a bit of a battle.

I'd guess the change on cervical exam was the nurse/doctor that did it. But as we get older, there is less natural lubrication (probably why they use gallons of lube on the speculum). If it happens next time, mention it to the doc/nurse. They can give suggestions for making it less painful (assuming they don't suck, and tell you it's all in your head). IIRC where you are in your cycle can also play a role (don't quote me on that).

To answer your original questions, I think they generally get more invasive, so yeah, but as technology has improved, exams have become far less awful overall.

Totally. As I said, I always knew the answer. In fact, I said it on the place that shall not be named, and all the seat pissers all got their panties in a bunch. Which got them all trying to flame me.

Still gross.

Already know the answer, but how do women even possibly piss on the toilet seat? It SHOULD be physically impossible, unless I’m an idiot and doing it wrong.

Yup. Apple Watch for me. It works mostly seamlessly with the rest of my Apple stuff. I don’t think any others do.
