Not a big fan of it myself, but the best snack ever is some kettle chips and cottage cheese as the dip. It looks weird/gross, yet every one who has tried it has loved it. I usually sprinkle some black pepper on it prior.

The going in part was for their records. Apparently me checking at home wasn’t official enough for them.

Not at all. Just runs in the family.

I took a BP medicine called Clonidine for PTSD nightmares as well. I wonder what it is about them that help.

My biggest issue was having already naturally low BP, so couldn’t take it at the dose they wanted. Luckily, it still worked. Just had to go in frequently to have my pressure checked.

Spot on

Right?! We call it “The before times” now in my circle. It’s so stark, it’s similar to how everything changed after 9/11.

Ironically, in my bubble of life/friends there are two camps, like you stated and I am in camp 2016. I always use the night the Cubs won the world series as my benchmark ;) nothing has been the same since.

Just wanted to say I agree with everything you said. As a woman who has worked with the public for 30+ years I have never said yes to someone who asked me out while working.

This is really nice. Thanks for posting!

Kitty litter helps with traction and if you have room, some boards too.

My 17yo thought I was bullshitting him when we were talking about these jokes. He googled it and was speechless. I was kinda young when they were popular but remember vividly my uncle’s telling them often.

Diaspora

Oops wrong date! Meant 2053!

<After the war ended in 2053, humanity slowly began to rebuild civilization and the planet, eliminating sickness, hunger, poverty, and despair within two generations. Earth was mostly restored by the 22nd century as the United Earth Government formed, however there were still some lingering effects from the post atomic horror. Star Trek: Enterprise

This is where that paragraph came from (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Earth) Cool place if you’re into Star Trek

That would be nice, although remember what started it all in 2063 2053 :/

The world has lost /is losing a lot of food this past year alone. Saw an article that Georgia (US) lost 90% of it’s peaches this season, folks/farms from the Midwest and Canada either couldn’t plant at all due to lack of rain or what was planted has died already.

The dam that was blown up in Ukraine ruined a huge area of farming that has global significance as they exported a lot of grains and oil seeds.

Spain is facing over 60% crop failures and the third year without honey.

Cotton crops from Texas and Spain also at a huge loss.

I am sure there’s more, this is just off the top of my head. It’ll take a little bit for it all to show up, but we are definitely going to be feeling the effects of this by next year I’m sure.

Using on Android mobile has been a pleasant experience for me. Just added a shortcut to my home screen. But, I tend to not download an app unless I have to. Years ago when I was on Facebook and Twitter, I always did it that way. I never used their apps.

I am old-ish so I am not sure if that is why when I joined, it was very easy for me to find my way around. I say this because I’ve been on the internet since the '90s and have familiarity with hunting down what I need versus it just being there in an app.

Ironically, when I started on Reddit back in 2012, I quickly found bacon reader and have been using it ever since. It is one of the few apps I do use. And I will not be using Reddit any other way so I am here for the long run.

I recommend Khan Academy as well. My daughter got her geography degree in 2020 and is starting back this fall for civil engineering. She was worried as well after the break, especially since she didn’t need a lot of math with her first degree. Khan is what gave her the confidence to go for the new degree! It’s an amazing resource.

Some part of our brains knew we were losing the real people. It hasn’t felt right there in awhile. I wonder how many bots we were talking to thinking they weren’t.

I’ve commented more this week than the past year on there.

The comment I saw said it was experimental iirc.

With all the buzz this week I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to force everyone to the app eventually.

Exactly! I was a bit on the fence in the beginning, figured I would survive the demise of baconreader and use the web. Then they played the game with blocking the mobile browser, restoring deleted comments and resubbing, which is bonkers. Now with the latest news, there is no way for me to support this company. After 13 years I am done.

Seeing all the recent posts here about people finding themselves subbed to places they unsubscribed from, as well as deleted comments coming back is what sold me to not return at all.

I haven’t been back except for a few minutes on Wednesday. Most of my subs I was following were still dark. I had unsubbed from all that weren’t participating in the protest (unless for good reason) and may go back to see if I was resubbed, but will not stay. Have also been wanting to use shreddit to delete everything, just haven’t had the time.
