For example, you're cleaning a room, your home or your apartment. And you find it defeating the purpose to dust things and wipe them down because, dust comes back anyways and eventually. It might not be as bad as it was or as bad as it could be, but you'll always end up with dust and cleaning dust is just a grand waste of effort and time.
It doesn't defeat the purpose if you have allergies. Also dusting prevents allergies by eliminating potential particulates etc. you can develop them anytime. I have dust everywhere in my house. I don't have a duster, but I have to constantly rewind certain things on shelves that I use. Not decorations though.
Many things will just keep getting dirty making you clean them over and over. The carpets, the dishes, your car-- it is all maintenance.
Dust isn't as important, though. But if someone in your house has asthma or allergies, it would be. I only wipe down dust on an as needed basis.
A good cringe-inducing thing is gatekeepers. Of music genre, fanbases, video games, any niche really. Saying there is a set criteria for being a fan of something, or being a 'practitioner' of a skill or activity. They act like something is a club or a cult and give it a generalization.
I wear my dad's classic rock icon band tees: name three songs, they demand. I could probably give you a line from one. No I don't listen to them on a regular basis. I have listened to at least three songs but not enough to recite their names. If someone donated or gifts you their old shirts from concerts--you wear them out of respect.
White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I'll include Eminem and I don't care if he's been given the pass.
He grew up in the ghetto around that culture. He wasn't pretending. I didn't know he used the n word in any songs. He may have used it in conversation idk.
Repeating song lyrics don't count bc usually you are alone anyway. It's a 'tree falls in the woods and no one there to hear it' situation.
I would love to hear how you handled it. I just have a note I reuse, an email my therapist gave me for anxiety so I could get out of it. I just change the date each time. Worked three times in a decade.
Oh I like the whole universe, but the creature in the main guide book "fantastic beasts" were what I liked more.
I like the moving stairs in Hogwarts and the magic map they use. Never read nor do I know if there was an actual novel for Fantastic Beasts movie. Just the guide book that was a supplement to the HP series.
There was also a quidditch rule book that was cool. I wish I could play quidditch. Even without flying IRL would be a creative challenge. No golden snitch. Just hitting quaffle into small hoops might be fun while running around a field or maybe on horses IRL.
I have a doctor that actually cares. If I had one that didn't, I would not stop until I found one that did. It's mostly getting the insurance to cover medications that they don't. The doctor usually spends the last hour of his day doing this, for me and other patients. You have to find a local doctor outside of a major city with less client base so they DO have the time. I am in the US. My deductible is very high but the medication I take is life sustaining and I can never pay for it. I have to do this every 6mo to a year: make an appointment and hope the doctor gets their way. Once they didn't and that is why I am at my current doctor. There is not much negotiating a patient can do calling the insurance themselves. They will just look and see you don't know what you are talking about. No matter how you complain about the symptoms, your financial burden, your family, or the fact of it being life-sustaining. Best to have a medical professional advocate. I have even tried with doctor letters and emails forwarded before calling. That is why I wonder what the doctor actually says that gets through.
The Dragonball Z universe. The setting would be similar to earth but with the existence of Capsule Corp tech, the lookout tower with the hyperbolic time chamber, sensu beans, and of course the dragon balls. Having the powers of most of the characters would be dangerous though, so without all of those.
But I also want the fantastic beasts too. That book is way more interesting! Same universe but less about the school and more about finding the creatures.
And your doctor will have to fight with the insurance company over the phone for an hour to do a pre-auth. When my doctor wants to perform something or give a certain treatment not covered, he assures me he will make this long and stressful call. I really wonder what they are discussing and what goes on in these conversations...
Some of them turn into gifs on the hosting platform but you have to search google and create an account. Imgur makes you give a phone number so I didn't make an account with them. I found pxlmo.com which only requires a name, email to make one that you can just make up and use a dedicated email if you wanna stay private. Pxlmo has a 20mb file size limit for videos. You can Google a site that lets you upload a video and compress it if it is too long. Then you just copy the link and add it to the description of your post. It will open in the in-app player on some of the Lemmy supported apps. I use Boost for Lemmy but usually you can't embed them. Lemmy on a browser will probably open a new tab. The reason I use image/video hosting is to remain anonymous because my real name is on my YouTube.
I bet the Atlanta one is way bigger than Camden. I went to Jersey in 2020. Empty during Covid.
Love the Jellies!
(If you post your video to an image hosting site like imgur, or there are some alternatives. If there is a video size limit, use an online file compressor to reduce file size.)
Lol, it was just a saying. Of course the ones that teach need to know it first. I really don't know where the saying really comes from. Just a funny common saying that came into my head when I read this post.
Stale chips. About a week or two past their best by date. They are very chewy and gross. But since I didn't wanna waste them or go to the store, I put olive oil on them and seasoning and put them in an air fryer for a few minutes. They were bomb. Now I do this with regular salted chips. Add olive oil, seasoning Parm cheese etc.
We need douchebags already so we can feel less of a bad person while the one next to you is being an ass. Lol. Keyword: feel.
