Honest question, why should I be paying for a music streaming app when I already have YouTube premium? Also, does no one use Pandora anymore? I still use it occasionally.
Same great Dharma, new SolarPunk packaging!

If you want to care for an animal that needs it, but can’t afford it, check with your local animal shelter. There are often local orgs that need people to foster Pets, and will provide food and vet care while they’re in your care. It’s an amazing feeling, helping these animals find their forever homes. But it can heartbreaking, too, so make sure you’re emotionally ready for it if you do it
Bulbs v switches is actually why it took me so long to get them to begin in. Having bulbs, inherently disposable things, full of tech seems… Less than ideal. But where I live, the electrical is rough. Like, we have 1 circuit, the light circuit. Everything else is messed up and turned off at the box, including all the 220s, except for the water heater. Run everything off power strips and have to turn everything off to cook. Lol. I don’t want to mess with the electrical in this house. I want to move. Lol
In October of last year my mom came home from the ICU, now unable to get out of bed. I replaced all the bulbs in the house with smart bulbs and put the fans on a little smart plug thing. It made me really like the idea of home smart home features, but I’m not techy. They’re just Alexa enabled for her to use with the fire stick, and I use google home on my phone for em.
Can you offer any advice for ones that don’t require internet? Every time our power goes out (any time there’s a storm), I have to go around and reset them while they flash at me like the worst night club
Pee dreams can feel crazy real unfortunately lol
Nah, plenty of kids bedwet at that age. I had a few incidents around that time. I’ve also, as an adult, twice had a dream where I thought I was peeing and it seemed too real. Once I barely made it to the bathroom, once… Well, pee happens, I guess. Lol. D:
My most lucid ever dream turned into a terrifying figure of a witch/crone slamming me in the chest while screaming “you’re not supposed to be here!” And waking me up. Scared the shit out of me. Didn’t try again for a few years. Everything was fine, but as soon as the woman in the field saw that I was lucid she changed. On several occasions dream characters had become irritated with me when they realized I was lucid, but that one… She made me afraid to sleep again. I know that’s not rational, and I know there’s nothing actually supernatural going on… But damn did it freak me out
That’s called a reality check, and it’s a pretty common for lucid dreaming. The one I went with was placing my fingertips over my nostrils and breathing in through my nose. If you can breathe, you’re dreaming. Picked that one because it’s inconspicuous, just looks like you’re scratching your nose. But the idea is to get into a habit of it so frequently that it’s unconscious, and something your dream self will do. If you do it in a dream, you become aware because you’re so conditioned to it, and you’re able to start lucid dreaming. Works pretty well.
Also, good on you for being so aware of what you needed to do! I don’t know if most kids would have come up with that, and that’s super clever and mature.
I have no idea. I’ve got some lidocaine viscous they gave me for the pain. I’m lucky enough to have medical, just not dental. But from experience, it helps temporarily numb the surface pain, but if it’s in the root, or if you’re pulling the tooth, it does not help.
My first thought when I saw the headline was “Can it help me pull this tooth without it hurting so badly?”
That’s the gig, man. A buddy of went carpenters union and made freaking bank with no degree
I’m lucky, I have a decent social circle, and I see them just about as often as I want. I’m just so much of an introvert that I don’t often try to see anyone. I’ll finish the bachelor’s, and if I can do it, I’m going for an MFA after. My grades are amazing, so I’m pretty confident. The part that scares me is being without her, not the finances. I’ll live in a car if I need to, I’ve done it before. Work night shift security and park somewhere semi safe and I’ll be fine. But the idea of not having her is absolutely terrifying. My whole life she’s been my best friend, and it’s really scary to see her not able to get out of the bed now. I know people say their parents are their friends, but I mean it. We talk about everything, play games. Anything happens, she’s my first thought. Major Mama’s boy. Haha
I’m really sorry you’ve lost both your parents, and that it’s been a rough transition. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of work do you do? If you’re in the US, security pays kinda shitty, but generally above minimum wage by quite a bit, and most sites are so easy you can do whatever you want at work, video games, movies, or even college classes if you’re so inclined. I wish I’d signed up for SNHU when I was still doing security, I’d have that MFA by now, but my dumbass never thought I was able to handle college until I bit the bullet during the pandemic.
I mean, it’d have to go better than my attempts at learning Spanish. Lol. 5 new years resolutions in a row!
I wish I spoke German. That’s exactly my type of humor. Lol
What is zangendeutsch? Google isn’t giving me much in the way of English answers
I’m half way through a bachelor’s at 33, and we’re working on applying for a home loan through the USDA. But honestly, I can’t really bear to think about it. She’s my life. I don’t know that I’ll make it through that.
We’ve been poor my whole life, and my mom is disabled. Our income consists of her disability and my paycheck, that I get from the state for being her caregiver. While I could never do this, she has literally asked me to do this out of concern for me should anything happen
I wish I had sexy feet pics to sell…don’t no one want my feet pics D:
The second one fits with a nonlinear view of reincarnation, and also with a non dualist view.
Yes. I see people with multiple subscriptions, including like yt and Spotify, and I don’t understand why. Lol Do the offer services offer something other than just ad free listening that you wouldn’t get with yt music?
