Yeah I don’t get what the issue is with notification sounds.
I’m not sure what it is, but ever since I got a more modern phone, the vibration motor has just gotten so weak compared to older phones I’ve used. I legitimately do not feel my phone vibrating in my pocket.
So when I’m at work, if I’m expecting a message, I actually have to turn the sound on and listen for it as opposed to feel it vibrating. I hardly get any notifications tho.
I tried the whole exercise shebang. I’ve actually been more consistent about it than I’ve ever been in my life. I started running back in March and I had never done it before! I kept waiting and waiting to get the mental benefit people say you’re supposed to get out of it…but I never have. Honestly I was going through some huge shit and the supposed mental benefits are why I picked it up in the first place. The only thing it has really give me is something to do and occasionally a brief distraction (altho I have been able to be upset while running so it’s not even always distracting).
The other day, someone at work was telling me how wonderful they feel during/after a run and it was just wild to me…I’ve only felt that maybe a handful of times ever. Is that what people normally feel when they run?
I don’t get a “runner’s high” or other mental benefits from it. But I keep doing it because I feel like I’m supposed to now. Overall I find exercising rather unpleasant.
Do you think the mental benefits will ever happen for me or does my brain just not work the way that other people’s do? I’m getting close to the 1 year mark now since my running journey.
I’m not Olympian by any means, but this makes me feel a bit better about my running. I’ve never really run before but I have been trying to do it semi consistently since March. For whatever reason, while I’ve been able to run longer and longer distances, I never seem to be able to run much faster. I tried a couple of times the other week and I almost threw up after one of them lol. I think I’m just going to have to accept that I’m a slow runner! I like running at my own comfortable pace better. Idk.
In some places, people also give out phones to the needy because of how cheap they are. Somehow my mom’s boyfriend got one despite him not being poor…I think it’s because he’s old and retired.
I don’t even think physical activity helps. I started trying to run in March. I still do it relatively consistently, but it doesn’t seem to do anything. I have no suggestions. Other things I do are turn to alcohol, harm myself, or act like a crazy person around people. None of it helps lmao.
Never used it until recently. Now I use it to vent because I’m a crazy person.
When I have idle time for thoughts to enter my brain is when bad things happen.
What if we don’t agree with the compliment?
There are certain degree paths where it will net you a specific career path. The healthcare field is very particular about the specific degree/certification/licensure you have. In that regard, schooling makes sense for those.
Well I just ate a buttload of cookies
This is only tangentially related, but I just wanted to share a random anecdote.
I ordered a mobile pickup order at my local Taco Bell with their app. Since it’s nearby, I walked there and I had selected in store pickup. I walked inside and waited for a few moments. The manager comes out and this interaction happens.
Manager: “Inside was supposed to be closed. Idk who unlocked the door but you have to go through the drive through”
Me: “Oh uhh I already paid for an in store pickup through the app.”
Manager: “You have to go through the drive through.”
Me: “Uhhh…can I walk through the drive through? I walked here.”
The manager looks at me in total disbelief that someone would do that. “You don’t have a car???”
Me: “I mean I just walked here.”
Manager: “Ok hold on I’ll get your order.”
Lol. She looked at me like she had never heard of anyone walking some place to get some food lol. Granted I live literally a 5 minute walk from there which is probably not really the norm.
Believe it or not there are a lot of foods on the planet that can be made of a lot of different things. Someone literally told her that it wasn’t made of nuts when she took it, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility for her to think that it must be some other ingredient.
Get off your high horse and stop jacking off to the unfortunate death of a literal child who was told the wrong thing.
I don’t have a nut allergy. I have seen baklava. I didn’t realize that the filling was nuts. It is not at all obvious to me visually.
She was young and asked what it was and what was in it. Someone told her the incorrectly that it was made without nuts. She trusted the individual who did so.
I believe there was a time when you first learned what baklava is. You are not born innately knowing. Considering she was only 17 and also living in the US, I don’t think it’s odd that she hadn’t heard of it or come across it yet.
I mean, I guess I’m stupid too because I didn’t know baklava was made of nuts. I don’t think it’s necessarily right to make fun of a teen who must have been anxious, embarrassed, and panicking.
Choking victims also often run away out of embarrassment and panic. It’s not a good idea to do so, but our brains are more complex than knowing to always choose the correct action all the time.
From the article, it sounds like the school knew about her allergy. It also sounds like she told them she started to have an allergic reaction. It also sounds like the school allowed her to just leave following all of that.
I’m not saying suing the school is necessarily correct. But she was young and the school didn’t respond with urgency, so she didn’t either.
I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do if your job truly is that terrible. I know changing jobs isn’t easy or necessarily doable, but it seems like that’s the only “real” option.
I like going to work every day to see some of my coworkers.
To me, CBT has always made it feel like my thoughts and feelings are not valid. As someone who has had invalidation problems with these my whole life it makes it feel really offensive.
I know people get great things out of it, and that’s good. But yeah not for everyone and (unfortunately??) it’s the “trendy” thing with therapy nowadays. I just wish there was a therapy modality that acknowledges one’s thoughts and feelings as valid, even if they aren’t perfect, and instead finds ways to work with them instead of against them.
Many are compatible, yes, but I wouldn’t say nearly every one is compatible. My laptop is from 2018 and is not compatible because Microsoft doesn’t like my processor. Despite the fact that I’m sure it would run win 11 just fine.
My laptop doesn’t support upgrading to win 11 because of its processor. You can hack your way around shit like that, but it takes some doing.
Dollar Tree has essentially always been like that. It was never really there for “deals” because of what you mentioned. Usually the items were just smaller packages of things which is why they cost less to begin with.
But it has always been fantastic for certain kinds of items:
Birthday/greeting cards. They are always simpler and of lesser quality than at other stores. But is anyone really going to keep your card for a prolonged period of time? If they do, it’s probably because of what you wrote in the card to personalized it, not because the card was fancy. I’ve seen greeting cards go for up to $10 in some drug stores which is pretty wild to me. Yes, they are more elaborate, but does it really matter when the cheaper one suffices?
Gift bags. Same dealio as above.
Wrapping paper in very particular circumstances. They have significantly less wrapping paper in the package than at other stores. But I find sometimes it’s a good thing if you only want to wrap a present or two with that style of wrapping paper. If you want to wrap many things or if you want to use more of the same paper in the future, then I’d buy elsewhere to get a larger quantity.
Letting kids pick out some cheap crap from the toy aisle.
For basically anything else, it’s not worth it imo. But the above have always been where it shines.
Do you think it’s a modern phone thing? I used to always be able to feel my phone vibrating. But when I got a new phone several years back, I was frustrated to find that I couldn’t feel the damn thing vibrating in my pocket and I’d miss calls and texts.
