Aw, I hate to admit it but I feel sad to be missing place. I liked it

My home office is in my bedroom. I've covered what I can with electrical tape but the glow still comes through. Sometimes I just throw dirty t-shirts and socks over things

When I go to one of those directories, it seems to take me to a web browser. How do I visit one of those communities and/or subscribe to it in Wefwef/Voyager?

I found a pair of Wrangler pants on Amazon that has front pockets that are squares of fabric sewn on the outside and they fit my entire phone with room to spare. It's the first time I've been able to put a phone in my pants pocket and walk without worrying I was bending my phone.

This. My husband is approximately the same height and weight I am; we have the same waist measurements and if I'm being honest he looks hella good in my pants.

However, I can barely get his jeans over my hips and they're too tight in the thighs. Not too mention the awkward kangaroo pouch crotch area.

We both wear men's goodfellow PJ bottoms from target (because POCKETS) and I wear a medium, he wears a small because he doesn't have hips.

Consistently relying on weed to give you an appetite can make you dependent on it to feel hungry. Note how most heavy long term smokers you know are thin as rails.

If you happen to have this problem, however, a meal replacement drink like Soylent can be a godsend. It's pretty hard to eat a nutritious 2000 calories if you have to wait until you're really high at 9pm to start eating.

Yep. I I had no appetite, severe insomnia, headaches and sweats for about 1-2 weeks when I came off of my heavy use, decade long pot habit. It felt like the flu. I'm glad I found r/leaves or I wouldn't have known those were withdrawal symptoms that would eventually go away!

I never plan to touch the stuff again.

I've always explained it like: if porn and gambling can be addictive, how can weed possibly not be?

Lack of customization, lack of options, lack of compatibility.

With iPhones you choose from iPhone 1, 2, 3, or 4. They're all the same, and frankly they all suck. They're overpriced and the charger always breaks.

 

Sorry for the Facebook link, I hope you can view the video.

I noticed the horses in this video all seem to be "prancing" a little bit, like the riders are struggling to stay in control of them. Dozens of horses in this parade, acting similarly.

Every horse I've seen in a parade looks calm, mellow, or bored. So, are these horses excited and happy to be there? Or are the riders forcing/encouraging this behavior? Are the horses in distress?

For context, this is part of a festival in Tomato, Portugal.

As a 40 year old adult, this article contained some ideas I needed to read. "It's only 4 years," and the comparison to the great depression and WW2 were also comforting. I think we're in one of those moments in history right now, but it's really hard to keep that perspective.

Same. TBH, I didn't really pay much attention to all the protesting. But when Bacon Reader stopped working, I started looking for a new app.

This makes me sad. Information is being erased that will keep people who could've been helped by it from ever finding it.

The people who it will hurt the most have nothing to do with Reddit.

 

It's such a subtle shift they probably don't even realize it happened. But suddenly people stop reacting with joy and love when they see you and it takes a while to adjust to that

 

I'm using Liftoff but also checked out Connect and am trying to figure this out. (It took me multiple tries just to create an account so bear with me!). How can I find popular communities? I found a master list but it was in alphabetical order and wouldn't let me sort by subscriber count.
