It's a small win but after months of agonizing over my contract end date and a million rejected job applications, I got extended for another few months. Honestly just a huge weight off my shoulders as I desperately needed a break from the job search and was only a couple weeks away from the end date. Plus, it's looking likely they'll be able to make my position permanent by the end of this extension ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝ

Why does this picture look like an early 2000s punk rock cover except with actual assholes instead of punks pretending to be assholes

Seconding racists, but also probably those LGB without the T people too

I live in a suburban more than totally rural area but we have lots of trails and bushy areas around. Usually they just set up tents on the side of those trails. Walked past a guy who had an entire cot set up and was just napping on the side of a trail midday the other day. The benches in our area are also less anti-homeless than the ones downtown so I don't doubt people sleep there at night.

I saw a video of one guy (who isn't homeless but does urban camping on YouTube) set up camp in the middle of a roundabout with lots of bushes and I think that's honestly probably one of the best spots where people wouldn't find you/call cops on you.

My brain somehow didn't grasp that I had never heard of a Homepod before, then when I saw your comment I had to think back and was like "wait a second, Siri? That's not google or Alexa" and I had to reread to understand.

Anyway all to say, I'm tired and not reading well but their advertising must be pretty shit if this is the first ad I've ever seen for it.

I had been doing this also, but it is wrlng. My physio told me you're meant to be eye level with the TOP of the monitor not the middle, such that your neck is straight but your eyes are fixed slightly down.

Both images in the graphic are wrong.

I had a really bad coffee stain on my front teeth. Had tried the crest ones for a while but they weren't helping. My hygienist did some treatment and told me it'll probably come back because of the texture of my teeth, but told me to use the crest ones a few days ahead of a special event if I wanted a touchup. Stain came back.

Went to the dentist for an unrelated issue and my dentist noticed the stain, literally filed down my tooth in like 2 seconds and for free, and the stain has never come back again, lol.

When not in the mood for talking, singing bowls for sure.

When my brain can't stop and I need a distraction, either the sleep with me podcast or welcome to nightvale. Sometimes Sleep Whispers but that one can be over stimulating for my lil ASMR brain.

I'm not vegan or vegetarian anymore because I have a lot of allergies that prevent me from eating plant based anything. But I also try to limit it to locally and ethically harvested when I do eat meat.

I identify as agnostic and definitely don't believe that any one living being is better or more special than the others (except maybe cats).

Yeah my sister went to India a few years back by herself and while thankfully nothing terrible happened to her, she said she would never go back. Just walking around she said the streets are majority men and they are not shy about staring at any woman (especially someone who was clearly a foreigner). Of course, parts of the trip were cool but definitely not the place to be travelling alone as a woman.
