Nebula does this. I really like the platform except there aren't comments. Sometimes I like reading the comments on a video
These are so cool looking!
So small!! Look at them go
Ya, feed trolling is often the source of a lot of stress and outrage. It's designed that way
That's awesome!! Thanks mids and Penguin :)
Disclaimer: living in USA. I used to doom scroll a lot a few years ago... What helped me was initially leaving the feeds (head in the sand as you say), but this was not a good permanent solution. Since then, I have done a few things that have helped (your mileage may vary depending on what you're trying to stay informed about). The first and easiest was to switch how I was getting my news. Now, I will get international news from different country's sources (ie:https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/world-int.html or https://www.channelnewsasia.com/world). I'll swap up which one I go to each day normally. It's interesting seeing world news from different perspectives. If I find a story that is particularly interesting, I'll look more into it. Secondly, I believe it is often more important to be aware of your local news than anything. To that end, I follow quite a few local sources of news. Most are hinted with my interests (urbanist improvements, community meetings, local discord servers), but some are more general. Also, I listen to a few podcasts not aimed at news, but as a queer person consuming queer media I occasionally hear things I didn't know. Promptly, I might look into it more. My motto is if something sounds really crazy, it's probably being misconstrued. You're never going to be informed on everything, but if you want to get less biased news, there are ways. Hope some of this helps in any way
Not to add to your fears, but wisdom teeth surgery is also where a lot of people first interact with prescription pain medication. Depending on your situation and doctor, you can receive anything from higher strength ibuprofen or Tylenol to Percosets. Try to be mindful of how powerful pain medication is and if you can have someone you trust with you it's even better. Overall, it's not a very scary procedure and you'll be fine :)
Gorgeous!!
I appreciate all the responses! I think we just need to be firm when asking to bag. Often, there isn't a bagger so my partner will start (he used to work at a Target so he's pretty quick and particular), and an employee will come over and take over even if he insists he would prefer to bag.
I've had FedEx deliver my package to a vacant neighborhood home. By the time I went to get the package, it was gone. FedEx did a "thorough" investigation and found that they delivered it correctly. I appealed and never got my money back.
Plus one for Invisible, Inc. It's like XCOM but spies. Such a great game from an awesome developer. One of many of their games that I've got every stream achievement for.
In a lot of countries (Northern Hemisphere) Summer is the holiday season, but that has never been my experience in the US. So it might not be as strange from that perspective.
