I think its like $10k for in or out of the US and items of value

TUL pens. Super durable as I click my pens from anxiety and I havent had one break on me. Write very smoothly too

I agree with the speech thing and apologize. There are just same people that are very flamboyant where I live because they are proud and should be.

As I have said before, I dont think I would be able to tell. Theres nothing to do to blend in if you’re just yourself 🤷‍♀️

I was going to say how would I be able to tell your sexual orientation?? Just act normal. Its only a bit more obvious when someone has a more flamboyant affliction to their speech or dress with a clear label on their clothes that they are LGBT+

Our friend had his phone opened on IG. A random picture of an Asian girl with literal “airbag” boobs popped up, rather naked. Those boobs were so artificially inflated though that it reminds me of an AI image.

We now clown him constantly

I wonder if you can put a headphone in. Have your phone live translate to at least follow conversation? And maybe have your SO translate your responses?

No cut off. AI may have some books out there but not all. There will always be authors out there like Martha Wells, Sanderson, john Scalzi and even new debut authors all the time trying to write. Agree with other poster, you’re only going to miss out by limiting yourself

I think it depends on where you live but mine is ATT Prepaid. I pay $300 a year for 16gb, though I only use <5GB month. I have tried:

• RedPocket (Verizon) - Depolarized too much for data
• Google Fi - Might be better now but when it switched from a Sprint and TMobile tower it used to drop the call… I havent tried it in many years
• Verizon - My favorite but I wanted to stop paying so much $$$ Mint - Cheapest plan I had because of sale ($7/month for 6 months). But TMobile service for me where I am isn’t great so wasn’t worth.
• Cricket - Loved it but just a little more expensive than ATT Prepaid

Mine is similar. Just a day with my husband and dog and I will be happy.

I just finished Only Murders in the Building. I love it. Its a whodunit with Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. The whole cast always feels to me like they’re always having a lot of fun!

Life in Pieces too!! Def ended too early :(

Wow! I didn’t know so many people liked the chocolate oranges! I can’t say ive seen a lot of people eating them.

Masters in Nursing. I had a bachelor’s in something else so it was really for the nursing degree. Cannot be a nurse without a degree. Turned out great for me. California pays RNs very well.

However, I dont always believe higher education is the answer for everyone. Everyone is different.

What school really does IMO at the very least is train people for some basics:

• Follow directions (prompts/assignments)
• Meet deadlines
• Communicate (Essays, presentations, etc.)
• Basic Office skills
• Capacity to read, process, and learn new information
• Retain new info (tests)
• Collaboration (group projects)

So if someone does well in school, I hope they can do the above well.

Another fun trick I learned in sales is that if you’re trying to get someone to purchase something, instead of having them focus on whether or not they should get something, change their question to something else.

For example, I used to sell phones. Instead of having people try to figure out if they want the newest Samsung or not, I would take the phone in two different colors and ask if they liked it in blue or black instead. Putting it in their hands let’s them imagine having the phone already and the question changes from should I purchase this phone to what color do I want?

I’m quite sure this can translate to other questions and decisions people ask themselves

So similar thing I learned in sales. I avoid using the word “help” because if you ask something like “is there anything I can help you with”? The word “help” subconsciously makes them feel like you are implying they are weak, vulnerable, and need assistance. Where as if you ask them “is there anything I can do for you”? The word “do” has a more positive connotation and implies that you are offering a service or a gift, which more people are likely to agree to.

I find the Fdroid offerings dull personally… I just podcast or audiobooks instead.

But if I were to play on my phone, I normally like games that are also available on consoles. This can be Slay the Spire, Stardew Valley, and Vampire Surivors.… Vampire Survivors may slow down your phone but some of the other ones should be okay.

Theres also Peglin!!

Maybe but none of us saw it, even my friend who eventually became her friend later on and into adulthood… I met her mom at least twice and she was always nice and seemed very attentive, concerned about her daughter.

We also grew up very affluent. They were too.

In middle school, there was this one super unpopular girl that gifted me acne medication for Christmas… Unprompted. We weren’t even friends and yes, I had acne problems like most teens did.

I never bullied anyone in my life before and since, but I did that year… This was why she was so unpopular. The year after, she called 1 of the 2 only black kids the N word, got her ass kicked and either removed or expelled from school.

I have no idea why anyone would go around picking fights, especially with no friends to begin with. Before anyone asks, no, no mental health issues.

Edit: I also wasnt “popular” and had very little friends too. I mean, it wasnt right either way to turn bully either but I was young

Sorry for linking back to the R word. But FIRE comes to mind with your post

Agree and disagree. Things that bring joy are worth it (as long as it can be afforded). However, I never think food delivery are worth it unless its a group order or someone is physically or mentally unable to pick up their food. Its much cheaper to pick it up yourself. Also, these food delivery services are absolute vultures and take too much of restaurant cut. If you want to support your local eats just go to them directly.
