Hey! When I was a teenager, we'd dance to the Elvis music and have all sorts of good times at the sock hop. Was a real shame when he died on the john and all that, but don't be cruel to this hound dog. Just take those blue suede shoes on down to the heartbreak hotel. This, I beg of you.
At least the lung/congestion part is because nicotine paralyzes the cilia in your lungs that push that nasty ass dark colored mucus up to cough it out. So when you quit smoking they suddenly come back to life and start frantically pumping that shit out, so you paradoxically start coughing even more when you're quitting.
Worse than this, ACTUAL people have started to comment like bots in order to match the social climate in which they are posting. You don't just have bots imitating people, you have people imitating bots. I just took a random comment off a video I was watching as I read your post.
I was JUST ranting about that on the USPG2 thread. I can forgive a limited vocabulary, but at least try to develop your position in a manner that people can universally understand. It's worse than people trying to sound smart by misusing words. When people do that, I invalidate whatever they said since I have to use mental gymnastics to translate their bullshit.
That's why I hate borrowing or lending money. When you confront them about the debt, they get defensive. Or, they act like paying you back is doing YOU a favor. I think of it like this, don't borrow money you don't have. A rule of thumb I have is if somebody I trust asks for money or a favor, just give it to them no strings attached. That would tell me that I could rely on them if need be and the inverse as well.
The dehumanization of the comments section is a fucking plague. It's no secret that you're given canned AI-generated responses to comments left on your videos, but this is a result of retards treating it as their job and not wanting the responsibility of actually talking to viewers.
I've lost a LOT of money in my life to bad loans made because I'm quick to offer people a one year, one grand loan when they are on hard times (or at least I used to be). Laugh at me for this if you want, but my mother made me promise to stop doing this about 7 or 8 years ago and I haven't done this since. I did let a tenant get WAY behind in his rent before I put my foot down. I had to raise his rent significantly to recoup my losses. I was renting well under market, but put it closer to market rates because the costs of utilities, insurance and such had skyrocketed since I first set his rent and I hadn't raised it since. I always hate hearing when people don't have AT LEAST a grand in their savings, so I have often floated them a grand or two to get their financial affairs in order in the immediate and set better budgeting plans for themselves to break themselves of the behaviors that got them in that situation. Predictably, this rarely works and I'm past the point of thinking I have to be the caretaker of the world. The amount of four figure loans I've made to only get partial repayment or complete non-payment is ridiculous. There was a real estate agent that would frequently borrow money from me for a month, invest it into touching up homes and would pay me back a month or two later. One month, he was asking for 2 grand, I limited it to one and only got 400 dollars of that repaid. That was the last loan I made of any significant size, less the 2.5K I lent to a friend 5 years ago and got repaid in full 3 years ago, but I knew he was good for it. I struggle with pathological altruism, which is not a flex, it is a stupid condition to have. I'm a lot better now, but I still struggle with the temptation to lend people money before they ask when they indicate low savings and having some level of financial distress. I used to operate on the false presumption that, if given the chance, they'd lay the framework to learn better budgeting and start accumulating savings, but this is stupid because if that were true, the situation would not exist.
A lot of people act the same on the Internet, I'm convinced of the dead Internet theory.
I bought a bag of salt when it was running out and now it's not snowing anymore. Can salt expire?
Once you notice it, you’ll wish you could unsee it—your YouTube experience is ruined forever.
It will literally never, ever expire. It can sit for eons and it will function identically. Worst case scenario is that it comes into contact with some moisture/humidity and you will have an imperceptibly lower amount of salt than you currently have.
Well, it's not salt, it's calcium chloride. Regular rock salt would damage the asphalt and concrete here.
Oh, I see. In that case, a quick google search tells me that it lasts 3-5 years if stored in a cool, dry place. If you use it next year or immediately get it in an airtight container and store it in room temperature conditions, you should be able to preserve it.
I feel you. I'll never loan - or even front - money again (other than to my blood kin if needed, but even to them, regardless of promises, I'll assume I'll never see it again). I've got an x-figure initial principal (nevermind interest) deficit that will never be repaid. Absolute idiocy on my part, understood. Bygones bc I have enough shit to stew about, and stewing helps nothing.
No, it will still be salty next year; you're fine. And what @Rick Nekieta said - 3 years no problem; 5 if you keep it from moisture. But it's sidewalk salt (CA chloride, whatever) - it won't blow up; worst case is it's a bit less effective if it isn't kept pristine.
Sounds like oil (from face, fingers, whatever) buildup - normal. Wash them with warm water and mild dish soap now and then (Dawn (original) is known as a good mild soap for cleaning all kinds of surfaces) and dry with a clean, soft cloth (OK, check to make sure you don't have some damageable coating first, but other than something crazy, should be fine).
Social media bots are one of the worst plagues on the internet. Someone I know made a brief good luck post in response to an announcement on a public figure's page only to receive two immediate likes on the comment by bot accounts shilling sex and other sketchy stuff. It definitely gives credence to keeping as low a profile as possible on social media if you choose to have an account.
Unbearable, isn't it? Makes you wonder exactly what the fuck is going on in their daily lives to need lolcow recaps/murder porn/disturbing Reddit thread compilations as a sleep aid or for a self-esteem boost.
