I feel this way about music too. Not just pirated tunes, but copyright takedowns on shorts and in yt vids

Finding new artists as a fan is hard enough. If someone has reposted your music video as their own, sure I get it.

But a minute clip or less? Fans or haters talking about it? Let that thing fly free baby! I’ve found so much new music that was background music. I use the family Spotify account or buy merch more than I buy music these days to support.

I’ve bought so many books from authors that became my favs after they did a free epub once that got my attention.

There’s always the “do this thing free for the exposure” problem - but people who say that are usually trying to exploit artists for their own gain. Fans are different, they are grass roots and not trying to exploit, but trying to recruit.

Afraid of being asked this irl and dropping tmi. But since this is the Internet…

I’m 52 and going through what feels like a 2nd fucking puberty. I’m feeling creative again, but this time with panic attacks, and enough experience to own the Art of Procrastination to a level that matches Gojo’s Limitless. I’m dodging that shit like it’s effortless until the last possible moment and then crush it. So far.

I have so, so much to worry about, I’ve shorted out. My brain is simply in denial so I will probably have a sleep paralysis panic attack again soon.

At least there’s some good stuff too and I’m clinging to that. And my hyperfocusing/fixation on stuff has come in handy, even when using to avoid other things.

I’m from American south, I’ve always said and heard “kwest-chen” - now I’m sitting here saying it over and over wondering how much is regional accent

Yeah, my step-son is planning to adopt if he and his fiancee want kids. Climate isn’t the only reason, but even before he ever met her, he told me he’d rather adopt than bring more people into the world.

Plot twist, best friends got married just to get you two to meet

Thank you!

Adding, we are not young.

Similarly, my husband has tattoos and a beard. He’s also in chronic pain from old injuries and some other health issues. He doesn’t drink or do drugs, barely takes OTC stuff either because it interferes with his medication for HBP and stuff. Staff and doctors usually assume he’s drug seeking and just want to send him home without trying to help.

Finally found a doctor that actually sees him and not his tattoos and tries to help. It has taken years.

Thank you, I think I’ll have to. I wish it was a setting I could choose to turn off, like nsfw photo blurring.

That is a beautiful image and I like colorful language, I’m not offended by it. I wish I had known beforehand. Changing will be a pain I’ve been getting a curation I like here, but the censoring is getting annoying.

Thank you for your response. It’s weird the words that get censored for me so it’s been throwing me off

Ah, thank you. Lol

Did you really say "removed"ass? Because if you did not, I do not understand the censorship filter on here. If you did, it’s funny.

I missed what he has to do with used cat litter. Can someone enlighten those of us that aren’t caught up?

Also, at the risk of being a killjoy, wouldn’t the package have to be marked as a biohazard? I’m not sure it would make it through screening to get to him. A lot of loose pet hair from shedding would be cheaper to ship and get everywhere.

Another reply acting like this is a dumb thing to remind people. Maybe I’m dumb too.

But we used to have a fan that blew air across the bed. Husband loved it, I hated the feeling of air moving across me and would be buried under blankets to avoid it.

After a medical procedure he was sleeping in a recliner for a few weeks while he healed.

I adjusted the fan and ceiling fan so they move air around the whole room, just not directly across the bed. I can sleep without barriers for air tickles, we get the white noise benefit, and the room feela cooler. It works for him too this way when he’s in there and keeps him cool enough (I’ve asked)

Before that I had just assumed you had to be directly in front of a fan to get the benefits, especially when it’s too hot outside for the AC to work effectively.

This requirement is what stalls almost all constitutional changes. The last three to pass were 25th 1971 about voting rights for 18 year olds (100 days to pass) the 26th in 1967 about presidential succession (just under 3 years to pass) The last last one (27th) was added 1992 after almost 203 years of meeting the other requirements (It has to do with sitting Congress not being able to raise their own salaries, increases are delayed to the next term. )

There are 6 amendments still sitting out there awaiting ratification by the states.

Thank you, that sounds like my kinda vibe!

Death Note? I just watched the first episode last night (I’m late to anime)

If not, what is it, and should I watch?

I think they mean how Fiona becomes Ms Shrek

Anyone have a link to a video that’s not copyright struck?
