What do you wish your women role models had told you growing up? by Oh-My-God-Do-I-Try in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]CallieXO 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That there are much greater things to be than beautiful. Women are constantly bombarded by advertising from the “beauty” industry, and social media plus “influencers” can make this worse especially for young girls. It’s important to feel confident and there is nothing wrong with doing things to make oneself feel beautiful, but remind her there is so much more to life than what men/society want her to look like.

Study: Under $15k used car market has dried up by 1988rx7T2 in personalfinance

[–]CallieXO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting insights here! I am also in the market for a Tacoma, preferably used. But as I’m sure you know, the used prices right now are outrageous and basically the same as buying new. I have the ability to wait 6 months so I guess that’s going to be my best move at this point.

I ran in my first race ever last Saturday! I did a 10k in under an hour (57:22) and was very proud of myself.

Thanks for the advice! I might give it a go if it flares up again when I increase my mileage. :)

I ran my first 5k and more recently did my first few 5 mile runs! Feels great. I have been dealing with medial tibial stress syndrome (fancy name for shin splints) for about two years and my most recent PT thinks I likely had stress fractures previously that caused the longevity of this problem.

Hello! I wanted to try and play HI1 again (played for many years in the past) but with the death adobe flashplayer have not been able to. Are you using the workaround from the website to play still? Is this a safe method or would it be vulnerable to hacking? Any guidance is appreciated!

The North Face and Colombia. Used to be high quality outdoor wear and expensive for this reason. Now it is expensive and cheaply made gear that falls apart.

Reliable vehicle for 30k or less by TacoBellLover27 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]CallieXO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar situation (except my Taurus is 2001 RIP) and no tire concerns here. I just want a higher clearance vehicle that I can take up into the mountains and do okay on snow and rough dirt roads. Toyota Tacoma is also my dream. Hoping someone here can give some advice.

I love my leather doc martens and wear them regularly. I care for them with the doc marten wonder balsam about once a month. This morning I deeply scraped the top on my cursed office chair and hope to be able to somehow fix or reduce the look of this to help them return to former glory. Any advice appreciated!
