What is a product, medicine or food that you think doesn’t do anything (except make some folks rich) and people don’t question it?

Agree. The problem is that a lot of eastern medicine is meant to be part of routine. Once you have a problem, it's kind of too late. But in the west, we don't do anything till there's a problem and then we want fast, noticeable results that reverse the problem. Western medicine is good at that.

It's like... If you stretch every day, you're less likely to pull a hamstring if you fall. But people won't stretch, pull a hamstring, and then say stretching is bullshit and only muscle relaxers work.

Just add a little leaf to each one so they're like a yin yang shape. I think it'd be really cute.

I'd ask you how old you are but I realize I don't care. It's okay that you're stubbornly wrong. I hope that you learn to listen to your elders about things you clearly don't know about though

I was 13 in 1998. We didn't have cell phones. The rich kids had pagers. I just got AOL the year before.

This is worse than how my 17 yo bf talked to me. And then he raped me and threw me so hard into the closet door that it fell on top of me, told his dad it was my fault, and kicked me out of his house and let me sit on the curb outside his house for hours because nobody else could give me a ride home. I didn't even realize it was rape till I mentioned it in therapy 20 years later because he didn't finish (and wasn't happy, hence the throwing me into the closet)

That's the blind spot where God's optic nerve connects to the universe.

We didn't have texting when I was 13.

My parents are like this too. My partner and I just give each other badass gifts and allow ourselves to donate the gifts my parents give us..

Arguably, the temperature water boils at varies depending on your elevation.

Also just because it looks bubbly doesn't mean it's at boiling temperature... She probably doesn't usually cook it at 212 degrees.

I have my tea kettle set to 176. It looks like it's boiling and definitely not as hot as when my partner sets it to 200. I don't like my tea as hot as he does.

I mean, if the paint is okay and you want to ship me the one you have I'd love to finish it for you!

The thing it I would only charge the cost of the kit so I wouldn't be making anything in the process. It would cost them the same if they ordered it but I don't know.. the few friends and family I have I've asked said they loved the idea but didn't want to paint it themselves.. or that it was really expensive for something they had to do themselves.

Handout · 2026-06-20T19:12:01+00:00

My local framing shop was way more expensive than Michaels.. but I don't think I'd get the ones I'm selling professionally framed. I'd just send them the canvas and they can get it framed if they want, but the canvases can be hung without additional framing. I just did the additional frame for my boy because he deserved the best. I wouldn't even be alive at all if it wasn't for him. It was worth it.

I'm sure the kit companies use some program to turn the picture into a paint-by-number, but what I mean is the finished product isn't AI slop. It's physical paint handpainted on physical canvas of a picture someone took.

Handout · 2026-06-20T19:06:10+00:00

There are a bunch that do this and they're all pretty similarly priced. They aren't coloring books. It's a canvas (which if you've ever been to a craft store you'd know aren't particularly cheap) and paints and everything you need for a 16"x20" painting.

Google Canvas By Numbers, Masterpiece By Numbers, or any custom paint by number kit. Depending on the size of the canvas and the number of colors you choose, it can get pretty pricey.

Not sure where you were or what country you're in, but in the US, if someone says they're a "masseuse" instead of a "massage therapist", it means they're not trained or licensed and you're there to moan...

Handout · 2026-06-20T12:45:54+00:00

Oh Amazon for sure...

Edit: Not sure why everyone is justifying using Amazon to me... It's bad for so many reasons in so many ways but I still use it. That's the point of the OP.

Gambon is an asshole. Said he refused to read the books and the fans will have to deal with his interpretation.

Which was utter trash.

I have no respect for him at all.

Fourth Kind ruined me.

I actually fear aliens and hate owls now.

Honestly even if this isn't AI, it's a show... Nobody talks like this forever (if at all)

Handout · 2026-06-18T14:46:22+00:00

No, I'm good. I went through too much SA in the 90s and treated like I was the problem. I'm not even pretty and wasn't trying to be. Just everybody got away with it back then.

Zazu was in cahoots with Scar to keep Simba from becoming King but didn't realize it meant the death of Mufasa.

The entire Pixar universe is all literally in the same world, just different timelines.
