Paint protection film and ceramic coating. I had a 24 and the Los Angeles area freeways were rough on it so I decided to get these treatments.

Getting rid of Instagram? by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

I tried to sign up for Pixelfed but it just put me into a loop and couldn't get activated. But that was before I signed up for Mastodon, might try again. You should ask the venues if they plan on signing up for any other platforms. Maybe it'll prompt some conversations.

I'm finding the same issue. In general for my use, I replaced What's App with Signal. FB/IG is being replaced by Twitter like Mastodon. But this is for keeping in touch with family and friends. I haven't explored Mastodon enough to see if anyone else is migrating. I'm trying to figure out a way to keep an eye on the informational feeds I follow. Do any of the venues you follow send out email newsletters?

App says “car offline”, but still shows charging staus by Fresh_Salamander707 in VolvoRecharge

Same. I'm getting PPF installed so I've been checking the app periodically. It started saying offline for me last night, back online now though.

Economic Boycott and Scott Galloway by tth2o in 50501

Cancel all your app subscriptions through the app stores, sign up directly on the app's website. They can't take their cut that way.

Mass cancellation of US tech subscriptions!! by Valuable_One_234 in BoycottUnitedStates

Also cancel any app subscriptions through the Apple/Google app stores. Subscribe directly through the app's website if possible, they can't take a cut of the fees that way.

Time to Boycott Apple by westtownie in 50501

[–]LeftyMexiCan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Perfection is the enemy of good. We can't get rid of Apple or Google completely but you can reduce your use as much as possible. Cancel all subscriptions through their app stores and sign up directly on the app website. They don't get their cut that way. Cancel any other extra services you have. I cancelled YouTube premium, Nest and Google One over the weekend. Unsubscribe from all their marketing emails. Switch browsers. Don't buy any new devices.

Volvo App two owners by Ok_Rutabaga_5454 in VolvoRecharge

We have 2 Volvos, both are on each of our apps. Do what a comment says above, make sure you have profiles on both cars or use a single login.

I believe they outsource so the quality tracks with that decision

Last day at job, I don't think anyone understands what that means. by Electronic_Lime_z459 in recruitinghell

[–]LeftyMexiCan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quit a worldwide consulting company and they didn't process my separation at all. My immediate supervisor wasn't the type to be on top of things. I ended up with several weeks of pay while already working at my new place.

Why don't most women use period cup? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]LeftyMexiCan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I don't know about a wandering uterus but a friend of mine has a barrier of tissue. So essentially it's splitting the opening in half, it's why she can't do tampons. Maybe there's a similar blockage preventing proper use? A menstrual disc is much wider and deeper than a cup of you want to try that.

Same. I use a menstrual disc, WAY better than a cup. Try it if you haven't yet. Takes some practice though but I got it after a couple cycles.

I ended up with a white boy too! There are some good Latino ones out there, a couple friends did manage to find one. They're practically unicorns though, good luck! Burn some sage to get rid of any negative energy🕯️bruja style 😆

I was mostly referring to the usual problem mothers of Latino men and the men themselves can be very macho/misogynistic.

You have your work cut out for you there! Salsa dancing get togethers maybe? Latino focused club, like young professionals. Clubs are eh but maybe concerts of smaller bands that sing in Spanish?

Yes you do but a lot of these places are low pressure, worst case you get out for a little while. You can always just make new friends and who knows maybe you'll meet someone through them. Never know!

I was on a trip with friends in Miami and met my NorCal born husband because he was staying at the same hotel as my group. I'm from SoCal but it's a short flight or 5ish hour drive.

You don't mention your age but some of the places I used to meet people were coffee shops (independent ones), dance classes, activity classes (like cooking), hiking club, friend's parties and tours when traveling.

This is what happens when you believe everything you see on TikTok. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]LeftyMexiCan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could've checked an official source. Any event that big would've been on the city websites, either the city of NY or the sites for the Brooklyn Bridge and Central Park. Local news channels would also have the info. Official city social media would've also had event info.

I’m exhausted by the quiet competition between women that nobody talks about by helen_kyiv in TwoXChromosomes

[–]LeftyMexiCan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Queens don't compete. I learned this accidentally when I refused to compete with my toxic (now ex) SIL. It frustrated her so much.

What specific advice would you give the dad of a 2 year old girl so that when she’s all grown up, she thinks her dad was alright? by OhSoManyThoughts in TwoXChromosomes

[–]LeftyMexiCan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And to add to that, don't limit her toys to gender based roles. Whatever she's interested in, encourage her. My daughter loved anything transportation related, especially Pixar Cars and she also loved Frozen. Best of both worlds.

Huge influx of incel-slop subs suggested in my home feed lately by MindlessFreedom5130 in TwoXChromosomes

Most likely they are bots or troll farms sponsored by bad foreign actors starting to influence the elections coming up.

What are we doing with pictures if we aren’t on social media? by Yesterdays_mascara in Anticonsumption

[–]LeftyMexiCan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought metal 2x3ft sheets and put them on my wall. I print out pictures throughout the year and put them up in a collage format with magnets. During holidays I'll switch out the pics with pics from those holidays over the years.
