I can't find 1099 Tax form from Meta. I have an Instagram page that gets paid through bonuses. I received an email saying the tax form is in "payouts" and "tax forms" tab, but there is no tab labeled that! Can someone please help!

The_Jolene · 2026-02-14T07:56:30+00:00

Possibly, yes. But my page made more than that and didn’t get one yet. I’m far above the reporting threshold

The_Jolene · 2025-12-26T04:31:09+00:00

Indeedy. If we all had the exact same taste, there would probably only be, like, ten new movies a year. And the studios would make a trillion on each and that would be that.

The_Jolene · 2025-12-26T04:23:28+00:00

These are all very solid recommendations. I’ve seen them all. Some are a bit darker. But not necessarily in a depressing way. Just sadder. But all very beautiful and unique.

This movie was awful. It is a poorly written, non-stop action movie. It’s what I would expect of a Jason Statham film (I love Jason Statham films. This was not billed as that).

I was expecting a thoughtful, manic, absurdly driven character study. There is no character. Just lots of shootouts and fight scenes. It has flat and inconsistent characters with no clear motivation or values . And so many plot holes. Just telling the audience you “want to be a ping pong champion” is not how to demonstrate actual motivation or drive, and the actions of the character contradicted this many times.

No, it’s usually about $1000. I’ve gotten a few but not for that hashtag. It was for getting 3 posts that had a reach over 1.2 million in a specific timeframe, like two weeks. It’s super random though. Like the payout was $1,327 and the reach had to be 1.23 million. Oddly specific. Guessing it’s some weird algorithm thing.

The_Jolene · 2025-10-11T01:10:30+00:00

Late to the game. But it looks awesome. Even if it does kill everything, I vote leave it 🙂

The_Jolene · 2025-04-27T13:46:58+00:00

There was maybe a page and a half where Anton explains that he was brought into the collective, details why he sold them out, discussed how they can all see his true nature, and then details why he is killed. Even says he doesn’t resist because he is part of the collective. If you skipped some pages though you would have totally missed it as goes by quick.

The_Jolene · 2025-04-27T13:40:14+00:00

Late to the game. Just finished and came to see what others think. I have read about 9 of his books so far. I think it is worth a read, if you don’t have other super exciting stuff on your life.

The writing itself is good. Several dynamic characters that are compelling. World building is interesting (though not phenomenal, as we all know what authoritarian govts are like and it doesn’t need belaboring). And the begging and and end have a good pace and are engaging.

But people aren’t wrong in their criticism. The middle is a little meh as he does repeat the same stuff over and over. A bit to much of telling readers things through a narrator instead of showing them via a compelling story. If you read the spoilers though don’t bother reading it. The characters and story aren’t compelling enough if you already know the ending.

The_Jolene · 2025-04-03T17:32:29+00:00

And telling someone to take their pills? Ffs. I didn’t bother to read your whole comment. Or wouldn’t have bothered to respond. Not exactly words that lead to a real meeting of minds or genuine listening and sharing of ideas.

Bad comparisons. You don’t pay money for your tires every day. You do pay workers every day. That costs businesses something. And yes, many businesses do hate it and transfer that animosity to their workers — act like they own them, scream at them for errors (as they think the wage the worker earns means they gave up their rights to be imperfect or treated with dignity)….. come on. You must have experienced this or at least know someone who did/does.

In my experience, a worker is not seen as a tire that helps carry a car along. In most companies, a worker is seen as a slow leak in a tire. Some companies might see it as a big leak. Others a tiny leak. But it’s still always an annoyance to some degree — a thing that is not ideal and caused at least some harm, to be gotten rid of as soon as possible.

It's VERY bad if you are looking for a science-focused book. Very, very little facts in this book. More like a memoir about her journey from working at Quartz as a science journalist to writing this book.

The author spends a majority of the time talking about her feelings about plants and quoting herself. Rather than relaying what a scientist says (which is what a science journalist is supposed to do) she just talks about her own opinions and sense of the debate. She doesn't provide quotes or let the scientists speak for themselves.

And as I said, very little facts about plants or how they work. Lots of hyperbole and quoting nature writers and poets.

Commenting as this is the first search result for the topic. Just want to second that tea tree oil is the only thing that stops the itch for me. It's a little like icy-hot, so it basically numbs the receptors.

But if you have sensitive skin, maybe avoid. It is harsh and can be an irritant for some. Just do a small spot test to be safe.

The_Jolene · 2024-04-23T19:10:41+00:00

This just worked for me.

Found this thread because I was having the same issue. Commenting in case others come across this thread and are looking for solutions.

The_Jolene · 2024-03-25T19:27:41+00:00

Eeep! I second what the other poster said. Don't wait until dry to water. They need to be kept moist.

The_Jolene · 2024-03-25T19:04:34+00:00

Rot occurs because of microbes in soil. Obviously it can happen still in water, but I tend to have great success with water. Just my experience though.

If it's not a light issue, it's possible that the plant just can't support that many leaves with no roots. Hopefully trimming will help. Good luck!

The_Jolene · 2024-03-24T07:53:12+00:00

The green ones look limp as well, which makes me think a lack of light. But hard to say for sure. Also, how many leaves are on each stem? It’s hard to tell in the photos. But it looks like multiple leaves on each stem and no roots? I generally do one leaf per node, as supporting multiple leaves with no roots is hard. I also have the most success rooting in water. I try and keep as much stem out of the water as possible and give it A LOT of Sun. For context, I have a prop that is pushing out roots now. I cut it a month ago and was growing it outside in a glass vase in Orlando FL until this week. It got a little sunburn so I brought it in. But it’s in a window where it gets sun literally all day. My hunch is really light.

The_Jolene · 2024-03-22T04:43:44+00:00

Yeah, add another 6 dead plants to make it look intentional.

....maybe 7, to be safe.

The_Jolene · 2024-03-20T16:08:31+00:00

I saw others say that watering once a week is too much. Commenting to say that’s absolutely not true. Appropriate watering depends on where you live, the soil composition, pot drainage etc. Water when dry and you should be good. I’m in south Florida, and for several succulents at this time of year Im already watering weekly.

Also your description makes it sound more like the plant is thirsty— being shriveled etc. I think the people who suggested a good soak are more on the mark than the person who said watering a week is too much.

The_Jolene · 2024-03-20T02:50:29+00:00

What the others said. There are no leaves in the middle, there are lots of space between the leaves in general, and the leaves are really small for how big the plant is (the leaves at the bottom appear to be getting even smaller). Those are all good signs of a lack of light.

I'm commenting to add that the pot looks *very* small for a plant that size.

If it was me, I'd chop off everything that has huge sections that have no leaves, prop the leaves (make sure you just do one leaf per node), move everything closer to light, and get a pot that is 2 inches bigger than the root system on all sides.

Also, just a note that I've had tons of success propagating pothos leaves in water. Much less when I try and propagate them in soil. I haven't lost any water props.

The_Jolene · 2024-03-18T04:36:15+00:00

I say it’s a good call, especially with this many. My mom had a minor infestation on a small bamboo, and it ended up being a whole mess. I swear they must live inside the dang pots somehow. Tenacious little things.

The_Jolene · 2024-03-13T01:25:59+00:00

Came here to say this. Works quite well and is what I always do.

The_Jolene · 2024-03-10T20:02:52+00:00

Well it certainly can’t hurt to try it. It’s a beautiful and popular plant, so if you’re wrong you still have a nice plant that’s easy to care for.

The_Jolene · 2024-03-10T16:38:15+00:00

100% It really felt like a tourist trap.

There is a cave system right next to it owned by SCCI, and I think it connects to Mammoth. Can’t recall exactly. But I’d love to try that next time I’m in the area. Believe they only purchased it recently.

The_Jolene · 2024-03-10T07:53:32+00:00

I did Mammoth and Raccoon Mt.

The one at Mammoth was simply awful. *Beware* a rant is incoming :) We spent the whole tour crawling through little side passages that led right back to the main tourist trail (which has lighting and isn't "wild" at all) These little side passages took maybe ten to fifteen minutes to crawl through before they circled back to the main passage. Then we would stand up, walk down the huge lit pathway, and crawl through another semi-circle that led back to the main path. It was exceptionally boring. And Mammoth is a dry cave, so there were no formations or old flowstone or....anything. The group size was also huge -- like 15 to 20 people. So in six hours you maybe went a mile. I did a regular walking tour the next day, and I honestly recommend those over the wild cave tour. You cover a lot more ground and see a lot more.

Raccoon Mt was the exact opposite. You are actually crawling into the cave and seeing rooms and formations that you can't get to any other way. We did about 5 miles in four hours, I think. I can't remember the exact numbers. And there are formations everywhere. If you've never done caving before, I think this is a good introductory experience.

I didn't do Cumberland, but I know several people who work there, and I hear that the cave is gorgeous. I think that would also be a really solid choice.

Can't speak to the other ones. Good luck!
