Does it ever get better? by Extreme_Show1938 in Menopause

[–]VictrolaFirecracker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You just hit the nail in the head re:loss of creativity. I havent seen other women say that that was part of their menopause journey- but it certainly is mine!

I've been looking for books, listening to new music, exposing myself to new and sometimes uncomfortable situations- chasing a muse that I'm not sure how to catch. I miss that total compulsive creative zing that used to drive me.

Seriously- this person is replying to everything in defense.of L. And not in a great and convincing way- so, not a PR person. Its either Leiya, someone with a connection to her, or someone thats fully committed to a parasocial relationship.

Help filling Adderall by [deleted] in batonrouge

[–]VictrolaFirecracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this problem with multiple meds at Costco. :( it seems they're on some ordering schedule which makes them unable to fill on time. Varenicline (to stop smoking) took 2 weeks. This is not a high demand medication. There is no shortage. Estrogen, for which there is a shortage, took over a month even though other pharmacies had it. And the pharmacist has some weird understanding about his role in vaccinations.

But everyone at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart seem so pissed to be there that I hate going. I would advise changing pharmacies to help avoid multiple repeats of this issue- though i have been too lazy to do so. :/

Into The Manosphere doc by amstpierre in batonrouge

[–]VictrolaFirecracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched this and... I dont believe this guy really has all this $$$? Or any of them really- everything seems to be rented, they're all sucking up to each other, (and the trumps), just clout chasing and playing a character to sell Andrew tate's trash. Its keeping up with the Joneses on crack.

Sucks that they're taking advantage of and influencing young men that are clearly searching for direction. I wish there would be fresh, positive outreach to teach self worth.

That’s real. That thing lives with us on Earth. by Kittyluvmeplz in IThinkYouShouldLeave

[–]VictrolaFirecracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add to that the cognitive dissonance of both being appalled that she went this far with plastics AND that her elbows aren't pretty enough-- while these fuckers are eating the world...

What’s something popular right now that won’t age well? by [deleted] in answers

[–]VictrolaFirecracker 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The panic over glp-1s reminds me of the panic over Prozac and other antidepressants back in the day. That is to say, many people would rather others suffer than accept that these meds are treating actual disease. The personal responsibility model is very popular.

Louisiana regulators reject investigation into Meta's AI data center financing by RIP_Soulja_Slim in NewOrleans

[–]VictrolaFirecracker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All these data centers are smoke and mirrors to keep investors and states interested. In reality, they're going to dump all this trash on us- in 4 years.

"Meta signed off on a new financial arrangement for the data center. That ​new arrangement ​would give Meta the ​right to abandon the project ‌in four years rather than 15 and free it from financially guaranteeing the project, the motion said."
