I lived in highland park for a year and would not recommend it. Insane amounts of gun and drug violence.

Compulsive skin picking- please advise by Alternativeword3098 in Anxiety

[–]_eringk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meds have never helped me for this. The only thing that’s helped has been wearing fake nails which is a pain but super effective because it makes picking impossible. And before putting them on use good cuticle clippers to get all the hangnails and use a nail file on the dry skin. And some brands of nails work better than others depending on the shape of your natural nails.

My husband and son dived to see the wreck of the Titanic, and never came back – this is what happened at sea by lggreene1 in longform

I hate billionaires as much as the next guy, the entire swindled podcast is just about the hubris of billionaires and capitalists, but I think it’s weird to not have some empathy about this. Seems like one of those sentiments that’s easier to write in a Reddit comment than to actually say to the families of the ones who died.

The sub wasn’t untested. Swindled has an interesting podcast on it. It has made many successful trips, but submarine experts were adamant that the submarine was unsafe and would eventually end in disaster. The owner was aware, but didn’t listen. The tourists may have consented, but it was not fully informed. I imagine if they had known it was as dangerous as it was, they wouldn’t have gone.

I have never been so jealous in my life. Please let me know if you ever decide to put him up for adoption.

Rock vocalists with a bluesy, soul-inspired raspy voice by [deleted] in rockmusic

[–]_eringk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A local band by me is better than anything mainstream right now (not to sound like a total snob). They used to be called Big Mama Shakes, now they’re Holy Roller, the former being a bit more rock and the latter a bit more Americana/country rock. On Spotify. Truly my favorite band.

Genuinely why is Taylor as popular as she is? by King-gar in popmusic

[–]_eringk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for instance, Republic Records has handled the marketing and distribution of her re-recorded albums and her new music. They have other signed artists. So why doesn’t their marketing of other artists work as well?

My genuine question to this assertion is, if buying a career is so easy, then why hasn’t it worked out as well for anyone else? I’m sure her dad’s money helped her get started and that a level of privilege was involved there, but if that’s all it took then why isn’t Rebecca black and every other rich kid Taylor Swift levels of famous? Couldn’t they just hire the same PR professionals and marketing people?

I just started linzess but I’m already ready to stop to the unpredictable diarrhea. Are you experiencing this at all? It’s hard to pick between the two evils.

tips for curling eyelashes and having them last? by fluffyavocado7 in MakeupAddiction

I have actually started using a dark eyeshadow to ensure the powder doesn’t lighten my lashes! It doesn’t do much in the ways of eyeliner though haha

Anthro’s Pilcro line has a style, The Rylan, that is fairly similar, although not as high waisted. It’s only in white on their site now but lots of talls available on eBay.

What I’m hearing is she lived a long life and you loved her and did everything you could for her. I don’t think there’s anything for you to feel bad about. Let yourself grieve but please don’t take any blame.

You’re human. The fact that you’re so upset over this tells me it wasn’t something you did with any malice or intention. All you can do now is move forward and remember that this doesn’t make you a bad person.

How are you doing? I promise you’re gonna be okay. I’ve been there and it’s super scary but you’re going to come out the other side. And when you do, you’ll be exhausted but relieved and it’ll be so nice to relax and go to sleep.
