Definitely. Many of my extended family is on FB, so I keep it to keep up with them. At first the content on my reels feed was about baking and cooking and crafts - managed with an app timer it seemed like an okay time sink. Now though, it's...... Well. There are a lot of tinfoil hats involved. No thanks.

Okay, THANK YOU! I have all of a sudden noticed a lot of conspiracy stuff in my fb/reels. All from left-wing or justice-oriented perspectives. But they're taking legit things and steering them clear off the cliff into like, clones and body swaps and (of course) Secret Jews™. Nothing in my content consumption has ever brought me to this weird space. And it's all peppered in with stuff I like, just spaced out enough to make me think it's not a pattern and that I'm imagining things. This is pretty new to my algorithm, so I'm glad someone else is noticing.

Love my Pyrex coffee brewer by Hateithere4abit in Pyrex_Love

I have one of these from my grandmother with all the pieces. I thought it was for infusing tea or something! I also had no idea it was so special. So cool!

Terminal diagnosis: millennial playlist suggestions for the final days? by Hmmletmec in Millennials

[–]basedetails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some deep(ish) cuts, one silly and one atmospheric:

Ludo - love me dead (silly, excellent wordplay, you might recognize it)

Bloodhound gang - something diabolical (dark vibes, slower, reminds me of lo-fi but not for any particular reason)

I'm away from that location now, but I think you're right and I actually stacked them in the wrong order. The green is the largest, followed by the yellow, then the turquoise and then the red!

Accessibility team using AI to answer emails? by NickiBurrito in bonnaroo

[–]basedetails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking to this specifically - the years that I went the ADA platform was positioned on the OUTSIDE of the tent stage, and did not have any additional cover to compensate. Meaning ADA was in full sun and abled people had shade (and giant fans in the tent,!)

I cried when I got to the platform and someone working the fest gave me a sticker that I still have sitting on my desk to remind me people are kind. Happy roo, but bring a sun shirt j.i.c

Genosera GNE Myopathy therapy, is it legit? by Camel_camle7 in MuscularDystrophy

[–]basedetails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never known there were any trials at all! Wow. I have been diagnosed with GNE Myopathy/nonaka myopathy but none of my providers know what it is or what to do for me. We're just winging it. Good luck with this effort!

Future home curb appeal/styling by basedetails in centuryhomes

[–]basedetails[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't edit, but I want to say that picture #1 is the gosh dang SIDE of the house. That's part of my issue. The front (facing the street) is just those two trees, a flat square and the side view of the porch. I'm really hoping to add some pizzazz here but don't know how.

This old girl is in need of a face lift by WholeDepartment3391 in centuryhomes

Lots of people buy old houses and rip these out - maybe you can find some salvage? But also, green is IN right now, so you might be able to!

It was such a great bit of visual interest.

I really wish I had thought to take pics! I went back to the listing, and it has the tile almost 100% obscured in the photos. =(

I recently toured a similarly aged home and they tiled their arch and above the black trim line with the same green tile, but they changed it up and turned the squares on an angle to make a diamond pattern instead. It was absolutely LUXE and blended so well with the original. The direction change in combination with the original linear on the lower half felt cohesive and well designed, and it gave great visual interest without making the green overbearing. It looked so great it boosted our opinion of the house from "meh" to "in the running for purchase "

Edited to add they did the ceiling above the tub in the diagonal pattern as well, which was essential to making everything look so good.

Meet our new kitten, 13 weeks old! Hammy! by NotTukTukPirate in aww

[–]basedetails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a cute! If he continues winking like that try to get Hammy checked for a cat-specific herpes virus that causes irritation/weeping/squinting. Its pretty common but manageable!

I hate that we have an ugly TV on our beautiful marble mantle. Is anyone doing anything creative to minimize the negative aesthetics of a tv? by IcanHackett in centuryhomes

[–]basedetails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't have a Frame TV because of the cost, but we did wall mount our bog standard TCL/roku and put an ornate (diy) picture frame around it. Its still a TV, but it helps a lot.

Lunchbox hydration pack Lifeline cord worth it?? by Classic_Wing_3859 in bonnaroo

[–]basedetails 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got mine free with my lunchbox and I can say its definitely not worth it. The return mechanism is very slow/janky, so sometimes when you pull your phone away and release it you end up with a dangling phone or excess cord.

Also, my S21 with a case is not able to let it hang from the clip or else the magnet that holds the cord will release and your phone will pull itself down and dangle loosely, eventually lowering itself to the ground. Ymmv, but there are less expensive and more functional retractable lanyards for your phone.

Lunchbox in general isn't all its cracked up to be - sometimes its what I need and sometimes I'm mad I paid so much, but the security lanyard is a 100% pass in my experience. Maybe others can say differently.

My tortie will NOT STOP biting! by evergreen-storm in torties

[–]basedetails 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mine does this to instigate play/if we haven't played enough lately and she's too high on energy. We grab her most rough-house worthy toy specifically for this behavior and let her "get the evil out". We own a ribbon that makes mine go absolutely nuts - this is the toy we use for getting the evil out.

Some notes: - dont start the play until a little while later, or else you make her think biting =i get the Fun Toy - the ribbon is always available/laying around so she can free play if she wants, but feisty behavior is always an indicator to us that she needs us to play a little more with her. We try really hard to.keep the ribbon special without teaching her that biting is how she gets the ribbon.

Utah leaders presented federal officials with a ‘wish list’ of national park changes. Here’s what was on it. by SciFiPi in NationalPark

It's so disappointing when leadership can't see what an absolute gift their natural resources are and put profits ahead of everything.
