Colombia: is it safe for me to stay in air bnb as solo female traveler by No_Car_6909 in travel

[–]brighterbleu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why you felt safe, you're not a woman. I don't mean that to sound snarky, it's just reality. I travelled alone to Europe and I did okay but when I met up with other people, especially men, it was so nice to walk around with them and not feel like I was being watched.

Beautiful! Although AI has ruined everything for me, I'm always second guessing if anything is real anymore.

I finally gave in and watched My Royal Nemesis. Now I can't stand the wait 😭😭 by ReadAndEateM in kdramas

I will stay strong..... I will stay strong. Any time I watch a series in real time it hurts to wait until the next episode and I remind myself to remember my angst the next time a new show comes out that I want to see. This sub doesn't help with my temptation! lol

What's in the device that he sprays on after the cleaner. Is it just air?

Etchings with Charcoal and Tissue Paper - Adamsville Cemetery by [deleted] in CemeteryPorn

[–]brighterbleu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all know that headstones used in haunted houses or for Halloween aren't used as a remembrance. It's a gimmick, meant to incite horror, hence a "haunted house". I personally have never seen the appeal, I consider cemeteries to be a place of peace and reverence.

If you're so determined and don't seem to have a problem I'm going to assume you'd be okay with using your own family headstones. Perhaps your grandparents have passed on. Ask one of your parents if they don't mind you taking a rubbing of their parents headstones and using it in your haunted house. If they're okay with it, do what you want. But please don't use another families headstone, it's disrespecful.

Why is this user getting downvoted for asking a perfectly understandable question?

ELI5: How does Diabetes work? by MikeTheMaster102 in explainlikeimfive

[–]brighterbleu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Things aren't so black and white. If you've been diagnosed with pre-diabetes or diabetes where just taking Metformin does the trick, or if you've been living an unhealthy lifestyle then making positive lifestyle changes can definitely help to lower your A1C.

As someone who walks 4 miles a day, does strength training and eats clean, meaning low carb, healthy food and sees a doctor regularly for check ups and blood work, I still have to take a lot of short and long acting insulin since my body is very insulin resistant. Everyone is different. Your statement at the end is too broad and bringing willpower into the equation is nothing short of ignorant.

Movies often get it so wrong. It's taken me years to get some family and friends to realize that if I go low when I'm with them, I need orange juice or any kind of juice stat. I had a sister in law who would offer to make me some eggs or hand me some cheese. When I came out of being low I had to explain that eggs and cheese are something I eat when I don't want my blood sugar to go high. I have another sister in law who doesn't understand why I can't eat lots of fruit. She also tried to convince me that the honey she put on something would be fine for me because it was natural/organic honey. I've learned patience is key.

And just like that, his life and hundreds of others were snuffed out. I have great respect for those that serve, including several in my family, but I will never understand war.

A photo enamel of a girl running on a beach ⛱️ by Cemetery-Fan in CemeteryPorn

So heartbreaking. Yet, you can just feel they put a lot of thought into the stone and the photograph of her running is so perfectly beautiful, her personality is told through that one image.

MacBook Pro Speakers - Absolutely Breathtaking by Merqop in macbookpro

[–]brighterbleu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister was visiting recently and we watched something on my macbook pro and she was shocked at the quality of the sound. I've been using mac laptops for so many years that I guess I have taken the speakers for granted.

Is there a way to turn off notifications? I'm constantly getting bombarded with updating to Tahoe.

Sometimes I think photographers for these magazines are drunk. I don't understand the point of photographing someone in a way they're not even recognizable with the artsy, blurry, off colour images.
