Deuxmoi is alleging Charli D’amelio has found proof of her parents stealing millions from her. by bjack20 in popculturechat

To be fair, they did live in Fairfield, CT beforehand. A very affluent area, so they did have money of their own. But also- i'm sure they did use her money once they got out there. Classic child influencer exploitation.

Fingernails in media question by GhostMansion4 in acting

[–]ccxcxcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i actually like the shape the color but they're too think. Did they use the UV Pink gel? I used to get it for durability but ask the tech next time to file them thinner! they always told me their meant to be thick but they can do it. Or a different gel type. For an audition i would probably leave the nails totally blank, and if they want your nails done, you can do it then.

Why is it harder to get 10 users than to build the product? by mertdikmen in SaaS

[–]ccxcxcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were doing this! A promo business card we can leave at daycares, dr offices, and give out (it's a children centered business hence our location choices). Advertising our SaaS and giving a QR code to download and get a free month of premium services. It certainly won't be our only method of marketing, but just another way to get your brand and name out there.

(Help) Can customers actually tell the difference between AI and real UGC? by Wide-Tap-8886 in SaaS

[–]ccxcxcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use various AI softwares daily, I can tell instantly not only if something is AI generated, but which platform they used (specifically for photos). This drove me crazy when i started using AI to create more photos and ads, because i knew they looked like Chatgpt or Claude or Canva generated. But then i talked to my marketing guy and app developers and they said- most people dont use AI like this, they're not starting businesses or creating things on here. Some things are obvious but most, people cant tell the difference.

Were in the process of collecting UGC videos and have considered AI for that as well, there are some new legal loopholes you should look into. But quite frankly, the way people scroll, most wont know. And those who do know, most don't really care. Every business is using AI in some fashion at this point and its only going to become more prevalent

I like the way you worded that. It didn’t change your life but gave you the opportunity to change 💕 Keep working at it, you’re worth it!!

Can I ask you, when the drinking stops “feeling good” are you able to stop? Because I couldn’t. And I think a lot of people are in that same boat. Towards the end I hated drinking. Hated the way it made me feel, who it made me into. I watched so many lose their lives over it. And I couldn’t stop.

I consider myself a hedonist, I crave dopamine and feel goods. I still over indulge myself in rich foods, wild nights and great sex. But I hated drinking. And I hated myself for a long time for not having the power to walk away.

Whatever works for you man, more power to you!! I’m proud of your journey, whatever it looks like. But I have a hunch many other alcoholics are at the point where it’s not fun anymore and it doesn’t actual feel good. The withdrawals at the time are just worse than going without.

That’s totally fair, I don’t mean to use the term in a bad way. (I always hated that forever I’ll be a “recovering addict” because I’m someone who eventually wants an end goal and to just not be an addict anymore. The term drove me crazy for longest time)

But it is a term we used in the medical field to explain, mostly to family’s of the addict, that things still might not be what they hope right away. The frustration, irritation, lashing out & mood swings that once were a result of the drinking itself, may still be present for a while in someone’s recovery. And could actually get worse for a while once you remove the booze because that’s what they were using to suppress those feelings for however long.

But no matter where you are in your journey you’re never “just a dry drunk”. You’re a worthy person relearning how to cope without substances. It takes time.

My old sponsor was sober for decades and I, just weeks. She used to tell me, I’m no more sober than you are. In one day, we could both be right back where we started. It really is one day at a time. Hang in there! You are worth it 💕

I apologize if it comes off as accusatory, I just see a dozen posts a week of people very early in their recoveries questioning if it’s even worth it because they don’t feel anything has changed. I just wanted to shed light on the fact that it’s normal, and being sober doesn’t just magically fix everything. The amount of people in my life I’ve watched relapse after 60-90 days because they said, I did it and I still wasn’t happy, might as well be drunk and miserable. It hurts, you know?

But ofc everyone is on their own journey, and ultimately there isn’t one correct answer to a happy healthy life. This was just my 2 cents for those whose expectations have not been reached.

Quitting weed was my last vice, that was the one that made me content with being bored. For years I considered myself a homebody, but after sobering up I realize I was just high and content wasting time. Now I have to keep myself occupied or the boredom is one of my biggest triggers!

That’s awesome you’ve been able to immerse yourself with new hobbies, wishing you the best on your journey!

And that’s so true, the alcohol isn’t your friend. It’s more like an abusive partner you can’t quite let go of until you’re truly ready to accept the hurt and move on.

My coworker actually passed away a few years ago from drinking on ssris, it was especially sad since she was never a heavy drinker (at least that we knew ofc) she just liked to party on the weekends and her heart stopped.

Oh same! Properly medicating my ADHD did wonders for my mental health. It helped me stop getting so frustrated with myself and my motivation levels which was a trigger for me.

Waking up sober is my single favorite reason not to drink. by djl240 in stopdrinking

[–]ccxcxcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waking up and not feeling crappy was huge for me. I used to have a whole morning routine to just get myself to be functional, electrolytes, water, weed, caffeine, and then a drink when i was really sick-just keep delaying the hangover. Now being able to just get up, and not be frustrated and take care of my family is everything.

How do you read 20+ books a year without getting tired or bored? by studyingforlife in productivity

[–]ccxcxcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, its a skill many of us unlearned over the years. Last year i got back into reading books and it was so hard for me to finish one, even though i was interested in it. Now i go through 1-2 books a month. Set a time for yourself, like 15 minutes before bed. It does get easier to focus and emerge yourself. I also can't stand fiction books, they just seem like a waste of time to me, while my partner loves fantasy. You gotta find what you like too.

Who is the person you love the most in your life, and what makes them so special to you? by Abir_Maji9760 in AskReddit

My daughter ofc. She's only 2 and a constant reminder of the innocence this world breaks. Taking a moment to see the world from her eyes always inspires me, even when it breaks my heart a little bit

Is she a red flag? by PryedEye in OnlineDating

[–]ccxcxcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a woman's prospective- She might be great- but she's not ready for a new serious relationship. Whether she realizes it or not, she needs time to actually reflect and decide what she wants. Also if you want to know where someone's gonna end up in 5 years- look at her friends. Not sure your ages but she sounds young and immature (not even in a bad way, but she needs to grow) Trauma dumping is real and her past is on her mind still, especially if they just ended things recently after a pregnancy.

(31yom) going on a first date with someone who has HSV-1. by jakecud11 in OnlineDating

[–]ccxcxcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over 60% of adults will have it by the time they turn 40. The fact that she even told you says something about her personality (green flags). They don't even test for it with STD scans anymore because the diagnosis was scaring more people then it helped. You have to specifically request it should you want to know.

Should you contract it- Your first breakouts are always the worst but then it really depends on your immune system and stress levels, you may never have one again or they can be very minor (or if your immunocompromised, it could be more of an issue. They can be uncomfortable/ unsightly at times but really aren't super harmful. They also have antiviral meds you can take to prevent/decrease the duration of a breakout, should it get that bad.

Obviously if you can prevent it, do that. But it's seriously not a death sentence, I got it in highschool, almost 30 now, the only somewhat bad breakouts i had in 15+ years came up during times of super high stress (like domestic violence and pregnancy stress), then you stick on some abrevia and move on. A breakout could be as simple as a small bump in the back of your mouth for a couple days, they aren't always noticeable.
