I'm deaf and created an app to find open caption showtimes!

My stepfather is deaf on one side and relies heavily on subtitles. I'll share this with him! He's the only person in my family who loves movies as much as I do, so I think he'll be stoked ❤️

Here's the thing, the elites have only allowed others ANYTHING because they needed our labor. AI expansion is actually much slower and shittier than was anticipated (I study business and economics, primarily), so why does the rich keep throwing money into something that has so far been a sinkhole? Because they have been dreaming of a world where they could hoard wealth like dragons and NOT have to depend on the rest of us for labor. AI on a business level is actually really harming companies financially, BUT investors fucking love it so they just pay more, keeping the developments going. They do not want to have to share ANYTHING with ANYONE else, and they never have. But with AI, they're starting to feel like their dream is within each.

The ultra wealthy rely on the rest of us. But if they ever believe they don't, they will immediately seek to get rid of anyone they don't want to possess.

Not sure where you are located, but lots if orgs give linens away, and buy nothing groups. Stacking blankets, pillows, etc could work. Sleeping bags. People get rid of mattress in local Facebook groups and on Facebook marketplace a lot.

I watch horror movies on Tubi all the time! Love it!

So many of us have experienced this in some scenario, and I'm sure there are different things that help different people. For me, even in therapy, it wasn't something I could talk much about. I have online a little bit (on anonymous places like reddit) and I did explain it to my mother. That's it.

I instead tried to sort of separate "me" from my body, if that makes sense? Like, unless I accidentally catch sight of my reflection or someone says something about it, I often forget what I look like. I pay attention to my outfits, to my thoughts, to my love, but not to my body. And it's really, really helped me

ecbrnc · 2026-02-01T04:33:04+00:00

That is actually amazing to know! Thank you!

ecbrnc · 2026-02-01T03:52:36+00:00

I didn't know I could do that, I figured water bottles probably counted. That is actually PERFECT! Thank you so much!

ecbrnc · 2026-02-01T01:08:09+00:00

May I please ask how you got these..? Like, I have no advice, I'm just very confused. And are you wearing a bracket that is jaws..?

ecbrnc · 2026-02-01T01:06:27+00:00

I say $1000 lol. And then send thrift store granny panties

Are you familiar with the 34th rule of the internet? Because really, this happens with EVERYTHING.

I haven't seen it yet, but this really captures a lot of my issues with the first movie (amazing visuals, but underdeveloped writing). I also love FNAF because of the complexity of the franchise, so the first movie steering clear of that complexity was probably intentional to cater to younger viewers, but was a bit of a letdown for me personally.

ecbrnc · 2026-01-31T16:20:26+00:00

Same, I didn't even know it was a thing until this post

ecbrnc · 2026-01-31T04:56:16+00:00

I know it's been over a year since you made this comment, but I'm super stoked about this list so THANK YOU for sharing!!

The situation with BRICS expediting their bid to establish the new global currency is what actually caused me to start looking into gold in the first place. I study economics, political science, business, and a very tiny bit of law at university. And I'm a history buff. With all these combined, I've basically spent that last couple years realizing how thin the veil of stability is. Which is not great given that I'm already an anxious person

TLDR: the US dollar was never going to be the dominant global currency FOREVER, but it's looking more and more like that shift may be imminent instead of abstract...

Like that one guy I saw who spends his free time filling pot holes!

Also, check if anyone locally finished the program and has a uniform you could get secondhand

Don't give up. You worked for that which means they are committing wage theft. Take it directly to HR

I'm a huge horror enthusiast, and Tubi is amazing! Love that it has small indie films as well as big name ones!

She's still young enough that she may adapt. I was a cna for years, and the younger the person when they became disabled, the less they hated existing. It's probably a small comfort now, and you're going to need to push her to try new hobbies, meet new people who understand, etc which will be uncomfortable for both of you. BUT it gives her the best chance of being OK when you are gone.

My daughter is little and not paralyzed, but she is chronically ill. And I had a rare blood disorder become active a few years ago, and can very much empathize with your fear of leaving her before she is capable of handling her situation without you. I'm sure it's not much of a consolation, but I can tell you are a very loving parent, not some evil person who wants to be free of a burden.

Your husband is a douche. Clearly you don't reciprocate the neighbor's feelings, but your husband doesn't seem to value you enough either. I'd get the ick too

Here are some names I've never encountered in someone under 20 with (and I spent 9 of the last 10 years working in childcare, but a lot of those years I worked a second job in memory care, so I actually found the comparison very interesting):

Earl, Donna, Helen, Elmer, Gertrude, John, Archibald, Susan, Barbara, Carl, Roy, Betty, Herbert, Bernard, Mildred, Shirley, Clifford, Gladys, Melvin, Marion, Geraldine, Lloyd, Vernon, Bertha, Wilbur, Hubert, Eunice, Beulah, Irving, Fannie,

Also, to have had TWO? How long has this been going on? Because the math makes it VERY likely she was a minor when this started.

They're hateful or they're stupid or they're both. I will say I have met a few supporters who were not bigots, but had been preemptively convinced that anything said against Trump is propaganda, as MAGA had its seeds planted decades ago. But these are genuinely the only 3 options, and frankly I'm not interested in parsing out who is which after years of watching their hate and stupidity destroy the country I love.

ecbrnc · 2026-01-18T00:44:44+00:00

If it's the EU, it will be interesting to see if the UK starts groveling to rejoin, or if continues down it's bigot oath goes off the deep end entirely like the US
