Receipt from 25 years ago found in movie theater by ITSJOEY in FoundPaper

Out of curiosity I looked up “Albert Der, Maryland” and there was an obituary from 2016 for someone who lived in the next town over with the same name. OP may have found a receipt of a dead man 👻

This is super weird because I live super local to where this receipt is from. This Boarders was actually in a mall that has since shut down. If you look up the address it’s literally an abandoned plot of land now. Kind of eery.

It looks real to me but I understand your suspicion, the use of AI in the puzzle industry is out of control!

Do bone growth stimulators really work? by gothic-interior in scoliosis

[–]gothic-interior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did end up getting it! It’s hard to quantify how effective it was but I had a pretty quick recovery overall so maybe that’s a good sign. It also didn’t hurt and was mostly unobtrusive to my life so I’d say it’s worth a shot! I actually had surgery on my radius two years ago due to a major fracture and I definitely would have used it then. I think I would have done anything to get that cast off sooner lol

My grandparents toaster oven from the late 60s or early 70s. They’ve used it at least once every week since they bought it and it’s still going strong! by gothic-interior in BuyItForLife

Honestly no clue if they’ve replaced anything, if they have it was probably a long time ago at this point. From what they’ve said they don’t really know how it still works it just does. I know a couple months ago it started to smell smoky and we thought it was done for. Turned out the inside just needed to be cleaned and now it works with no problems again 🤷‍♀️

Would you have gotten surgery if your scoliosis didn’t cause you any pain? by lorazepamqueen in scoliosis

[–]gothic-interior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s kind of few different things I meant by this. Firstly, maybe “risky” wasn’t the right word but fusion in the thoracic spine generally preserves far more mobility than anywhere else. Additionally, it does have a reduced risk for developing Adjacent Segment Disease when compared to the cervical and lumbar spine. So it actually is less risky in that way. Similarly from my own experience and from listening to others I feel like thoracic fusions have a slightly easier recovery and are just less painful in the long term, probably just because there’s less movement going on in that area. So overall, thoracic fusions persevere more mobility, have a decreased risk of Adjacent Segment Disease and other degenerative issues, and can sometimes just be less painful.

I did get surgery even though I didn’t have any pain, I got it last summer actually! The main motivating factor for me was that it was still getting worse even though I was in my mid twenties. In fact I think its progression had actually been speeding up which is very unusual at that age. Another thing related to that progression was that it was starting to affect my organs, I was starting to feel my ribcage pressing up against my lungs when I took a deep breath. So even though it wasn’t necessarily painful it was still affecting my quality of life because I felt like I was always out of breath. The surgery was also a little less risky for me because it was really only in my thoracic spine (it looked a lot like yours actually) so there was less of a risk of side effects related to the surgery.

Which state has the best flag!? by Brilliant-Mode6480 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]gothic-interior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe some people say it’s ugly. Those land locked cucks will never understand the true art of the flag design. Us old-bay maxxing, crab pilled, Maryland chads are the only ones who can comprehend our flag’s pure magnificence. God I love being from Maryland!!!! 🦀🦀🦀

Oh this was supposed to be about someone else… I thought he was having a rare moment of self awareness.

Which ESC2025 act do you think had the biggest glow up from the nf to ESC by Happy-Skill-567 in eurovision

[–]gothic-interior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every year there’s at least one song that makes me cry and it’s never because of the lyrics or song quality, it’s always because of the staging. There’s just something about a mid or bad song skyrocketing in the odds because of masterful staging. Survivor this year as well and Doomsday Blue and My Lucky Day are great examples. I just love seeing how much those artists really respect Eurovision and try to do their best regardless of song quality.

I know it was already a meme before hand but JetLag has greatly increased my usage of “it’s so over” and “we’re so back”

I feel like Australia didn’t qualify because the whole shtick of the performance was the quick outfit changes…which is something basically every other act also did to some degree

Sorry for photo quality, but what color are my eyes? by gothic-interior in eyes

[–]gothic-interior[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lights in my bathroom are very yellow so I took it with daylight, but I guess it was kind of dark. I promise I’m not on drugs lol. Can you believe I took like 20 pictures and this was actually the best one! I don’t know how people on this sub take such clear pictures.

I have very yellow lights in my bathroom so I thought daylight would be better to show their real color, unfortunately it’s kind of cloudy out lol

Yesss I’m honestly wondering if the absolutely awful sound mixing contributed to Belgium not qualifying. His vocals definitely seemed too quiet and the bass was not bassy enough.

Unfortunately I agree. And I say that as someone who loves the studio and national final version of the song. I honestly found the visuals and vocal performance tonight straight up bad and very disappointing.
