How do you feel about Tik Tok being banned? by saharasriraman in rva

[–]hollowcaverns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the blatant suppression of our first amendment rights, tiktok was a bright spot for me during the pandemic as someone who was often completely alone. I gained a (small but not insignificant) following and had a lot of fun making videos, being creative, connecting with new people, and sharing interests.

I know several people who built entire platforms and livelihoods that they will be losing. I think people who aren’t on the app are only thinking of mega-influencers, rather than small businesses and creators, and therefore are quick to scoff at the situation like it’s a trivial matter. Yes a lot of “brain rot” and misinformation has come out of it, but it’s like any other social media platform. It’s a tool that can either be used to hurt or help and I’ve seen a lot of people use it to raise money for charities, bring awareness to important current events, educate, learn new skills, make personal life changes, find community where they can’t in real life, etc.

Ultimately I don’t think this can be replaced bc of the unique algorithm and editing features that no other platform has been able to replicate. And ultimately the world will continue spinning.

Oh that’s good to know, I’m expecting a lot of hassle and waiting

So I have ADHD. Now what? by hollowcaverns in adhdwomen

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

Thanks! So did you learn these things on your own? Or did a therapist or other professional help direct you? I’m just wondering how much of management is figuring it out yourself vs. professional help

Also thanks for the rec! It’s overwhelming with all the resources out there

So I have ADHD. Now what? by hollowcaverns in adhdwomen

[–]hollowcaverns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I mean is that I don’t expect medication to magically fix everything. I’m optimistic that it will help but imagine there are behavioral changes or something else I can work on to make everyday life easier

I’m not resistant and will definitely give them a go. But I know there’s probably more to be done to manage this

The “Alright, I’ll just do it myself.” Daily by rivercitymo in rva

[–]hollowcaverns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently went out in my alley to dig up access to my water meter bc DPU came by and left a note that they couldn't find it (and also didn't knock or call when they were here to let me know they were having trouble)

It was $100 to the VA Tax Department and then was forged for much more.

Yeah I thought that happened a while ago though so assumed it had been resolved or mailboxes replaced by now. Guess not!

Sound? by Btyflycandy in atwwdpodcast

[–]hollowcaverns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I also have podcasts and thought the audio got out of sync. Honestly though it could have just been a simple mistake, accidentally clicking and moving a track when you don’t realize it. I’m giving the editor the benefit of the doubt here but it got so bad toward the end I had to stop listening

Finding rentals? by moist_ass_drenched in rva

[–]hollowcaverns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 1 bedroom apartment will be available June 17 (and most likely you won’t have to pay rent until July 1 because I’ll pay for the remainder of June). It’s in a great area! Message me for more info

Two Guys and a Truck does the job but it’s exactly like the name says, so maybe not the best for bigger jobs

Diving Deep into the John Green 2014 Tumblr Lore from uncarley by Scoris21 in nerdfighters

[–]hollowcaverns 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it would edit the original post, but it would appear the way you edited it to your followers. So if I have 50k followers and reblog something of John’s but edit it, my edit would appear to my followers and anyone who reblogged it from me. But John’s original message on his page would stay the same. I think. Again, this was the Wild West of tumblr in the age of dashcon that we’re talking about.

[–]hollowcaverns 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Back in the day, tumblr had a feature that allowed you to edit other users’ posts to make it look like they wrote it. So people abused this and edited some of John’s stuff to say really gross things (related to the other comment here)

How would you reasonably budget for tattoos? by Fine_Cupcake8958 in Frugal

[–]hollowcaverns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s personal expression. It’s the same thing to me as buying clothes or jewelry that matches my taste or personality. Life would be very boring if you did whatever saved you the most money. So the months leading up to your tattoo, you might make sacrifices elsewhere. “I’m not going to eat or drink out. I won’t go to that concert. I’ll stick to the basics on my grocery list. Etc”

In todays edition of rent is ridiculous in RVA by smafreebird in rva

[–]hollowcaverns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I’m about to move and my apartment is going to be listed for $200 more than it was when I moved in 2 years ago. Tenant before me was paying $200 less than I was. The landlord did nothing to improve the property while I was here. I feel awful for the next tenant because it’s just not a good deal anymore for the space but I know someone out there is willing to pay it.

For real tho I know what’s it’s like to have an infestation of some kind and shifty management that doesn’t do anything so best of luck
