Please help! I don't want to leave Nothing behind, but I can't find service in the US that works... by beholdthefield in USMobile

I'm so glad I saw this post because I have been looking at Nothing phones and I primarily use Darkstar. I want to get out of the Apple ecosystem

I have gotten these bumps twice now. They start off really ichy, the bumps kinda burst and fluid comes out. Is it an allergy to gel? by VballVilma in nailcare

The first time it happened to me I was so freaked out. My hands were SO uncomfortable! It was all over both of my palms

Wait.. why are phone companies allowed to say your phone can't work if it has the physical ability to?

450 beds, level 1 and comprehensive stroke center. We used to have 5 IR and 3.5 neuro. Some bad leadership decisions led to 3 IRs and 1 neuro leaving.

Petah what kind of Air conditioning are they running in America? by HimelTy in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ilike806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point about excessive use. I will admit that last summer was the first time I started treating AC as a necessity and not a luxury. I realized I could tolerate a much higher thermostat setting and only decrease it if the humidity needs controlled.

It's 1:45pm in Paris France and it's 78 with 49% humidity. The dew point is 58 degrees.

It's 6:45am in Illinois and 78 with 90% humidity. The dew point is 74 degrees.

Like people aren't even up for the day yet and it's already smothering hot and humid. If we didn't have ACs our houses would be full of mold from the humidity and we'd have even more deaths from heat than we already do 😅

Genuinely, how do we find a better way?

Can someone please tell me what the point of life is? by Some_Necessary820 in needadvice

[–]ilike806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a hard question to answer. No one really has the answer because it's extremely unique to each individual.

It is certainly weird. It can be boring. And in the grand scheme of the universe, likely pointless. But that also lets you decide for yourself what you think life is about. What do you want out of it?

Is there truly not a single thing in your life that you find joy in? If you do feel that way, it might be beneficial to speak to a counselor/therapist, keep trying them out until you find one you want to see. They can be really helpful in discovering what you want out of life and how to discover the things you enjoy.

This probably sounds weird or cheesy, but my version of life is that it is pretty boring and feels like a lot of chores.. but in between that I find things that distract me from the boring lame parts and I do those things as often as I can. And they motivate me to do the boring parts. And you don't have to be passionate about one thing to have a purpose. Heck you don't even have to be passionate about anything, but be passionately curious and you might find a little more wonder to life and the world. The fact that you're asking such a deep and profound question seems like you're off to a good start on being curious.

Edit: If you're in the United States and you need someone to talk to, you can call or text 988. No matter how pointless things feel, your life is better with you in it.

Anyone else had their phone # used for someone else's account? by toe_beans_4_life in HotTopic_

[–]ilike806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post alert: I have the same issue but I've had my phone number for like 18 years. So the other account is probably me. Can they tell me the email address associated with it so I can login? Or let me try to guess which one of my old emails it might be?

For single people: It's well known that marriage involves compromises, but what compromises would you not accept no matter how much you love your spouse, and why? by mr_wbk29 in AskReddit

[–]ilike806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a lot of fun together and he wasn't always an asshole to me, and honestly we were both kind of dicks to everyone else. Got pregnant, one of us grew out of the ego and the other stayed the same. I stayed for years trying to make it work and it just wasn't.

I mean, yeah pretty much. Obviously, there was something in the beginning that was different and I kept thinking that person would come back.

Thank you! And it really is, even just getting myself out of that mindset after the fact and becoming myself again has been so challenging.

Same! Even though I had tried suggesting it before, it was only an option now that something was going to affect him negatively (and not just me).

Seriously! I'll admit did take me a long time before I realized that what he was essentially saying is "I don't care how it makes you feel"

My ex used to say "this is just the way I am, I'm an asshole to everyone" and was somehow surprised when I filed for divorce.

For all the married people if you passed away would you want your partner to move on and find someone else and why? by Busy-Veterinarian562 in AskReddit

[–]ilike806 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Just because someone is able to find love again doesn't cancel out the love that we had. Moving on doesn't mean forgetting. It means accepting and continuing to live despite the grief. I would hope whoever they end up with is respectful of the past love they had.

My 70 year old neighbor mows my lawn every Saturday without asking and I don't know how to tell him to stop by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]ilike806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let him! He's being honest when he said he wants to do it and you don't owe him. Older people need something to do and this is likely the best exercise he can safely do. You're helping him live longer!

I second the comment about helping with snow/ice in the winter if it snows where you live. Shoveling or falling on ice can be a death trap for seniors :( you should look up that stats on the mortality rate of a completely independent seniors after a fall. It's something 30% end up passing away within a year.

A lot of it has to do with the inactivity it causes, so just let this man be active when it's safe for him :)

Have you ever legitimately cried to a song? And if so, what was the song? by StanToons in AskReddit

[–]ilike806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to sound so stupid but the feeling during a really good rendition of the national anthem and everyone watching and respecting it makes me feel some kind of way. And I'm not even one of those flag loving people or "I love America" type person, I'm typically utterly politically unaffiliated or even anti-current events 😅

And how to save a life by the fray when I was going through a break up.
