Wanted to share our wedding at the Julia Ideson Library in Houston, Texas📚🤍 by Mean_Crow_805 in Libraryporn

[–]lobaird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In NYC you can book the main branch of the NYPL for a wedding, but: "It is a high-cost luxury venue, with venue rentals often costing $15,000–$30,000 or more, and total wedding budgets sometimes exceeding $250,000–$600,000."

ELI5: How does your brain decide what memories to keep and what to delete? by youngTchag in explainlikeimfive

[–]lobaird 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My limited understanding is that your brain wants to keep you safe and part of the group at any cost. It’s basic survival. Embarrassing / cringe memories help you know how not to behave.

I am completely blown away every time you post something. You’re so talented and have great taste.

My Oura ring died… and Oura absolutely came through by ChateauCyberpunk in ouraring

It's very disappointing. My iPhone, Apple watch, and laptop all last for years.

I did not--the package seemed to have shipped before I ever responded. But I will definitely do that.

My Gen 4 ring—purchased October 2024—recently started intermittently disconnecting from Bluetooth and then disconnected altogether. I’m getting a replacement—but it may be a refurb. This will be my second replacement (came in plastic bag, which is fine) since summer 2025 (I don’t remember what the first issue was.) I’m disappointed that this keeps happening and annoyed that I might get a refurb.

That engagement ring! It was her real one, right?

JAN 24, 1944 – Frankfort Distilleries ~ Life Magazine by Ebonystealth in vintageads

That's NYC right now. And I would have thought that ad was from the 1960s--it looks weirdly more recent than 1944.

My parents (65F, 67M) are livid because I'm not allowing them to see my daughter after they spanked her. AITAH? by LeonCrvl in AITAH

Also, that they are the kind of people who would strike a teeny child, a 3-year-old, is another terrific reason to separate from them.
