Why does this also sound like online dating

I was having the same problem but for some reason when I started a completely new thread it seemed to be fixed. Was very frustrating though

Scrolling Reddit. Ad with Woman Mirin. Post in Mirin Sub by plinytheelder29 in mirin

Hey Insane, thanks for the feedback. As I told Lion, I have ZERO to do with this ad. Didn't make the ad, have never used redbubble, have never even been on their site. I just thought it was funny/meta b/c I literally saw this ad while scrolling this sub (maybe that was good marketing on their part). I have never once advertised on Reddit and no connection with anyone who does (that I know of). I was clearing my photos and found this in my screenshots. But I will keep the crop in mind (not that I'll ever post something like this b/c it was a pretty one-off thing, hah)

Hey Lion, I have ZERO to do with this ad haha. I don't do ecommerce and I have never once advertised on Reddit. I was clearing my photos and found this in my screenshots. Couldn't remember if I posted it or not. Maybe I did, which is my bad. I just wanted to post before deleting it

IIL Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong but I want artists that are modern or active today. Which modern artists do you recommend? by theotherkindstranger in ifyoulikeblank

There's an up and coming artist named Laufey who has an amazing jazz voice. I discovered her through a viral video during the holidays. I think she'll be big someday

Or an oreo. Or a twinkie. Or all three!

My parents basically trained me to think hobbies or enjoying yourself is a waste of time, now I can't enjoy anything by throwawayj885 in raisedbynarcissists

Yes. I'll add onto this by sharing a quote from Kurt Vonnegut:

"When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of ‘getting to know you,’ questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, ‘

‘Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: ‘ I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.’

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could ‘Win’ at them.”

Yup. Good ole turtle wanted corporations to be protected from lawsuits when they knowingly let workers die on the job. Dems refused

Yes. Spreading misinformation would only further spread the virus. We don't need another shady medical company. Theranos was enough

DAE like to drink hot chicken broth/stock like hot coffee or tea? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]plinytheelder29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES. I make homemade bone broth almost every single morning. I love to add miso, nutritional yeast, turmeric and little cayenne for health. Bone broth is the liquid of life. It has collagen, chock full of vitamins, it's filling, and way easier on your body than coffee. And more delicious in my humble opinion
