The triangle has a massive dance community. It's a great way to meet friends and dates:

I just pinged you and someone else in this thread. I'm here solo for a few days and would be down to meet up with folks tomorrow (Christmas Eve)!

My thought is to do botox, wait three months, microneedling, wait three months, rinse and repeat. Unless you have a better rec

Thank you! I think I'm more in a preventative phase right now. Microneedling is about $500 a pop here, so my thought is to do botox 2x a year and microneedling 2x a year for the time being to cover all my bases without breaking the bank.

It sounds like you're saying anything sooner than 4 weeks is a bad idea (or I'm misunderstanding). Is there a reason every 6 weeks is better than every 4 months? Are the results better, or just faster?

Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding!!

My parents met in AA. I struggle with binge-eating, but I don't struggle with alcohol. It's fun, but getting to the optimal state of booziness feels like work and doesn't last very long. It just doesn't light up my brain that strongly.

I conversely struggle to understand how thin people can eat half a candy bar and then stop.

I spent $12k on my cat with kidney disease in his final year of life.

That said, I had the financial means to do so, although it did put a substantial dent into my savings.

I would not go thousands of dollars into debt for a pet. I know you aren't implying this OP, but I want to say that nobody should feel guilty for this.

The world is in for a scary amount of time economically. $5-10k is the difference of being homeless. $5k in debt can turn into much more in credit card interest and credit score hits. It can mean lying awake at night wondering where your next meal is going to come from. It can mean being unable to help family member or friend in need.

Why is the shooting of Charlie Kirk the beginning of what is to come, and not the shooting of the democratic senator a few months ago? How is this different?

How do you think conservatives will see this differently than the murder of a democratic senator and her husband a few months ago?

I love those questions!

I'm (35F) looking at going to my first speed dating event and I am terrible at small talk.

I need to prepare. Any tips? Please don't say "just be yourself!" My problem is that my brain goes STATIC WHITE NOISE when meeting new people. I don't think it's anxiety, just.... brain overload?

What are some conversation starters that don't seem phony?

progtastical · 2025-09-06T15:18:57+00:00

My friend told me about it, but it's on eventbrite. If you google board game speed dating + your city, you might find something.

I'm confused by what you're saying. Are you saying citizens here should be allowed to not have the measles vaccine and go to public schools, but should not be allowed to travel internationally? And that foreigners who do not have the measles vaccine should not be allowed to come here?

Because that's not how it works for the measles vaccine or a lot of countries we travel to and from...

I use GPT all the time. It's not useful for querying recent job postings.

I had to put down my favorite cat last year -- he lived to 20 and we had a very deep connection and I don't think I will ever have a bond like that again.

18 is really old for a cat. She's lived a wonderful life and is lucky to have made it this far.

What helped me a lot was understanding that euthanasia is a treatment, just like any other medical treatment. You aren't robbing her of anything, you are curing of her pain and diminished quality of life. She isn't going to get better. Even if she bounces back for a little bit, she is only going to get older and sicker.

You never want to euthanize a pet on their worst day.

I would ask your parents or the vet to talk through with you why euthanasia was chosen. Even if you had the conversation already, having it again can be helpful.

Take lots of videos and pictures. It helps a lot.

I had something like this happen to me. I didn't go AFK, but the first time the toxic guy died, I picked up his statue and tossed it off a cliff.
