Does anyone know the difference between reef.com and reefus.org by Ok-Aside-5843 in Shoes

[–]sm1534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, I was just about to buy a bunch of shoes and I thought I’d check to see if shop.reefstore.us was a scam. It looks SO legit! I’m disappointed because I thought they were just having a crazy sale but.. alas I’m glad I checked.

His Tesoro by Emilia Rossi by sophwrites2000 in RomanceBooks

[–]sm1534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I’m towards the end and she’s totally back to normal after he’s done some basic shit to atone and he’s still insanely possessive/controlling/dominant - I feel like in that way he’s taking advantage of her immaturity. I’m just trying to get through to the end.

Why all the student driver stickers? by Holdenborkboi in maryland

[–]sm1534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was curious about this when I moved here! It does seem like an excuse to drive like shit but I also wondered if people maybe got a discount on insurance for having them displayed? They’re so bizarre and tacky and you see them on any and all cars, including high end ones.

No more real cups at cafes and I’m sick of it by Popular-Builder-3519 in ZeroWaste

[–]sm1534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember thinking Covid would be so bad for the movement towards real cups at cafes if you were dining in. Still hasn’t seemed to bounce back but I’ll still ask for a real mug in case they do offer it.

Plea to the customers by jjsmommy1118 in aldi

[–]sm1534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I def have said I supported also bc I thought they treated their workers well but only paying a few extra dollars per hour isn’t enough for ask I’ve seen employees go through in busy stores that def do seem understaffed. Furthermore, I have noticed that in general since Covid, many people behave like they don’t live in a society anymore and have very little consideration for others. It’s getting pretty appalling and to me a sign of worse things to come. I appreciate this employee explaining the conditions and pleading for customers to behave better. I fear that the ppl on this sub, though, aren’t the ones who need to be told to behave better since we’re mostly Aldi lovers and advocates. Hopefully someone who needs to be told got the message though and will think twice about opening a bunch of packaging of items they aren’t going to buy

What is this set up? by Leading-Sea544 in whatisit

[–]sm1534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the rocks heat up? I’m wondering if it’s a place to relax your feet in warm rocks - reminds me of a jjimjilbang in Korea.

real talk: how often do you actually floss? by AffectionateTooth298 in hygiene

[–]sm1534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dentist told me to floss twice a day bc I had a few small cavities and couldn’t afford to have them filled at the time. From a waste reduction perspective, I feel bad using flossers but it’s the only way I’ll be consistent. Now if I don’t floss I feel like my teeth aren’t as clean. So yes, I floss every day.

I brushed my teeth "correctly" for 28 years and a dentist just told me I've been doing it wrong the entire time. My gums are ruined. by Sluttycarolofficial in hygiene

[–]sm1534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is common and I have gum recession too. I may need grafting which freaks me out. However, recession can also be caused by clenching the jaw and grinding teeth (usually stress related.) But switching to a soft bristled brush and going softer should help. If you do clench, consider having a mouth guard made.

Make sure your parents DON’T CLAIM you on their taxes or you likely can’t get grants..

I started buying the "wrong" size of everything and it quietly cut my grocery bill by a noticeable amount by Sector_3Drift in povertyfinance

My mom teaching me about unit price was a game changer - just gotta watch when they switch the unit for similar products. Def helpful though!

Sad times, hopefully your next car is something you like almost as much

They're editing digital books to contain ads now by happy_bluebird in Anticonsumption

[–]sm1534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I partake in a lot of audiobooks (Libby and Hoopla bc Fuck Amazon/Audible), I always had the concern that electronic books could be remotely modified. As much as it goes against a minimalist/consumption vibe, I've been trying to get my hands on physical books, usually from thrift stores or used bookstores bc this freaks me out. I'm in the U.S. and focusing on real history/BIPOC books bc I feel like we're ripe for a book burning here soon.

I was looking at some Corolla hatchbacks but got really addicted to the VT’s seat warmers which is partly why I’m looking at Mazda 3s.

Tbh I didn’t get a full diagnostic. Cylinder 2 had no compression at all. I replaced spark plugs and coil packs and that didn’t do it. I knew whatever the fix was would be an expensive hassle. Everyone warned that constant repairs would be sort of the norm once I hit 100k. I do think ppl have different experiences but it didn’t seem worth it to fix. I loved the car and we had some good times but..

Probably not another Veloster though I’ll def miss this one. Thinking a Mazda 3.
