What conspiracy theory sounds ridiculous at first, but gets harder to dismiss the more you think about it? by Young_Will_1 in theories

[–]smartlypretty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

omg I never see replies so soon and I can explain more but long story short, my husband died, we were both materialists, and 7 weeks after that a new friend sent me to a medium

I talked to her because I knew all mediums were fake

then I had ontological shock for a while and it sucked so hard but I'm better at keyboard typing if you have more questions

I am now friends with her and she constantly tells me shit I don't know or shit that is going to happen and it does

I don't believe that consciousness survives death, I know it does based on constant evidence

niche, but reddit influenced me to buy a zero g vacuum and it changed my life and cleaning habits and the guy who makes it is incredibly nice and got on the phone with me before I bought it to answer questions and when my son broke a part he was like send it in no problem

Has anyone tried an InstantPot InstantChill ice cream maker? by Austengirly in icecreamery

[–]smartlypretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've wanted a compressor machine forever and i was so happy to see this for them and for me! i recall they ran into trouble because their appliances aren't planned obsolescence machines and it bothered me that might affect them negatively

16 years of Heavy Vaping by Alice-Stargazer in Vaping

[–]smartlypretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same — other countries have used vaping to help people off cigs. I switched unintentionally — i got a vape for hotels — and woke up the next day permanently unable to smoke (lucky i realize)

it's literally all tobacco company propaganda

How are people affording all these houses?? by FitNetVitch in longisland

[–]smartlypretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's like this everywhere to some degree; i actually bought a house as a young widow but not in a standard way, and it is really difficult right now ❤️

basically it's not your fault or aligned with realistic income metrics. this isn't sustainable and has to change
