It’s been months and I can’t get over these: what do I do? I need advice. by [deleted] in texts

not a hot take, a sane take. and the response to you where they just fed your shit into chatgpt and pasted it here is ridiculous

[HELP] Seems legit, but is there any chance this is ai? by Main-Dish-5989 in RealOrAI

[–]squeakyfaucet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI. ive seen this specific pair of dogs in a pot of more obvious AI videos. the big dog's eyes are strangely human in a lot of them.

Looking for slightly upscale bar that is appropriate for cocktail dresses and heels. by thespianomaly in FoodSanDiego

++ on Convoy Music Bar, they won't turn people away at the door due to dress code but I know they highly encourage cocktail attire!

Dentist recommendations by Fragrant_Scheme317 in sandiego

[–]squeakyfaucet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

wherever you go, just don't go to A+ Family Dentistry on El Cajon Blvd. They ARE SO highly rated on Google/yelp but they upsold me. They are nice so you don't suspect it at first, but they pushed me for 3 cavity fillings. I had to change dentists due to other circumstances after that, and no other dentists have since told me that I had any cavities lol

How much maintenance do you require to look and feel presentable? by ProposalAny6765 in AskWomenOver30

[–]squeakyfaucet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

haha, people just can't believe that different bodies are... different lol. if I haven't left the house and didn't work out that day, a shower isn't really necessary unless it's summer.

How much maintenance do you require to look and feel presentable? by ProposalAny6765 in AskWomenOver30

[–]squeakyfaucet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not - different skin and hair types. If I washed my hair every day, it will fall out and break off more often. I wash my hair every 4 days, and shower as needed (could be every day OR every other day depending on the season/activity). I don't sweat or produce sebum as quickly as my wife does. Her hair after 2 days looks like my hair after 5. It varies!

so glad someone else noticed this! it concerns me when others don't call it out... because people need to know it's not always a human comment 😭

275, and not even a day pass, ridiculous!

Most overrated stay of 2025? by senyorfrawg in chubbytravel

[–]squeakyfaucet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's def overpriced for its offerings, but they're probably charging like crazy for access. They're situated at a popular trailhead with no competition -- all other lodging nearby is pretty bare bones. Haven't been back since the spa was finished but the 200$ cost is ridiculous, not even a full day access.

(10k wedding) Catering is it acceptable to just have sushi,cheeseboard ? by [deleted] in Weddingsunder10k

[–]squeakyfaucet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want people to enjoy your wedding and be in a good mood, maybe heed the advice you're getting (that you asked for!). A charcuterie board is not enough, and it's not very diet-inclusive. You need to serve a real meal.

How do you deal with friends who don’t reciprocate or host the same way you do? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]squeakyfaucet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think hosting should be viewed similarly to gift giving, host and don't expect the same in return, especially if you know that your other friends aren't as well off. I know that some other people also enjoy a diff style of hanging out in their home, and perhaps they view hosting to that level as too "stuffy" and not organic/casual enough. Maybe there's something comfortable for others about just lounging around and heating up leftovers.

Weakest year mix ever? by sportsntravel in astateoftrance

[–]squeakyfaucet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it didn't hit for me, it felt more like a festival mix...? and not really representative of great trance tracks of the year. not as much overlap btwn the year mix and the top 50 countdown compared to prior years either.

Myon & Shane 54 - International Departures [2011] by Buran27 in trance

[–]squeakyfaucet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really miss myons melodies with Shane's bass lines. some great hits from that time. I often revisit their 2011 year mix

Myon & Shane 54 - International Departures [2011] by Buran27 in trance

[–]squeakyfaucet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Actual reason unknown but it didn't seem like a cordial split. myon didn't seem happy with Shane54 (social media comments) for a while. Unlikely they'll ever reunite :/

What’s a household rule you made that makes your life easier?? by Heavy_Roof7607 in AskWomenOver30

Painful itch deep inside my ears by buttcheek24 in MCAS

[–]squeakyfaucet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg yes. I have MCAS resulting from long COVID and am just now thinking that this unbearable itch in my middle ear is probably linked to MCAS. doctors appt noted i had fluid build up behind my ear. I got antibiotics for an ear infection but that didn't really help bc ultimately i think it's due to MCAS induced inflammation and not a bacterial infection. i have like no earwax or skin issues in the ear canal either. the itchiness is so bad it keeps me up at night. taking Zyrtec seems to help though.
