a tattoo, and I didn’t even pay for it.
The reason it’s a waste is because it’ll cost £5-600 for a decent cover up. Essentially I got this to cover up… Terrible decision.
I have a variety of tattoos, and I only regret one of them. Still proud of the others decades later.
I save up for the Netherlands. There are enough places to just get a peace of mind, away from people, with a nice spliff and no one to bother me about it.
I’ve been three times within the span of a year, and will be going back in a few months.
You can never be too serious about skincare.
I have a small hammer I use, to lightly chip away at the wall tiles to provide both exfoliation, a back scratcher, and acupuncture all in one.
Seeing kids smile, hearing them laugh. Like, if I’m on the bus and I hear a baby laughing, with those early crackly chuckles they get, it just taps into something within me and brightens my mood. Very difficult to frown with such pure happiness around.
Ive always spent a bit extra for a certain brand of eggs, which I prefer, so I haven’t noticed a great deal of difference if I’m honest.
Can’t be skimping on good egg.
OH! Sorry I completely misunderstood, I love that question.
Various ways. Sometimes I go to record shops, and go through the vinyls until I find something with a cool name or other arbitrary metric I’ve come up with to choose an album. This is how, many years ago, I found Foxboro Hot Tubs -i literally picked it up and thought, “well this sounds like it may be a funky band!” Then realised immediately that the lead singer sounded a lot like Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong but singing entirely different styles. Turns out it was a side band of theirs!!
Other times I always keep Shazam handy when I’m outside, going for walks, meeting with people, going somewhere to eat, etc. in this way I’ve realised a lot of other people have very cool tastes so when I hear something I like, I literally pull out Shazam on my phone and see if it can figure it out.
For the moments it doesn’t work, I usually find someone to ask. Doesn’t always work though.
Other times I’m just going through each playlist on streaming services, like YouTube Music, and just skipping until I find something I like and then add it to a list.
I listen to various genres, however there are a lot of sub-genres alongside occasional fusions I would miss out on if I only go with the tunes I know, so I’m keen to just randomise the genres rather than focus on one solely. Cypress Hill is a good example, since there are a good number of tracks they did with a rock vibe, or that Korn track they did with Ice Cube. Many times I’m playing songs for the vibe I’m in at the time, so it literally can flip from Suidakra to Taylor Swift depending on my hectic mind haha.
Hope that answers your query.
Most of my tracks have been collected over time, through various different methods. Most recently I’ve been buying digital copies of albums I like when streamed (usually YouTube Music provides a nice way to sample them this way).
However some artists spend their entire careers trying to remove a rib, yet their music sounds good so I usually Torrent those.
I’m a bit busy to post about the transition myself, though I’ll definitely upvote yours when I see it in the feed :)
I like that some apps provide different things, like Tempo straight away gave me a page where I could select by genre and so on. It’s great having this freedom.
Last week I set up Navidrome on my PC, and connect to it with an app (Tempo) on my phone.
It’s like having my own Spotify. Snappier too.
I was an adult when touch screens properly took off, and I doubt this is in the same league.
There was some practical purpose to touch screens, whereas this thing is just unnecessary. I doubt it would have the same effect.
I pick the category 'Things no one Asked For", for $25 Mr. Trebek.
This article has completely missed a selling point of e-readers for people like myself: no constant refreshing.
My eye strain, when reading for a long time, doesn’t come from the light (or lack thereof), which is evident as a positive of backlit Kindles and other e-readers, though the constant flicker of screens. E-ink solves this issue perfectly, and with every device in that article mentioning “60Hz” on their alternatives I feel as though they’ve missed a big point of having an e-reader and what exactly constitutes as “paper like” (it’s a lot more than just “low/no backlight”).
You’ve been through a fair bit! Sounds like you have built a strong perspective. Your family sounds rather loving.
I’m sorry to read you were treated so poorly during your treatment. I hope you are in a better situation, if not now then in the near future.
Maybe they mean Terminator. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is working another job now, the economy is rough.
The title makes it sound like the FAA told SpaceX to go to their room, for being very naughty.
Not long after my mother recovered from chemotherapy, my grandmother passed away. I was tasked with disposing of my mother’s morphine, however I decided to take it for relief.
I was addicted not to the feeling of being numb so much, but the initial euphoria. I would snort the morphine in powder form. I know I did some rudimentary conversion, however after kicking it I forgot every single step and cannot remember a lot of that time.
Over a year had passed, yet my knowledge of it is very little. It feels as though I have lost parts of my life… Like I mean, literally lost.
The euphoric kick got less and less prevalent, and I felt as though I needed more in order to gain that initial kick - however I wasn’t even aware of this effect happening, despite all manners of media being rife with this step of opiate addictions. The act of increasing dosages came so naturally I don’t even think I made a conscious decision to, yet my tolerance rose to points where I was taking multiple times the lethal dose (for someone with base tolerance levels).
I saw what it was doing to me at one point, just by happenstance of looking into the mirror for a moment longer than usual.
I went cold turkey, and it was… Well, hell doesn’t even describe how this felt. It took about a couple of weeks, with the first being the worst.
I had locked myself up in my room, telling some folks to check up on me periodically, online friends mainly, and what to do if I don’t respond within a given time. I recall a moment where one of my friends was about to call an ambulance, because I was one minute late to answer (I was probably vomiting profusely).
The very last time I did that was in the second or third week of November, 2012.
I understand that going cold turkey could be very dangerous, especially with a built up tolerance, however at that point I would not have been able to wean myself off of the stuff. I was too far in, and without going extremely hard into it I probably would have died not too long after.
If you have a friend going through opiate addiction, please be there for them. That’s all I can say.
They taught OP how to use a spoon and wipe his bum, and he’s making it sound like it would be a chore to have a cup of tea with them.
I don’t get it either.
It’s the initials of me and my ex wife, with a small design around it. We got matching ones.
Never get a spouses name tattooed. I was told not to, and I should have listened. This was 13 years ago and I will be finally getting around to it this year.
