Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?
I wish Summoning Salt would do some more recent or different games, but he really seems to love the NES/SNES era. Just saw he released his second multiple-hours-long video about Mike Tyson’s Punch Out and I am just not the audience for that I guess.
He could do good things with Hollow Knight or Halo 2 for example, but maybe that’s just not his passion.
I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you’re tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread
There is a massive list of HSA eligible expenses, too. I am not advocating that people go out and spend their HSA money frivolously, but if you need to buy something that seems medical-related and you already have HSA funds, maybe look into getting reimbursed.
The coolest one to me is if you’re overweight or at risk for things like diabetes or atherosclerosis you may be able to get your doctor to write you a note allowing you to get things like fitness classes, gym membership fees, or fitness equipment (stationary bike, treadmill, etc.) paid with your HSA funds. In many cases prevention is the cure, and exercise is hugely hugely beneficial in preventing and managing a wide range of maladies so if you stick to it you may actually be saving yourself an even bigger medical expense down the line.
If you save the receipt you can send it in to your HSA provider and have the expense reimbursed from your HSA. You can do this for many many years after the actual purchase date
Basic home maintenance or at the very least troubleshooting and diagnostics when something breaks so you can give the repair tech better info when they arrive.
Basic home cleaning. This one might sound obvious but the number of people I’ve worked with who’ve never held a mop before astounds me. Learn to do your own laundry and clean your bathroom and kitchen well and efficiently. Learn what it takes to do a quick clean and a deep clean and do them on a schedule.
us.lskd.co has some pretty steep drops on activewear and they’re pretty good quality

Especially since they started showing advertised businesses to me on the map. I’ve never been to a McDonald’s, Google, and I know you know this about me so stop preferentially showing them when I pan around my map!
Also please let me filter my search results. When I search “coffee shop” it’d be nice not to have to scroll past all the starbucks and gas stations to find small businesses.
Holy shit I thought I was the only one. I’ve thought about this for decades! I think it would be so cool to have access to and comprehension of an omniscient record of my life after I die.
How many liters of urine did I expel? How many birds have I seen? What is my most used word? How many miles have I traveled? The data is endless!
Also “on hand” means easily accessible in case of a panicked emergency. Not buried behind the bikes in the garage. Not stowed in a drawer because “it didn’t match the decor.”
And replace them regularly even if you never use them. The only thing worse than not having a fire extinguisher is thinking you do have one and finding out it doesn’t work at a critical moment.
Hi guys! For the past… ever, I’ve been putting my health and fitness aside. I tried a few times to get into the habit of exercising to no avail. I’m not overweight or anything but neither am I strong or flexible as I want to be. Mainly because I don’t want to have health troubles later in life. HOWEVER, to get started I...
This is truly exceptional advice. Those two bullet points alone will take you so far in your journey to good health.
I’ll just add that it’s OK to start slow. The only person you need to compare yourself to is yourself, and if you’re not doing any exercise today then even just 20 minutes a week is improvement.
For me it was “buy high quality pillow” because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was … ok. Like it’s a fine pillow but my sleeping haven’t improved really, it’s basically the same. So I was disapointed :(...
Honestly I can’t remember an LPT I got use out of. I think the format tends to draw inane platitudes rather than actually good life advice.
Almost every “life pro tip” I’ve seen has been either ridiculously common knowledge (LPT: wipe your butt after pooping!) or weirdly specific recommendations (LPT: most frozen ravioli or tortellini can be cooked in a bowl of water in the microwave (this one is literally on the front page of the subreddit right now!)) or just straight up ads.
sense most online business are having black friday is it worth buying something or should i pass and try to save my money. im a teen i have around 200$ but i would like to limit myself to 100$ or less. im probably posting this in the wrong place but im not sure, i just want to make a smart choice when it comes to money....
“Looking For Group.” Basically signing yourself into a queue to join up with other random players in the queue to complete whatever tasks you want to queue for (like a raid or dungeon).
This is generally quality control issues and it is obscenely rampant throughout most of retail clothing.
If you’re interested in buying a new pair of jeans, grab a few of the exact same size off the shelf and try them all on before making your choice or moving to a different size. It’s insane how much they differ (and while you’re at it double check that both of the legs are the same length).
Iirc adblock plus has been known to get bribed to allow certain ads through. I’m struggling to remember the details, but there was some controversy with them a while back. If you have ublock you don’t also need ABP, just update your filters on those sites that ublock “doesn’t work” on

Iirc they backed a trans influencer drawing conservative outrage, then, after realizing that the conservatives were a large part of their customer base, they did a 180 and publicly cut ties with the influencer thereby also alienating the customers they hoped to gain in the first place while also not gaining back much of their conservative customers.
Someone feel free to fact check me I’m drawing on memory here.
It also functioned well as a metaphor for growing up/loss of innocence. I’m not sure how well it will go trying to explore that theme further using the same metaphor.
Egg on toast. Takes just a minute or two to fry/scramble an egg and frankly you don’t have to watch it like a hawk the whole time so you can make your coffee or whatever while it’s frying. Throw a slice or two of cheese on top while the egg is still hot

While true “hyper hydration” is indeed pretty difficult to get to if your urine is always clear you could probably stand to take in a bit less water throughout the day, and make sure you’re taking in enough salts to keep your electrolyte levels balanced.
Yeah, it was a little extra but I splurged for the GDLS M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank because I deserve it. Besides, you never know when you might need it!
Hey. I thought I’d give this a shot, just a general chat thread about running… eg. How was your run today, how are you tracking, how’s your training going for that race that you decided to go for etc… if it’s popular, maybe someone knows how to write a bot to post weekly or monthly? (I don’t)
Dealing with shin splints for the first time in my life. This time last year I ran a sub-4-hour marathon and my overall volume has been way down since then so I’m really struggling to find a balance between enough running to keep me happy and satisfied without exacerbating the injury. It’s frustrating to see myself struggling with efforts that were once my easy days.
I have 33 weeks until a 50k trail run, so hopefully that’s plenty of time to heal up and get back to a good training volume.
I recently went to a therapist for a few sessions because I wanted to talk through some major life changes with an unbiased third party. I have no diagnosed anxiety disorders, but I was told in our earlier meetings that he was going to “diagnose” me with something like “adjustment reaction with anxiety” (or put another way “difficulty working through change”) so that he could continue to see me. This isn’t the serious anxiety disorder that many people struggle with, but would almost certainly be lumped in to the category of “anxiety disorders.” This was apparently done mostly for paperwork reasons; I imagine somewhere on the backend someone might be asking why he’s providing therapy to someone who “doesn’t need therapy” without something entered in.
I still don’t have an anxiety disorder, but that diagnosis is going to be on my chart forever unless I go through a lengthy process to purge it. I’m not saying this is the way every doctor will do things, but it might explain some of the increased prevalence of “disorders” in the population.
