Aw, I hate to admit it but I feel sad to be missing place. I liked it

This makes me sad. Information is being erased that will keep people who could've been helped by it from ever finding it.

The people who it will hurt the most have nothing to do with Reddit.

It sounds so much harder than just reading.

But I believe it. I work in law and often need clients to respond in writing to questions (so we have a record of their answers). The barely-coherent poorly-spelled responses we get are astonishing - and often from pretty well educated, smart people with high level jobs (after all, they can afford a lawyer).

When I go to one of those directories, it seems to take me to a web browser. How do I visit one of those communities and/or subscribe to it in Wefwef/Voyager?

My home office is in my bedroom. I've covered what I can with electrical tape but the glow still comes through. Sometimes I just throw dirty t-shirts and socks over things

My state has plastic shopping bag bans across (most of?) the state and I feel like it's completely backfired.

Now, instead of those thin plastic bags everyone used to get, people are charged 20 cents for a "reausable" bag, which is still a shitty bag that no one seriously reuses or wants, but it's thick plastic, like thick, crunchy, and indestructible. Maybe double the plastic waste.

I TRY to remember my (actual) reusable bags, I really do. But sometimes I forget and I wind up with these big thick bags I don't want to reuse and wind up throwing out or "recycling" (which probably means shippibg then to the Philippines).

I also do curbside grocery pickup frequently and the ONLY option is to get those thick "reusable" bags with your order. Otherwise the grocery employee (who can't accept tips) will need to individually place each item in my car one at a time.

The thin plastic disposable bags were better. Paper bags would be better. This 20 cents for a "reausable" bag loophole is total bullshit.

This. My husband is approximately the same height and weight I am; we have the same waist measurements and if I'm being honest he looks hella good in my pants.

However, I can barely get his jeans over my hips and they're too tight in the thighs. Not too mention the awkward kangaroo pouch crotch area.

We both wear men's goodfellow PJ bottoms from target (because POCKETS) and I wear a medium, he wears a small because he doesn't have hips.

That's dark, but it makes sense.

It is "blue leaning" but they keep threatening abortion access.

I found a pair of Wrangler pants on Amazon that has front pockets that are squares of fabric sewn on the outside and they fit my entire phone with room to spare. It's the first time I've been able to put a phone in my pants pocket and walk without worrying I was bending my phone.

Lack of customization, lack of options, lack of compatibility.

With iPhones you choose from iPhone 1, 2, 3, or 4. They're all the same, and frankly they all suck. They're overpriced and the charger always breaks.

Maybe you missed the part about trying to find a lower cost of living area? Unless you go to the highest crime, poorest areas of those states, real estate is insane. We did consider Pueblo, CO, but it's trumpville and actually more expensive than most parts of CT.

I tried to find your community and it didn't come up in my search. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something wrong with the community

Yes, that worked! Thank you, I subbed. I wonder why it didn't come up in my search before

Consistently relying on weed to give you an appetite can make you dependent on it to feel hungry. Note how most heavy long term smokers you know are thin as rails.

If you happen to have this problem, however, a meal replacement drink like Soylent can be a godsend. It's pretty hard to eat a nutritious 2000 calories if you have to wait until you're really high at 9pm to start eating.

I mean... Since we can upvote posts and comments here, is it really that bad to tally up how many upvotes we've gathered over time? I don't hate getting upvotes.

I am so glad to hear that! There is so much information on Reddit, my heart aches at the thought of people wiping it away.

Even during the blackouts, I sometimes googled things only to find Reddit posts with the answers weren't available to view. It was startling

The bags I get from Fred Meyer are so awkwardly shaped and crinkly I haven't been able to find another use for them. I used to reuse the old plastic bags all the time. To scoop cat litter into, small garbage can liners.. but these are wide and shallow, you can't even tie them closed. They're so ridiculous they barely hold groceries.

Same. TBH, I didn't really pay much attention to all the protesting. But when Bacon Reader stopped working, I started looking for a new app.

But why are all the blue states cold?

My husband and I thought about Arizona, or Virginia to get away from one of the highest CoL areas in the country.. but eventually decided to focus on Connecticut instead, because we don't want to be in a red state. With the exception of CA, none of the liberal states are sunny and all of them are expensive!

I wish people wouldn't delete their accounts. I've put information out there that I WANT people to see and find. Reddit admins shouldn't be able to take away the wealth of knowledge redditors have given the world in the last decade.
