That’s excellent. I’ve been coincidentally researching that myself now that I’ve picked up running. Out of curiosity, what is the one line of Gatorade that actually has enough salt that you mentioned?
I got some liquid iv and like you said, it’s palpably saltier than other things I’ve tried recently.
I have, fam still has cable and some sneak past my ad blockers occasionally. They are increasingly dumb and increasingly repetitive, there’s no bottoming out how stupid you can make 15 seconds of someone’s life.
Imagine a good size of the population telling you how despicable advertising has become and you are like… no, I’m gonna force you to watch them. I stopped watching TV 15 years ago mostly because of commercials, they are just so repetitive and mind bogglingly stupid… People flocked to streaming services at least in part because LOUD REPETITIVE commercials every ten minutes is a sickening way to watch anything, and instead of idk figuring out a solution to that, they are like… nah bitch, you need some more ads.
I’ll be damned. I had no idea. Thank you!
What’s the most efficient way to transfer bookmarks form chrome to Firefox? I feel like half the reason I’m still using it is that.
Idk. It’s par for the course. I spent some three years on dating apps before meeting my SO. A lot of ghosting. I think a big part of it is don’t expect people to be mindful of your feelings. And if they aren’t, just move on. Don’t take it personally. Just the moment you get a feeling that they are not into it, move on.
I went on maybe 45-50 first dates. And honestly, it was a great experience. Very few second dates, even fewer third or fourth. One long-distance fling that turned into a great friendship and then my SO.
The reason I’m saying it was great is because early on I decided that I’m gonna make it fun for myself. So I’d pick activities I wanted to do, I’d pick hikes I wanted to go on or ponds/beaches I wanted to check out, food I wanted to try, places/towns I wanted to visit… in essence, I made sure that even if the date went nowhere, I’d still get something awesome out of it. And I worked on myself, I pursued interests and hobbies and passions and it was the best time really.
Think of cool things to do too. Not just dinners and drinks. There is soooo much you can do with someone to put them in a situation where you can both have fun, relax, and get to know each other. I personally found those outdoor adventure dates a lot more exciting than just dinners.
And I tried to not get hung up on the people - sometimes it was hard to do that, I admit. A looot of ghosting. If you’re gonna date online, just accept that it will happen a bunch. That only means these are not the people you’re looking for. I know it’s hard when you feel like you only need this one person, and you want people to let you know, and you feel like it’s not fair, but honestly… you’re only responsible for your own actions. That means don’t ghost others (I never did) and move on when someone is giving you the cold shoulder. They should be just as excited to be in touch and if that’s not the case, just cut them and move on.
Best of luck, don’t despair, date and have fun with it. Invest time in yourself in the meantime: hobbies, friends, passions, new things, adventures… it’s summer, soak it up!
FB imo is well ahead of the curve. I haven’t been active in years, keep it only for the Marketplace and the occasional messaging with childhood friends. The only active people I have in my friends list are MLM #bossbabes and people from my parents’ generation spamming each other with shitty memes and scams.
Thank you, this is fantastic. I got more understanding out of your write up and responses to people than out of a couple of weeks of reading up random forums and blogs online. Thanks for taking the time.
