How long ago was this and in which country? I recently gave birth in my 30s and I was told it’s the norm these days (in fact average age of first time mom in my area is 32 last year). Even in my late 30s, I have a lower complication and mortality rate than teen pregnancies. The best age from what I was told is early to mid 20s, biologically. But for most people emotionally and financially late 20s is actually better.

American consumerism shoved its way in, so now everything is prepackaged garbage made as cheaply as possible from the same conglomerates that make unhealthy trash that's often banned by other countries due to health risks.

I’ve watched YouTube videos of school cafeterias in different countries preparing food. Japanese schools get fresh produce every morning, some proudly mention they’re fresh from local farmers, and they have to clean (very thoroughly too), prepare, and cook the food every day. But the US schools get frozen/fridged packaged stuff delivered and they cook by putting stuff on trays and heating them up.

And the food budged for each inmate is higher compared to for each school student. There are stricter regulations for prison food too so they’re more nutritious and of higher quality.

Yes. Because if I’m somehow in a situation where I’m dating again, I’m a single parent too.

So we should just not wear pants until however long it takes to happen?

Animal shelters are always keen to take old towels.

Oh that's a good tip! I have old towels that I now use for cleaning towels, but I'll check animal shelters near me as an alternative.

How often do you wash your towels? And how often do you completely change them with brand new towels?

I wash them weekly and was just wondering recently if I should be buying new towels to replace my 8+ year old towels.

Edit to add: I wash towels by themselves so it's a separate load to my regular laundry. I don't know why but the different materials seem to clean better separately. But I also have a separate towels load for dirty/oily towels (kitchen towels, cleaning rags)

Yeah that's one of the issues that keep getting him a lot of hate I think. But from my understanding their relationship was fine. IIRC Janet confirmed that she told him he could apologize for himself but not to say anything on her behalf, so that's what he did. But that was 20+ years ago so I might be misremembering.

At least online, this past year or two, maybe not fully cancelled but got a lot of hate. Since his last album/tour a lot of comments are saying that his success has only been by stepping on successful women. Things that get brought up a lot is the Superbowl "wardrobe malfunction" and people seem to think he threw Janet under the bus (which I don't think he did and his and Janet's relationship was fine), and also his relationship with Britney from 25+ years ago. Britney also released a book which probably didn't paint him in a good light.

Justin Timberlake. I’m in my mid 30s now so I don’t follow celebrity gossip as much as I did in my tween years but from what I’ve seen he didn’t do anything too bad? The DUI was really stupid but I thought that was mild compared to a lot of celebrities. Felt more like it was cool to hate him cos he’s been famous for a bit but no longer at the top. But I still think he’s a fantastic performer and some of the new songs are great.

I have a 3 month old baby girl. Even my own mum keeps saying “she looks like a boy” when I dress her in things that are not girly. It’s a baby. She looks like a baby. And the clothes were pretty much gender neutral in my opinion

I was in a car accident. On my way back to the office from lunch out and this woman made a left turn from the opposite side in front of me. I basically t-boned her at 50-55mph. We were both okay, just shocked, but our cars were blocking the intersection. She kept saying I was going too fast and that she was driving home from church. I just sat down on the sidewalk waiting for cops and tow truck to show up. Funny enough I remember, even though my car couldn’t go anywhere, I turned off the engine, got out, and still locked the car.

I had to hitch a ride with the tow truck to their office so I at least had some shelter (middle of summer with no shade around) and wait for a taxi to pick me up. The other woman had her husband pick her up.

Hi all, just wondering if there’s anyone interested in becoming a mod here? It’s a very small community so it doesn’t require much. All I’ve done is basically create weekly discussion posts (which I’ve actually forgotten). It can probably be scheduled with an app but last time I did that it posted 3x every week and I haven’t made the effort to fix it.

I have personal things I need to take care of so I wouldn’t be able to be online as much in the next few weeks or months, so any help is appreciated!

 
 

Hello! I'm a beginner tennis player looking for a racket and some shoes. I technically played growing but it's been about a decade since I stopped. I used to use Adidas Barricade (I think) and a Wilson Hammer. I liked the heavy head. But it's been a very long time, and everything has changed since I last played. Just wondering what's a good racket for beginners or intermediate.

For shoes, I'm considering On Roger Pro since they feel better on my wide feet than the current Adidas Barricade, but open to suggestions as well.

 

Season 3 airs on October 3rd (which is a Thursday!)

 
 

(Potentially) SOLVED: I disabled both Steam Overlay and controller Steam Input, and now it somehow works. Strangely, I believe they were both disabled to begin with and I tried enabling one at a time, then both, and nothing worked. I wanted to test individual settings again so I turned both off and suddenly it recognizes my controller (DualShock 4)


I haven't played 1.6 but I'm sure I played 1.5 with this setup a while back and the controller was working. Now my Mac recognizes the controller (and I can use in Steam's big picture mode) but the game doesn't.

What I've tried:

  • Started the game through Big Picture mode using my controller, and tried without Big Picture mode
  • Uninstalled SMAPI and any mods
  • Restarted my Mac
  • Enabled/Disabled Steam Input in controller settings

Anyone have any experience getting it to work?


NOTE: Just tried with DualSense/PS5 controller and having the same issue. The game doesn't seem to recognize the controller
