  • When my FIL what was a veterinarian was cremated, his remains were in a nice wooden box on his old antique desk. My SIL always referred to it as, "Doc in a box."

  • Getting the same issue here. Seems sporadic.

  • Zuck claims it's up to 30 million now

  • There were also:

    • Golden Club
    • Supreme Club
    • Centennial Club
    • Platinum Club
    • Apex Club
    • Pinnacle Club
    • 500k Club

    Don't have their descriptions anymore since I logged off of RIF but they were all variations of the same sort of thing

  • 30 minute episodes, yes. But over that I tend not to commit...

  • I will be interested in seeing if traffic here noticeably increases after today...

    My dad Postie (Left) - with his brother Timmy in the early 80's. Straight up pimping. Raised me, a white son as his own from the day I was born. My mom said "I don't know who the dad is", and he replied "he's my boy now". Absolute Legend!

  • They permanently banned my 9yo account with 2 million karma for using the "boxes of Liberty" metaphor in a highly up voted comment about Republicans taking away access to voting. They said it was a threat of violence. 🙄 Meanwhile fascists make literal death threats in conservative subs with no consequences.

    The site has systematically been banning high volume contributors who aren't right wing enough for at least the last 3 months. They, like Twitter, are trying to suppress the voices of people who are against fascism. It is deliberate and planned.

  • This is great advice, coming from someone who pondered using the "Mother was really sick and had to manage her illness and passing" excuse if I ever went back, as it was true for me too. (I'm sorry for your loss, it's a really painful life transition, I know.)

    I ended up taking a slightly different approach. I worked in IT project management before I retired early. My LinkedIn resume shows me currently employed as an "IT consultant" and will until I decide I need another job or I kick it.

    Accidentally blocked a community, how do I unblock it?

    I fat fingered while trying to join a community and accidentally blocked it. I can't see how to unblock it anywhere. Is there a way to do that that I'm missing? TIA

  • OP, this person knows what they're talking about. One of the screening questions when I was diagnosed with ADHD had to do with clumsiness. My own parents used to call me, "An accident waiting for a place to happen."

    I have slowly been able to improve my clumsiness a little bit, by exercising regularly with a trainer 5 days a week. One of those days is a balance-focused day and after 2.5 years I'm actually able to hold poses and (mostly) stay upright and steady. But it was SLOW going.

    The night before my 50th birthday, after I had been taking this class for 7 months, my husband and I were on a sunset cruise and his phone fell out of his pocket and over the side of the ship. I reached out with one hand and successfully caught it. THAT KIND OF THING NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!

    I celebrate that day every year as much as my birthday now. I managed to show off hand eye coordination before I was 50!

    Get screened... :)
