Yeah, worst case scenario stock prices for probiotic yoghurt would increase.

This is a common misconception with "charity shops" in the UK and "opportunity (op) shops" in Australia.
The assumption is that the charity/opportunity is for people doing it tough to be able to buy cheap clothes and home goods.
But the "charity" is because many shops like this are partner retailers of larger charity organisations, eg: the "profit" from Salvos stores helps indirectly fund Salvation Army Housing and food relief programs.
The opportunity comes from who they hire, if you're disabled or elderly, these shops are more likely to hire you than other retail providers.
But of course, a large number of charity and op shops abuse their staff as much as Amazon and Walmart do. Wage theft and unethical labour practices galore
Yuuuup, found out the hard way that tiktok shows you when someone watches a link you sent them.
My dad loves sending me cat videos on the tiktok, he sends me the links on Facebook.
I have two tiktok accounts because I knew there was a risk that my dad would be able to find me on tiktok through contacts. My dad is a transphobe, so in order to not poke the bear I maintain a cis persona when dealing with him.
But it took him 0.3 seconds to realise that he sent his daughter a link, and then an openly transmasc account user with a similar name opened that link, and then his daughter replied to his message reacting to the link...my ears are still bringing from the phone call he made to me.
So thats how my misunderstanding of tiktok trackers outted me to my transphobic father.
(fortunately I'm a fully grown adult and can cut him out of my life if he doesn't calm down)
I quit caffeine a month ago (my neurologist is convinced my redbull "addiction" was causing the migraines I've been having since I was 6) and it's no skin off my back to quit for 6 months to prove him wrong.
Only the insomnia!
I used to have a red bull right before bed to help me relax and sleep soundly, now I've got nothing (weed makes me want to clean my house then throw up)
I haven't had any caffeine cravings, but I have started hallucinating from the sleep deprivation. I was told caffeine withdrawals usually only last 2 weeks so I'm wondering if this is just my natural sleep cycle shining through.
I've got a sublingual melatonin tincture that I need to remember to use because it helps somewhat, but despite multiple alarms and post it notes near my bed I completely forget I have it as an option.
My neurologist told me to give up caffeine, been 1 month so far. Genuinely haven't noticed a difference in my life yet, turns out in the short term I was addicted to the taste of redbull, not the caffeine.
I'm thinking I'll have to give up weed too since I've started getting hyperemesis every other time I smoke. (I'm prescribed a thc oil but I genuinely feel nothing when I take it, even if I take 10x the dose, so 🤷 )
And if I'm giving up weed I might as well give up cigarettes too...
Not nicotine though, you'll pry nicotine from my cold, stroke induce dead hands. I'll be chewing on this gum till the noise in my head stops.
Where does this this linguistically phenomenon come from?
Is it a mistaken use of "an accident" with the preposition to reflect the personal involvement?
Mistakes like "Could of" make sense to me because in my accent "could of" and "could've" are identically voiced.
I can also completly understand where we get "alot" because alot is just the beginning of an acorn, minus a few hundred years of lazy pronunciation behind it (an oak corn =acorn)
Google is telling me it's because younger people will use "on accident" as an antonym for "on purpose". That sounds feesible as an origin. Now I'm questioning if "by intent" is grammatically correct, I've been staring at words too long.
Yes, there are practices you can adopt in every day life that make you more likely to experience lucid dreaming.
Certain mindfulness exercises to do during the day that essentially give your consciousness muscle memory that you later kicks in when you're dreaming and helps you you pull a bit of control into the dream.
If you have a Circadian rhythm disorder it helps.
As a kid I learned I could "rewind" my nightmares and go back and do things differently the second time. Lots of nightmares where I couldn't run fast enough to save myself I was able to rewind and run faster the second time around.
As a teen I learned that I could just deux ex machina my way out of any dream.
I was having one of my recurring stress dreams about not meeting societal expectations due to lacking resources. I'd had this dream a million times before, I'm desperate to pee and I'm in a labyrinth of broken toilets. Other people are coming and I going and seemingly peeing just fine and not getting lost in the labyrinth at all. but I can't figure out how they're using these broken toilets. Usually in the dream I just wander around anxiously looking to pee until I wake up (and notably, I don't actually need to pee). But this time I was lucid enough to decide, fucking this, the ceiling had been made of glass the whole time, and a dragon burst through to pick me up on the her back and burn the whole Loo-byrinth down.
So now I do that a lot. I was dreaming I was in a house slowly filling with green water and I may or may not have been a snake, but never fear, I summoned a goat from the thin air and gave it wings and we flew away.
I had a dream where the fat bastard from Austin Powers was roomates with Oscar the grouch and I'd been sold to them as a indentured maid and for some reason they were naked and I was deeply uncomfortable with the arrangement, that's when the lucidity kicked in, so I froze time and just walked away from the weird dream, deciding once I turned onto the main road I'd wake up because this was too bizarre to even come up with something better (I haven't even seen Austin Powers)
I managed to go all of 22-28 never once being carded for anything.
When I hit 30 I started getting carded for things I'd never been carded for before, even the milk bar I'd bought smokes at for 10 years, same guy and his son running it, suddenly started carding me.
That's how I learned the ID that I'd been carrying around for 10-11 years since getting my photo ID in highschool was functionally useless, because hardly anywhere would accept it as legal ID despite it being legal ID.
I had to keep the website for the government list of ID boolmarkef so I could show doubtful cashiers that my ID was indeed federally accepted, legal and valid ID.
I went to try and get a different type of ID last year which is how it found out that despite being born in my country to a citizen of my country, and having my birth recorded and receiving my birth certificate. Somehow I'm not actually a citizen of my own country and I can't get a passport...so I'm trying to navigate that system but that's extra fun and confusing because I have neurodevelopmental issues and no one to help me understand what I need to to do.
I just want to be able to buy alcohol as a person in their 30s, without having to jump through impossible hoops to prove that I'm not not 17.
I've got smile lines and the beginnings of crows feet, I am weathered! Why am it getting carded now
Pretty sure I still catch myself smiling over the girl in highschool 18 years ago that said she was jealous because I had really long and pretty eyelashes.
In the USA? It won't, your voting system is fundamentally broken.
Wow, that kind of blows my mind to think about, cleaning is often the longest part of preparing and eating food for me. I hate doing it and I will choose what I'm cooking and how to cook it based on the dishes in prepared food to wash up.
My partner once asked why the carrots I cook are always chipped in a rustic style ....because I'm not dirtying a chipping board for a carrot, I fruit ninja that shit.
But I've come to find the cleaning up therapeutic, it makes me feel like the process is over, it's a sense of completion and a job well done.
That said, it's only therapeutics when it's my dishes, and I've got a clean kitchen. If I'm working around, or expected to deal with someone else's dishes, I'm having a protein shake for dinner, because I will lose my temper at inanimate object trying to cook in someone else's mess or having to do 2-3 loads of dishes so I can eat 1 meal.
What in the scaremongering bullshit even is this advice?
