  • how do you separate your clothes and linens to avoid fabric degradation and bleeding?

    Jump

  • I separate by the kind of detergent and cycle a thing is run on.

    Gym/sleep t-shirts, denim, towels all get a hot wash with oxi-clean and fabric softener because I love the smell come at me bro.

    Elastics - things that are mostly elastic/spandex/polyester - socks, underwear, leggings, sports bras. They get a hot/cold wash with a pre soak and extra rinse. The they get the free and clear detergent that washes cleanest and leaves no smell.

    Daily wear/delicates - gentle cold wash with woolite with low tumble dry or hang dry. I only ever have like 4 of these with each wash. Generally the nice, more expensive stuff I wear in public that I want to last a long time.

    I don't care what color anything is.

  • What do you like most about the Christmas season?

    Jump

  • I found out a few Christmases ago that I really love gingerbread houses. I used to build scale models in grad school and got really into it. Gingerbread houses are like that but without grades or measuring. My weekend plans are to order trash pizza, put on Home Alone, drink some weed sodas, and decorate gingerbread houses til I'm too stoned to hold a piping bag.

    I also love that it is cold and I can snuggle my husband to suck up his warmth and make him yell when I touch him with my cold toes. 😈

  • Only if he did it in Washington DC, on federal land. If he was in Delaware or Maryland or any other state (not Native American Reservation) they were probably state level drug offenses.

  • Drug related offenses are overwhelmingly state level crimes. The office of the President can only pardon federal level crimes. This is a feature of our system of checks and balances, not a bug.

  • Hey Joe

    Jump

  • He was not pardoned for any drug use or possession, but rather for gun charges and tax evasion.

  • He did pardon almost everybody he could. In 2022 and again in 2023 he pardoned all federal marijuana related crimes below trafficking.

    If you were convincted of state level weed related crimes, you will have to take it up with your governor.

  • My Nose At Night When I'm Trying To Sleep

    Jump

  • I looked it up. It's called a bilateral turbinate reduction. They don't burn anything, but they cut and scrape and shave down the turbinates in the nasal cavity.

  • The gauze packing sounds like surgery for sinusitis, not a deviated septum. My brother had that done like 20 years ago and he still talks about having trauma from the pain of having it all removed.

    Apparently it is borderline torture, and medical practice and technology has advanced to where nobody should be doing that anymore.

    Jump

  • Imo it's probably one of the best things I've ever done for my body that wasn't diet/exercise related. It was annoying and uncomfortable and being on downers always makes me a wreck, but once that fog cleared and my stents came out, I slept infinitely better, the orbital bones below my eye sockets aren't constantly sore, I don't take a constant stream of OTC allergy/sinus meds, and now, when I do take meds (very seldom - I think there were two days in the last year and a half that my post nasal drip needed help) they actually work.

    I also had the procedure where they burn away a bit of the insides of your sinuses if they're too swollen. I don't remember what it's called anymore.

  • Omg going into surgery my doctor told me I wouldn't need them so it was quite a surprise when they came out!

    And yeah, it was hella weird. But I had probably the best sleep ever that night.

  • I read somewhere on Reddit or somewhere way back when about The nasal cycle where one nostril sort of constricting (just due to blood flow and normal sinus congestion) allows for optimal air flow and moisture in our nostrils.

    The poster also said that if this regular nasal cycle resulted in being unable to breathe on one side, consistently, you have a deviated septum. I don't know if that's 100% true, but I 100% had a deviated septum.

  • Mark Robinson sues CNN for leaking 'Black Nazi' porn site messages

    Jump

  • I've heard rumors that it was leaked by the GOP specifically to get him to drop out before it was too late, but he's a stubborn Trumper, so I hope they're enjoying the beast they created.

  • Mark Robinson sues CNN for leaking 'Black Nazi' porn site messages

    Jump

  • I wouldn't say zero penalty; his poll numbers are shit. They were before the story leaked, but nobody seems to be Teflon the way Trump is. He's possibly tanking North Carolina down ballot, and could even flip the state for Kamala. His political career is surely finished. It would have been before now if the GOP had their way, they tried really hard to get him to drop out.

  • Millions of Christians not planning to vote this November, could shape election: Study

    Jump

  • That is accurate in a theoretical bubble, but in practice, in a two party system, in an incredibly close race, it's simply not true.

    Jump

  • By your own logic if A wins by 1 vote and you chose not to vote for your guy, B, you essentially gave your vote to A. Good job.

  • We live in a two party system. Not voting for your guy is essentially a vote for the other guy. Especially when elections are this close.

  • Lemmy's have you ever been "profiled" or judged preemptively? What is your story ?

    Jump

  • I look really young. Like I'm 40 but routinely pass for early 20s or even late teens if I do my makeup with that aim.

    I get carded buying alcohol a lot. I hated it until I was about 27, and it really started to make me feel great! Especially once my gray hair started growing in (I dye it regularly so nobody really sees them, but I know they're there). If all you're trying to do is guess how old I am from how I look, I will love your answer.

    But people often judge my experience or expertise as if I am only as old as I look when I am really twice that age. I hate when people assume I'm the office assistant or new hire when I'm the Assistant Director. I had physical therapy for several months due to a chronic shoulder injury, and the old ladies there loved to tell (not ask) me that physical therapy must be so easy for me as if my joints aren't fucked and my pain and effort aren't real. Still pisses me off so much.

    And don't get me started on the creepy old guys who see legal jail bait...eugh.
