  I had similar results to you. In my case the deal breaker was navigation, because I need to be able to make changes to the route on the fly which these apps don’t allow. In fact, you need to tap like ten times through menus to finish a trip and search for something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨H&M to use digital clones of models in ads and social media⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s just the model getting paid- which is good - but the pay rate isn’t the same as the one for the shoot. It’s the rate they get paid for the images to be used, something similar to royalties so to speak. It will greatly benefit a minority of popular models, and drastically reduce the job pool for new models.

  The photographers are getting totally screwed though, as well as the make up artist and anyone else involved in a shoot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨H&M to use digital clones of models in ads and social media⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with you in sentiment, but unlike you, I DO believe AI can easily get your child slave work shirt to fit better on the non existent model made out of an amalgamation of all your previous photoshoots plus stolen data.

  It keeps getting more and more accurate every day.

  Even if it doesn’t fit great straight out of the generator, you already have a Photoshop touch up artist who will fix that and any extra fingers. It works out. H&M may have to pay some extra 20% to the Photoshop designer in India, but will spare themselves paying a photographer and a model by 100%. Plus any other people in charge of recruiting models and organizing shoots now can get their hours reduced too.

  I really really hope things end up like you say they will. Nothing would make me happier than seeing these idiots hitting a wall.

  TLDR: [Country] Citizen

  Australian citizen for sure, but to say I am Australian would mean identification and full comprehension of its culture, which I don’t. I’ve been here for about 15 years and although my understanding of its culture has improved a lot, I don’t think I’ll ever come close to “getting” it like I get the culture of my country of birth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what’s the deal with nicole?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t block “nicole” because the user spamming these direct messages (not public posts) changes every so often. I got three of the messages in my inbox, they’re from different users but the message is the same. The pictures are different but clearly the same person and from the same footage.

  So yeah, I’ve no idea what the point of these messages are, they are spam but if it’s phishing then it’s not very effective. It could also be a means to offend whoever the person in the footage is.

  Lots of people have been making public posts about it asking what’s the deal with it, memes, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨would getting back with an ex be a bad idea?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t. Leave him in the past. You both still have feelings for each other, but that doesn’t mean it will work. It’s going to be like last time if not worse, because snowballing any issues from the first time into this hypothetical second time.

  You deserve better. Mental health issues and being a social media hermit are no excuses. He probably didn’t mean to hurt you but he did, and will keep doing so over and over again until YOU set some boundaries.

  Set those boundaries, send him away. This has nothing to do with your preference, just stay open and listen to what you want in terms of a partner. Beyond sex and gender you deserve to be treated fairly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have a precise answer to your post but I’d like to add my two cents - it’s not just USA. I’m born and raised in Argentina and moved to Australia when I was 19. Although there isn’t a black vs white dichotomy here, people are very, very conscious of skin shades. I still don’t get why they obsess over it.

  Just to illustrate, my skin/hair color is sort of like Monica Belucci’s. My eyes are green. In Argentina I was considered a brunette, period. Sure, there were lots of people a bit darker than me, and also lots of people more white, but I never felt like anyone cared. You’d only bring the topic when describing someone physically. In Australia? I’ve been referred to as “a person of color” so many times I lost count, and always by Aussies -even aussies who I would consider to be of a similar complexion to mine. Immigrants on the other hand, don’t seem to mind, no matter their own color. People here somehow find ways to make the skin tone and background matter, and I’m amazed at how some conversations end up touching the race topic gratuitously. It’s in their mindset. They can’t help themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How fast can the body absorb vitamin B12?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To add to this: I went to the doctor after a nerve injury and asked whether taking B supplements would help with recovery. She said "no, No, NO please don’t take any extra B supplements because your levels are already fine. I’ve seen enough patients come with unexplained burning, tingling and twitching sensations in their bodies and it’s always because they take B supplements unnecessarily. So don’t even think about it "

  So yes our bodies can filter a lot but even then it’s also possible to overdose. Doesn’t seem to be OPs case though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How fast can the body absorb vitamin B12?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Look, I’m not an expert so take this comment with a grain of salt, but in my understanding vitamins and minerals are stored slowly in the body. There is a limit as to how much you can absorb of anything at one time. Taking two tablets now is probably wasting good part if not all of the second tablet. If your deficiency could be solved faster by taking larger doses your doctor would have already recommended that one for you.

  I’d be thinking ways of making sure I remember: set up reminders, keep my pills in two or three places so I can access them immediately, trying to make a routine out of it (it’s hard I know), keeping track of it in a journal.

  They don’t necessarily need to be deposited sneakily, although that’s to be considered, especially if you have people interrogating and investigating your friends and family - maybe you know someone who would crack easily under pressure but has the perfect hiding spot for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suppose you were a dissident facing political persecution, how would you preserve your personal files so that you can retrieve it many years later, in case of imprisonment?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Context plays a huge factor here. Depends a lot on which country you’re being prosecuted, how much effort is people putting in catching you and gathering your evidence, and what kind of resources you can count with.

  Personally, I’m not too tech savvy so I’d take the bury it in the woods option even if you say it can get corroded. There’s many things that can happen to it, depending on the weather, environmental policies (cross your fingers they won’t be selling the land for development while you’re away), and what you can afford to store your drives in. I believe it’s possible to protect the cache well enough if you ziplock them carefully and then find a Tupperware container, perhaps put that inside a larger wooden box or a tin to protect against crushing you should be good. Hell you can even cover the Tupperware containers in cement so it would look like you are burying rocks. But, do you have access to these things? Do you have the time?

  Another option is to hide the cache similarly protected in some architectural nook you know of, perhaps at a friend or relative’s house- some places have space under houses. Or perhaps you know how to crawl in some wall space or similar. The challenge here is returning to it, because the landlord (your friend) may be gone, dead or else by the time you’re out. The property may be bulldozed and sold, who knows.

  Okay if she thinks she would like to but can’t find anyone who fits the bill then there is still a chance it wouldn’t work even if she does eventually find someone. So yes I would call that bicurious but it could very well be straight with a kink. Sometimes telling apart which things only work as a fantasy isn’t easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To chime in with the others and answer: hormones, activity levels, calorie intake. Those three give you your results. Hormones in particular will vary greatly and are influenced by activity levels but also by mental stress (or lack of), age, sex, environment variables such as temperature, etc.

  As to why you didn’t get that bingo card- nobody has an answer really.

  I’d just presume they mean you’re no spring chicken anymore. I’m in my late 30s, don’t feel old at all, most people say I look ten years younger than my actual age. But I don’t feel like I belong in the same category as someone in their 20s. Middle aged would be the most appropriate way to describe me in a couple years, even if I don’t look the part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I still consider myself a “young woman” after I turn 24? I turn 24 in March (next month).⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Young and old is relative. I side with those saying young is until 40, then you’re middle aged.
