People talked about that a lot, didn't they? I bet the Mariners are why I know Etsy witches exist.

The general public must have become too aware for Etsy to ignore them (and collect their fees) anymore.

I didn't really know they existed on etsy before the last year or so. There were a few big incidents, weren't there? Big names getting cursed, or something.

On Ebay I think people get away with the scam by also mailing a candle or something.

There are a bunch of different kinds of places that all link together! Lemmy is a bit like reddit, Mastodon is like twitter, Mbin does the twitter and reddit thing mashed together, pixelfed is like instagram, friendica is like facebook- and so on.

I think it's an easy naming scheme when you have a litter of puppies to try and adopt out.

What are you interested in? I bet people can link you to some communities you might like, if you can't find some just browsing.

Mastodon has microblogging, like twitter/x and bluesky, if you're interested in that! Lemmy is more about finding communities on topics and posting in them.

This made me remember hearing about an alcohol "antidote" years ago and trying to remember what it was or even where I heard about it. I don't want to watch Revenge of the Nerds again but I think they used it in that movie to win a contest.

When looking it up I also saw this:

Don't know enough to know if this newer treatment seems useful.

Do you compost? That's the first suggestion I'm finding, but I don't garden so that wouldn't be a useful suggestion for me.

If the boxes have been opened, I don't know what org will take them, but if you have sealed containers, local food pantries will grab them. If there's a local buy nothing group, you might find takers even with open boxes. If you work in an office or group setting, you could give it away. If there's a local group like a church that has meetings with tea or coffee, you could possibly be like "i have a million boxes of stuff I'm not using" but they might be like other orgs and not want to take open boxes.

Some towns will have special recycling times for stuff like that. Biowaste, I think it's called?

Officers ignored him, dragged him in the snow and pushed him into a car as witnesses yelled and blew whistles, according to the video of his arrest.

I can't take a lot of cold medicines, but I wish I was unconscious right now.

What makes you feel better in this situation? Hot showers? Whiskey? Soup? Watching that comfort movie your mom put on when you were a kid?

Food banks have already been contending with higher food prices and increased need. Administrators say demand will skyrocket if federal nutrition benefits stop in a few days because of the government shutdown.

"The average household that we see receives about $350 per month, which roughly translates to about $44 million worth of SNAP benefits that will be gone from families," she told NPR. "There is no way that we alone can make up for a $44 million food budget shortfall."

 

Tensions flared early Thursday morning as protesters attempted to block U.S. Border Patrol agents from entering a U.S. Coast Guard base near Oakland that the Trump administration was staging as an operations hub for an anticipated immigration crackdown on the Bay Area.

 

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

 

Anyone have any experience wearing one for a long period of time?
