You should get a full dermatologist check. Especially if you have ever been sunburned.

Get any suspicious or annoying moles removed and biopsied.

I have 4 friends (granted 50+ years old) who have had skin cancers removed in the last year. Many, many stitches on faces, arms, and necks

This is my answer. When things seem to be going well, something bad is about to happen

I feel this way about music too. Not just pirated tunes, but copyright takedowns on shorts and in yt vids

Finding new artists as a fan is hard enough. If someone has reposted your music video as their own, sure I get it.

But a minute clip or less? Fans or haters talking about it? Let that thing fly free baby! I've found so much new music that was background music. I use the family Spotify account or buy merch more than I buy music these days to support.

I've bought so many books from authors that became my favs after they did a free epub once that got my attention.

There's always the "do this thing free for the exposure" problem - but people who say that are usually trying to exploit artists for their own gain. Fans are different, they are grass roots and not trying to exploit, but trying to recruit.

Thank you, I think I'll have to. I wish it was a setting I could choose to turn off, like nsfw photo blurring.

That is a beautiful image and I like colorful language, I'm not offended by it. I wish I had known beforehand. Changing will be a pain I've been getting a curation I like here, but the censoring is getting annoying.

Thank you for your response. It's weird the words that get censored for me so it's been throwing me off

Did you really say "removed"ass? Because if you did not, I do not understand the censorship filter on here. If you did, it's funny.

This requirement is what stalls almost all constitutional changes. The last three to pass were 25th 1971 about voting rights for 18 year olds (100 days to pass) the 26th in 1967 about presidential succession (just under 3 years to pass) The last last one (27th) was added 1992 after almost 203 years of meeting the other requirements (It has to do with sitting Congress not being able to raise their own salaries, increases are delayed to the next term. )

There are 6 amendments still sitting out there awaiting ratification by the states.

Anyone have a link to a video that's not copyright struck?

This is the safe space to ask a question you have that you are afraid other people would find stupid.

It's especially good for things some people feel are common sense, but that others just managed to miss growing up.

Here's an example. My husband is really smart. But he moved schools a lot over a 3 year period. He managed to completely miss kids being taught 1 is January, 2 is February, etc for dates. He just never learned it.

He knows his birthday in number form. But if he needs, say May 23rd in number form, he'll look it up or ask me which number May is.

Some people would classify that as a stupid question and be a dick about it. I just answer him. I know he's tried to learn it, he's just never sure if he's right and knows I know.

This sub operates under the good faith that there are no stupid questions, just people who legit missed something along the way.

In life, I would argue, there are stupid questions. But for me, it's only in situations where someone is clearly just asking questions to make you break, or clearly not listening and asking the same questions over and over without even trying to pay attention, and lastly, weaponized incompetence where people are acting like that because they don't want to do something and won't just say no. Basically questions that are exclusively to waste someone else's time are the only really stupid questions irl imho

But here, you get the benefit of the doubt if you don't know how to properly brush your teeth, or why May is 5 and July is 7.

I believe the name originated on reddit, and an accurate name would be "thereAreNoStupidQuestionsHere" but the shorter version is what got the brand recognition, but the confusion is understandable

Yes, I shake the fuel nozzle. After dribbling gasoline down the car's paint more than once, I always tap tap before I pull it completely out.
