I still check it very occasionally because my family and a few friends are on there. I don't know how they stand it; it's been 95+% ads for at least a year now.
You must be young. There was a huge pushback against soy from conservative and insecure male type people for a while. Also some of the hippie types. It was a weird combination, but I guess not dissimilar from the anti-vax types of today.
Price range for retail seems to be $100-250 for IKEA stuff that will fall apart in 3 years, or $1,000+ for something better. Is there nothing in between? Would prefer to buy new with risk of bed bugs or other contaminants but open to other options if I’m missing something.
I don't know if I could ever deal with (American) upstairs neighbors again in my life. The percentage of inconsiderate people meeting the percentage of multi-family housing with basically no soundproofing is a recipe for sleeplessness and rage.
I prefer to live in the middle of nowhere(ish) aside from the conservative culture which inevitably comes with it. I also like walkable city areas. I completely hate anything in between.

It has always blown my mind that they leave all their shit and garbage up there. Any and all responsible hikers, backpackers, and mountain climbers have a "pack it in, pack it out" policy. It's the norm. Yeah, packing shit sucks, but you love nature, so you deal with it.
Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?
Yeah, that's why I made fun of you suggesting I do my own research.
You have completely misunderstood this entire conversation. I just said that medications are drugs. Are you high? Is that why you can't figure out basic statements?
If so, that's fine, you're welcome to be high, but you might want to stop commenting on the internet.
Oh sure, this is obviously extremely anecdotal. I am on the closer to Gen X side of millennial, so I'm sure that will impact my experience as well. And then, of course, there are always outliers.
FB now 90% ads and promos?
I still check facebook somehow (I hate it)....

YSK if you've built a computer and it won't boot, sometimes the issue can be resolved by taking the memory out and putting it back.
Or by only putting one stick of memory in, or changing the slot you’re using....
watched a movie from 2001 about neo nazis (The Believer) and apparently chuds were also obsessed with soy back then
they find a torah and one character wonders aloud what kind of ink was used and another pipes in with “soy”? like what lol
