Buckle up, I’ve got a ride-along story with some twists. I run a small startup that, for the first year, was a typical web-based service. Despite our hard work, we hit a wall at around $2k in monthly revenue. It just wouldn’t grow beyond that; every customer felt like a grind to acquire. So, we decided to take a sharp turn: we **rebuilt our product as a mobile app** and shifted our focus to the App Store. Picture a sudden swerve off the main highway onto an uncharted side road. We didn’t know what we’d find, but it turned out to be the right move. Within a few months of launching the mobile app, our revenue revved up to about **$20k MRR**, and user sign-...

I've recently been reflecting on how much unnecessary waste my lifestyle contributes to, and I'd like to start cutting it down significantly. I'm not sure if switching to zero waste would be feasible for me in the short term, so I am seeking advice on how to prioritize the areas that are most wasteful. Here are some notes on my current lifestyle, both waste-reducing and waste-producing. I understand that each one of the below items is more nuanced and some may fall under both categories, but I'm using them for simplicity's sake. Waste-reducing: -I don't consume animal products -I recycle all recyclable materials whenever a recycling option is available -I ...

Hello! I’m conducting a short academic study on **clothing fit challenges, style preferences, and shopping behavior**. The survey is completely **anonymous**, takes **3–4 minutes**, and is open to anyone who buys clothes (online or in-store).

(author note: there's no tag for "mythological lesbians horror" but i figure gothic horror is close enough! reposting this from the main subreddit, i initially posted this on nosleep and the mods did say they liked it but it broke some rule there. please enjoy!) \~ Seventh graders are always, well, let’s say *unique,* but Scary Sherri was a different breed entirely. She came into our class in early November, a particularly strange time to enroll, which was the first strike against her. The teacher nodded at her politely, but even she seemed to avert her eyes as Sherri was led in front of the class by the flighty old school counselor. “Everyone, we have a new student ...

Four years ago, I was diagnosed with end-stage liver failure. When I was younger, I drank more alcohol than water. I learned that selfishness hurt me more than anyone else ever could. Over time, I slowed down, not because I wanted to, but because partying in your thirties with college kids, as Freddy put it, “just isn't a good look” The yacht parties my dad kept throwing didn’t help either. Honestly, I wish I had a gambling addiction instead. At least then there was a chance of winning something. All I got was loss of time, health, and any humanity I thought I had left. My liver was so damaged that there was no chance it could heal on its own. Apparently, my eyes were so yellow i...

As the bed of my truck slammed closed, I was filled with that familiar sadness. 15 years ago my dad, between bouts of name calling and slurs on my sexuality, warned me that I’d never be anything. Of course I didn’t listen. What 18 year old wants to hear that he can’t achieve his dreams. Now all that I have left of the place I used to call home was an old guitar, a beaten down truck, and the words he yelled down the driveway as I ripped onto the pavement. Every weekend, I’ve spent my days at hotel bars and my nights getting booed off stage by drunk hillbillies. After a while it takes a toll. I would assume that’s how I wound up in the middle of nowhere. As I sat at that empty 4-...

So in one of my recent posts I stated how my friend (19) is currently pregnant. That father is 30 and he took off when he found out. I’m no longer her friend anymore after we just had this massive argument. I was going to Publix to do some shopping for dinner. She wanted to tag along with me because she said she needed to some things as well. I was surprised because she doesn’t have any money, she’s never had a job. So, I thought maybe she finally found some work and has some money coming in. She was grabbing some essentials for the baby and herself. She was grabbing diapers, wipes, vitamins etc. In my head I thought she was paying for all this stuff because I thought she was workin...

Hello female 37 years old, 5ft 3, 82.9kg, 35% body fat. I have insulin resistance PCOS which I'm now taking medication to balance blood sugar for over 2 years. I've lost 50lbs in 2 years so slowly but it's staying off which has made me so happy... if you have pcos you know the struggle. This has been a combination of calorie defecit and excercise. For 16 months I was walking approx 17k steps daily. For the last 6 months I've been strength training on average 4 days a week and my weight has remained exactly the same, just swings 2lb up and down weekly. I know this is likely body recomp and muscle replacing fat. I've also added in running in the last 3 months 2-3...

hi guys! i’m absolutely head over heels in love with this dress i found in the thrift store. saw it immediately and teared up. unfortunately they didn’t have fitting rooms so i took a gamble for $10. i can fit in the dress, i feel like a princess, HOWEVER, i cannot zip it fully. the zipper is on the left side. i can get it about halfway up, but my chest is too large. you have any advice on how i can make it work? i thought about adding a corset back, but im not sure how to do it properly myself. i have a sewing machine and my mom has dabbled in making / altering clothes when i was younger, but she’s rusty and never altered the true size of something, just length. i’m open to any...

I am considering getting new ski boots. The closest ski store is at least 1.5 hrs from me. The last pair I purchased I purchased from a fantastic boot fitter who has since retired, that was about 12 years ago. My situation is my liners are trashed, and packed out. The last two years after my annual ski trip I have a sore and damaged big toe nail. I have ended up losing the nail. This year I was going to consider having the boot fitter at the resort look at the boot and possibly fix it and/or get Zipfits. However, I am unable to wait until my trip this season as I just passed my course to be a National Ski Patroller at my local area. I just had a bad experience trying boots on...

Hey loves! Im visiting London next week and was wondering is there good shops where to buy pole wear? I usually order online cause in my country there really isnt any stores, but i would love to see the clothes my self before purchase. Give me your best shops! I promise not to empty them

I know many of us collect from thrift stores or swap meets. Do you clean the every movie, even if they aren't noticably dirty? If so, what do you use for cleaning? And do you clean just the case or discs too? My go-to has always just been a Clorox wipe for the case or a clean cloth for the disc; only if it's visibly dirty or leaves something on my hands.

I am sharing this experience with the sub, because I'm curious if it happened to anyone else. I never thought to share it on Reddit before, because I wasn't aware of the reach of this platform. The following AP occurred on November 28, 2021. I was standing in a darkened room lit by only one lightbulb. I was talking to the late actor and comedian, Robin Willians. Robin and I were discussing the differences in preparing a character for stage vs. cinema (I was a stage actor for 17 years). Robin was wearing what looked like hospital scrubs, gray, and it was a T-shirt and shorts combo, with a drawstring at the top of the shorts. There was a light to my left, and I turned my head to get...

I had a dream where I cut my hand on a sea shell. I've lived in this small fishing village on the coast of Maine all my life. All that time, I've just dreamed of being anywhere else. Somewhere warm, somewhere dry, somewhere the sun comes to visit once a day like it's supposed to. Instead it looks like my lot is here, with the constant storms and the inescapable smell and taste of fish. More than college, more than the idea of a better life anywhere else, the thing I think I wanted more than anything in the world was a girlfriend. Someone to talk to, someone to share bored thoughts with. That's when I saw her. At the corner of the classroom I never looked back to, was th...

*In this universe, chocolate is edible for dog characters. Please do not feed your pets chocolate. After two months of morning sickness, Yoona enters her fourth or fifth month of pregnancy. While Gunnar continued to gather supplies. The main goal for him is to find baby related items (crib, diapers, baby powder, baby food, etc) and doubling the amount of supplies they would need to survive the winter. Based on his calculations, he believes the baby will be due in the winter. For this reason, as well wanted to be with Yoona when the baby is born, he wants to stay after Yoona feels the baby dropping into her pelvis without searching for supplies. One night, a discussion starts about the due ...

Not sure why I am writing this other than reflection. My parents had a great marriage. They always got along, expressed love for each other in many ways. Dad worked. My mom was a SAHM, as were all the moms in my neighborhood full of kids. I hear a lot of people talk about how they can’t afford a SAH spouse. I think in the early 80s mortgage rate was at 18%. We had the gas crisis in the 70s. I remember there being only certain days where you could get gas in your car, based on your license plate. It certainly wasn’t economically easier. The frugality and creativity of people in that era was something special. We were not poor by any means. It was just a different lifestyle. ...
