I'm looking for leggings, that meet very specific criteria. Hoping someone can help.

I had target maternity leggings that I loved, and that lasted me 6 years. I miss them. I got the "same" leggings when I was pregnant with my youngest - they lasted one year. enshitified to hell.

I then found Kmart fleece lined leggings that I loved. They don't seem to make them anymore. the new ones are shorter. 😞 And so I have come to the hive mind for help.

Must haves:
1: Proper high waist that doesn't roll down or slide down throughout the day and can handle a pot belly.
2: Tight at the ankle. I can not handle them being loose and baggy around my ankles.
3: Properly full length - I actually prefer to have my leggings long enough to wear so the bottoms can be pulled over my heels.
4: Phone Pockets

Ideally:
1: Cotton lycra - I really hate the feel of most activewear. Unfortunately cotton feel leggings are getting harder and harder to find. If not fully cotton-lycra then lightly "fleece lined" works. Not sherpa lined though, I live in Brisbane. It's not cold enough.

2: reasonably cheap or very well made: I am prepared to pay up to $100/per if they're going to last me 3+ years. If I'm only going to get a year or two out of them, they need to be cheap.

3: come in a few colours.

Any ideas??

I've been pretty sceptical about the claims you can tell a fic is AI. But yesterday I started a fic that you can tell.

It makes my brain itch.

It's not just that it has all the "tells" - they're constant.

Like 4 uses of "not X but y" a scene, plus multiple metaphors that go nowhere per scene.

Then there's all the other signs: Hogwarts breathing, unnecessary repetition within the same scene, conversations that go nowhere and don't make sense, plot/world building that's constantly vague AF, insanely detailed description of places but none for side characters including OCs, and everything feeling dramatic with no payout.

All these things together in such a large volume really does make that uncanny valley effect when you read.

Is anyone else having a consistent issue with the app signing them out including when you click "go to checkout"?

Is anyone else having a consistent issue with the portal both randomly deleting saved payees, and adding duplicates when you have toggled off the "add this payee to your saved list" button?

How are we all doing today? ❤️‍🩹 I hope everyone can find something positive to focus on today so you can get through the day.

Drop your coping strategies below, maybe they will help someone else.

Mine is: Wait till tomorrow and read the reports, rather than watching it tonight if you suspect you won't be able to sleep after.
