My boyfriend and I sometimes like to do staycations here since he visits from Connecticut and I live with my parents. so we've stayed in our fair share of hotels here. They've always seems kinda expensive but i just assumed it was due to inflation and hotels have just gotten super expensive in general. But nope. We've been looking at hotels in DC and Baltimore for a road trip we want to go on and they're on average almost half the price a night as in poughkeepsie. Its RIDICULOUS. the average cost a night in DC at a 3 star hotel is around 90 bucks. Where's in poughkeepsie its atleast 150. The literal capital of the United States is cheaper to stay at than a nothing city like Poughkeepsie. I just don't get it. Even for a cheap motel, it runs us atleast 90 bucks.

I've been trying to manifest being younger for a while, and it hasn't been as successful as I've hoped. Its worked in some ways here and there, but I know not to settle for less, and I want to fully reach my goal.

I'm not sure if the title makes as much sense to you all as it does to me, but what I mean is; I'm not sure how I can best live in the end/detach about having a physical feature that I can clearly see I don't have yet, I mean it just takes one look down.

Im trying to sound the least unfaithful and lacking as I can, but Its difficult in these cases. I'm trying to manifest a smaller chest, but its difficult to actually believe that I do have/will have it when I clearly see that I don't yet.

I haven't seen any advice about this sort of thing surprisingly, so any would be helpful!!!

I ask this because I sometimes feel afraid to tell people my success, no matter how big or small because I'm afraid it might somehow go away. I know I'm just being paranoid in that respect, but I've also heard to not be TOO vocal about it because people with bad intentions might set out against you. But I also wish I could just spill, and maybe inspire/help people who want to manifest. So, how do you feel about it?

I buy almost all of my beauty products on Amazon, but i don't like the company at all and I want to try and use it as little as I can. This ofcourse leaves the question; Where else can I buy beauty products (skincare, haircare/products, makeup, accessories, etc.) For a good price and good shipping? Any recommendations? :)

[Edit: im from the USA!!]

My boyfriend paid $190 a day in advance for a night at double tree. Come to find out when he checked in that the ac had been broken but was just fixed. He went out with me for 3 hours and we came back to an oven of a room, much to our surprise since the hallway was cool. After trying the front desk 5 times he finally got through, and was told all rooms were experiencing this, and it most likely wouldn't be fixed until the morning.

​

Needless to say, we're both pretty annoyed, and while the heat is bearable enough to stick it through. (Thermostat says 90°, im surprised we're not dying rn) Our date night has been sufficiently uncomfortable.

​

Ontop of all that, none of the staff has made any attempt to compensate us or even do anything to make our stay even the slightest bit more comfortable.

​

We're trying to keep positive, but this really sucks. And if we have to leave in the morning without a single ounce of rectification, idk what we'll do.

​

I often stumble across a ss/art from a visual novel with a pretty artstyle and cute characters, just to find out its 17 hours of the player having sex with all the (15 year old) characters. Its pretty annoying. I don't mind a few distasteful jokes here and there, I just don't want it to be hours of fanservice slop on top of an already boring story.

​

I guess i'm just looking for anything that isn't super long, but also entertaining. I wanna get hooked to something!

Opened pinterest to see my account got nuked. I have no idea why this would be. I posted quite a bit but NEVER posted anything even remotely against guidelines. Simply just my edits, art, and aesthetic photos. As for pins I've saved, I had atleast 15000 saved across around 20 boards and got maybe 5 community guideline notices about them. How these pins could've gone against the guidelines, im not sure. But 1, I have no desire/reason to save something that may go against the guidelines. And 2, THEY WEREN'T POSTED BY ME. Those 5 notifications I got over the year I've had the account are the only explanation I can see for why my account got removed.

​

And going to appeal is a whole other issue. I click on the link given and it doesn't work. Reading: "web page not available". Any other attempts just redirect me to the pinterest app login where I obviously can't login since my account is dead.

Pinterest keeps up some very disturbing profiles/pins, yet bans random people.

This is incredibly frustrating and I want to fix this. Any help???

I've recently started having dates with my medium distance (2hrs away) boyfriend. We plan to see each other once a week (him coming to me as I can't drive yet). And seeing as quite a few of our dates will be on days we works, he wouldn't get to me until around 7 pm. Its totally fine by me, but I'd like to spend a decent amount of time with him and to do that, I can't have a curfew of 9-10 pm (which it was for my first date. Although it started at 3:30.) I've been sheltered most of my life and never really needed a curfew as I wasn't ever out late. But now, my parents think I need one which I guess is understandable, but I don't want or need it to be that early and I want to feel like i can be out late without worrying about then freaking out. Im especially worried about my father's thoughts. He isn't used to me dating and staying out late with a boy, and I feel like he'd freak out if I wanted to stay out until 12-1 am, even though I am an adult. My parents both still kinda see me as a little kid, which is annoying, and I want to be able to convince them that this is normal, and I'll be fine.

I have pretty stubborn keratosis pilaris on my upper arms and thighs, as well as some darker areas on my body. So, I was thinking I'd get some Dove salicylic acid and glycolic acid bodywashes (not to mention the turmeric bar soap i already use) and use them both every other day in the shower. My skin isn't all that sensitive and I've used both glycolic and salicylic acids on my skin before, on and off. But seeing as there are mixed opinions on trying this, I thought I'd ask reddit. What do you think?

I was doing a little bit of research for a possible mini vacation for me and my bf at the end of July. It'd be for 2 nights, so i checked expedia for good options. A 3 star hotel near the highway looked nice and it said it was $140 per night. I checked off the two nights to estimate how much it'd be and low and behold it came out to $780. This is crazy right?? I mean, I've never had to research hotel prices of my own so maybe this is normal. It just seems like a lot to me... especially since its not in New York or LA. And also, how on earth did 140 a night, jump to 360 a night? Im so confused.

I've been taking concerta for the past month, mostly at 18mg. I recently got bumped up to 27mg. And all I can take away from the experience of finally being on stimulants, is that they haven't done anything/ made my symptoms feel even a little worse than before. While I know this is a super low dose, I still expected to feel atleast some difference. Even with the side effects, I had appetite loss and insomnia for the first few days, but those quickly went away. I infact feel even more tired than before. Its incredibly discouraging to say the least because I was super excited to finally feel a little better after a lifetime of being unmedicated (for adhd). My executive dysfunction has been so bad I might as well not be on any medication at all. Has anyone else experienced this? :/

For the past few months Ive been manifesting a lot. Lots of affirming, lots of believing, lots of different techniques. And while some things have worked a little, the things I really want, have not. I'm trying my absolute hardest to keep believing and knowing that I'll get it, but after consistent nothing, its like a punch in the stomach. Now I know. I already have it in the 4D, but that isn't all that much peace of mind to be honest. Any reassurance/advice would be greatly appreciated :(((

Ive had rough feet for a little while and I really dont like how they feel, so ive been trying to look for a way to make them nice and soft again. For the past 5 days ive done these steps: foot bath (10-20 mins) dead skin scrape, O'Keefe's healthy feet balm stick, lots of Vaseline, put socks and leave overnight. Maybe it just takes a little longer? But multiple sources say i'd start to see improvement in 1-3 days. And its not as if my feet are so hard they're cracked, so i thought I'd see a difference. Any help would be appreciated!!

Ive been trying to manifest a smaller chest for a long time, and ive also tried living in the end with it. But for obvious reasons its kinda difficult lol. Any tips?
