I used to work for a thrift store. Trust me. If you need fabric or things for projects, don't buy the clothing off the racks. Ask the folks who work there if they have any they are throwing out that day. If it's got stains or holes in it, most shops can't sell it. Don't forget to buy local folks. Goodwill doesn't help your local community.
My name is Robert Edwin House.. I rebuilt the strip.. it was difficult to put the families together.. but unfortunately. Something went so wrong.. and now I can’t do anything, but sing this stupid song!
you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.
if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. but you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out. (source)
every person ive ever suggested to that going through your partners phone not only invades their privacy but also the privacy of all the people who have possibly texted very personal things to them have acted like they genuinely never thought of that before
