  • I’m going to get down votes but small businesses should advertise everywhere to get as much traction as they can for their business.

    What people are saying in comments are good in theory with word of mouth, good product etc but making a good product doesnt guarantee that your product gets known. Additionally, while I’m similar to other Lemmings as I don’t use any other social media and hate advertising, I know advertising works and I hate it. Its bad but I know a lot of people that purchase things because they saw it on IG or whatever (ad vs influencer). And many companies that have a larger advertising budget will smother out smaller mom and pop businesses for more money too. Unfortunate truths. Emerging small businesses cannot do without social media. Restaurants, pillows, etc. I also dont think most people do a lot of research into what they buy. Anecdotally too many people I know have crappy pillows. They dont think and grab a pillow from Costco or target.

    To your point, an ad would at least get people to think about other brands. They see an ad for a pillow, think they need a new one, may buy the one they see, test it out, and be done with… I think everyone needs a nice pillow but too many people I know have like 10 feathered pillows. Its a shame.

    I listened to this podcast about mattresses and it also has a lot to do with advertising, direct to home mattresses, affiliate links, how powerful mattress companies are, etc. . It was really good but also shows how massive and difficult it is to break into markets.

    I take sleep hygiene pretty seriously

    Anyways, there’s a reason why there’s so much $$$ in advertising. I don’t think anyone can deny that. I personally don’t like invasive personalized ads and would actively not buy when I run into them but know I’m the minority.




  • Agree with some points but also see there may be opportunities for more happiness.

    Anyone you’re with you have to compromise some and longer relationships are more investments.

    I dont think you have to have an inconsistent or dead bedroom. It can be hard because more priorities but have you tried to bring it up to your partner? Would she be willing to try more knowing you miss it? What kind of foreplay does she like? Does she know what you like? What havent you/they tried, do you guys like toys or lingerie? Etc. Some of the fun is finding these answers!

    Wishing you the best


  • I think everyone is different. Five years married here, 10+ together. I fall more and more in love with my husband year after year which I haven’t heard from a lot of people happening.

    My husband has always loved me. We talk about marriage vs single a lot because a lot of our friends still involuntarily single. We dont miss being single and are in a very healthy, strong relationship.

    We have our own hobbies, space, etc. But still like to spend a lot of our time together but dont need to. Sex is better and as frequent as the start. I mean, whatever you want from your relationship just communicate it and have someone that matches those preferences, goals, whatever it may be.





  • Got it. I’m just donating to anyone willing to publicly stand up to the administration right now and he hasn’t backed down. I’m sure he and many others are receiving threats from both current administration and MAGATS alike. Besides protesting, I felt like it’s my way of showing support. Like hey, we may disagree on a lot of other issues but I am in support of what you are doing right now. Our democracy is no longer a democracy and we need more allies fighting back against fascism. Most of the Democratic establishment is doing jack shit right now. Let’s support people that do have a backbone and continue to push and criticize those that do not. That’s my take on it
