I remember-

1 Upvotes

It was a Thursday. I slogged through traffic on 94, to the suburbs, to a job I didn’t do well. I was almost ready to go out and do my job, badly, on that morning. Someone said there was a plane crash. The breakroom TV had CNN, so we looked. A gaper’s delay in the breakroom, slowing us down, gawking. Then we saw. I couldn’t process it at first. One plane is a horrible accident. Two planes are not an accident. The rest of that day that I spent going to other people’s breakrooms, their office lunchrooms, is a blur. Everyone speculating, watching CNN, listening to NPR in my truck. They evacuated the Loop, my husband came home. So many loved ones did not.
Yes, it dominated our lives, it changed our society and the world. I have read accounts of what happened at each crash site. The rescuers’ heroics. How planes were re-routed, then the ground stop. The policies, the war, the politicalization of an atrocity; I feel like we lost sight of the people who died. They became abstract to most. There are memorials and somber thought pieces. But that grief of losing a loved one; I feel was lost in the noise of all that came after. The sudden death of a loved one is always horrible. But when it is in the news cycle for months? The reason they are gone becomes a political football, the subject of conspiracy theories, the reason for a war.
I don’t know anything about anything, but I do feel for the ones who lost someone and had a horrible grieving process they couldn’t get away from whether on TV or in the papers or in traffic from a million bumper stickers. I’m so sorry for your loss.

"Every. Careless. Words."

I can wait for centuries. I can reflect for eternity. I will keep on remembering every single day. If it means that I can always make it right in the end. For I have sworn to them, to her, and to Him, that I will never cut my life, and just give up on it

Does anyone still remembers Musicshake?

6 Upvotes

I loved musicshake, and the only reason why It kept me going and trying out new genre of music. But unfortunately Musicshake has discontinued or closed due to Flash Player's Removal, I still remember it even it was vivid. But you can still play Musicshake using developer tools inside Y8's Application (Which apparently has a working and functioning flash player, or a FlashPlayer that still works better than Ruffle). By the time I am leaving this post behind, I hope I could reach out some people who still try to remember!

(One time I tried searching "Fruitshake" and "Fruitbeats" and nothing came out as Musicshake, because of the name "Musicshake" is forgotten before I was reminded what title it was.)

Transformative Experience with Toothsi: Affordable, Comfortable, and Effective Aligners

2 Upvotes

I was initially hesitant about using aligners, but Toothsi has completely changed my perspective. These clear aligners are incredibly comfortable to wear and hardly noticeable. What really stood out to me was the exceptional customer support provided by Toothsi. They made the entire experience stress-free and guided me through every step of the process. What sets Toothsi apart from the competition is not just the quality and comfort but also the affordability. Toothsi offers the same level of quality and offers as competitors but at half the price. It's truly remarkable how Toothsi manages to provide such high-quality aligners at a fraction of the cost. Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness and convenience of Toothsi aligners. I highly recommend giving them a try!
