    Turns out the expensive space age glass stuff breaks super easy.

    Sounds like you are really rough on your phone. The point of glass screen protectors is that it cracks instead of your phone's screen. The cheap plastic film isn't made to do that, just keep the glass from getting scratched.

    I'm sure I had plenty prior to this, but it's the only one that I can remember vividly enough to write down. I remember I had taught myself to recognize when I was dreaming. I was probably about 9 years old, and it was in the early 90s before I had even heard of lucid dreaming, I couldn't take control of the dream, I was more interested in just waking myself up to get out of dreams. I remember that I had woken up from a dream in the middle of the night and looked down the hallway toward my parents room. It was dark but they had a nightlight in the hallway so I saw something moving and thought that I heard my mom coming toward my room but when I saw her she was a huge bug wearing a nightgown instead and then I woke up again.

    That was the whole point. They even made the actors stay out of public view for a year, handing out flyers at Sundance that they were "missing, presumed dead". There were fake police interviews on the film's website and everything. This was the first time anything like this had been done so I can imagine people were really invested in this movie and thought it was real.

    Are they the kind that have two parts with the middle part popping up? This kind uses the middle part to lock the outside in place and you have to pull the inside up first before you take them out. I'd also recommend buying a tool to remove them like this https://www.amazon.com/XBRN-Removal-Window-Fastener-Remover/dp/B08GKK5ZTL

    You don't get federated automatically. On your own instance you will only see posts in communities that you subscribe to. What I did was set up a "bot" user that I used to subscribe to a bunch of communities that I might find interesting when just browsing the All feed but I didn't want in my personal Subscribed feed.
