Nebula does this. I really like the platform except there aren't comments. Sometimes I like reading the comments on a video

I've had FedEx deliver my package to a vacant neighborhood home. By the time I went to get the package, it was gone. FedEx did a "thorough" investigation and found that they delivered it correctly. I appealed and never got my money back.

Rim World?

Disclaimer: living in USA. I used to doom scroll a lot a few years ago... What helped me was initially leaving the feeds (head in the sand as you say), but this was not a good permanent solution. Since then, I have done a few things that have helped (your mileage may vary depending on what you're trying to stay informed about). The first and easiest was to switch how I was getting my news. Now, I will get international news from different country's sources (ie:https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/world-int.html or https://www.channelnewsasia.com/world). I'll swap up which one I go to each day normally. It's interesting seeing world news from different perspectives. If I find a story that is particularly interesting, I'll look more into it. Secondly, I believe it is often more important to be aware of your local news than anything. To that end, I follow quite a few local sources of news. Most are hinted with my interests (urbanist improvements, community meetings, local discord servers), but some are more general. Also, I listen to a few podcasts not aimed at news, but as a queer person consuming queer media I occasionally hear things I didn't know. Promptly, I might look into it more. My motto is if something sounds really crazy, it's probably being misconstrued. You're never going to be informed on everything, but if you want to get less biased news, there are ways. Hope some of this helps in any way

Very interesting read lol. I think part of it is definitely to encourage repeat purchases. If you like a product and for the layman there is no way to maintain it, you'll probably buy it again. More money for them! In regards to the interface being terrible... The only reason I could think would be overly cautious on avoiding injury? If there are so many tactile requirements, your fingers can't be ground, which means no lawsuit. Who knows why companies decide certain things. (Like Chrome making you have to choose custom for page amount instead of auto populating the field and making me take an extra step)

That's awesome!! Thanks mids and Penguin :)

I appreciate all the responses! I think we just need to be firm when asking to bag. Often, there isn't a bagger so my partner will start (he used to work at a Target so he's pretty quick and particular), and an employee will come over and take over even if he insists he would prefer to bag.

I'm perplexed and interested lol

What region of Finland is this? I thought those really long sun days were only in Lapland. I'd love to visit Finland some day

Not to add to your fears, but wisdom teeth surgery is also where a lot of people first interact with prescription pain medication. Depending on your situation and doctor, you can receive anything from higher strength ibuprofen or Tylenol to Percosets. Try to be mindful of how powerful pain medication is and if you can have someone you trust with you it's even better. Overall, it's not a very scary procedure and you'll be fine :)

Quick Zucchini Curry: 2 Medium Zucchinis, Green Onions, 1-2 tbsp of Ginger, Mushrooms sliced real thin, Coconut milk. Spices: Ground Red Pepper (I prefer Birdseye), Soy Sauce, Red Curry Paste, Brown Sugar, Lime Juice

Takes about 15 minutes and pretty minimal chopping. It's all in one pot too if you already have rice made.

In a lot of countries (Northern Hemisphere) Summer is the holiday season, but that has never been my experience in the US. So it might not be as strange from that perspective.

You live in GA? :P Atlanta pride is some fun, but it is very busy. If you're looking for something a bit more intimate, Savannah pride has been wonderful when I've gone.

Plus one for Invisible, Inc. It's like XCOM but spies. Such a great game from an awesome developer. One of many of their games that I've got every stream achievement for.

Expansion of the Cocaine Bear Universe

It's possible about that tea. At Roscoe's though, Kahanna said that the reason the girls kept her was because they all agreed she shouldn't have been in the bottom.

Oh interesting, I'd never heard of Ru doing that.

Thank you 😊

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. Might be nice to see an RPDR instance without as much of the toxicity as the subreddit

Thirding US Mobile. I pay so little each month and the one issue I had, they fixed it, refunded me, and have me a 6 month discount. Top notch experience so far.

Not OP, but as someone who uses discord every day, I think I can speak to the general criticism. Discord has way more bloat than what is needed by most out of a communications program. They've continued to add "features" that a lot of the user base doesn't really care about, but take up visual space and operating space. Discord Nitro ads are also on the list of criticisms as it's nearly constant. I love having a place to easily interact with communities I care about, but if somehow a less "noisy" alternative came along and everyone I care about moved (lol), I'd change in a heartbeat and uninstall discord.

As a lover of RTS games, I am cautiously excited. A friend and I were talking the other day and we came to a realization that might sound mundane. Some of the things we miss about older games (specifically RTS) is that balance is so much more important now that a lot of the time, character and uniqueness get lost. If things aren't as close to perfectly balanced as possible, gamers get real angry. There were some truly unbalanced RTS games that were incredibly fun. Battle for Middle Earth had some great mechanics that were incredibly fun, but I don't many would say those games were balanced lol

Ya, feed trolling is often the source of a lot of stress and outrage. It's designed that way

I audibly responded positively to this post. That just looks and sounds divine.

They are, yes!

Ya, I was kinda torn about the bottoms. It did feel like Kahanna should be the one to go, but she just wasn't that bad in the challenge. Tough decisions

This is always a hit when we pull it out. Such a fun game

All of the recent Endless OSTs are incredible!!!

If you're into deck building Roguelites, Griftlands is an incredible game. It's developed by Klei who also made Don't Starve.

Oh no sorry. It has creators and users that business model you described afaik. There are some creators on Nebula that are also on YouTube. Nebula is not a program to watch stuff on YouTube

That's incredible! So how would this be prescribed? Can you test for the presence of amyloid? Are there precursors?
