This is an ad

Considering how much medication can help, uh, yeah, do those things. Its a trivial inconvenience compared to living unmedicated.

Also 5k is a lot, maybe if you're uninsured? Hell, getting an uninsured MRI is cheaper than that. And health insurance is kind of a must for living with a disability.

Don't like sentiments like this. I feel like it prevents people from getting the help they need.

I saw a dude with a Cyuck (shorthand for cyber truck) at Costco the other day trying and failing to fit his new TV into the bed lol

At one point he gave up and tried fitting it into the back seat which didn't fare much better

They went non-profit recently to specifically prevent this from happening.

This. The internet feels like its getting lonelier. The only relationships available are either parasocial, or with bots...

This is the first time its worked smoothly, I wonder if its host dependent? I'm on Sync.

We got a "bill" from a company like this that wanted ~300 bucks to "list your companies name on our website". That was it. You paid them, and you got added to the list of accountants that didn't read the fine print. Pretty clever, if obnoxious.

Make an app that is a little ASCII potted plant in your terminal and every time you type something it waters the plant and it grows

Everyone's talking about killing people and I'm here thinking about how you could try every drug imaginable with zero risk of addiction

Midriff in general just goes hard tho

Probably Iceland. Try to get some land, plant some trees and start a forestry business or a small farm. Ideally close enough to existing geothermal networks that I could still take advantage of the dirt cheap hot water. Enjoy the rain and fog and natural beauty of the place. Would be lovely.

Yeah, coming from someone who's tried it, the jailbreak is sorta useles at the moment. Hoping someone comes along and improves on it. Spite is an excellent motivator.

Would make for a lovely home assistant control device.

I like this format for public address

Your points have been heard and my opinion has been swayed

I appreciate the research and sources you've listed here. Its quite interesting from an impact perspective.

I've lurked for a while, but I made an account just so I could comment on what a brain-dead take this is. Referring to ADHD meds prescribed by a licensed physician as "stimmies" perpetuates the idea that ADHD is nothing more than a "lazy person" illness, and that our medication is merely a crutch or an "addiction".

Furthermore, people don't "choose meds over other pleasures in life". Meds are the reason we can achieve and enjoy pleasures in life. Needing medication is not fucking "dependency" akin to a drug addict. Jeez, I guess you must have a real problem with diabetics always neededing their next hit of insulin too, am I right?

Unreal. You're doing way more harm than good and I suggest you check yourself before doing even more damage.

Ask me anything about gators and I'll make something up

Ayo what the fuck how'd you do that

Would be cool to do a census.

I don't think I could eat whole bugs, but bug flour? Easy.

I tried these Magnesium drink tablets while I was in Europe. Could feel how much it helped. Can't find anything similar in the States :\

This is also good, but, on the other hand, airships are awesome

This was me this week :( 55 day streak gone

I dont know what this is but I want it

I was wondering where this post went. I was so confused when it dissapeared - someone in the comments had mentioned a community called "nuance posting" or something and I was trying to find it :\

Stopped using Discord a few months ago. Not for any specific reason, just felt like I wasn't using my time effectively. Anyone important added me on Signal, and then I deleted the apps from my phone and computer.

I can't put words to how much better my mental health has gotten.

This doesn't really relate to your comment, I guess, but just thought I would mention it in case anyone else is considering taking a break from the platform.

Coming up on 8 years. I'm in my late 20s.

I had a string of very intense relationships early on and found life much less stressful without one.

I have enjoyed it. But approaching my 30s I've realized how much I want to share my life with someone. I am fortunate enough to have many close friends, both male and female, and would love to have that chemistry and support available daily, in a more intimate context.

Pros, unquestionable agency. Cons, occasional intense loneliness and being unable to spend much time with friends who are in their own relationships.

A partnership is a goal of mine, yes. But I'm reaching for that goal by first working to make sure I'm the best possible version of myself that I can be.

Not worth it

I hate this meme format. I don't know what exactly about it that I hate. Perhaps that its always used in a subtly inflammatory manner. Not sure. But I hate it.

That is all.

Culturally, not a fan, for many reasons others have mentioned - and the whole caste system thing tends to sour a lot of the otherwise positive aspects.

That said, the food is EXCELLENT, and that must not be overlooked.

Wasn't that expensive when I went last year, actually felt relatively affordable. Actually, all of Europe felt affordable compared to food prices in the US...

Initiate conversation with no pretext

I've typed at least four different semi-witty options but honestly I think that relating to the sheer choice anxiety I am experiencing from this post is probably my best option full send

From experience, Lemmy/Mastadon is a lot easier to pitch to potential users than Linux lol

Upon typing this out I realized I had originally picked up my phone to receive a verification code which has now since expired -_-

I got my whole family on it, and generally all my closest friends have it as at least a backup. As the other chat apps falter it's been easier to convert people.

What does it mean?
