Do people tell it their name a lot? Even when asking for help with something personalized (like a resume) I still tend to react my name and edit it in myself after.

… Is this just me?

Banned from entire communities or instances, similar to the other people in the thread who are saying that’s why they don’t comment. Some people are very sensitive about getting downvotes.

Careful, you can get banned for voting “wrong” too

“People saying I am wrong prove I’m right!”

As someone who has had 8 different cats over the years, I can verify this is not necessarily true.

In my experience it usually meant the cat preferred running water over standing water in a bowl. Sometimes it meant the cat didn’t like the size or shape of their bowl.

Sometimes it means your cat is a defiant nut who doesn’t like things you put out for him, but will gladly drink out of the dog’s bowl, a glass of water, or the toilet.

“The Good Place” suggested that what you have done is less important than what you are currently doing to improve as a person.

You may never erase the your moral failings from the past, but as long as you are still trying to be better, that’s what matters.

This seems backwards. Isn’t Pixel the Google phone? What you’re saying is all other other phone makers besides Google are reaping the benefits while giving nothing back, isn’t it?

Gelsinger was hired as a known long time engineer, rather than as a business expert. I would trust his numbers from an engineering perspective, even though I was laid off under his rule

Sounds like Snakes on a Plane to me. That’s precisely what I found fun about that ridiculous film

I’m my experience the scaled sort just has the same problem only the opposite. You end up with a feed full of mostly brand new posts in empty communities.

Either a dozen posts by a moderator of one community, or a single user posting the same thing to a dozen vaguely related communities.

Not that it helps people who literally can’t afford it… But dental “checkups” are primarily about doing the cleaning, which is for preventing issues before they get that big. Identifying existing issues is secondary, but the regular dental appointment is doing more actual work than your typical physical examination.

Which is why most dental plans cover regular cleanings entirely, but you need to pay out of pocket for any other work you want. They would rather pay the entire cleaning bill every 6 months than pay part of your root canal once.

A mild headache is not even an inconvenience in my experience, so “suffer through it” is hyperbolic. As I said, they are most often caused by not drinking enough water, and drinking more water will usually resolve it anyway. If you want to drink tea instead of water, it’s basically the same results, but it’s the hydration that makes the difference.

If it is more than a mild headache and actually bothering me, then I’ll go for a proper pain relief medication. I keep that on hand for that reason.

Well I just suffer through it if it’s just a little headache. I’d rather not use any medication unless it’s actually hindering my ability to be productive.

The majority of the time, a headache like that is caused by not drinking enough water in the first place, and that’s always a better place to start

Lots of things from nature are not going to be good for you simply by being natural. And most medications come from studying the effects of things found in nature on biology.

I’ll use treatments and medications that have studies backing their health impact. Occasionally those may be herbal supplements for better nutrition, but most herbal remedies that we know actually work are just a less effective form of the refined medications and treatments that have been developed. If the medication or conventional treatment is readily available, I would pick that first

And “alternative treatments” are nearly always complete bunk.

Nah, it was said multiple times in the Disney cartoon from the 70s, including in the ending sequence

Communities aren’t hashtags!

Don’t worry, he’s died like 5 times

Try using one of the PWA’s, like Voyager. Just go to vger.app in your browser. It’s still a browser-based front end, but it has more features than the default interface

Which leads me to wonder what they do that test for. You failed, and they just… Scratched their heads in confusion?

Wouldn’t this be an indicator of a neurological issue?

I thought Speed Racer was visually fantastic, and did a good job capturing some of the feel of the original show while putting a more modern spin on it. John Goodman feels like he can do no wrong. I just had a good time with it the whole time through.

It seems most people didn’t feel the same way I did
