Firstly, * woosh *? Or am I being wooshed? Haha. Happy new year!

Also, nah, my dude. I’m incredibly grateful to’ve had great English/English comp teachers since 7th grade. You make me blush; it’s not an exact copy of op’s writing style here, but I tried :3

This dude hit the nail on the head, imo https://lemmy.world/comment/14218130
Speaking and writing in a human-readable way does take practice and time.

In threads app, I clicked over to the profile tab (or, my account page, idk)
Two unequal lines in the top corner (wtf, why isn’t it a hamburger menu-icon),
Took me to a page called “<- Settings” (oh, uh, not sure how I got here without a gear icon; am I old now),
Clicked down to “Account”
And there should be an option, “Fediverse sharing beta”

Am US based though. I’m not sure how meta filtered accounts they opened that feature to, if you don’t have it.

I really liked this explanation going beyond the webmd “BaCTeRiA & ViRuSes caused ur diarrhea”, and I really like sources and further reading material, so

“Gut Microbiota and Diarrhea: An Updated Review”
https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/cellular-and-infection-microbiology/articles/10.3389/fcimb.2021.625210/full

Right after the Introduction section is “Gut Microbiota-Mediated Diarrhea and Its Mechanism”. The authors go into how some example bacteria/fungi/viruses stimulate diarrhea.

My take away has been 1) drink water, 2) if it doesn’t feel like a one-time wee out the wrong hole, probably go see a doctor

ikr, like fr, sometimes i think it’s because maybe i’m just, like, short, but wtf no joke, one of my closest friends rn is shorter than me and with my other friends, i still get treated like i was less mature?? one time one of my coworkers actually said that, not cool wth, and i feel a bit outcast when they all act like that, like, this is just how I talk, so why can’t they respect that i’m pretty much the same generation as you guys, i slouch just like they do, and sometimes they have even worse posture, but then like why do they have to low key drop these bad vibes on me, cause ong, it’s so demeaning when they say something slow like they think they’re being thoughtful, and maybe sometimes the nice people really are, but mostly they come across sarcastic and fake!!! but i can deal with, most of the time, idk

Back into the spirit of c/NoStupidQuestions – follow up question! What do you think they believe Proper Adults act and speak like?

One of my strategies is to first ask myself, “Does it matter? How much?” and then “What could I do about it? Do I care enough to do that?”

Then I act or shrug or medicate or politely interrogate why-incompetent-person-did-incompetent-goddamn-thing based on that.

Experience: worked a service job for too long, judging an issue’s worth to me is like a reflex now. It takes practice

Do you have any links to recommend to check out for further reading/watching? Or what search terms should help me find this the best? Ty :u

All I wanna be
Is someone who gets to see
A giant woman

How have I never realized the chorus was a haiku

I can’t even view reddit (logged out) with my vpn on. :<

11. Is the PSU switch on

Aren’t bullets expensive though ;. ;

It’s not public; it’s exclusive. I don’t want to have to register just to view posts.

Twitter links are harder to get through than paywalled articles, so they’re about about as worth reading to me as facebook posts.

Chiming in with Boost, and I can’t find karma-like counts. Maybe a different app?

I used to be unable to hold my right hand still in the air without slight tremors, and I noticed how it went away some months after I quit playing this one mmo with excessive clicking. Phlebotomy is so much easier with a calm hand. Maybe the toy would help if it’s hands-free?

Adding this fun read because I know hands do get numb from holding strongly vibrating things for excessive periods of time: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/83-110/default.html

Moreso in your jerking hand, or both? Not that I have any qualifications to answer further – better to check with your doctor how serious it is.

IS THIS Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell??

(it’s a webcomic, I loved the story)

Fam, the TLDR I’m hearing isn’t “wish my folks made healthier life choices and hadn’t conceived me in such a specifically shameful manner that affects my life”, but “I wish I was never born, DAE feel this way?”

My answer is that, this seems deeper than what lemmy can offer, it’s worth talking to a therapist about, and I hope you can find a way forward for you.

“I never learned or thought about how long my trash will actually insist on existing and polluting my environment. I’m completely ignorant of how incredibly slowly plastic decomposes and how toxic it is for plastic to leach into the lowest parts of the food chain and concentrate on its way up.”

“AFAIK, because the earth will take care of it somehow - everything turns into dirt when you leave it in the dirt long enough, right?”

“I’m just sooo ignorant, plastic will just break back up into little plastic fibers and the ocean can recycle it for us, like tree bark or w/e, right?”

That’s my best, but still invalid, justification. What do I win ::: spoiler spoiler /sarcasm (I hope this spoiler works bc it’s not working on boost) :::

I once convinced one of my aunts that leaving your cart out gives companies another excuse to raise prices again
(not that I actually think that’s true; i just didn’t want to feel like an butthole for leaving our cart out)

Like taxes on luxury goods?

So this reminds of this book I read called The Circle, in which everyone’s fascination with technology and tracking and data collecting slippery-sloped at breakneck speed into 1984, except any stranger with an internet connection became your Big Brother.

We have many other environmental ways to encourage people to drive slower, like narrower lanes, or those long thin rumble-strip-style speed bumps, or landscaping with greenery.

BTW, why is it so hard to get information off google on traffic calming studies for freeways? Everything is about urban or suburban areas, smh. When I use “freeways” in quotes, suddenly I get a whole bunch of irrelevant results about people trying to get over their fear of driving on the freeway. Wtf google.

Thanks. Now I could easily see the havoc one troll with a sign can do with over-regulating like this.
