If you haven’t, check out Grayjay for YT on mobile.

I’m self-hosting Karakeep for exactly that reason, but… I still have well over 100 tabs in my mobile browser and write some things down in two separate note taking apps… Send help.

I want to add it’s especially difficult if you work in a field that’s dominated by the opposite gender. My partner and I work in the same field. He’s made a few friends at work, because they’re all guys and connected over guy things.

On the other hand, I’m the only woman in my department, younger than all my male coworkers. The very few women that work in the company I don’t click with either due to language barrier or (mostly) completely different interests.

And then my partner points fingers as if I don’t want to make friends. All of his actual, IRL friends are either school or work friends. People who have friends mostly from childhood or school underestimate how difficult it is to find new ones outside work as an adult. Especially if you’re not into partying and drinking alcohol.

While the data breach part isn’t real, the rest of it is.

Tragic for the families and affected children. I’m not the biggest fan of sperm donations considering there are obviously next to no laws that prevent hundreds of kids being born to the same sperm donor.

All of the experts we spoke to said using a licensed clinic meant the sperm would be screened for more diseases than most fathers-to-be are.

Yes, but fathers-to-be don’t usually make dozens or hundreds of babies. And sometimes by the time they want another child, the firstborn might already exhibit genetic mutations that prompts testing parents and give them a better picture of the risks of having another child.

I wish my employer did that. Instead, people go freely back with their company issued phones and notebooks. 🙄 All the security we have as certification requirements is moot when we bring these devices back into our network like it’s totally fine.

It’s insane, isn’t it? Especially when it comes from a fellow woman.

I had a pre-syncope and could barely get out of bed for a week and a half. When I told my doctor I’m worried about it reoccurring because I don’t know the cause of it, she just smiled and said that’s something that would be hard to diagnose and that I shouldn’t live in fear. And I’m like ??? Your job is literally to diagnose. I also have a few chronic illnesses, so I tend to feel up and down. She straight up told me it’s just anxiety and I should be grateful I don’t have any serious illnesses.

Unfortunately, she’s not the only one like that. Just recently I had a doctor tell me such nonsense that’s debunked with a 2 second internet search that I questioned whether he got his license off Temu.

Too many misogynists and narcissists in the field.

I’ve literally first heard about it from that episode and was deeply confused 😂

Maybe it’s a joke because we’re in the shitposting community, but on the serious note COVID19 pandemic is very much not over. Fatality rate is lower, but people still get COVID and millions have and are going to get long COVID and other lasting effects of the infection.

Yes, h. pylori can be the cause of ulcers, but it also affects many other things.

Obviously you should talk to your doctor about it, but as someone who’s been dealing with different health issues/symptoms, it could be many things. The ones that aren’t directly linked to heart issues, off the top of my head: various stomach issues (gastritis, GERD/acid reflux, h. pylori infection), vagus nerve issues (sometimes caused by stomach problems) that trigger anxiety and panic attacks, costochondritis, even things like mental trauma response can cause wild physical symptoms.

I wouldn’t go as far as to call him a child, but a very naïve young adult who will have to learn how capitalism works the hard way. As soon as he burns out and is replaced as a consequence, he will hopefully realize there’s no point in “grinding”. But considering he’s a Cybertruck owner… maybe not, lol. Plus, as the article says, working such long hours tanks productivity, anyway, so it’s a waste of both employee’s and employer’s time and money.

I do and don’t at the same time. I loved the classic hardware T9, but it gave me carpal tunnel.

When I dream my late dog who passed unexpectedly, it’s often very distressing, because I somehow know she will leave me again and I need to protect her. I usually end up crying in sleep.

There’s a difference between “I thought I was infertile” and “I literally don’t have my uterus and ovaries”. In these situations it comes off as patronizing because there’s “no way” a woman who doesn’t have her reproductive organs knows what she’s talking about. It’s one of those things that adds to the massive pile of medical mistreatment of women, and that’s why it’s a touchy topic for many.

Pregnancy test for MRI? I had one early this year (I hated it) and I certainly did not have to take a pregnancy test. Or do you mean pregnancy test in general? Because that one pisses the fuck out of women who absolutely 100% know they aren’t pregnant (haven’t had sex, don’t have their reproductive organs anymore, other possible reasons).

My home country has taken it to another level. Politicians doing their usual corruption thing. Worsening living conditions force people to move to other countries in search of a better life. The ruling right wing party’s “solution” has been to import slave labor from a poor South Asian country, while refusing to fix any existing issues (rent and grocery prices, health care falling apart, wages not keeping up with rising costs, etc.). But I’m sure they’re happy that the useful idiots now blame the immigrants for XYZ instead of the government fucking everyone over.

It’s an extremely dumb mentality. In my country (mostly countryside) people just get rid of the puppies and kittens in awful ways. Put them in a bag and throw them in the river, strangle them, give them to vets to put them down or what my late neighbor did bury them alive right after they’re born. It’s sickening.

I’m utterly shocked people in my home country are finally showing up in the streets. Croatians have been quite passive for decades, letting our politicians rob us blind. Thompson can go fuck himself, but so can all the people I personally know who went to his concert. It’s genuinely pathetic.

Yeah, many people have chronic illnesses that either cause pain or drain energy, and it becomes hard or impossible to remain active and pain-free. Ever since developing mine in late 20s, I’m far less judgemental and more understanding of people’s situations.
