I have heard the biggest risk of the surgery is basically “permanent” dry eyes. Might not sound like a big deal but to me it sounds like torture.

What’s the relation of this gif in your post to the static photo? It’s this an ad in the Duolingo app or something? It’s hard to make the connection to that. And this part of the gif is small and in the corner. All you need next time is a bit more of a description!

I clicked on the post instead of scrolling by and I am still incredibly confused.

Sadly mine doesn’t seem to work properly. Nothing in that region does.

Me irl.

Sad thing is that having a spouse doesn’t at all stop a hell of a lot of people. To be clear, I’m not saying this is limited to men…all genders do this. I’ve personally never understood why. If you don’t want to be with your significant other, break up with them. It’s a zillion times worse to betray their trust and intimacy and then break up anyway when they find out.

Right…the idea isn’t to make it foolproof, it’s just to make a barrier. People generally go for easier targets over ones with a small barrier. If you have two bikes next to each other in public, one with a bike lock and one with no lock at all, the casual thief is way more likely to steal the one without a lock. Bike locks can easily be broken, but they serve as a deterrent.

I deliberately use the print as image feature if I don’t want someone to be able to select text or search the document (like if I’m sending something with sensitive info as an attachment to an email). Most of the time, I have that option disabled so the document can be searchable and text can be copied from it.

It’s difficult, man. It will probably make you happier if you could just forget about it, but brains don’t work that way. Plus some people just seem to be way better at it than others.

A mildly traumatic thing happened in my workplace. I have plenty of functional days, but other days things return to my brain without my inviting them and it makes it more difficult to function. Sometimes I get transported back into time like I’m there.

One thing I read about is the concept of mental “time traveling”. When we remember these things, it’s like we are literally back in that very moment. But that is not what is happening right at this very moment. You are “safe”. You are not back in time being harmed right now.

Is it wise to not trust her anymore if she has proven herself to be untrustworthy? Absolutely.

But in order to free yourself better, you have to first notice that you are time traveling. Then look at things in your environment. Not her, but try to take in all of the sensory input around you. Remind yourself that you are here, not there. Recognize that the only time that exists is right now. Even one second in the past no longer exists and even one second in the future doesn’t exist yet. Work with what is around you now.

Idk if that is at all helpful, just something that I have read about lately. Way fucking easier said than done because I still struggle.

Wishing you well.

I thought this was a Mickey7 post until I read the username.

Yeah this was it for me. Best app ever…no bullshit ads or anything…and I was really upset that Reddit forcefully killed it for money. However, I did find that the app Red Reader is allowed to exist because of its accessibility features for the visually impaired. It’s a good browsing experience…simple and no ads or BS.

I still do browse Reddit because a lot of the communities I visit on there either don’t exist on Lemmy or are too underpopulated for much of any content. Please don’t tell me to just “post more content” myself. The point is I often don’t have much content for the communities I visit. Like it or not, a community with 10 active members just isn’t enough to have much to participate with, even if I am the one posting most of the content. For example, there is a tattoo community I stumbled across on Lemmy. But I only have so many tattoos. So obviously I cannot fill the page with endless more content.

Good luck scooping up a motherfucking house centipede. They move at like five billion miles per hour.

Well…I am only one person, but if it adds to anything, I have literally never cared. Not when I first got internet as a pre teen and not now.

No prob lol. Hope that satisfied whatever hypothesis you had!!

I honestly don’t cook so it is a non issue for me. I don’t set my takeout and silverware directly onto the counter without a plate. I have always kept fruit and veggies in the fridge, even if you can technically leave them unrefrigerated. Maybe I’m weird, but I put things like apples and loaves of bread in the fridge, even before getting a cat. I get microwavable things that go directly from the freezer into the microwave.

I built a whole ass cat wall and my cat has literally never used it beyond one step.

Even though he can jump crazy high and far, I’m wondering if he would like some intermediate steps between the shelves but idk. I did notice that he stumbled jumping between them for treats the one time.

This essentially answers my question of how in the world were flails like in the OP’s question a thing? Answer: they probably never were

Even child me was confused at how you could use such a weapon without injuring yourself.

Am I missing something or are you conflating two different issues? Why isn’t anyone saying anything about this?

Password security and internet privacy are totally independent issues. I obviously don’t want random people to be able to log into my bank account and steal my money.

But I’m sorry, I’m one of those people who don’t care about “privacy”, even after reading all of your comments here. Everyone is keen on using “slippery slope” sentiments like “suddenly the government is going to go after you for 3D printing” or “suddenly the government is going to throw you in jail for chronically going little bit over the speed limit” or even that the government is going to hunt you down for using Lemmy.

It’s like well…yes…those are technically within the realm of possibility. I’ll give you that. But is it likely to ever happen? No, not really. Some of us are ok with that probability. It’s ok if you aren’t. But it’s ok for those of us that are.

Most people on Lemmy read as doomsday preppers to me. I’d wager many here are preppers. You have to understand how outside the norm you guys all are and how outside the likelihood of what you’re saying can be. Check out some prepper communities if you’re interested in what I see in you all.

I hope this doesn’t offend anyone. I also just hope that you can see why it’s ok to let non-preppers continue to be non-preppers. Idk.
