I like how Lemmy is reminiscent of early Internet forums and how users have a choice to share as little or as much as they want about themselves. Having online status publicly displayed detracts from that experience. We shouldn’t have to justify being offline or simply not wanting to respond right away. The internet is at our fingertips but it doesn’t mean we need to be accessible all the time.

Observe how they treat people who they don’t benefit from in financial, sexual, or other material ways. Don’t rush to be too generous with them.

That would counteract the intelligence part of AI…but there would be no victors in that battle.

Medical tourism is a real thing. Whether you will pay less than you would in the US will depend on the country you go to and the procedure. Without insurance you are still likely to pay a lot of money at a private clinic. You also have to factor in whether you will need follow-up appointments and plan for complications because those costs plus the costs of multiple overseas trips and living accommodations will add up.

A pillow between the knees is a gift for side sleepers regardless of age!

It’s true that people do develop a tolerance to caffeine if they drink it regularly, but even when I didn’t drink it often, I didn’t feel a difference after having a coffee in the morning and or if I drank some late at night in an attempt to stay up later.

It must be so nice to be in the category of people who are able to be energized or kept awake by caffeine :(

Going to make it a priority to introduce the poo of other animals into my vernacular.

“Did you see that performance last night? Absolutely yakshit!”

Congratulations on your five new cats!

A light sleeper just means that your sleep is easily disturbed by small changes in your surroundings (like the turn of a doorknob, a car passing by outside, a text message to a phone on vibrate). There isn’t a strict criteria for it.

Either people who see positive results equate “more” with “better”, or plastic surgery doesn’t fix the underlying insecurities and self-scrutiny that caused them to get it in the first place.

Exercise programs, language courses, and music streaming services are a few things you can try out before committing to them. The free trial should be enough to determine whether the methods are helpful enough for you want to continue for the first two, and the latter is a convenient way of discovering new music without ads that doesn’t drain your battery quickly.

The shower is my happy place. Why would you possibly want to add stress to it? :D

This is what happens when you feed one after midnight.
