Fun fact: consuming coca leaves (from which cocaine is made) is legal in some Latin American countries. It helps with nausea.
- Comment on You're filling my feed with garbage 1 day ago:
I found it’s easier to make Piefed feeds of non-politics and non-tech communities
- Comment on Tip or skip? How US-style tipping culture is creeping into Australia 5 days ago:
The problem is that you’d be spitting on the wrong face.
Tipping culture is an effective tactic to turn us against one another.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 5 days ago:
A friend who did a lot of presentations said: always have backups for everything.
- spare laptop
- duplicates of all kinds of connectors & cables
- projector and external speakers (if all in-person audience)
- know of any other available rooms nearby
- copies of presentation on USB and online
- etc.
I went on a business trip with him once, and we all carried 2 bags each of equipment. Last I heard, he ended up working for a large entertainment company in LA.

- Comment on Where did I go wrong? 3 weeks ago:
ikr I think one of the main reasons the Nemi comics never hit it big in the US is bc they don’t have very good translations.

I’ve found myself posting memes from Lemmy to Mastodon. Dunno what that’s called.

- Comment on I either want to learn French or Italian. Which should I learn in your opinion? 1 month ago:
I still have a big problem understanding spoken French, especially if it’s by one native speaker to another. And I’ve discovered that my French accent is literally laughable. In contrast, I find Italian much easier to understand and speak.
- Comment on I either want to learn French or Italian. Which should I learn in your opinion? 1 month ago:
Italian might cause me to mix up Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian
For speaking the language, that’s a consideration. But if you’re listening or reading, I’ve found they tend to strengthen one another.
I suggest the following:
- do you want a “quick win”? Then go for Italian
- do you want a challenge, to keep building on in the future? Then go for French.

- Comment on This homeless character, who doesn't go to the gym and survives on junk food, somehow weights 300lbs of pure muscle 1 month ago:
Thanks for sharing the process you went through.
I had/have the same problems with doctors here in the US. Even if they’re good, they just don’t have enough time to work with any individual patient.
The first personal trainer I went to wasn’t that good, but the second was great, and I got in a lot better shape and got comfortable working with machines.
The Peter Attia book and Joe Delaney channel sound interesting, I’ll check those out!
- Comment on Ugh, here we go again, gotta get ready for a bunch of bullshit 1 month ago:
Xfinity is a curse from hell. Over the years I’ve had to help my elderly aunt with various problems with their account. A couple different things that worked:
1) went into an Xfinity store. This helped for simpler account things. People there were generally cool, it was just a job and I think they knew the whole company was a mess, they’d give me tips on how to get to the right place and solve the problem.
2) convinced the AI bot that it was a problem that it couldn’t solve. Then I got a human in the chat, who could actually help.
3) went to the web-based “help bulletin board” (I found this through the account’s panel) and posted the problem there. There were several unhelpful “community expert” responses but eventually someone who worked there guided me to a web-based chat with their first-line tech support, i.e. so I could give account information. It took them half an hour to reply to anything I said. I explained things VERY CAREFULLY repeating everything we’d established so far (I imagined I was talking to an evil genie) and they eventually gave me a phone number to call, and that person could indeed help me.
