- Comment on How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a change to go through? 6 days ago:
As you open them. I consider it an abysmal practice to collect hundreds of open tabs in the first place.
- Comment on Is Winnie the Pooh considered "racist" now or are .ml folks using it as an excuse to defend Xi Jin Ping? 6 days ago:
Anything opposing the government of China is an anathema to them, since apparently they love capitalist oligarchies.
- Comment on It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died 5 weeks ago:
Thanks. I’m a pretty dedicated alcoholic at this point, but I don’t screw around with otehr substances.
- Comment on It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died 5 weeks ago:
those things happened over 25 years ago, so not really
- Comment on It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died 5 weeks ago:
the topic was “wow, I’ve been really lucky”. It’s okay, here were are and he’s 85 with Alzheimers and I’m almost 50. So we made it. Overall, though, if I had a complaint about him, it’s that he wasn’t very aware or engaged in my life from day to day.

I’ve had a few good ones. I recounted them to my dad one time, I recall. Experimenting with prescription drugs as a kid (muscle relaxants when I was like 8), driving in the rain with no license when I was 15, excess opiates that one time, too many sedatives with alcohol a couple of times, and then the legit health problems… I had seizures from low blood glucose a time or two. Pretty exciting record imo

- Comment on Insulin 1 month ago:
The extra ridiculous thing is how they deny services that a doctor says are medically necessary… and not even in a reasonable way, in an abusive way. Like the system that automatically denies 60,000 things an hour or whatever, and count on people wasting tons of time to challenge it. Or when they have an ophthalmologist review your kidney disease and say that some treatment isn’t warranted. And that’s even after you’ve paid your stupid deductible costs for the year.
- Comment on Insulin 1 month ago:
A unit is a unit, so the dosages are the same. What varies is onset curve and length of action, so timing.
- Comment on Insulin 1 month ago:
The deductible system is ridiculous.
- Comment on Insulin 1 month ago:
The subs would be R and NPH, not the old mixed formulas like 70/30.
- Comment on Insulin 1 month ago:
The old formulas you can buy OTC for $25 are more inconvenient to use, but will indeed keep you from dying. The main difference between the R insulin and Novolog/Humalog are how quickly they act. Novolog starts lowering your glucose in about 60 minutes while the R takes 2 hours. Dietary management is not related to which insulin you’re using. So yes, the claim that OOP’s only alternative to paying $800 was to die is not true.

Source on the existence of unsubstantiated rumors? How would that help?

It was fairly common in the US decades ago.

They used to be better. I had a lot of success when they were relatively new. However the culture around them has gotten worse and more toxic, and the companies have grown more abusive of customers. Just what I gather… I haven’t tried since 2019.
Tinder was okay for meeting people interested in actual relationships when it was newer. It seemed to turn into more of purely a shallow hookup site. I tried Bumble, and that worked, though it apparently is not as good as it used to be. Never tried Hinge or any of the others.

I’m referring to things I explicitly signed up for.
- Comment on Dozens of spam messages daily now 10 months ago:
If you try unsubbing and it doesn’t work, then that fits. I just suspect a lot of people don’t even try. I’m just tired of having things I signed up for ant want show up in spam.
Most recently I ordered some merch from Atari and all of their mails went to spam, including responses from customer service, which is annoying because I thought they just never wrote back.
- Comment on Dozens of spam messages daily now 10 months ago:
Not lately. My gmails Spam sections mostly have legitimate marketing and news emails that idiots have apparently reported as spam instead of just unsubscribing from.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
It seemed pretty out of left field. Like, okay… I’m not clicking on any of that. No explanation of why someone would message me this and as I expected, it seems to have been some sort of widespread spam.
- Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds 11 months ago:
That’s what I do not understand. She does use home telephones the same way, on speaker, but with those she comprehends it’s not always in speaker mode and if not, to hold it up to her ear.
- Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds 11 months ago:
My mom has long been clueless and resistant about anything tech related. Years back I switched her laptop to Linux because I was so sick of all the stupid crap with malware on windows. We used to have to Fix her computer one or more times a month. With Linux, that went to zero, and the only issue was setting up the software to download images from her camera (this was about 2010). These days she has a Chromebook and is constantly convinced it’s “screwed up”.
- Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds 11 months ago:
My mother can’t comprehend how to use a cell phone without it being on speaker. She also doesn’t know how to switch it to speaker. If I hand her the phone in normal mode she holds it out in front of her and can’t figure out why she can’t hear anything.

It’s kind of amusing how all the sources for this community are complete crap. Zerohedge, breitbart, dailywire are all as biased as can be.

Just look at the argumentative, insulting and provocative discussion style. OP is absolutely a troll of some sort, alright it’s difficult to distinguish that from a typical deluded and fanatical conservative.

Too bad republicans don’t even remotely give a fuck about making sure those babies have decent lives and support after they’re born.
