I see. There was an image earlier. Just not the link
- Comment on Viral anti-masturbation app exposed sensitive user data 1 week ago:
Many Christians believe it is sinful, because generally they are uptight as hell about anything regarding sexuality.
- Comment on What's In Ozempic 1 week ago:
Huh?
- Comment on Viral anti-masturbation app exposed sensitive user data 1 week ago:
It’s quite creepy and I can definitely picture these uptight evangelical Christian type people thinking it’s totally normal. So weird.
- Comment on Viral anti-masturbation app exposed sensitive user data 1 week ago:
The US speaker of the house Mike Johnson has mentioned many times how he and his son monitor each other’s masturbation habits through an app
- Comment on Viral anti-masturbation app exposed sensitive user data 1 week ago:
Huh, I wonder if I should share intimate potentially embarrassing and blackmail worthy details with some random tech company who had an app
- Comment on What differentiates Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and PieFed? 1 week ago:
They all do basically the same thing and can be connected through ActivityPub. However, they all have a totally different code base as they are separate projects, other than that Mbin is a fork of Kbin. As far as how it is being an admin or mod on any, I can’t speak from experience.
- Comment on Kentucky bourbon and other alcohol exports to Canada drop by 63% year after Trump imposed steep tariffs 2 weeks ago:
Definitely notable how Trump and the idiot class don’t realize it affects exports too
- Comment on How the 'K-shaped' economy is showing up at two big U.S. gyms 2 weeks ago:
They have different types of gyms. Apparently the more standard ones are $99 now and the larger luxury ones are over $300. The one I checked out has a heated outdoor olympic size swimming pool year round (lovely waste of resources!)
- Comment on How the 'K-shaped' economy is showing up at two big U.S. gyms 2 weeks ago:
I recently found out about Life Time. Yep, definitely for a very different income bracket than I am in… There’s a huge facility near me and I grew curious, and looked into it. $330 a month
- Comment on How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a chance to look through? 2 months 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? 2 months 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 2 months 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 3 months ago:
those things happened over 25 years ago, so not really

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.
- Comment on It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died 3 months ago:
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

It’s not too cold there
- Comment on Insulin 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago:
The deductible system is ridiculous.
- Comment on Insulin 3 months ago:
The subs would be R and NPH, not the old mixed formulas like 70/30.
- Comment on Insulin 3 months 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?
- Comment on The Men Who Stare at Goats 3 months ago:
There are rumors about him sexually abusing young boys as well
- Comment on Despite having heard the phrase 'passive aggressive' several times, I still don't know what it means. 4 months ago:
It means someone saying something that on the surface sounds nice, but is actually meant to be insulting or challenging. It can be subtle until you learn to recognize it. Even then, it’s annoying because sometimes one has to question "were they being passive
- Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea 4 months ago:
What about … an electric car?

I’ve been learning that I’m way more extroverted than a lot of people. I’m Ready to drink, smoke and hang out until the bitter end.
- Comment on Trump backpedals as Hyundai factory ICE raid enrages South Korea: Nice plans for US manufacturing you had there, shame if something was to happen to them 5 months ago:
I wish, among other things, that someone would teach this degenerate cretin when and why to use capital letters.

It was fairly common in the US decades ago.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months 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.
