  I miss forums so much. A federated backend for forums would be nice. I’m so tired of having these giant communities of angry strangers if I want to talk about anything

  No, b12 deficiency causes anaemia, but it’s also independently a cause of nerve degradation and cognitive issues, much moreso than just iron deficiency. However it’d also be a little odd for two people in a couple to both get it at the same time.

  I don’t think that’s universal. I work for a NFP and the pay is about the same but the work environment is far, far better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a very odd comment.

  1. I’m not sure how my comment could possibly have been any more calm. I’m just cautioning on sharing that specific type of information without a source handy.
  2. You had not posted sources when I left my comment. I cannot predict what you’ll post before you post it.
  3. Brains are part of biology. Biology does not mean “unchanging”, I’m very familiar with neuroplasticity.
  4. I’m a card carrying socialist. Wrote the card myself. I’m also a doctor and don’t like seeing pop science shared uncritically as a way to imply biological superiority over my opponents, because it doesn’t help my cause in any way.

  For someone attacking me for perceived anger, I feel like you could take some of your own advice re. counting to ten before posting.

  This is the kind of factoid you shouldn’t spread unless you’re prepared to back it up with a lot of hard data and sources, since you’re essentially arguing biological superiority over your opponents. Very little comes from that

  Agreed on the sleeping better. There are things it had that Lemmy doesn’t but honestly I never want this site to catch all the way up. Reddit had become bad for me.

  What better way to show how much you don’t care about Reddit than to spend all your time talking about it?
