There are some valid use cases. If I’m having a discussion with someone, and they’re downvoting all my comments, it’s pretty obvious that they’re not really replying in good faith. At that point, they’re usually here to “win” or troll rather than have a meaningful interaction. It gives insight into their intent and attitude.

But just as often, it turns out to be a random bystander doing it, so it’s important to check rather than assume.

Hiccups are actually caused by a microorganism called “hickey” getting into your lungs. When you hold your breath, you flood the organism with carbon dioxide, which kills enough of it that your immune system can handle the rest easily. If you want to read up more about it, Google search “how to remove chest hickeys”

The router where I live is configured to use Google DNS. I’d change it to use OpenDNS or something if I could, but since it’s not my router, I cannot

Oooh that’s sneaky. It feels illegal for a DNS provider to mess with lookup results in their own favour like that.

In an ideal world I would change it, but I can’t right now.

That’s really interesting. I would have thought the URLs would work the same for everybody, but maybe there’s some DNS strangeness going on, or even my device might be correcting the mistakes

There’s a hidden war over many common typos of popular domains. Almost every misspelling of YouTube redirects to the main site. Try yootube or yputube or yoitube.com. But less common misspellings or as soon as a domain registration expires, you bet some bot will snap that up and host malware, then demand a royal’s random from Google to win it back

OZ

Also scheduled summary and ruthlessly culling notification permissions. The minute an app disrespects my attention and time, their permissions get revoked.

Here’s what you missed! Don’t forget to log in!

Yeah nah

How long before the slop adapts and starts inserting typos and such?

I wish I could permanently delete all my body hair. Laser doesn’t work for me unfortunately

Anecdotally, it cured my hypertension, and random adrenaline surges from other conditions. As a bonus, it mildly helps my ADHD as well.

As an example, it’s still really hard to remember anything, but it’s physically possible to remember things now. Like, there’s a tiny tiny thread I can pull on. It’s subtle, but definitely noticeable. My dose is very low, though.

Even so, it made me extremely sleepy for about 3 weeks. So watch out for that.

Except up-to-date opening hours, apparently

Meh, half my comments end up negative anyway. I don’t give a fuck anymore

No, it doesn’t justify any of those things; that’s why I used the toxic ex analogy. A really terrible company can also make really good games, those are two separate variables. My actual ex took the Switch, and I haven’t bought another, but I am sorely tempted by Donkey Kong Bananza. It’s pretty low on my priorities though, there’s plenty of Steam games to keep me entertained

OP’s picture shows % daily value though, not % total contents. Isn’t that based on a recommended adult daily intake or whatever? Never been to the US myself, so I don’t actually know though

I have this weird relationship with co-op games. I’m either:

• Completely locked in and solve the puzzle in 2 seconds and want to win immediately and get frustrated because everyone else isn’t telepathically on the same wavelength as me and words are a clumsy and inefficient series of grunts that cannot be used to orchestrate the winning strategy efficiently.
• Completely disengaged and bored, keeping myself entertained by playing “floor is lava” or parkour with environmental props and struggling to stay awake.
• Trolling my friends and making the game as stupid as possible and we’re all laughing uncontrollably.

My friends only enjoy playing with me when I’m in the latter state. Most games I don’t like playing co-op because there’s not enough ways to be stupid. Recent example, water park simulator was great for this, you could randomly ragdoll your friends into the pool and throw poop at them. Baldur’s Gate 3 was not great for this because any trolling would result in serious consequences and not be funny, so I kind of just turned my brain off and waited for my turn.

Random story: I saw a diabetic refuse to have his gangrenous “pinky toe” removed to save his life. Not even a foot, just the one smallest toe. I think about him sometimes.

I think it’s been proven sugar is literally an addictive substance; it’s hard to say no when it’s not your rational mind in control. I have "pre"diabetes even though I never ate sugar; but I ate lots of other carbs and got unlucky. Rice and pasta and (non-American) bread every day sort of thing.

I come from an ethnicity of starvation and poverty, and there’s growing research showing that diabetes actually used to be a protective adaptation. The idea is that, if you didn’t have many carbs per day, just stretch out that 1 carrot for the whole day. It makes sense in that lens.

Then, overnight, society changed, and we’re eating 30 carrots worth of carbs every day. Body didn’t get the memo and makes those carbs last as long as possible, as it used to, but now it’s a bad thing and causes high blood sugar.

The 100g measurement is so good. Makes it extremely easy to compare foods and decide which one is healthier. Like if you see protein powder which is 31g sugar per 100g, and realise it’s literally 31% sugar, maybe don’t buy that one lol

Nuh-uh, it so to was a good game

Hate or love Nintendo, you gotta admit Mario Odyssey was a fucking good game; but I’m a sucker for 3D platformers. Personally, I hate Nintendo, but love Mario and Zelda and such, so it’s a complicated relationship for me. Like sleeping with your toxic ex every couple of years and then remembering why you left them.
