Buying supplements for this harmless a phenomenon is kinda crazy.

Doubt that. Falling like this happens to me every winter, it’s not that bad, it just hurts for a week or two after that.

Bad take imo. You don’t control any of that, but you do control how financially educated you are, and despite the “greedy landlords” it can still make a huge difference. There are still a LOT of people who buy basic items on payment plans, for example.

I like Satisfactory but it’s so much more shallow than factorio, especially when mods get involved. It’s also poorly optimized (at least compared to factorio, which I don’t think any game has come close to in that regard). It’s a fun game to play once or twice, or for people who don’t have much time to sink into it, but it gets boring pretty quickly imo. Factorio on the other hand has some of it’s most popular mods take 100+ hours to complete.

Of course I agree a long wait time for treatment is better than no treatment at all. But the common concern here I hear from most people around me is that it’s generally much slower (at least in Quebec) than in other countries with such healthcare (eg. Scandinavian countries). How much of that is just a case of “the grass is greener on the other side”, I do not know.

I’ve been fortunate enough to not require healthcare so far, though I’m not sure how it will go when I need it. The population is getting older, and older people generally need more healthcare. That’s less health workers for more sick people and less workers paying for more healthcare.

Might depend where you live. Here in Quebec, I know someone who could either get his cancer cured in 2+ years here (which would have been too late, but technically free or almost free), or instantly in the US but for 200k, so he raised money and got it cured in the US.

Could be that this isn’t the same in other parts of Canada, but at least in Quebec, this kind of story is very common. At a smaller scale, one would pay to go to the private sector here instead.

Yes, and when you press ‘Home’ it just teleports you home. It’s such a big time saver.

Maybe, but this isn’t just any year, this is THE year of the linux desktop.

How can I say they are flawed? I’m not an expert in politics. One side tells me they are correct, the other tells me not. If I took the time to research it then maybe I could understand and make my own opinion, but there are so many (imo) more interesting things to research than politics.

But honestly, if you think relating opinions you disagree with is harmful, then perhaps you’re already too far gone. Everyone who truly believes my so-called “claims” are wrong should have no problem just ignoring them. Those who could actually be persuaded they are true do not know enough to make an informed decision about which side is correct, or if any is, anyway.

This is insane. I have nothing agaisnt trans people, I don’t know where you got that idea. Then doing whatever they want to their bodies affects in no way whatsoever.

This is a subject I know little about. On one hand there’s lemmy’s opinion, on the other there’s IRL’s opinion and they are very different. I did the exact same to them, brought them lemmy’s arguments. Unfortuntately they reacted the exact same as you, called me a woke socialist and moved on.

I don’t know why you’d send me to r/conservative, I’m a leftist and will surely always be, though I’m sure not as extreme as you. It’s true though lemmy brought me closer to the right than I’ve ever been.

When did I ever make a claim? The first sentence of my first comment was literally that this was what I heard, not that it was the truth.

I myself don’t care enough about politics to really know what the situation is, hence why I did not state my opinion on the matter, but one thing I do know is that what lemmy seems to think is very different from what people actually think when you leave your basement.

To quote Russell:

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

Lemmy, just like far-right forums, seems to be full of people sure of themselves.

I’m not pushing anything, I’m relating the opinions of people around me. Why the fuck would you expect me to bring evidence for that? I don’t know shit about this issue, I’m telling you what I hear people say. Argue with them not me.

I agree with all of this, really it’s the ugly 1% that most conservatives are upset about.

What else do you expect? I’m not giving you a scientific paper here, I’m giving you a testimony. Ever heard of those? Mostly it’s the info I gathered over the christmas holidays from younger people who are still in school.

It’s what I explained. Not that it is literally that, but that the way they talk about it can sometimes be seen as pushy. All I know is what my young family members tell me, this was not a thing when I was at school.

This only happens on mobile, so I can’t really check the console.

I just went ahead and filled it on my computer instead.

What you linked is very different. It’s something you write down but are expected to still remember later. If this helps you with your grocery list, then yes this is good, but if instead of actually using your memory you look at the list, that’s what’s bad. Writing itself is very good, it’s not having to recall it that’s not.

In a test at school for example, handwritten notes does help memory, since you’re still expected to use your brain later to remember it, as opposed to reading the notes.

Note that while I say it’s “bad”, it’s really just one factor among many. Just like everyone knows sugar is bad yet everyone consumes it to some extent. But the more of those “bad” things you avoid, the more likely you are to suffer from memory issues later.

Yes, a grocery list isn’t hard to remember at all if you have somewhat decent memory. It’s made even easier if you know where the items are in the store since you can memorise the distance and path instead of the items themselves.

Mine autodecrypts with a hardcoded password in a text file. I don’t really care about encryption right now, but the minute I do, it’s one file delete away.
