  • Yes! That's how I do it with Mojeek, which is my current search engine of choice

  • They did some labs and gave me my diagnosis. The way it was explained to me was that they wanted the colonoscopy to check for things like scarring and so forth.

    To be clear, I'm not a medical professional, so my attempting to answer "Why would they..." is pretty fruitless. I have no idea; that's why I was seeing my doctor lol

  • I'm usually connected to a VPN, so it incorrectly auto-detects my region, and also I just don't like the idea that results are being served based on regional trends and interests

  • I'd like to try using this, but I like to search by "all regions" and it won't ever save my preferences in Fennec

  • Oh I've had the diagnosis for a few years, and I've totally adhered to the dietary restrictions I was given. If I so much as question whether cross contamination may have taken place, I don't eat the food.

    I'm pretty well stable now and no longer shitting myself. But I know I'm at greater risk of things like colon cancer, which is something that my family has a history of.

    My insurance would "cover" it in that it would go towards my deductible, but that's still thousands of dollars, and we had to buy a furnace this year because ours died. I'm thinking about going and having it done in Mexico. I have in-laws there.

    Edit: They did more than just blood tests. I'm not going to post all my lab results here obviously, but I can tell you I took shit samples there more than once, and amid all these tests all I could think about was the cost.

  • That we can keep

  • Destroy all technology

    It's time to start over

    If you need me, I'll be hunting and gathering

  • I started by using the animated gif, but at the last moment I decided to post it as a still image so that the dramatic tension is sustained

  • Anti-racism be like

  • Quakers may have perpetuated this concept as well, I'm not sure, but this is literally named after the Puritans, not Quakers

  • I think the YMCA still might have good terms, but I haven't checked. That's where we used to go.

    If you're using your real name I would imagine they'd send the debt to collections which would cost you even more when your credit score tanks and you try to buy a car or house.

    Probably important for people to know, but I doubt it would be terribly impactful, and I'm so done playing their games. There's always something that hurts my credit score anyway, so I just assume I've already lost this battle before it began.

  • My husband is a roller skater! I always think people think we're an odd couple, with my board and his skates on the trails

  • Yeah, that's why I'm alright sticking to the exercise I can access for free: walking, cycling, longboarding, calisthenics...

    I feel like I'm in better shape now than I was when I had an actual gym membership

    You've also described why I tend to avoid a lot of subscription based services.

  • Why are all gym memberships like this? The first thing I check before starting a service is how easy it is to end it. I've not been able to find a single gym with reasonable terms.

    This is something that needs to be regulated somehow.

    In the meantime, one could always pay with a prepaid card and then just never add funds when you decide to quit. Then just "return to sender" any mail they try to send you.

  • Same in our house, and we used to have all kinds of Goya stuff. Fortunately, it's never been that high quality to begin with and can be easily replaced by alternatives.

  • Game

  • I'm really bad at this game
