The point stands. Vote with your wallet.

Got covid at least 3 times, maybe more. All 3 were pretty minor. Was pretty much couch ridden for 5 days during one of the illnesses, but could still talk and cook and clean and whatever. It was just hard. The other 2 could have been mistaken for minor colds.

Other than that, no long term effects. My girlfriend also had it and she states her eyesight has taken a nosedive since. Possibly related, possibly not.

I've got the first 2 mandatory (for work) vaccines in Canada, but nothing since.

Take any steroids as a kid?

Purely anecdotal, and with the caveat that I don't know shit about fuck, but I have a friend who is passively shaky, and it's because he was on steroids for asthma, as he had it really bad when he was younger.

Watching him pack a bowl these days is stressful...

Thanks for capitalizing that B

Weird... I am also Alpharius

I guess so. The blind hatred in this thread is insane. Apparently, if you drive a big truck, you hate the planet, are a chronic tailgater, have a loud exhaust, and are an alcoholic.

Like damn bro, I'm just trying to haul some shit around. If there was a better way, I'm all ears.

What an absolute cringe take. Thank you valiant knight for defending that nice lady's hair. God speed.

Children can can be bloody annoying, but I can still usually eat. If I smelled dog piss, or found fur in my food, that would ruin my meal. I'd rather not have them near where I'm eating. Maybe as an inclusive step, there could be an outdoor/covered patio section where dogs would be allowed, so you could have the option of dining in a separate area with your pet.

I'm not sure what my local law is for unattended dogs, as it's never been something I've had to consider, but I will say I've had neighbours leave their house from dawn until dusk and their dog was left barking on the back patio all day. If I recall correctly, it is a finable offense, and if it's a repeat issue I think the enforcement body can escalate the situation right up to seizure of the animal.

Yeah, the offices one I can slide on, as long as I have the ability to be free of dealing with someone else's dog. I get how for most people, it would lift their spirits. I'm really not a dog person though, and while I accept it's a benefit for a lot of other people, I generally prefer to not have contact. If that is achievable, then I'm fine with dogs in the office.

Wildly irrelevant to the post, but man that was a good read. Carry on.

Mostly agree with the first 2 paragraphs.

I don't think dogs should be allowed in restaurants though, regardless of training. The problem is people will say their dog is trained to an expert level, but there's nothing to actually prove that.

A flat ban on dogs in restaurants is the right move in my opinion.

You can maybe make an argument for offices, but honestly, I don't love dogs, and don't usually enjoy the presence of one. I'd be fine leaving them out of this environment, but I also understand this is a place people spend 8+ hours a day at, and it's not feasible/ethical to leave them at home all day by themselves.

I could be swayed on offices and shops, but I wouldn't like to see them at restaurants.

Fully left Reddit. Hate that they killed Sync so bounced. Don't miss it at all.

The flip side is Lemmy is meh. Every damn post is Linux shilling. We get it. Lemmy users like Linux. At least Sync works on this site.

Ultimately, I guess I just don't care about either site. I just want something to mindlessly browse for a few minutes every day when I'm shitting, and Lemmy is fine.

For whatever it's worth, and whoever reads this, I've had extensive buffering issues with Vanced/Revanced for months. Recently purged the MicroG and vanced software, and reinstalled the Revanced Extended, and it works flawlessly!

No requests. Just like to say you're a good bloke for wanting to lift others when you're down. God speed mate

I did. Once sync was out it was a pretty easy transition. I just wanted an app to scroll mindlessly for a couple minutes a day, and Lemmy does the job. The content stream is a lot slower, but for low usage users like myself, it's fine.

That said, from what I've gleaned from other threads, it still seems like most people still use Reddit in some capacity.

As a person living in western Canada, thank you brother. Shits wild over here.

Tell us how you really feel, I feel like you're holding back.

At least among my circle, diablo 4 is a shitty game.

Agreed. 2.6 in my location. PNW
