When you're not feeling well, do you prefer to use conventional medicine (like from a doctor or pharmacy) or do you lean towards herbal alternatives? Why or why not?

  • Lots of things from nature are not going to be good for you simply by being natural. And most medications come from studying the effects of things found in nature on biology.

    I'll use treatments and medications that have studies backing their health impact. Occasionally those may be herbal supplements for better nutrition, but most herbal remedies that we know actually work are just a less effective form of the refined medications and treatments that have been developed. If the medication or conventional treatment is readily available, I would pick that first

    And "alternative treatments" are nearly always complete bunk.

  • Try using one of the PWA's, like Voyager. Just go to vger.app in your browser. It's still a browser-based front end, but it has more features than the default interface

    • Doctor: noone has passed this test before!

    Jump

  • Which leads me to wonder what they do that test for. You failed, and they just... Scratched their heads in confusion?

    Wouldn't this be an indicator of a neurological issue?

    • Update broke the app entirely

    Jump

  • Thank you, this got me to resolve it. No amount of refreshing and closing tabs worked, so I did have to delete my site data after all. Lost my settings, but at least it works again.

    • Update broke the app entirely

    Jump

  • Yeah I figured it must not be affecting anyone else since I'm the first to bring it up here. Not sure I can check the version when no part of the PWA loads though, but I think vger.app is supposed to be whatever is the current version

    • Just over here trying to make him proud

    Jump

  • It upsets me, how many people spell his name wrong.

    But Mister Rogers would let it go.

    • What features would you like added to Lemmy itself?

    Jump

  • I've said before, but part of my biggest gripe with Lemmy is the process of curating a decent feed. A lot of new users will see the mess of posts in All, including political extremists, an ever growing list of fetish porn communities, and bottom of the barrel shitposts, and they won't be interested in spending a couple hours blocking and subscribing to things before the feed is usable.

    One way to address this is to give instance admins better tools to curate a default subscriptions and block list for their users. Allow admins to create what they think is the most accessible feed, but also allow users to customize it as they see fit.

  • Isn't it too late for it to matter? At this point, she's on the ballots that she's on, isn't she?

    Especially for states like Oregon that are primarily vote by mail. I already have my ballot, and Stein withdrawing won't keep people from voting for her

  • Which one?

  • Stop fucking Larry

    • What word or term annonys you?

    Jump

  • Eeh, you have a point, but on the other hand, if the word meaning "literally" no longer means "literally" then we need a new definitive term for the concept.

    And we don't have one. We just have a word that is becoming more ambiguous every year

  • They used to say "one carry-on and one personal item" (which included things like a purse or a backpack). On my shorter trips, I could travel without checking a bag under this policy.
