  • Hypermobility can have side-effects. If your diet isn't right or you live in a very warm or very cold area, it can affect your tissues. If I'm not mistaken it can sporadically be linked to auto-immune diseases.

  • Must be a US thing. There are great hotels for 40€/night in many places. I went to one for 30€/night in Florence and it was marvelous. Couldn't understand a word the old lady said, but she was very helpful showing us where everything was and getting us settled into the quiet room with high ceiling and large closets. There was a pizzeria about 20 metres from the hotel that had an agreement with the hotel to give a discount for hotel guests. The coffee in the morning was free and terrific too. Only a stone's throw away was a great restaurant with a veranda where they served fantastic home-made bread and small cakes.

    The worst "hotel" I was at was definitely in the US. Terrible shithole of a place we had booked ahead of time. Could've been a beggars home in Calcutta. And we had already paid, so no refunds.

  • This is why I love the fediverse. Each instance can decide what to do with this information and when. We don't need to wait for one single admin on their throne to make a decision for the entire site network. Reddit, insta, and others would have to ask their advertisers first if this is OK or not. Admins here can go "right, fuck off" and either band the bots or tell the instance admins to do something or be defederated.

    It wouldn't surprise me if bot writers like this forced parts of the fediverse into a "who knows who" network where certain instances only allow federation if you're introduced by another trusted instance admin. And probably they'll add federated block-lists so when a user is blocked on one instance and tries to create multiple accounts with the same email on different servers, they are automatically blocked on those too.

    The cat and mouse games are starting and it will force the fediverse to adapt. As much as I dislike these bot users, they are like bacteria, viruses, or vermin, and the body has to adapt to the intruders. It'll make it strong. Now it's downvoting bots, in the future, it could be Russian disinformation bots. I'm confident the fediverse will respond better than big tech.

  • Labor had warned that major reductions to the public service could see welfare recipients and veterans forced to wait weeks or months for payments to be processed; Dutton had promised “frontline” positions would be spared, but hinted education and health department staff could be in the firing line.

    Yep, education and health are definitely the first thing that have to go in order to control a population. The dumber and sicker they are, the easier they are to control. Learning from the great US of A.
