Speaking of complaints we have about the fediverse...

You linked to a post on sh.itjust.works, but I'm on slrpnk.net, so if I want to interact with it, I have hoops to jump through first.

Gotta say, the biggest reason I'm not on Pixedfed is because I was told that I could migrate my instagram content, but the two instances I signed up for had that option disabled. I can't seem to find an instance that tells you upfront if it's allowed or not, and I've already wasted enough time on it.

Totally didn't misread that as 'ffmpreg' nope.

I just have trust problems whenever somebody says a medical condition is 100% one thing and nothing else could ever cause or cure it. I've had too many doctors tell me that my GI problems are just anxiety and couldn't possibly be a real thing. I've had doctors tell me that my GI problems are actually an eating disorder and I need more antidepressants. I've had doctors tell me that I should be happy about my GI problems because a lot of people struggle with losing weight.

So yeah, diet is a tricky subject for me right now, because all I want to do is eat a normal meal, and the main response I've gotten has been "have you tried eating normal meals?"

It is currently unknown whether dietary weight loss interventions can induce regression of carotid atherosclerosis.

I just did a quick search, maybe you have a better source I can refer to?

Edit: Specifically for the 100% claim, not saying diet doesn't help.

You lie! It was never fashionable to hang an onion from your belt!

And heart disease is 100% preventable through diet that is cheaper than the SAD.

I need a source on congenital heart disease not existing.

Something something, you're a boomer

Excuse me sir, is this the right room for an argument?

They want us to be poor and sick so we're easier to control.

Because "totally preventable" is financially unaffordable for most of us. My insurance won't help pay for vaccines unless I get them done during a PCP appointment, but those are scheduled months in advance. I normally go to my local pharmacy and pay $20 for a flu shot, but covid vaccines are like $100-300 without insurance.

I've had gastro problems for a few years now, but because insurance and bureaucracy, I JUST got a scope done yesterday and they found a bunch of ulcers in my intestines that I've just been living with, untreated, because there's no option to speed things up without money. It COULD have been caught years ago, but getting prompt medical care is too bougie for me.

Ohhhh, okay, The sarcasm went completely over my head, sorry!

The most painful moment went something like this:

Dad: Hey, the computer isn't working, can you take a look at it? Computer: Full of porn popups because he was googling 'brittany spears nude'

No sarcasm, just not sure if it's a typo or if you really think the holocaust was a good thing.

Ethic and ethNic are two similar, but different words. I would agree that tech companies are wanting to separate us into groups for extermination (ethnic cleansing), but I would absolutely disagree that it's a good thing (ethical cleansing).

How is that ethical though? Ethical is synonymous with moral.

I can't tell if I should assume you mean that or if I should assume you mean 'ethnic' like a racial group.

will of course not be used for censorship or to create ethical groups later at the push of a button… so that ethical cleaning can be tackled really efficiently.

Did you mean ethnic, or do you really think there is such a thing as ethical censorship?

Fathom is more specifically a unit of measurement for depth of water. If you fathom something, you've gauged the depths of the topic.

Who is 'they'? The 'somewhat positive' people are bad faith, or finitebanjo is bad faith?

To be fair, laptops have those bricks on the cord that help protect it from power oddities.

And that one weird slimline computer I had once that didn't have a traditional PSU and had a laptop charging cord, lmao.
