  • Try wearing an extra sweatshirt and setting your alarm so you get about 90 minutes of sleep. Most people have sleep cycles around that long, so you’re less likely to wake up in the middle of a cycle, which can leave you drowsy. The sweatshirt is so that your muscles don’t get cold, which can make them achy.

  • ❤️ you’re doing a lovely job as a guide, if that helps. I’m very lucky to be married to a bisexual man who’s happy whether I transition or not and my family would probably be largely accepting. My dad would definitely make shitty “jokes” for a while, but he’d also be really excited to have a son, I think. Which is its own kind of shitty, but he’s never made it a big deal.

  • I brain farted and thought mirena was the copper one. Thank god, I thought you were super attached to giving an eleven year old a non hormonal iud. I had a state university clinician tell me that I was a conspiracy theorist for thinking there could be scarring and straight up pressure me to let her insert it, so I assume someone out there is recommending them to people.

  • When I was around 8, my dad made the comment that it would have been easier for a trans lesbian to find partners if she’d never transitioned. I’m not an egg at 32 for exactly that reason or anything….

    Sorry, !196 is for trauma dumping, right?

  • After having gone to catholic school and church every week, I can only enthusiastically disagree about the former. Almost every nun I know was raised catholic and Jesus Christ, are 90% of them awful.

  • In this scenario, bidens a relatively neutral candidate other than Israel, his age and ICE, though he’s better than his presumptive opponent about all three (trumps in worse shape, even if he’s younger).

    What if he were a much worse candidate? If Biden were exactly like trump in every way, except, say, he was super supportive of POWs, would it be our duty to vote for him?

    This is not a gotcha, though I know it sounds like one. Obviously there’s a scenario in which the other side (assuming they hold their view earnestly) would vote for an okay, but not ideal candidate (for example, I know a bunch of anticapitalists who were ready to vote for Bernie in 2016, had that been an option, even though he does at his core seem to support a capitalist system with more guardrails in place), so it’s entirely reasonable for you to be generally okay for voting for the lesser of two evils and still have a line you won’t cross.

  • Florida was declared for bush, but gore won over Floridians, which was your original point. I haven’t been to Florida since I was 17, so I really can’t speak to the integrity of the elections systems, nor should anyone want me to speculate.

  • I don’t know if it’s drugs/alcohol or something else, but RFK Jr. is just so fucking dumb about everything. I think he literally doesn’t understand why insurrection is punished harshly (“harshly:” some people have gotten very lenient sentences)

  • Mine’s also an original SE, I just got it refurbished 😅 The battery it came with is still going strong, though I also have an external battery pack because I got really into Pokémon go, so I’m not relying on its battery much.

    I have had to change iPhone batteries before and replacement batteries weren’t super expensive (€40-70, with a proprietary set of tools that is something like €20). Now that I have a cat it would be a challenge, but it’s not too complicated if you watch a walk-through first and keep track of your screws.

  • I bought a refurbished €100 iPhone SE the year before last, and it’s survived being dropped literally scores of times, awful charging practices, and nobody else wants it. Before that, it was a €125 6+ that I got rid of because it was too big and made my hand hurt. Before that it was an iPhone 4 that was given to me in 2012, which only died when I ran it over with a car.

    My reasons are: free/cheap, easy profile transfer, high functionality regardless of how I treat it.

    100%, I’m not tech savvy, especially for lemmy standards (I don’t get asked to do tech things for family, but I can generally troubleshoot problems I encounter). I am cheap regarding time and money though, and it’s simply economics. If you’ve got a consistent android alternative where I can spend €375 (assuming the first wasn’t free, but a similar price to the others) for three phones (or fewer) that function well for my purposes (browser, data heavy apps, and a lot of dumb screenshots) over 12 years, I’m down.

  • He’d already stolen a car under his first name from his parents. My guess is mostly that he had a clean record, with potential discomfort with his family name (the article points out he’s adopted, which feels… either gross or like there’s missing context, but stealing a car from your parents isn’t a symptom of a great relationship).
