Tune in again next week for Johnny Enzyme and His Biological Friends!

Vaguely related anecdote: I have no memory of this of course but my mum had to have urgent brain surgery and was hospitalised (for half a year, I think?) very shortly after I was born. She barely got to breast-feed me for 3 months before she had to leave me with my grandmother (my dad wouldn’t be able to care for a kid on his own lol). When she returned, I was incredibly clingy and wouldn’t let go of her, they tell me, so I was already able to remember her. It’s apparently possible that some of my issues today (depression, anxiety, all that fun stuff) are in part caused by that very early traumatic separation (nothing anyone can prove). Which leads me to think that in your scenario you’d at least be more likely to have some psychiatric damage, no matter your age.

Anything other than New is not the comfortable dopamine drip I crave.

“Three” and “thread”. Not because of the th, that’s never been a problem (I learnt the basics very early in life when pronunciation was easy to learn), but because my mouth somehow wouldn’t go from “th” to “r”. It was only a few years ago when it suddenly clicked. Weirdly, I never had an issue saying “through” and “threat”.

To be fair, that’s because the fossil fuel lobby does everything to prevent alternatives.

Spoiler formatting looks like this:

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler
Spoilers go here
:::

The “Tap for spoiler” part is what shows up in the post, like this:

You can put whatever you like instead of “Tap for spoiler”, such as emojis:

That’s all :)

So you’re telling me there’s a downward trend.

And that’s exactly what the blogpost is trying to solve.

That kills the less active ones and achieves the opposite of what Lemmy wants to do.

Don’t kink shame, it hurts nobody.

Edit: the kink is what hurts nobody, naturally, is what I mean. I am severely sleep-deprived. Forcing people who work for you to cater to your kink is of course scum behaviour.

Christmas is one of a number of important rituals that are distributed between cultures and spaced out in specific intervals over the year to keep Dread Cthulhu sleeping so no it can’t be postponed. When Santa is sad that he won’t be able to deliver gifts, he doesn’t give a crap about the kids who’ll be so very sad they’re not getting the newest Barbie Pony Slaystation, he’s really deathly afraid of what’s going to happen to the world.

Forgetting to get groceries in time for when shops are closed for several days in a row.

Afaik, people in industrialised countries are likely to be vitamin D deficient. However, any vitamin supplements should ideally only be taken if a doctor has told you you do have a deficiency. But I get that this is hard to accomplish in some places and it’s easier to just try on your own so no judgement, just saying.

What makes you think you’re deficient? Because a generally bad mood may just be the expected reaction to the Current Global Situation™.

Theory and practice quite frequently don’t align in reality and humans are spiteful.

And it’s ribbed.

It’s entirely possible that there was some interaction between addons that I was unable to find back then but I’m fine with how it’s working now and uBlock Origin (yes, that one) is working fine otherwise so I honestly can’t be bothered to tinker with it.

Idk, it kept breaking the site for me because of the arms race between YT and adblockers.

If you use Firefox, try this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-no-disturbance/

I’ve given up on uBlock for YT because frankly I was annoyed at having to update every two days (and whitelisting channels never seemed to work). Silencing ads is good enough for me.

Depends on the breed, no? A Newfie bear may very well walk you whereas a Dackel bear is easy to walk.
