this is my impression as well regarding nicotine. however, i have noticed people are not interested in examining that and continue to conflate nicotine with cigarettes (high risk) and vaping (misconstrued risk).

i also believe many view a nicotine addiction through a sort of moral lens they don’t apply so readily to caffeine.

honestly, that’s bullshit. i dunno if i’m just taking something too literally here, but no.

this is a real name.

huh. years ago they had an app and stopped supporting it. i still see radio omg which i haven’t liked as much, but i haven’t been using it lately either (just listen in browser).

i guess i need to look into this again!

i love soma.fm so much! i’m still a little salty about the app. kept it on my phone for a long time for pure nostalgia after it no longer worked.

i think it could be, depending upon circumstances. likewise, i think it could also be actively harmful (depending upon circumstances).

keep in mind, this wording is filtered through the hr fool’s retelling.

why the heck would someone want to waste time with an interview process if they don’t know the most basic expectations and compensation? no, i don’t think you should have to wait for an official offer to learn things like hours and benefits.

i mean, probably more people experience anxiety about an interview than don’t. having created a mechanism which supports this person in conceptualizing herself and her experience more positively to manage that anxiety is a good sign, to me.

my stepdad had a round tuit. you can buy them!

i would absolutely try this.

i eat a LOT of kraut, probably five days a week. also enjoy sardines and mayo on toast with capers. followed by kraut, which pairs well with the salty capered dregs left in the sardine tin.

yeah, honestly f this thread. i went from smiling to wondering why i bothered to even look at lemmy today. ☹️

there’s gotta be something nice to look at instead!

more than you’d think, i’m guessing.

anyway, what’s it to you? if someone has an abortion and never chooses to have a child, why does that matter to anyone else?

i hope you will forgive me for asking something so personal (and i understand if you choose to ignore it), but - if you want a hysterectomy now and have been advised of the impacts, why is she unwilling at present?

erhoslab is still around, last i checked. nice guy, nice voice, no screaming.

i’m hearing this about our state DFPS - as far as i know, you now only need to be 18 and you need to have graduated high school. then you get to destroy families.

i believe you can do this if you choose and when you’re ready. i won’t lie - it’s not easy, but you may decide if is easier than staying. the dv hotline can direct you to local services, including housing. be careful if you begin to explore your options; he may escalate.

(800) 799-7233. if you can safely search, they also have text and chat contact online.

i mean, a great many people don’t appreciate being told they are murderers. it provokes defensiveness rather than an openness to pro-vegan arguments.

the bad news is that, despite growing up with pc’s and having had some level of troubleshooting skill as a result, i have forgotten most of it in the last 10 years as computing/tech has become pushy and handholdy. i suspect this is not uncommon.

edit - but i still miss xp. 😔

seems like i read something to the effect that DiCaprio made a lot of suggestions to give depth to his character, and that the movie as initially written really was more just-the-gimmick. i hated Tenet; i imagine Inception without likable (edit - or at least interesting) characters would have felt more like that.
