It could be because you are switching between WiFi and mobile data or are using a VPN.

Just by knowing something was created by AI makes it repelling to me. That’s not to say it can’t generate interesting material, but I so wish this technology didn’t exist in the first place. But, it’s here to stay, and refusing to adapt to it entirely it may not be in our best interest in the long run. It’s possible I have enjoyed content without knowing it was AI-generated too; it’s not always obvious. Not everything made by humans is good either, although I respect the effort the creators put into it. Luckily there is an extensive catalogue of reputable human-made literature and art to choose from that goes back centuries :)

I like how Lemmy is reminiscent of early Internet forums and how users have a choice to share as little or as much as they want about themselves. Having online status publicly displayed detracts from that experience. We shouldn’t have to justify being offline or simply not wanting to respond right away. The internet is at our fingertips but it doesn’t mean we need to be accessible all the time.

Observe how they treat people who they don’t benefit from in financial, sexual, or other material ways. Don’t rush to be too generous with them.

Medical tourism is a real thing. Whether you will pay less than you would in the US will depend on the country you go to and the procedure. Without insurance you are still likely to pay a lot of money at a private clinic. You also have to factor in whether you will need follow-up appointments and plan for complications because those costs plus the costs of multiple overseas trips and living accommodations will add up.

Going to make it a priority to introduce the poo of other animals into my vernacular.

“Did you see that performance last night? Absolutely yakshit!”

A light sleeper just means that your sleep is easily disturbed by small changes in your surroundings (like the turn of a doorknob, a car passing by outside, a text message to a phone on vibrate). There isn’t a strict criteria for it.

Either people who see positive results equate “more” with “better”, or plastic surgery doesn’t fix the underlying insecurities and self-scrutiny that caused them to get it in the first place.

Exercise programs, language courses, and music streaming services are a few things you can try out before committing to them. The free trial should be enough to determine whether the methods are helpful enough for you want to continue for the first two, and the latter is a convenient way of discovering new music without ads that doesn’t drain your battery quickly.
