if you look closer you’ll note that it’s very much related to whether a company is publicly trader or not, as soon as people are trading stocks you end up with a bunch of people who don’t actually care about the company and those involved in it, they only care about making money.

a company that isn’t having stocks traded around is able to focus on things other than growth, such as making sustainable revenue or being a public good (or a personal good, like a small café that barely makes any profit and just exists because the owners want to run a café).

i don’t get why people use web services for rss, it can be done completely clientside, that’s… kind of the whole point of rss…

one has to wonder what the ideal thickness is, are we supposed to think it’s just never thin enough? will we have phones that literally cut into the skin of your hand as you hold it and they still brag about how the new model is 4 atoms thinner?

it’s not like they’re getting easier to hold, modern phones are so huge that you need a popsocket for it to be reliably and comfortably held.

“forcing doctors to write clearly legible notes will kill people” is probably my favourite take this month

huh? any serious marketplace has cheap or free basic insurance for purchases.

winched down from the ceiling over the span of 5 minutes as everyone else sits in awkward silence, all the while trump is already in a seated posture and wearing his standard grumpy expression.

to distract from the epstein files, we have made the entire continent of europe declare war on us. We are extremely intelligent.

if you want more sourness maybe try adding some powdered citric acid or malic acid, whatever you can find at a grocery store. It’ll be in the spice aisle.

god requires the entity proclaiming the prediction to be capable of fucking up and saying something else, we need to task some theological researchers with figuring out precisely how capable of mistakes it must be

i mean at the end of the day they all fail to meet the low low low low low bar of clearly and unhesitatingly condemning the systemic abuse within the church, much less actually doing something about it…

you seem to be talking about supplements, not vitamins. Fruit is decidedly not expensive unless you live on the mcmurdo antarctic research station.

OP is definitely hilariously exaggerating it, but it certainly can’t hurt to make sure your body has all the nutrients it needs, and placebo shouldn’t be discounted.

In my experience and from my good but not professional knowledge, the most objectively beneficial thing is just to stay well hydrated and eat something. You need that to feel good even if you’re not sick, and when you’re fighting an infection your body is going to be diverting energy to things like fever rather than the stomach, so easy to digest is very important.

And what’s something that has lots of vitamins and minerals and easy to digest calories while also being filled with water? Fruit! (noodles are also a good option, easy to digest plus there’s broth so you get more water)
Then add on the fact that e.g. citrus just viscerally feels fresh and like it should help with illness, and you have a very convincing reason to get a bag of mandarins to snack on while you’re sick.

It won’t cure a cold overnight, but it might well bring enough relief that it’s not a full week of wanting to die, and if it has absolutely no effect then oh no you ate a bunch of healthy stuff how terrible.

why is that sad?

maybe specify where this is, lol, because it most certainly isn’t available in sweden for example…

why would you be supposed to cut your hair in any specific way? are you in the army or something?

haven’t cut my hair in years, long hair supremacy.

trying to get rid of the tools is pointless, the data is out there for those who want it anyways.

you should also always assume a sufficiently willing person can find your identity, don’t post anything sensitive online, don’t post anything that would encourage those with resources to find your identity, and if you’re e.g. a politician then only post online to explicitly non-anonymous accounts. If you have a protected identity/location/that stuff, just don’t post online at all.

it’s perfectly fine at e2e encryption, especially if you’re not federating.
