I mean fark.com is still kicking, last I checked. I feel like some of these old sites are the web equivalent of BIFL products.

I opted out of the ability to have kids and am in a long term relationship with no intent to marry, unless a legal reason suddenly appears. I'm in my late 30's and have I do have many friends who have gone down this route, some are more mature, successful, and/or happy than I am and some are not.

I'm a big advocate of those things not being a thoughtless choice, but something that a person takes a long time to think about before they try for either one. I've met way too many people who either, while they love their kid(s), don't like how their life turned out because of them or are miserable in their marriages and will likely get a divorce.

Yeah, if I leak it's usually some kind of liquid.

The problem is that homelessness is, weirdly, more complicated than just giving people homes. It's also about mental health issues (many of which we don't yet have the ability to effectively treat), community, purpose, and a ton of other things.

It's almost like everyone would benefit from a support system or safety net put in place by some community funded entity that would have the capability of putting those systems in place.

Seeing as how text messages are often used as evidence of abuse, cheating, or other awful acts I struggle to see this as a good thing.

The thing that's always gotten me about reincarnation is the lack of memory of past lives. Even if it were true and some small part of a person lives on, is it functionally different than a permanent death if they retain nothing from their past lives?

Wait, what's the issue with boneless wings?

This is only true due to corporate deadlines.

I haven't seen it, myself, but I've heard people mention that it has been used by some folks as a derogatory term for neurodivergent folks. 😔

Folks, some people don't like casual sex. Some people do. Depends a lot on why a person likes sex, if they like sex, I suppose.

I would go so far to say: If you can find classes that train you in how to use the firearm under stress take those. If you have access to training courses that help reinforce those lessons, train there.

I want to be hopeful that these precautions are unnecessary but at this point this falls under better safe than sorry territory

I got snipped and it was the on of the best days of my life. Definitely something you need to go into understanding how permanent it is, but if you definitely don't want kids I cannot recommend it enough.

 

Looking SpaceFox's question for people who have been in special ed, it seems pretty like its a pretty negative experience. So, I'd like to know what Lemmy users have seen work well for people who need extra help in school? What haven't you seen but think would be helpful?

 

I've found myself with way more red lentils than expected and, as much as I like it, a man can only have Dal so many times. Any other suggestions for what I can do with Lentils?

 

As I'm sure most of you know, searching for tips on how to manage symptoms, what can effect medications, or just general information about ADHD there is a lot of advice for parents or information written about ADHD children. I'm tired of looking at information that sounds like ADHD is a thing you age out of, hell I thought we got past that point a long time ago. You fine folks have any sources for ADHD info that don't assume you're the parent of a bratty 6 year old?

 

I've been reading through the rulebook and this game seems like it would mesh well with having a largeish base of players doing a number of one-shot or low session count mini-campains that are contained within a large community. Does anyone know of any communities for this that already exist? If not would anyone have an interest in starting one?
