Such a valid point; success should not be measured only in dollars. I began explaining the basics of the Fediverse with some of my friends and the first question they asked was, “How do people even make money on there then?” It’s a bit disheartening to see how money-driven things are for some people.

I had an ex-gf that would sit down for showers when possible, and sometimes fall asleep lol

Thank you. It’s not a common acronym; I just didn’t see a way I wanted to shorten it haha.

Outside of this post with the link, people that search “addiction” would probably see the community. I posted essentially this same post in other instances’ chat communities, and made sure this new community was discoverable by lemmy.world, beehaw.org, vlemmy.net, lemmy.one, and kbin.social. I also asked that the mental health community lists this as a “related community.”

I think you’d have more responses if you posted to !asknsfwlemmy@nsfwlemmy.com

I found beehaw first, so I started there but then discovered that the admins manage the community creation there. So I made a new account on lemmy.world to mod that, and most browsed with my beehaw account. But then beehaw needed to de-federate from lemmy.world, so I made a vLemmy and lemmy.one accounts so I could interact with both beehaw and lemmy.world.

tl;dr As someone else mentioned, finding a smaller, low-profile instance to have your home account but interacting with other instances seems to be the best approach

I personally love !dadjokes@lemmy.world

I may be a little biased because I mod it ;)

I think the date is because July 1st is the beginning of a new fiscal year for many companies. I’m not sure why they may have changed terms of service, but my guess is that the companies are required to publish updates at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Wow, I’ve never heard of wefwef before. For being a web app, it really does have a similar UI to Apollo. And it’s pretty snappy.

I agree, Memmy is still my favorite but I’m going to try wefwef. And I’m still watching Mlem as it develops.

So I worked at a plasma donation center and in a hospital. I will tell you that the training at the donation place I was at was very brief and you are somewhat practice for many new phlebotomists. I will also say I cared for at least two patients that were hospitalized after people missed their sticks at the donation centers and the patients had infections, pain, and huge vascular issues after that.

That being said many people do it and it turns out just fine. It’s easy money if you can tolerate it. But I would not recommend it, as it can eventually cause scarring to your veins and it may be difficult to start an IV when you are older and actually really need that access site.

The short answer is: probably not.

I have seen Quest and LabCorp widely used in hospitals. If you look at the bottom of each organization’s page, there should be a credentials or certification that they are each certified through. Search the credentialing agency and see if they are legitimate (with Britannica or other encyclopedia). There may be very small differences in level of accuracy but they generally all have to meet a minimal acceptable standard.

I’m sorry for hear that; I hope everything turns out alright.

I guess it depends on their type of humor. I don’t have memes, but I know a few dad jokes.

Did you hear about that other guy that got all of those toy horses stuck up his rectum? …Don’t worry, they’re saying his condition is stable

Have you seen that movie called Constipation? …It still hasn’t come out.

Sorry, I have this illness that I make airplane puns. …Doctors say it’s terminal
