Did we read the same post? The one I read said it was good to not interact with another human being for days on end.

Thanks for letting me know your anecdotal experience though. Mine does not at all look like that but it sure sounds nice. congratulations I guess?

They were bombed to shit by the US whose military is still occupying them to this day...

of course the state that did that and wants to maintain any veneer of democracy would twist itself in knots to convince you that it was the right thing to do.

I agree that WFH is far more efficient and a better situation for most office-based workers, but I wouldn't call going "multiple days without speaking to another human being" an upside. My issue with office work is I have to get up early and get myself ready and fight through traffic, not that I have to interact with other people even if I don't like some of them.

I think that's a regressive point of view. I'm skeptical of anyone with a platform that pushes it, and somewhat repulsed by the normal people that repeat it. Naturally, I think. You don't like people? Well, I'm a people... You're a people too. All of us are people. Good people, whatever your idea of a bad person is, we all are people and we people are social creatures.

In a healthy society we should want to be around other people and, in fact, as a group we become more accepting of individual differences by encountering and interacting with numerous and diverse groups of people and accepting them into our norm, seeing first-hand that we are all just normal people going through life and striving for what we believe is good. We people add so much more than we threaten, we are capable of great and profound things when we work together to achieve them.

It's not normal to turn your nose up at that and I hate that it is being normalized.

What Benadryl are you talking about, I've never heard of it being anything but diphenhydramine? People definitely abuse this form, it's a deliriant in high doses and can cause hallucinations. I can't recall its name but I distinctly remember there being a community about it on the other site.

Edit: perhaps you're thinking of Sudafed PE, in which the main ingredient, pseudoephedrine, was switched for phenylephrine? The latter drug was recently found to be ineffective like you're talking about. Though, the reason they made pseudoephedrine prescription only in the first place was because people were using it to make meth, not because it was a fun drug to abuse.

Malala Yousafzai

Edit: a couple corrections.

She's Pashtun (Pakistani), not arab, but she is a practicing Muslim. She was fighting against the Taliban's ban on girls from education, which is not a feature of the rest of the muslim world. It's a feature of extreme fundamentalism, of any religion, not of Islam.

Hey, what did slugs and slime molds ever do to you??

I used it with W10 for years without issue but it sounds like W11 has presented new challenges. That's unfortunate.

Nah he'd probably just lose all his teeth and bones if he did that

Yes, I am proudly biased against groups that commit genocide before our eyes and deny it, dispossess indigenous peoples of their ancestral homes and turn them into refugees in foreign lands, along with fascist ideologies which call for the establishment and maintenance of an ethnostate and sheepishly justify Nazi collaboration and ethnic cleansing as a means to that end. Stay as mad at that as you like and have the day you deserve.

 

I've noticed that inline images will render to fill the available width of the comment they're on. This is much too large for some images, such as emotes that only have so many pixels to display and thus get blown out and fuzzy. I would much prefer inline images to render in their native resolution up until they reach the width of the comment. Is there already a way to change this behavior or is it not something that has been implemented?
