I'm subscribing to all and I'll just unsubscribe if it turns out I don't like them. For overlapping ones I haven't seen many duplicate threads. If I post, though, I'll stick to one and right now I'm favoring the one on my instance.
I created /m/BestOf on kbin to kind of avoid having multiple instances of all. I wonder why other communities don't try to represent all of the Fediverse instead of just their instances..?
I actually like the idea of duplicate communities, because well... Let's say you want to talk Sherlock Holmes.
Well, some people don't want to discuss BBC Sherlock. Others don't want to discuss whether or not he's queer. And some want to discuss neither.
So to accommodate everyone, you WILL need 3 communities anyway. They may as well be on separate instances, so that if one goes down or isn't very active you can at least discuss the stuff that's allowed there.
I think there was a kbin API and Ernest pulled it because he wanted to improve it. I think time will show that was a smart move. App developers need the API to be stable & unchanging; kbin can likely see how the Lemmy API is used by Apps, learn and improve from this.
We do know a new improved API is in the pipeline, and I agree with z2k, Apps will follow soon after.
Testicular torsion. It felt like I was being kicked in the balls every time my heart beat. It was my senior year of college and I was home for the weekend, but my parents were gone and I didn't think I could drive myself to the hospital. Luckily my uncle was around to take me. I dry heaved out the passenger window the entire drive there.
I had barely gotten into the room when the doctor came in and helped me strip down, then proceeded to do what he called the "open book maneuver", wherein he rotated my testicles to remove the twist. The relief was instantaneous, like my balls had been released from a vice grip. Luckily no permanent damage was done, but an ultrasound confirmed that I'd need surgery to prevent future torsions, which I had during spring break... yay.
It took me 4 different urologists to properly diagnose this. I had it for YEARS. Every single time it happened I thought I was going to die. The only thing I could do was lay down on a hard flat surface (usually the floor wherever I happened to be at that time) and just let it pass with lots of heavy breathing and silent crying. I basically was immobile, couldn't even move without getting super light headed and felt like passing out.
Once I finally found a dr that properly diagnosed it, he taught me the open book trick and MY GOD what a difference. He is also the same one that did the surgery, and it's been many years now without an instance. Life changing.
If you have Microsoft Word, just use the built in spell and grammer check. It's far more capable these days and is very feature rich.
Another user pointed out how much worse you can make your writing using it. I had a peer in a group project put our work through Grammerly and mindlessly accept what it said to do and it ruined the writing.
Mind you, I've never been a fan of Grammerly and certainly don't understand how people could pay for it. And certainly would never be comfortable using it for free, because then they're data mining me.

Some have suggested your obsession with literature is unhealthy. They are wrong. +2 to medicine and arcana checks. Disadvantage to saving throws involving offers of knowledge acquisition.
I'm Fine, Really

Third Eye Blind
Years of living on the outskirts of society have granted you the ability to perceive clearly what others do not. Sometimes, those revelations are even true.
Instead of rolling during perception and insight checks, the DM flips a hidden coin. If the result is tails, the player passes the check successfully. If the result is heads, the player receives false information about which they are extremely convinced.
(ex., an empty room is described to be littered with invisible traps, a trustworthy NPC is "obviously" traitorous, a terrifying dragon lurks down a hallway it cannot possibly fit into)
Animal Companion: Soft kitty. Swift, pointy, and unquestioningly devoted. Entreaties to stop making noise and go away only encourage her. -2 to stealth.
I was standing in my kitchen with a chef's knife trying to work out just how to position everything. I didn't think I could get a good angle on it. Then I stopped and went to ask Wikipedia if people can live without a big toe.
Wikipedia told me that without a hallux you'll walk funny. And between having an unwillingness to walk funny and not being able to figure out how to actually take the swing, I ended up calling someone to take me to an ER.
It's a little embarrassing to be complaining so much about "Ow. My big toe hurts." but holy shit that pain is real.
My worst ever is a gout flare that I got in my knee once. That's when I discovered I don't like morphine.
But yeah, I've had sciatic issues associated with spinal disease, a three-hour tooth extraction, a section of flayed skin. All of that doesn't compare to gout.
I have had great luck removing labels by filling bottles / jars with boiling water and letting them sit a few minutes. I mostly do this to save wine labels I like or want to remember. When doing this it is also very easy to wipe off any residue.
This is my go-to method due to it being dirt cheap and simple
If I don’t need to keep the label sometimes I’ll just chuck it in the dishwasher and try to remember to peel the label right after the cycle ends, while the item is still hot
I think for me, the most painful experience is a tie -- one instance was Appendicitis (which was horrible) and the other instance was having one of our children without an epidural.
Aftermath of a seizure and car accident. First caused the second within seconds. The seizure pulled every muscle I had and some I didn't even know I had. The wreck caused a nasty concussion, messed up a vertebra in my back, and the resulting brain damage is still affecting me 6 years later.
