Can someone explain fiber for me? I see guides recommending it heavily and then other saying to limit it 1-2 days before bottoming as it leads to gas. I’ve been vegan for years. My biggest worry is being gasy and ruining it. I know dieting around sex is controversial, but I genuinely don’t seek judgement, I get enough from...
Just remember if you take medication take it 1 hour before the fiber or 2 to 4 hours after taking fiber b/c it’ll absorb the medication and make it less effective. I found this out the hard way
I felt with the same thing, god did I hate that shit. Our place opened an hour early to allow seniors to shop, but I’m pretty sure from what I saw we were open an hour early, were we allowed to come in an hour early to get the same work done? Fuck no. Did they hire on additional staff to allow us to get everything done? God fucking no. God I hated that place. I was so jealous of people that got to stay home. I was on my local reddit at the time and some one suggested doing that dumb thing of “he, lets all yell out our windows at 8 or 9.” I replied fuck no, I have to go to bed at that time and get up super early, I didn’t want to hear a bunch of entitled fucks screaming for five minutes and while I’m trying to go to sleep. Yeah people with an office job got a glimpse of the good life, miserable fucks working retail were treated so much worse then working regular retail. I always say I can tell who hasn’t worked retail before.
So the previous owner/moderator of the community just randomly added me as a moderator and then left. Not going to lie, I don’t think that’s okay. Just a note here but don’t do that. If I had been asked I would have gladly said yes but it would have been nice to be asked....
I feel like all of the recent updates had this lackluster appeal to them. It might be because I’m outgrown it, but the last big update I felt excited for was the terrain generation one (I think 1.18?). Other than that I can’t really get behind any of them. I mean, archeology sounds cool and all but it doesn’t really feel...
This I stopped playing for a good bit, then I was getting bored playing everything else I was playing and didn’t know what to play, boom! Back to Minecraft absolutely perfect.
I’m pretty excited this will be my first Iphone. Going from a pixel 3a, it’s been a trooper and still runs fine, but ready to make the jump. Ordered a pro in white.
Got it all set up last night and so far really happy with it so far. A few things I need to learn but that will just come with using the iPhone but I’ll get there.
I had such high hopes for this one. If it was up to me the whole events of the book would have been concluded in two seasons. If they wanted to continue to milk it after that they could have made the Beowulf short story or made Anansi Boys as a follow up series. Such a waste to see America Gods squandered.
I loved Anansi Boys definitely recommend reading it. Anansi Boys is very different from American Gods but does exist in the same world. I’ve read everything by Neil Gaiman because I just love how that man writes. I think the Beowolf short story is either in a collection of his short stories, but I also think it’s added to new additions of American Gods or at least I think the special edition of America Gods has it, but I might be misremembering.
Have you given The Sandman on Netflix a try? I really enjoyed the job they did on it, and having read the comics I kind of wouldn’t have minded if the added more of the short side stories because I feel they inform the larger main story.
Travelers looking to rent an apartment for a few days in New York City will find slimmer pickings now that city officials have started enforcing new rules cracking down on short-term rentals on sites like Airbnb.
I’ve been saying this but I’m surprised no one at Airbnb thought of this, but just start doing long-term rentals. Become a rental management company. Easier said than done, but they have the cash on hand to make it happen.
I’ve been there, I once replaced the alternator on my dad’s truck took like five minutes. Well, I was driving a 2002 ford focus and needed to replace the alternator on that. I did one before, should be easy right? That SOB fought me for 6 hours. They put that damn thing in such an inconvenient spot, to where I had to loosen up the engine mounts move the whole engine enough to squeeze it out. Still loved that little car even if it was a pain in the ass.

Honestly, my guess the people working the call center get paid on retention numbers whereas the people that work in the warehouse just get paid a salary/wage. The call center probably had an incentive for you not to cancel, do the charge back, or the refund that sort of thing. That’s my guess I’m only like hypothesizing here.

This month is the final month of guaranteed major and security updates, and we already know Android 14 won’t land in the Pixel 4a (though it will in the Pixel 4a 5G as it has guaranteed updates until November)....
I’m still using a pixel 3a, LUL. I’m actually updating this year, but to a different brand. I have gotten a lot of life out of it, it’s been a trooper and the battery sill running strong.
I’ve been seeing a few posts about this, and judging by comments I’ve seen on posts related to this, there’s been bad sentiment building up with LMG for some time now that has culminated in this recent dispute. Anyone have a brief catch-up of events?
Came to say the exact same thing. Both benefit form it because here we are talking about it, so there’s no down side for either of them. And you’re right he’ll make a video, get 2 million views and bank.
Vladimir Putin’s luck may be running out now that the ruble plunged below one cent, the lowest level against the U.S. dollar since the early days of his war in Ukraine.
Since I’ve been on Lemmy, I don’t know what my use is for Mastodon anymore. It’s dead on there anyway. I don’t have anyone to talk to and nobody responds to my posts.
I was thinking if people are still sore about the retirement thing in Paris they should do a slow down or ramp up the protests and no one works to really tell their government how they feel by putting it all on display for the world.
I feel the supreme court is playing a game of fuck around and find out here. Hate to say it but supreme court ethics has pretty bipartisan support. These people are entrusted to be above that kind of behavior, but it’s already been shown that every member of the court has something to hide. If they’re not willing to self police themselves we will police them ourselves.
Sorry but I think the whole of the supreme court is rotten to the core as it stands, and I think some ethics are in dire need. If you think the liberal justices aren’t getting kickback, sweetheart deals, or vacations from wealthy billionaires, you’re kidding yourself. They’re going to push back on ethics because it might expose the true scale of the corruption in the supreme court. So you can give them a pass if you want, but the whole point of lifetime appointment was to rise above politics and currying favor, and as I see it in my life time the supreme Court has done little to improve people’s lives, but corporations have benefited to a great deal. I don’t think for a moment I think Congress is any better they’re rotten too, but they at least have to report their gifts. Like I said the bear f****** minimum.
Here I found an article that sums up my thoughts, but the liberals silence and even signing on with the conservatives saying that they don’t need ethics makes them complacent in the act. This is the same argument about bad cops just one bad apple, but people never finish the saying, spoils the bunch. The bunch that sits on the supreme court are a rotten to the core and if you think they’re not you’re deluding yourself.
I caught myself loads of times scrolling on Reddit while not even paying attention, or while scrolling on Reddit to then close it immediately opening Reddit again to continue scrolling....
I’ll say it like this, if a 14 to 17 year old wants a summer job fine, accept and understand that. Now here’s the problem with the article it only describes it as an accident and doesn’t give any information about what actually happened, so keep that in mind. If I had to guess this kid was doing something he wasn’t supposed to be doing, no I don’t mean that to attack the victim here. What I mean is probably a supervisor or someone told him to do something that he is literally not supposed to be doing because he’s too young to do it. Like I’ve worked a warehouse job and we don’t employ anyone under a certain age, but we had a cardboard baler and it says on explicitly no one under the age of 18 is allowed to operate. So that’s what I mean, is like chances are this kid either through their own actions or through being told by a supervisor, was doing something they weren’t supposed to be doing. Could have been the fall, could have been getting caught up in machinery, we just don’t know. And like this is a rural Mississippi town, I’ve been here actually there’s like a Sonic which I think would be a good summer job for kids, but there aren’t a ton of opportunities. But like something like sexing chicks on a poultry line like that’s a common job, checking eggs for quality that’s something they do and would be a quick and easy summer job for a kid. So while we don’t have the full details of this accident, and don’t get me wrong it’s terrible, it really is. I feel like they’re being a bit sensationalist with the headline here.
People down voting this clearly haven’t read what I’ve written here, so I’ll say it here for the kind of tldr, there’s a lot we don’t know about this situation, let the proper authorities do there job, I really don’t understand why CNN is even reporting on this tbh, but the news cycle has seemed a little slow lately.
Which is really why I feel like no one bother reading anything I wrote to be honest. It’s honestly confusing. One of my main issues with the CNN article was just thin it had no substance to it to bother with reporting on. Like literally what you post it has more information than the CNN article. I think what a lot of people don’t understand is this is a rural f****** place without a lot of opportunities for people that a lot of other places in the US have.
I didn’t come to a new service just to see it get taken over by the corporate beasts who ruined the internet in general, and I am sure as hell am not going to use an instance that doesn’t care about its users....
I think you sum up my thoughts pretty well. I stopped being facebook a long time ago when I realized I was just sitting there refreshing my feed and seeing the same things over hoping for new content. Then I moved to reddit, and honestly now that I look back on it, reddit has changed so much from when I first joined to when I left. New and original post and discussion is all but gone from there. It’s all reposts, bot, and people trying to sell something. I hate to say it I kinda see some of the same shit already starting here too. Like I really wanted to come here and just interact with people and see some new things. And I don’t know if it’s people bots or just the cycle of the internet, but I’m already seeing the same old posts I saw on Reddit already popping up here. So all I can say is don’t reddit my lemmy / fediverse. And facebook can just go ahead and fuck off. And people reposting shit from reddit, stop that now, there’s no karma here.
