Are Internet boards and Forums dead

i started using the internet in the late 2000’s and still remember when you search for something most of the times it would return with a forum post … now its just random websites … if you ever need real and concise answer you have to add site:reddit.com at every search and since discord or twitter are not crawlable by...

TimoBRL,

Two months ago I started using Kagi as a Google alternative. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes not having to wade through a list of sponsored links first and actually getting the results I want.

TimoBRL,

Now you shouldn’t be using his own words against him. That just makes him look like an idiot.

TimoBRL,

I remember seeing her at the 2016 Olympics in Rio thinking she’s going to dominate this thing so hard the coming years. It’s so sad her career and personal life have been derailed because of some predator. Amazing to see she’s doing better!

TimoBRL,

That’s rough. Is there any way to reverse the damage done?

TimoBRL,

Context: I’m a family medicine doctor, so this is based on my personal experience, but also that of colleagues.

I think the surge in people coming out as trans is a fad and (in our population) most are autistic people who don’t recognize how they feel and therefore think they are trans. Spoiler alert: once they transition, they still don’t know how they feel, but now they are more conflicted and psychiatric comorbidities worsen.

I get the feeling you’re personally offended by this, and if so, I’ll apologize as it was never my intention.

The above statement is just an observation myself and colleagues I’ve shared my concerns with did. It might be a coincidence, but nearly all our transitioned patients had a prior diagnosis for autism, and without exception all had psychiatric comorbidities.

This also seems to be in line with the (scarce) literature on the subject. (I.e. 1 2)

I hope I’m wrong and my patients are just exceptions, and that we won’t look back at these years with regret.

TimoBRL,

It’s the closest translation of the Dutch “huisarts” that’s available.

“A general practitioner, commonly known as a family doctor or primary care physician, is a medical professional who focuses on providing general healthcare to patients. They often serve as the initial point of contact for individuals with medical concerns. General practitioners treat a wide range of health issues, offer preventive care, make diagnoses, and prescribe medications. When necessary, they refer patients to specialists for more specialized care. In essence, a general practitioner is a key figure in healthcare, playing a crucial role in managing individuals’ health.”

TimoBRL,

This Youtube-dl? Glad it’s back then.

TimoBRL,

Probably because people like me haven’t heard of the latter.

TimoBRL,

It’s a public secret that “Winkel 137” (EN: “Shop 137”) in Rotterdam is a front for illegal activity, most likely drugs. It’s never open during normal hours, the shelves are barely stocked, and no one ever really enters the place. It’s been there for as long as I can remember though.

If you look at the place in Google maps you can even see some weird ducts coming out of the wall on the above floor, presumably to clear out some of the vapors coming from the shop.

TimoBRL,

Cool story. Thanks for sharing.

TimoBRL,

I’ve heard this before, but I don’t know where this comes from. Why was he forced to buy Twitter?

As men get older, it becomes more challenging to initiate urination. As a result, the distance the urine stream travels at the beginning becomes unpredictable.

On the other hand, towards the end of urination, the stream becomes weaker and may cause post-dribbling. This also increases the chances of hitting the toilet seat.

Failing to clean the toilet seat afterward is simply pure rudeness though.
