I used to take CBD every day for anxiety and I only found this out after a couple years so thanks for bringing it up. If your medication says to avoid grapefruit, then you probably should not take CBD

Have you tried cgrp antagonists? I tried literally everything to the point where multiple neurologists said they couldn’t help me. I was using THC for a long time for my migraines but I was still suffering. With cgrp antagonists I feel 100% normal and it works every time, even if it takes longer if I take it too late.

It’s worth trying a sample if you haven’t, because it’s a world of difference between being high with a migraine and just not having one anymore IMO

Nurtec is approved for preventative now too

CBD never did shit for migraines for me, only anxiety

Blockchain (simplified) is a giant excel spreadsheet that you can never edit, only add to. I struggle to think of any applications that is a benefit for, and even then append only databases would already do it better.

One of the benefits is supposed to be decentralization, but people tout that as a benefit for things like house deeds, or identification, or whatever. Imagine how massive an append only excel file of every house with every owner change etc etc included in it would be. Then we once again only have the people who can afford to store that much data storing it, and we are back to where we are now.

It doesn’t really solve any problems, it just is a worse version of what already exists.

There’s a lot of shitty people who are still on reddit that I don’t want coming here. Reddit will die on it’s own regardless of what pictures are put on /r/place

By not giving them traffic

The best protest would be a blank canvas.

For me it was mostly about accessibility, because reddit essentially told disabled people they aren’t welcome. So … bye

But also the attempt at monetizing FUCKING EVERYTHING is pissing me off. I miss the internet where most things were free. I am not going to pay a subscription to read an aggregation of links. If I have to pay I am going to choose something more fun over social media.

I’m sure that will be on there regardless. Less views is a bigger fuck you than any banner

I went to college for engineering, ended up switching to a math degree.

Figured out I liked computer science while taking CS classes for my math degree, minored in that and planned to be a software engineer.

Realized I don’t want to code all day, got offered a sys engineer position.

Figured out DevOps existed a few years into working and now I do that

Most people don’t know what they want to do and figure it out as they go. There are a lot of people that picked X for the money and stuck with it and hate their job.

It’s well documented it veterinary literature, you can believe the studies or not 🤷‍♀️. It’s not like it kills your cat instantly, you just deal with diabetes kidney or urinary issues in the future. Not sure why someone would not try to prevent that.

So far the only actual study we have on this says it’s not a real thing. Sure, some cats have different preferences but it’s not like you are torturing your cat with normal bowls and need to run out and buy special ones.

If you’re feeding your cat an infinite supply of dry food without a feeding schedule you have bigger things to be concerned about than whisker fatigue.

I mean being unlikeable is unpopular so… it fits lol

For me, the issues with reddit and Twitter are moral ones. Twitter consors whatever fascist leaders ask them to, and harmful misinformation is highlighted. Reddit has intentionally excluded disabled people from their site. Both of those I don’t want to support.

I understand some people see it as “the websites are just worse now but I’m a casual user so it doesn’t bother me”, but it’s a bigger issue than that for some of us.

I’m not going to go out of my way to shit on anyone for still using those sites, and I haven’t seen any of that on the fediverse either. This post comes off as you trying to make yourself feel better. If you feel bad about it then … stop using them? If you don’t then continue on with your life.

I used to subject myself to those rating subs on 4chan for some dumbass reason when I was younger, do not recommend. Sucks to see people fall into the same cycle.

Reddit is a bunch of people asking each other to rate them now, including their clothes and wedding dresses. I don’t understand the appeal of any of those subs, especially when we already know some of them were specifically created by 4chan to try to get people to kill themselves 😬

I deleted all my comments and posts but kept my account in case reddit undeletes anything. Also to keep my saved stuff and messages. I don’t feel like it matters if I keep my account or not since I’m not using the site anymore

Bots are running wild thanks to the api changes and the loss of pushift. It’s a feature, not a bug.

To be honest, it looks like their attempt at monetizing the API wasn’t even turned on yet. They just blocked certain API keys from being able to use oauth. Which is what broke RedReader despite it supposed to be spared for blind people.

All third party apps are still working, you just can’t log in. Apps who decided to charge a monthly fee still have no pricing from reddit and are still operating for free until reddit figures out wtf they are doing, or at least that’s what I’ve gathered based on the announcements from those apps.

NSFW content was supposed to be removed from the API yesterday but still nothing 🤷‍♀️

This is my #1 also. So many people “just asking questions”

I also hate the circlejerk of people going “I cannot possibly comprehend being gay/trans/disabled/whatever but I let them do what they want!” They’re not aliens, you can listen to them explain what they are going through and have empathy. It’s not very complicated.
