    Brodie, this is your sign to take a small t-break. Not medical advice, just watching your 6.

    Your meds are there to help you live the life you want and shouldn’t make you choose them over the other pleasures in life. Are you taking breaks on weekends?

    Remember that at the end of the day they’re stimmies, and dependency is very real for us ADHD peeps.

    Choose life papa.


  • That’s not how herd immunity works, once the population reaches a certain threshold it all goes to the toilet because not everybody can sustain the same immunity over long periods of time.

    Herd immunity makes it hard for the virus to jump from person to person because the statistics dictate how likely it is for transmission to occur.

    When a large amount of people are immunized it is less likely for it to jump from a newly vaccinated child to an adult that got vaccinated years ago because of the buffers that might exist in between those people.

    When a less than useful amount of people are vaccinated it is more likely that it will just jump to all of the adults with weaker immunity.

    So even if you’re immunized, sometimes that immunity goes away quickly as it did with the COVID vaccine.

    Humanity is reaping what they sowed.











  • Like, otherwise this is just another fucking news site.

    It’s annoying because people have opinions including those that create the titles for the news links and more often than not even the medical news is subjected to the weird and shitty clickbait tactics used across the net.

    I would also like to express my opinion without having to worry about other people’s fucking feelings (within reason; nothing related to hate) like for fucks sake I understand that some people align a certain direction politically, I don’t hate you, I just don’t agree and think that you might’ve rushed to a conclusion there.

    Ediiiiit: I like the Lemmy hivemind, it’s much more tolerable and thoughtful than the other fucking site. So I’m not asking for a change actually. I prefer to be told why my opinion sucks but having to explain my whole thought process is a tiny bit aggravating sometimes in order for both of us to realize that we were arguing about two different things. Like… what the fuck man.



  • There’s a beetle that secretes a burning / poisonous substance whenever it has sex and the female will gladly cover the eggs in said poison to deter predators from eating them.

    This same poison (cantharidin) can be used topically to treat molluscum contagiosum bumps which is a very common virus that affects children for putting their hands absolutely on all dirty surfaces but also in grown adults in the form of a sexually transmitted disease.

    Some places consider it an aphrodisiac but it’s just a poison. Don’t eat it.

    All I know is they’re different in the sense that hubiera is more related to you personally and habría is more related to “was there”

    Hubiera echo algo antes de que pasara.

    Habría una posibilidad de haber echo algo?

    Also I’m more familiar with Mexican Spanish and refuse to speak in Spain’s terms




  • I think that this issue is minor enough to be resolved through other agencies, yes. What I think is not always what is best for everyone though, and I understand it’s a bit self centered to think that my opinion should dictate policy lol.

    I just wish things like student debt, bad healthcare under the guise of bleeding edge technology and research, low wages, unemployment, global warming and mass incarceration should be top priority.

    Instead they’re arguing over what an entirely different country with a completely different culture and subculture should be doing to accommodate foreign nationals. Yeah it’s shitty that they’re not being inclusive but it’s a bit selfish, no?

    Am I being an ass? Sure. I just wish we could focus on more emergent local problems rather than start making a mess out of other countries political systems. I think the “world police” concept is rather overplayed and quite annoying to think of when there is bigger stuff happening at home.
