I use 1440, which sums up daily news in a fact-based way and leaves out all opinion. It's magical. It takes 10 minutes to read and I'm not bombarded by why "libtards are destroying america" or why "this ties back to trump destroying democracy" somehow.

Highly recommend it for daily news.

It's not going to be a fix for everyone, but if you feel like this guy, you should check to see if you've got the rare form of the MTHFR Gene, which means you'll be up to 80% deficient of methylfolate.

Methylfolate is what our body turns folic acid into. It's a base element that our bodies use to function properly. If you've got an extreme deficiency, well, things just aren't functioning properly. People affected with this will have lived with these issues their whole lives.

Now, up to 60% of the population has a mild form of MTHFR, so the gene itself isn't uncommon, it's the rare form you'll be looking for.

Anyway, getting on a high dose of methylfolate changed my life, life from night to day, I'm not kidding. I still take medication for anxiety and depression, but the methylfolate helps them to function like they're supposed to.

Again, it's not a fix for everyone, but on the off chance you have it, I'd check it out.

OceanSoap ,

They do call it The MotherFucker gene, lol

OceanSoap ,

I'm assuming in a bid to conduct door-to-door preaching is what the title was supposed to say?

OceanSoap ,

Yeah, I'm a woman fascinated by true crime. Watching/listening/reading about it just helps me to feel more... aware of how shit can go down. For example, a couple was murdered after a man snuck in behind their car as they pulled into their garage. He was caught on servalience camera, dressed in all black with his face covered. You can watch him very clearly as he easily slips in before the garage door closes. Once that door closed, that couple were goners.

You bet your ass I make damn sure no one has snuck into my garage before I close the door.

Like, obviously you'll never be able to catch everything, or be so watchful that nothing ever happens to you, but I just feel a lot better knowing what to look out for.

I also love watching interrogation breakdowns, because if I'm ever in a situation where I'm being interrogated, I want to make damn sure I know how to protect myself.

So basically yeah, your wife is correct.

OceanSoap ,

Not all true crime are dramatizations... there are a million YouTube shows out there that show you the exact footage, go over the exact details, etc....

Shoutout to That Chapter!

OceanSoap ,

Yeah, it's easy to say it, but not so easy in practice, especially when they can lie to your face.

OceanSoap ,

Just like everything else. It's easy when it's not happening to you.

OceanSoap ,

Easy enough when you label anything to the right of your stance as facist.

OceanSoap ,

Yeah, I've tried to switch a few times. Tea literally does nothing for me.

OceanSoap ,

Same, but I'm also not concerned about FOSS, I just want a reliable app and sync is it.

OceanSoap ,

I'm so confused. Thought out all our wars, we've had journalists go to the country we're fighting and interview our enemies. Why is it now a bad thing?

OceanSoap ,

Curious as to why this fell out of fashion?

Women STEM students up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism (www.hepi.ac.uk)

We know that women students and staff remain underrepresented in Higher Education STEM disciplines. Even in subjects where equivalent numbers of men and women participate, however, many women are still disadvantaged by everyday sexism. Our recent research found that women who study STEM subjects at undergraduate level in England...

I'm a woman in STEM. I only went to a CC, so maybe there's a difference there, but I didn't experience much sexism in my time there.

I have experienced it at work, but usually from the younger, unsocialized men. Is it a problem? Sure, but I'll take that over my bosses being sexist.

Also, along with the sexism does come some privilege. When I do something wrong, I tend to get taken easier on when it comes to punishment. I also am able to form.... different (non-sexial) bonds with the higher ups. These dynamics are much different to any bonds I had with female bosses from my previous field of work, and they're different than the bonds the higher ups have with my male counterparts. I can say that I don’t worry about being laid off or fired.

However, I'm also fairly certain that I have a sharp awareness of these bonds and how to manipulate them to get what I want.

Not trying to poo-poo any sexism claims, just that there's also certainly a privilege to be had being a woman minority in a male-dominated field.

OceanSoap ,

Why's that? People like me fine.

OceanSoap ,

Ah yes someone has a different experience?? They must internally hate themselves. 🙄

I'm not omiting anything, just adding that some privilege comes along with the sexism.

OceanSoap ,

I know what it means, its just used incorrectly a lot, like it is here.

OceanSoap ,

It's lemmy. Who cares

OceanSoap ,

Small-scale landlords also usually have full time jobs and use rent to supplement their income. Not every landlord is just rolling in cash.

OceanSoap ,

The people who are actually angry tend to be FOSS advocates. I think they were assuming Sync would have a FOSS type option for users, and were surprised that wasn't the case.

The rest of us just think it's funny.

I'm a sync user, btw

OceanSoap ,

It's even more shitty to target him, imo.
