This is not true in the Netherlands. You don’t get any tests if there is nothing wrong.

Healthcare in this country scares me.

I also thought this sounds pretty low

So I installed tik tok for the first time yesterday. I don’t get how it’s supposed to show me things I like. It’s mostly hot girls doing makeup or teens running from the police and stuff. How do I get it to show me things I like? How does it discover my niche interests.

No - I’ve never been able to nap.

I am interested in taking an anti anxiety med, but I find the sexual side effects terrifying.

It started for me after I got vaccinated and rode in public transport for the first time in a year. I was reading some articles back then on HN about how readjusting to “normal” life is particularly difficult for some people. I’m thinking it might be this. Inner turmoil that life will be normal again and the stressors of life will come back. I dunno.

I run 3x a week. I would like to every day, but my shins won’t allow me to.

I took one, one night when I felt particularly hopeless. But I might just do the rest every night in a row to do that reset. In my mind I don’t want to “waste” them as it feels somehow safe to have them in my drawer just in case. It’s Temazepam btw.

I take a multi every day, but I’ll try this.

Yes I have, including formulations with vitamin B, and other herbal remedies.

No effect.

I end up lying awake until 4 am and then have some very very light sleep for about and hour or two. My Garmin shows me that I get no deep sleep at all.

Since about three weeks ago I cannot sleep. It’s very strange. I know the feeling of anxiety and how it leads to not sleeping, it’s something I’ve had in the past at very stressful jobs. I’ve learned techniques to deal with this, like breathing and mindfulness. But right now this feels different. I’m tired, I’m lying in bed, and I don’t have any stressful thoughts. Yet somehow I just don’t fall asleep. It feels like something in my brain doesn’t “click”. When I do sleep meditation I can feel myself “sinking” towards sleep, but then I just remain awake.

I’ve been to the doctor and all she did was give me benzodiazepines which I don’t want to try. Has anyone out there ever experienced something like this? I feel so thoroughly broken after not sleeping for nearly a month.

No, this needs to be called out as the obvious racism it is as this mentality is slowly infiltrating the European tech sector.

This just doesn’t work in practice. If you speak up about anyone at work posting hateful content about men or white people, you will be ignored and are likely to receive disciplinary action yourself.

Even worse so, if you complain about misandrist words like “mansplaining” or “techbros” being used AT work, nothing will happen. This is purely one sided and makes workplaces extremely toxic.

But it doesn’t. Switch doesn’t support it. PS4 doesn’t support it.

This might be the most annoying cookie notice I’ve ever seen. I can’t reject cookies on the page, have to click through to another page, where I cannot even find the option to do so.

Shame on you Atlas Obscura, this should not even be legal. Does anybody know if this is in line with GDPR?

Your anus is not actually just a hole you can just pour things into. It seals itself. A funnel is of the essence when trying to pour liquids into the rectal cavity.

Overconfidence is a flimsy shield.

So what reasonable steps can one take to effectively decrease intake of these.

I have personally: stopped using food that is heated in plastic in the microwave. I drink mainly tap water, which I used to drink out of plastic bottles I refilled. I switched these to glass and metal. I stopped using my beloved water atomizer, as I also read on HN that inhaling this stuff is awful.

I want to replace my plastic cutting boards and bowls.

What else can I reasonably do?

There’s perverts of every gender, and not limited to males. Instilling this sort of sexism in children from an early age is not great.

One of the largest gym chains here is called Fit for Free.

It’s very much not free.

So I’m in the same boat but I’ve noticed an interesting dark pattern they use now to discourage old Reddit.

I often land in a comment section of a specific post, and then want to see more of the subreddit by clicking the link of the subreddit in the top of the page. Since about a month now, every subreddit shows me it’s only available through the app. I used to then preface the url with old. however now they’ve somehow done it that I will see the specific (locked) subreddit page, but the url will just be Reddit.com with nothing else, effectively making it impossible to add the old. before the url.

And all of this while twitch’s “Just Chatting” section is basically Soft Core porn, “hot tub streams” accessible to underage users, exploiting vulnerable, desperate people for insane amount of donations.

Twitch is definitely a slippery slope, especially in distributing soft core porn to underage kids.

I really can’t fathom how this could ever be approved by a brand team or a social media team? There must’ve been several people involved, from the initial planning stages to do something for April fools, to coming up with an idea, to writing copy for it, to sending out the email to customer lists, to briefing customer care teams that it’s a joke and not real. And no one thought “hey, this is a bad idea. There’s a lot of people struggling financially right now, let’s shock them into thinking their account got hacked and they are out a significant amount of money”. How could this even happen? I’m really truly dumbfounded. What was the expectation here? That people would find it funny, to get a scare that they’re out of money, that their personal information was misused? In no scenario does this make deliveroo look good - like ... how did this happen?!?!?

Similarly when Americans use the generic term “white people”

It would be wise to stop feeding the outrage machine for no other reason to create more outrage.

Jesus, what is this site? Clickbaity title “One of the world’s greatest hidden fortunes is wiped out in days (click to find out what it is ;))”, GDPR warning you need to individually opt out for, and then before you can even see what the great fortune is, a focus stealing pop up to Sign up for their newsletter! I backed out and lost interest in what that fortune is.

Does anybody have a way do something like this from Google photos to a different host? I really want a second copy of stuff on Google photos, and takeout is completely unusable for me.

I find that anybody who uses the term mansplaining loses credibility. If others opinion becomes disposable to you due to their gender identity, then you are a sexist.

Go play any online game and have a gay sounding voice. All of the sudden that great white male privilege women like this think we have also disappears.
