I'm not sure that's really the opposite side, in reality.

Understood; just wanted to add on.

My point is more or less that this doesn't have to be a closed-book situation about fish oil. Maybe it can help in some other way, and/or maybe it really can work as 'advertised' in conjunction with other substances. Certainly wouldn't be the first time, if so.

Most fish oil is completely ineffective:

I've personally noticed some powerful effects from fish oil: 1) it can act as a neotropic booster, particularly in conjunction with SRI's and similar meds / substances, 2) it can cause me significant insomnia (no arrhythmia) if I take ~6-8 capsules.

Is that germane to this thread? Probably not, but something seems to be going on. Maybe fish oil has been studied so far on too limited a basis.

Seems like millions of redditors say just that through the many slaps in the face to users, then hang around anyway. :S

After being helped several times with my various community issues by our kind site-runner, I would like to make a useful donation at this time. Oy, but there seems to be a problem:

Now, I use an add-on in Chrome called "uMatrix," which is a script-blocker. This add-on forces me to hand-enable whatever necessary java-scripts there might be on sites, but it's not perfect. Okay, fine, so in Ko-fi's case, I wound up having to turn the tool completely OFF in order to get to the final payment-step, for anyone reading who had issues with such.

Now, to the final step:
My donation / pay options are evidently these: iDEAL, Bancontact, Przelewy24 and EPS.

New problem: I have utterly no idea what those are.
Is there a way then to donate via PayPal, perhaps?

EDIT: Sorry, I guess this should have gone in "Support." Please do move as necessary.

I may be missing something here

I would guess Larson wasn't a fan, and thought that "new age" practices were mainly performative and non-productive, leading practitioners to get stuck in repetitive little circles, getting nothing done in the end.

If so, it's a pretty cynical take IMO, and certainly one of his more personal, brassy ones.

Came here to make this point.
The CCP's version of "communism" is almost a textbook example to me of how an interesting system that can work beautifully on the local level can be completely betrayed and turned in to something much more like an oligarchy.

I don't understand how someone of reasonable knowledge and judgement could possibly be a tankie in 2024.

I think it's a nested joke, where that one game totally dominates the kid's free time, with the clueless parents thinking that's the only relevant game in existence.

Doesn't sound that far from Shepard's Pie though, a tasty dish beloved by zillions.

And then all they do is pay for the bare cost of the ingredients.

They could have tipped an extra $1000 and made a lot of people cheer. But no....

both choices suck

What puerile nonsense.

Trump already demonstrated that he was a complete disaster and Russian asset, and I hate linking to the evil empire, but:

Context: it was Clax' third three-pointer in the NBA (the magic number, perhaps?). He hadn't hit one going back to the '20-21 season.

In fact, Nic liked to take 3-pointers in college. He only hit at a 30% rate, but at least it's in his wheelhouse.

I'm the founder of the community in question, and one of the first things I noticed is that an admin @Xylinna@lemmy.world restored some of the posts even while OP was still banned. Unfortunately their action was useless what with the images being blocked or deleted from LW.

So I reached out to that person a day or two ago, and ~~have heard nothing but crickets, so far.~~ EDIT: They responded just now, altho it sounds a lot like they don't know much about the issue. Credit to them for trying to help, however.

It also appears my colleague still hasn't received any meaningful response.

Point is-- I don't understand this business of volunteering for a public-facing role and then either neglecting or refusing to communicate with users who've been wronged for one reason or another.

They are well within copyright in terms of timeline. Anything after 1927 can and likely is subject to copyright. I don’t like it but that’s how it works. Given that they are images from trading cards, it would not surprise me if the rights holder was enforcing copyright through a third party service.

Granted, but I don't think that was the issue in this case. The Moebius images in question were arbitrarily removed/blocked, with most being zapped, but others remaining.

For the record, none of the many other copyrighted images were removed, either.

I thought his smugness worked... for a while. He's been right on a great many things across his career, and was able to frame his scathing critiques in fairly unique, clever ways. (and/or his writers were) Indeed, at one time I admired his ability to look at things from pretty daring angles, even if he was sometimes way off.

Problem is, he's not the same anymore. Sort of like Joe Rogan, who at least started out with honest, interesting, amusing takes in a sort of 'college student+' kind of way. But something seems to have happened to these guys across the years. Not just the wealth, but the growing insulation from reality and.. the normalisation of right-wing extremism. Something like that, anyway.

Still, I can't just forget that Maher was killing it for plenty of years, there, even if he did rub people the wrong way.

  • Asterius - Terrific, sprawling, puzzle-ish roguelike, easy to play but with lots of secrets to discover, and a long learning curve to win. (note: I've written a guide with hints, which I'd only recommend using as a last resort)

  • Bounty Hunter Space Lizard - Ah, so delicious. It's a fun roguelike, a bit like Pixel Dungeon, but with more condensed runs, and loads of character. As with PD, you'll move through different stages and battle different end-bosses.

(thanks for reading; the other 18 are in the link)
