Red Cross facing severe blood shortage
  • They are a non-profit organization. They aren't making money off of your blood, the money allows them to provide relief and services.

  • Country codes are hard
  • The second digit marks the beginning of the area code which cannot start with a 0

  • America has lost its f*****g mind.
  • Why do you even give a shit? You don't even live here

  • Doctors' warning after man tears hole in throat trying to stop sneeze
  • This frightens me because I've had considerable pain in my throat from trying to stifle a sneeze. I never realized I could actually hurt myself doing that.

  • What do you call this place?
  • Not sure if you are looking for a series answer, but where I live they are called: Right-of-Ways

  • YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"
  • I went nine times. I don't think I needed to keep going but I kept agreeing to the next appointment lol. My HSA covered it at least. Except for the first few appointments I'd go once a month. I don't plan on going again for now.

  • YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"
  • Everyone will have different experiences. Going to a chiropractor helped me with my posture in the long term. After my first visit it was no longer uncomfortable to stand up straight. I used to have this lump in the back of my neck and whatever they did made that go away. I did initially go for back pain and I can't say if the visits helped with back pain in the long term but the adjustment did help me with my posture.

  • Spotify Wrapped 2023 is out, what's your top artist and top song for the year?
  • Artist: Nine Inch Nails (top .05% of listeners)

    Song: Here, at the End of All Things by foxwedding

  • Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
  • I use a cheap, lower end Fitbit. I like the cheap one because it's low profile, the screen is nice and small.

    I do use it for time constantly but the other features are nice too. I can read, but not reply, to texts. I'm notified of an incoming call. I do use the step counter and hourly activity reminders to make sure I move enough at my sedentary job. The stopwatch feature is great for in-between sets at the gym. I like knowing my heart rate too when I'm working out.

  • Defenders of oatmeal
  • Since it's a powder, it's good for mixing.

  • Defenders of oatmeal
  • Yep! It's a thing. I want to say it's in the peanut butter section

  • Defenders of oatmeal
  • I eat oatmeal most mornings and for years I hated it until I figured out how I like it. This is my formula and it works for me.

    Old fashioned oats (quick oats are fine too)
    Peanut butter power
    Truvia brown sugar

    I use tap water and only just enough. I like my oats thick and not mushy. Just enough water that it's not crunchy.

  • Defenders of oatmeal
  • I put in only a little water to make mine thicker. It helps a lot with the texture

  • How do you work full-time and stay awake all shift?
  • First things first, do you get enough sleep at night?
    I work a desk job and do consistently get pretty drowsy around 2pm. I find that eating a lighter lunch and moving around keeps me awake. Take a walk around the building or something, it's bad for you to sit all day long anyways. I drink an energy drink every day as soon as I get in but I don't know what effect, if any, it has on my afternoon drowsiness.

  • Futurama - Archer
  • Are you forgetting about the whole "cameras in the bathroom" thing?

  • People of Lemmy! How to get fit?
  • I'm a woman who just wanted to be strong and I found that hiring a personal trainer was best for me. Not only do they tell you what to do but they walk you through the exercises. Having good form is really important.

  • youtube getting more agressive blocking users after 3 videos
  • None of my devices (all firefox with ublock) have had any issues with ads on youtube...yet.

  • The salary a single person needs to get by in every U.S. state
  • These numbers feel so high to me. I guess my definition of "get by" is different than theirs.

  • Most people rather be electronically shocked than left alone with their thoughts?
  • Ok, but how painful is the shock? If it's only mildly uncomfortable then this isn't surprising at all.

  • What are your favorite arguments for voting NO this August?

    I'm seeing a lot of confused voters on Facebook and Nextdoor and I want to do my best to convince them to vote no. Unfortunately, they are willing to give up their voting power just to spite people who are in favor of preserving the right to abortion.

    Some of my posts and comments are not showing up on the original instance.

    First example: Four days ago I posted an article to two different c/collapse communities. If I browse each community on their instance, my posts don't show up. Example

    Second example: I posted to a community but comments on my post don't appear unless I go to their instance. When I leave a comment it also doesn't show up for them. Example

    Can anyone explain what is going on?

    Playing Tomb Raider (2013) for the first time. I can't believe how good it is.

    Playing on PC if it matters. I love so much about this game! I don't even play action games most of the time. It's just so brutal, the shooting feels great, and the sound design is great. It definitely holds up very well for its age.

    One thing I thought I would hate is the Quick Time Events (QTEs). Usually, QTEs are annoying at best, but this game manages to make them feel pretty good. My heart gets pumping and it really feels like a struggle to get through, but in a good way.

    How do I search within a magazine?

    The only search I see searches everything.

    Where is the fractal trailer?

    I hope they don't wait til the day of again. Also, news on the future/new expansion would be great.

    Remember signatures? I think it's about time those made a comeback.

    Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic for forums. Maybe it would clutter up the comments. What do you all think?

    Week 2 of the WvW beta. What are your thoughts so far?

    Compared to week 1, reset was a lot smoother. There was still some fuckery with the borderlands opening when they shouldn't. Queue times were reasonable. That could be simply an issue of less people trying to play. We had very minimal lag as well. Saturday night was typical with the lag as well.

    I'm on Skrittsburgh and apparently the red team guys are from Mag lol

    I can't connect to a lemmy.wtf community. I don't know if something is broken or it's just me.
