Actually it’d cut the p out of the end, even though there is room, the time on the right has a little black on the left. REM sleep fits but Deep Sleep would be Deep Slee maybe with a bit of the p showing. But yeah it could be designed so that it would’ve fit I think

I haven’t tried modafinil no. Should give it a whack if any comes available. I used to have a classmate who was on it but that was 10+ year’s ago and I didn’t really know him.

What actually worked best was the very plain diet but I just… it’s just so boring eating nothing but rice and gluten free fish sticks. But then I started to be able to just easily sleep 6 hours and get up. Felt like a real person. Because genuinely oftentimes if I try to get up but haven’t gotten enough rest, I’ll be worse off than when I’ve had a bottle of rum. Like my eyes won’t go straight and I can’t really get up properly.

Although I have to admit that some of these later long sleeps have been contributed to by the new meds I got for a broken rib, amitriptyline or the like. But it’s alaovi used for IBS and depression, and neither of those are going amiss for me basically.

But man it’s tiring. Idk how that would help anyone with depression. I mean yeah I care less about being tired and am not as annoyed about sleeping more than half the day but I don’t feel like it’s really helped my depression at all if it keeps me asleep for more than half the day.

But even without it I have issues. And I open curtains and have automatic lights to come on full at a decent wakeup time.

But yeah I could give modafinil a whack if i had some idk. But I think I’ll just have to to back to rice/fish/potatoes/chicken diet.

And “ight sleep”. Like aaaight, that waa good enough. Lol.

it’s deep and light ofc they scroll the text and I toon a bad photo

I started smoking weed about around 16 or 18. Not often. But pretty daily from my mid 20’s at least. Definitely helps with eating and nausea or gi-pain. (Sitting on the toilet for an hour or two is much easier when you also have a bong and a phone with you.)

I don’t have a lot of infections and am generally “within normal parameters” as like you say, the doctors can only think there’s a single problem at a time. And at least here I always get a new doctor for most visits and I get like 30 min meeting every blue moon.

The public doctors kinda suck for complex, chronic issues. And I can’t afford private ones to that extent.

I don’t think my malabsorption is quite as bad as yours, but then I also randomly get seizures, to which I’ve gotten zero explanations for. Tested for epilepsy and had and MRI and whatnot, but nothing. But since Finland is kinda backwards when it comes to cannabis, they blamed it on my “drug use”. (Even though I have high CBD strains and they’re literally anti-convulsants to a degree iirc.)

Yeah luckily I don’t have it quite that bad, (especially after I went on an exclusion diet and slowly added things to a really plain diet and sort of figured a bit what works what doesn’t) but, yes, I definitely agree with you. Not fun.

I’d rather be fat and jolly than slim and super cranky from constantly being in some weird state of mild starvation. But it’s so mild and I make sure to supplement vitamins and whatnot so none of my basic lab-work is showing anything too far out of the ordinary, so the busy public doctors can’t be bothered to look into it since to them everything seems fine. Even when I can show them almost a years worth of literally shit pics, me having taken photographs of my stinky and floating orange poo. (I sent them to a spam-email I have so I don’t have to keep them in my phone’s gallery.)

Sort of and also not. Not getting energy from food also means I have no energy for you know, existing.

So while I might not need to worry about getting fat, I’ve also nowhere to display not being fat.

I tend to sleep quite a lot.

Jokes on you I got some sort of undiagnosed malabsorption issues and won’t get fat even when I eat burgers and candy and alcohol day after day.

King Leopold the 2nd of Belgium.

described at the time

Hmm… I wonder when these…

Leopold II was the second king of the Belgians from 1865 to 1909, and the founder and sole owner of the Congo Free State from 1885 to 1908.

Oh that’s not too long ago. “Sole owner of the Congo Free State” sounds like a contradiction tbh

Well guess I just haven’t seen 'em then.

I’m not saying light ones don’t exist. I just haven’t seen any.

The headsets I’ve seen which take AA batteries were heavy af.

Drove home today from the countryside in Finland. A station every 30km at least.

Gas costs ~2€/litre.

Yeah 100 years ago the argument may have actually made sense.

I would imagine them being slower and sneakier, with lighter armored but more specialized soldiers.

Again, you’re really thinking of frontline soldiers, which is kind of a small part of the jobs in the military. And you’re pretty much thinking of the army(and/or marines).

I’d say that women are people, like men, and like men, they have more individual strengths and weaknesses than they do as a group. Military is just built around the physicality of men, but most of the taller girls kept up pretty well, just like it was easier for the taller guys to keep up with things.

And the reason the girls usually didn’t get placed in the frontline groups was that those are the shortest and easiest to train, and every one of those women volunteered, so they’re didn’t want to just take the shortest and simplest way out (as the training and thus service time for basic infantry was months shorter).

Also I know of at least one girl who was an infantry squad leader (leader of a jaeger squad jääkärialikersantti) and went off to become an infantry officer after her service. She tried getting in the first time, but as her tests weren’t in the top, she wasn’t accepted, but everyone can go through the training after their service with the next group of arrivals if they so choose and fulfill certain requirements. So she should be an officer now. Last saw her some 16 years ago when she went off to the after-service officer course. So I’d reckon she might be a lieutenant or even an overlieutenant or maybe even a captain if she’s been actively going to reserve drills. Probably not, but at least a vänrikki (one under lieutenant, ~ensign, nato rank OF-1)

But like my point is that they’re really not that different.

One thing I did kinda dislike though is that the physical requirements were less for women than men. Because I think they should be set by objective needs and not just be scoring the physically best of each sex.

I’m Finnish and did do my service, and we had quite a few women.

Most women get placed as drivers or leaders, but “enlisted” ranks (sergeant etc) instead of officers. This isn’t to do with sexism, well mostly not, it’s just that the officer training really is also physically very demanding and goes by scores from all sorts of different tests (mostly physical) so usually they don’t end up there.

However I do have a slight issue with your plain statement of “a woman can aim and pull the trigger just as easily as a man” because you’re implying a frontline soldier, and that shit is physically demanding. Google “syöksyen eteenpäin” or “tetsaus”. Basically a fronline soldier is equipped with some 10-15kg of gear and a rifle and you have to be able to crawl then jump forward, then crawl then jump forward, and that’s your method of progressing through the territory under enemy fire. And if your fighting partner (fighting partners arr the smallest unit, below a squad) or squadmate of 100kg gets shot, you are supposed to be able to evacuate them.

And while I could list a lot that the women did better then men or at least as well (most), evacuating men isn’t one of the things they’re really as good as. Ofc there are small men as well, but there’s no denying the difference in muscle strength, and the scrawniest guys usually wouldn’t necessarily be in the frontlines if there was a better place to put them.

Which is why most of the women I served with ended up as things which aren’t frontline soldiers. Drivers and leaders of supply and medical squads. Ofc there might be fighting but it’s less likely.

Which I think is pretty good, as, well, I’m not gonna argue women are better at organisational stuff (I think they might be but positive sexism is still sexism), but they’re definitely not worse than men. So makes sense to use them where their strengths shine and weaknesses don’t show.

In Finland every male musters the year they turn 18 and roughly 75% end up going through military service all the way.

But yeah in like >90% of stuff definitely equal. But no they weren’t better shots despite the myth. Although my sample size was only a dozen or two but none of them were especially crack shots. They weren’t bad but they weren’t anything special either

Most carnivorous plants don’t actually need to eat bugs to survive

Source pls.

Most of those plants live in extremely nutritionally poor ground, so when you grow them at home and they have nutrition, they wouldn’t require eating I guess.

But evolution did not make flycatcher plants just for the lulz.

Okay and what happens nowadays?

I mean I’m not disagreeing, I was there as a teenager back then as well, I 'member. But what happens to them now?

Yeah anyone who refuses to recognise this “I didn’t vote for Kamala because she wasn’t a perfect person even though I knew Trump would then win”-rhetoric as Russian propaganda, is an idiot.

First of all, calling Lemmy or PieFed a “forum” is a stretch of the term, just like

By which weird definition? They are literally open forums.

Dictionary

Definitions from Oxford Languages

forum /ˈfɔːrəm/

noun

1.
a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
"we hope these pages act as a forum for debate"
	
	
>    a website or web page where users can post comments about a particular issue or topic and reply to other users' postings.

traditional forums have been used for porn basically as long as they have existed.

Yeah and it has always weirded me out. It’s like those people who watch porn with their friends. Like supposedly heterosexual adult men spending their free time watching porn together? Idk man, you do you but it’s not my cup of tea. No judgement. I just don’t get it.

Yeah it’s probably good for sharing images, but… do you have a hard time finding then yourself? The internet really isn’t short for porn. Loads of sites are literally full of UHD quality videos of whatever you happen to be into.

And it’s not like it’s actually the creator posting stuff. >95% of the time at least it’s someone horny posting someone else’s picture and going “what do you like my so-and-so”.

And you really can’t argue that Lemmy is a good platform for sharing videos. It’s just not. It’s good for sharing links to videos, sure, but not videos in and of themselves.

mmy for porn have in common with people who wear those kinds of shirts

I don’t think I need to define vague associations my brain made when writing a reply on Lemmy. Hard to put a finger on it, but I’m sure you get the gist of what I meant.

What “what”?

I’m saying I find it baffling people use forums for porn, and in mu opinion, these people share qualities with people who walk around with shirts like this.
