    Is it just the advertising that you disagree with? Kinda seems like pokemon is also a slavery and exploitation simulator but all the slaves have happy faces instead of sad ones

    I've seen a few friends using them and right now it appears they all use a limit of 1or 2 filters. If you want to filter for nonsmoking and no pets (as a random example) that's all you get, plus age range.

    Now, if you're into open relationships you can't filter out monogamous people or the other way around. So now you switch out your smoking filter for relationship status and you're getting a ton of people who smoke.

    I have no data to back this up but i fully believe the algorithm tries to make it as inconvenient as possible for you to find anyone to match with including hiding people who've already liked you from your matches

    I've worked in a lot of different schools since the start of the pandemic. I think I've seen fewer than 5 masked teachers in the past year. I'm trying to specifically remember but I can't.

    Are there any pokemon games other than heartgold/soulsilver that had your first pokemon follow you around in the overworld? That was my favourite one of the newer(post gameboy colour) ones for that mechanic alone.

    They don't talk about it much but yeah Jordan is still some kind of weird incoherent leftish guy who yells about how putin is the devil once in a while. Dan still is a fence sitting civility guy who doesn't really get into his own opinions much. I wouldn't listen to their episodes about Alex's reaction to tucker interviewing putin, if I were you lol

    I got it for the second confirmed time recently and the symptoms lasted almost 2 full weeks, testing positive on antigen tests the entire time.

    I was listening to knowledge fight yesterday and they were talking about Alex's grift he released in 2021 called reset wars. One of the hosts made an offhanded remark like "keep in mind this was released during the pandemic.... Which is ongoing but this was released when thousands of people were dying a day"

    I almost yelled at the car stereo. We know there's a MASSIVE spike in infections right now but we don't have any data other than wastewater so there's no way to have an accurate death count.

    Another grim thing i heard i think on the death panel podcast was that one of the reasons recent strains of COVID seem "less deadly" is because most of the people who were at risk of dying to a single COVID infection are already dead. That was a big wake up call for me to get my shit together honestly.

    It relates to your comment about it being a burden, people who would ostensibly be on our side are more likely to hedge and "uh well i guess" their way through anything about COVID while any reactionary just shouts whatever they heard last at anyone who will listen

    Is it because of how readily available tobacco is or because of the chemical itself? A secret third factor?

    How does anyone quit smoking cigarettes?

    (I have never intentionally smoked nicotine I'm not asking for advice)

    I can barely manage my THC consumption enough to keep it relatively stable and i don't have to fight the urge to buy it every time I buy gas or groceries.

    Anyone who has quit any drug that's actually hardcore addictive with serious withdrawals too, I can't even imagine the willpower.

    If you've got that much control over your mind and body you're basically a superhero to me

    So it's now undeniable that I've had serious and untreated ADHD my whole life. I'm in my mid 30s what would being medicated realistically feel like for me?

    Every screening and official diagnostic I've taken has me scoring max ADHD points and every time someone describes a symptom I'm left confused that other people don't have them. Will my personality change? I feel like being a disorganized disheveled loud interrupter is most of my personality at this point idk. I've never done any stimulants beyond drinking a million coffees per day so i have some anxiety about this

    Would someone please help me understand when using "they" as a catch-all pronoun is transphobic?

    I've seen a few posts recently calling people out for using "they" when referring to someone with gendered or neo pronouns. As a long time dumb guy I was under the impression that gender neutral pronouns were basically always acceptable and I'm now concerned that I have been unintentionally making people uncomfortable. My current understanding based on context is that once someone has made their pronouns known, unless specifically included, 'they' is no longer acceptable. Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me out

    Can you misgender a baby? (Based on real events)

    My child is AMAB but isn't even old enough to talk let alone express an identity based on societal gender norms. That being said almost everyone we meet will refer to them with she/her pronouns until they hear the name which is typically male coded. More often than not they become very apologetic even though I don't really care at all. As I say to them "he doesn't seem to mind either way" with a smile. This has me thinking, however, about how to handle this situation in a way that, when old enough to understand, shows my child that they get to decide how to be referred to, not other people. Any thoughts or opinions?
