I do like some intellectual stimulation and will hold contrarian views just to test the waters of my own understanding or to test yours. I don't always believe the things I say online. I want you, AND me to understand the world around us better.

  • What is the word for someone who is friends with different groups but doesn't have loyalty to any one group?

    Jump

  • No. Because as a friend, it's not my job to dictate my friends-friends. I've had plenty of friends that were friends with my enemies. I've had friends that were friends with ex-cons, etc. No problems.

    Jump

  • I'd call them normal. What kind of psychopath has multiple friend groups, but is only "loyal" to one of them?

    Or counter to that...

    Cautious? I've known plenty of people who had just been hurt by past friendships, so they were cautious about putting themselves out there too much for fear of getting hurt.

  • Proton Pass breaks prowlarr on firefox since today

    Jump

  • Proton Pass is a password manager? I'm failing to see why it has anything to do with a web service that you're running. You should be asking in support for Proton Pass.

  • Is the SNES emulator Snes9x no longer trusted?

    Jump

  • Just hasn't really been in the spotlight is all; SNES9x is still great.

  • 11-Year-Old Boy Hears For the First Time as Scientists Get Closer to Finding a Cure for Hearing Loss

    Jump

  • I cannot fucking wait for hearing loss to be something we completely, 100% tackle. I want to listen to LOUD ass music, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, but if I do, I'll lose the ability to hear it.

    So I'm currently trying to figure out if this product that straps bass-speakers to your chest might help my obsession. :D

  • A Woman Was Arrested For A DUI. Turns Out She Was Having A Stroke

    Jump

  • I appreciate it more than you could understand; we'll look into it. Doctors have all told her "it is what it is, nothing we can do about it". So finding someone else who knows a little bit about this is a huge relief. I appreciate you.

  • The platform era is ending. Rather than build new Twitters and Facebooks, we can create a stuff-posting system that works better for everybody.

    Jump

  • I mean, this is what the internet started out as; and I think we're slowly coming back around to it.

    Anyone wanna join my webring? I mean...uhh...my fediverse? Or whatever?

  • A Woman Was Arrested For A DUI. Turns Out She Was Having A Stroke

    Jump

  • That's one of the ones we eliminated that we thought may have been producing the reaction. We're unwilling to even begin trying to mess with that again, as she would be a VERY big handful during these events. I don't know if it's an interaction between budesonide, and dicyclomine or what (or if she was even on them at the same time, or separate times, etc) - but there were a handful of medications that we had her stop, and the events stopped. None of her medications should have produced the effects that we had seen. Nevertheless, cops arrested her for DUI, instead of sending her to the emergency room. :[

  • A Woman Was Arrested For A DUI. Turns Out She Was Having A Stroke

    Jump

  • Opposite problem. She's got microscopic colitis and can't stop moving bowels.

    If she takes something that manages to stop it, and return her to normal - some chemical imbalance happens and she starts getting confused easily.

    She took IMODIUM, an over the counter product. Also tried with Dicyclomine, and that sent her into a confused state too. And she's not herself when it happens either (it hasn't happened in a year, as we managed to isolate these particular medicines; so we know kind of what triggers it) -- It's like she's fallen asleep, and another person has taken over. She's lucid, but only barely when it happens. She can argue with you, but she'll go in/out of consciousness. She'll restart conversations over and over as she kind of 'reboots' constantly in this state. It's almost narcoleptic in nature the way she'll just be talking and insta-fall asleep, reboot, and be back awake again.

    Upon arrest they took her blood, and found no illegal substances. (she willingly gave them a sample while under arrest because she knew she hadn't done anything wrong)

    Jump

  • This happened to my wife, sadly. They arrested her for DUI when she was having a medical event. Even blew 0.000 on the breathylizer. We don't drink. For some reason, her bowel medications - every time they'd start working, she'd go wonky. There's some sort of chemical imbalance there, but doctors haven't found out what's going on.

  • Are you worried about microplastics?

    Jump

  • Aren't laundry and dishwasher pods basically gelatin? Which isn't plastic, it's made from animal collagen.

    Edit: I have educated myself, and it's PVA; which is essentially wood-glue. PVA is a biodegradable acetate which dissolves completely in water.

  • I mean...I almost said "since when are facts unpopular opinions?"

    But then I realized...

    He's got a point.....facts...are unpopular opinions nowadays!

  • Former Xbox boss Peter Moore says Gen Z may reject new consoles in favor of smartphones and PCs

  • The last console I owned was a PS5 controller. Hooked up to a PC running YuZu. :D

  • Divide and rule

    Jump

  • Rule of the world. The most violent ape gets to continue his lineage. To continue to pretend that we're more than violent apes is naive.

  • Sounds like a fart

    Jump

  • I wonder if this would have the same effect in terms of loudness protection for the shooter. The big thing argued with suppressors is that they just want them for hearing protection (guns ARE loud after all) -- so I wonder if this would appease some people. Loud guns for the people who want loud guns, and some hearing protection for people who want hearing protection :D (okay okay, I'm being a LITTLE facetious)

  • Yes, heat pumps slash emissions even if powered by a dirty grid | Installing a heat pump now is better for the climate, even on U.S. electricity generated mostly by fossil fuels. Here’s why

    Jump

  • All heat pumps are air conditioners. Not all air conditioners are heat pumps.
