I really do wonder if the first thought to cross my mind after witnessing the beginning of an irl avengers-level threat will be "wellp at least I don't have to go into work".

I'm just guessing here, but I imagine it's for "marketing purposes". People sometimes (perhaps often) move around without changing their phone number, so area code alone wouldn't be enough to pinpoint where you live.
Knowing where you live probably helps with micro-targeting ads.

I'd say those aren't my pronouns, but how would you know whether or not to believe me?

FEMA has a webpage for catalogging and responding to rumors about the hurricane response, though I don't see any as extreme as the ones mentioned in this thread: https://www.fema.gov/disaster/recover/rumor/hurricane-rumor-response
I'm skeptical of how much this will help after seeing how misinformation spread during COVID, but at least they're trying.

Do we know what the percentage is after subtracting out things derived from fossil fuels? I looked at the article and tried to do the math, but it seems like the stats are bundled together.

I just had a slice with this kind of cheese/sauce coverage from a late-night pizza joint. Sure, they drenched the crust in garlic butter, but I wanted pizza, not a breadstick.

Red Bull commercials confused me so much in my younger years. Obviously it can't make you fly, so what does it do?
Even into my adult years, I've found myself avoiding energy drinks, not just because they usually taste awful, but also because they trigger this subconscious feeling that they're trying to scam me.

Ah yes, that thing that sites mention on those annoying popups before making us sign away our privacy anyway.

Just logged in, just found it, just opted out. Thanks for the heads-up OP.
But fucking fuck. Can we put a stop to this? Legally? We could call it sometime like... The National Opt-out Policy Elimination (NOPE) Act or something.

I guess cuz it sounds enough like the much more common saying "as the crow flies".
I have also never heard it used to describe direction, only distance.

I hate to post because I have loved and trusted Wikipedia for years, but the fact that there are folks out there who equally trust what AI tools generate just baffles me.
I've been donating to the news site Vox for a while now, and all their content has so far been free. I felt kinda bad about blocking the ads on their site and fast-forwarding through all the ad breaks in their podcasts. So in the spirit of actually supporting something I like, I started chipping in a few bucks a month. But recently, they've started putting some of their articles behind a paywall. Since I was already donating, I automatically have access. But for some reason, I feel like I don't wanna pay anymore. It's not like it costs me more, but there's just something about dontating to a free site vs paying for exclusive content that doesn't feel the same. Maybe cuz I'm not a fan of paywalls in general, so I don't want to support companies that implement them. Does that make sense? What would you do? And if you're not a fan of Vox, maybe think of some other free service/content, like videos from a streamer or a software project or something.
i mean would you rather unlock double jumps irl or have all of peach's costumes
I'm a trans woman, and I've been experiencing pretty annoying levels of nausea recently -- like, daily, for a few months. It's not too disruptive, but I get hungry really sporadically, and I spend the rest of the time feeling vaguely queasy. I'm wondering if it's at all related to the drug cocktail I'm on. I've been on HRT for about 2 years now. I take estradiol (4 mg/day orally) and spironolactone (100 mg/day). I get my hormone levels checked regularly at a clinic. The spiro used to be 50 mg/day, but I had to up the dose after my testosterone levels started creeping back up several months ago. The T uptick seemingly coincided with when I started taking bupropion for depression. My T levels are back in range, and I've since switched out the bupropion for lamotrigine (a mood stabilizer). But now I have all this nausea. Despite what I've described, my HRT prescriber and my psychiatrist both insist that this drug combination shouldn't be causing nausea, nor the jump in T levels. So, it's a mystery, and quite a frustrating one. I feel like I'm a big bag of pills that's been shaken up until it's good and dizzy. Not sure if anyone can relate to this -- how many depressed trans women are there out there, anyway? But if you have any advice, I'm all ears.
though i am struggling with image uploads for some reason, so i guess i do get to participate in the chaos after all
For the past day or so, I've been seeing a bunch of empty space in between posts. All the posts are there, but I have to scroll for a while to see them all. It also happens on comment threads. I'm using Firefox 127.0.2 on Android 14. It also happens when I request the desktop site view. It doesn't happen on my actual desktop, nor does it happen for other instances like lemmy.world. Is this a known issue? Any fixes? Edit: Within hours of posting, pages are loading normally again.
Culinary and/or philosophical advice welcome
