Careful with Zyrtec because if you stop taking it it will cause horrific itching. Not only did it happen to me but the FDA and a bunch of doctors have come out with PSAs about this potentially harmful side effect of going off cetirizine.

I did too at first, you’re not alone.

Yep.

Hello traumatic memory I had been successfully repressing.

Yeah … I’m sorry. It doesn’t get any easier. Over time you get beaten down and don’t have the luxury of putting energy into being angry about it. Like, your rage is on a low simmer on the back burner.

Men are blissfully unaware of what pain they cause and what privilege they enjoy and anytime you try to bring up women’s issues they scream “not all men”. Because yes it isn’t all men but we’re not talking about those men in the first place.

Talking about it here is likely to gain negative attention so I understand you’re venting but they’re not going to listen. It’s not impacting anyone. And it’s dangerous because while Lemmy is safer than reddit, you could still piss off the wrong person who might go after you. I’m sorry. There’s very little justice.

I hear and acknowledge your pain.

I was speaking to the general practice of filtering in response to the echo chamber generalization, not the original post calling out instances. Personally I filter out porn instances because that’s not what I’m here for. The nice thing about the app I use is that I don’t see any posts from those instances but I can choose to see comments because people interacting on the posts I see are generally there for random reasons and are reacting instead of posting their whatever.

oh yeah for sure. Dude they orchestrated a coup and took over Hawaii in the like 1800s.

Plus I think there was fuckery in Latin America even back then.

Yeah CIA likes to overthrow foreign governments, some democratically elected, and destabilize nations. They say they don’t do it anymore but who knows. It’s pretty public knowledge.

Edit: I live in America and it’s like that thing where you can talk shit about your own family.

Not sure how to on desktop but I use Connect and it’s in the menu options of posts. Super easy to block individuals, communities, and instances.

Bruh. It’s not an echo chamber to filter out literal Nazis and other stuff. Ain’t nobody changing their mind from “spirited” internet debate and I don’t need their garbage in my day.

I agree, the filters here are great. I don’t mind the real world stuff but I filter your instance because I don’t want to see furry porn.

(Not trying to be snarky, your kinks are not any of my business, hence the filter. My comment is meant to be genuine.)

Look man, all I know is it makes writing cover letters way faster.

Everything changed. You’re not crazy. If you watch movies made before the 2000s about office culture, including the movie 9 to 5, you can see that the hours included a lunch break. Which was paid.

Yes, those of the older generation had it easier in every way.

They mean your post is poorly written and hard to parse.

Yes. Wigs are sweltering hot, sweaty, and itchy. I’ve only worn synthetic though. I’ve heard human hair wigs are better but not by much.

You can get used to it or suffer through based on how sensitive you are.

Depending on the balding pattern she may tolerate toppers and other hair pieces rather than a full wig, which may be more comfortable.

I just was rejected from 5 jobs in a row. I straight up asked how I could have been a more competitive candidate. I got some specific feedback about software I didn’t know (fair), an answer on a questionnaire that was milquetoast (also fair), but mostly kind things said. They’re not going to drag you but it can be a productive conversation.

“Nowadays” ? Boy let me tell you of the proto-memes in the days of the early internet.

Tl;dr: Everybody be snarky since forever.

It was gross back then too. In the 90s the Coasties would trawl the junior high girls. 25 year old men “dating” 13 year olds. We all knew it was gross as fuck and not okay but small town cops didn’t give a fuck. Hell there was a deputy “dating” a 16 year old too.

It wasn’t looked at differently in the 90s.

A guy in my class knocked up a 14 year old during senior year and we basically all stopped talking to him because fucking ew, dude.

Yeah and in that movie those gals had a paid lunch hour WITHIN that 9-5 timeframe. Can you imagine? Damn that would be nice.

Every place I’ve ever worked most people who worked 8s worked 8-5 with a 1 hour unpaid lunch. In fact, 8-5 is what is considered business hours in my industry.

Lol good catch. It was totally on purpose and not swipe being swipe. Yep.
