I ignore most memes. Then I accidentally see one like this. It genuinely made me laugh out loud. 🤣

Good read. Incredible woman, postpartum or not. And the fact that breastfeeding requires 300 to 500 calories a day, she was burning much needed calories during her race to keep producing. 🥇

This website’s use of stock images and gifs were aggravating. The actual case study was worth the read, but only covers a single pair of individuals: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886922001477

It’s certainly interesting. I’m particularly curious about the effects of the multiple confusions:

US had three concussions as an adult, caused by car accidents and from falling on ice. The most recent and severe incident occurred in January 2018, resulting in classic symptoms of light sensitivity and concentration difficulty. US feels she is a “different person,” with increased anger and anxiety. She requires additional time to process information in some problem-solving situations, although she has always seen herself as a poor test taker.

Some of the conclusions seemed a stretch for a single sample. I’m much more curious about more extensive studies with many more subjects.

As you can see, Trump is saving the United States.

😏

I tell her to be nice and to love her stuffies, but even the ones that are designed to be super tough somehow always manage to offend her and get their guts pulled out.

Stuffies do not survive long when my dog gets them…

Sportsball is meh, but Malala is incredible. I will always be a fan of hers. Thanks for the share. 💜

Is Blue sky activity pub connected so that we can follow people from Mastodon? I don’t really follow people (and as a result don’t use Mastodon much), but I’d love to follow him!

/me hangs head in shame

Thanks for the parenthetical. I think all clickbait titles should have such qualifiers. It really helps clarify exactly what the article is about.

I’m not sure your comment accurately or fairly represents things.

Narcissism is genuine psychological disorder. Your comment doesn’t explain how he would be one of “the most narcissistic people.”

However, you genuinely made me curious about how many people have been contributing and by how much, so I looked it up on GitHub as you mentioned. There have been 159 contributors. The second most being 210 commits. Dan is the number one contributor at over 10,000 commits!

I can’t know his motivations, only what he shares publicly. I don’t follow PixelFed development closely. I don’t know why he’s trying to do so much at once. And I honestly thought Sup was short for Whatsup.

What I do know is what it’s like to slave for thousands of hours, writing millions of lines of code, trying to manage multiple projects with numerous hands in it, ridiculous deadlines, and with customers and users quick to criticize without truly understanding everything entailed in such projects.

Perhaps I’m honestly ignorant and he really is someone to loath. So far though, PixelFed has been a gem that connects me with a lot of beauty. I personally know loathsome humans. There’s plenty more in the news daily.

This Forbes article though? It’s doing something really good for the Fediverse. It’s highlighting the need for funding projects like these. And, yeah, it mentions Dan because he’s the one who got these projects of the ground and has done nearly all the bleeding and sweating for it.

I get the concerns and fears, but I’m not sure there is reason think we’re there yet.

I guess I’m just grateful.

Purple stuff is Jesus juice.

I want that purple stuff.

But the Apollo program was fake propaganda!

Well, the clone was based on their genetic material. Enhanced musculature, green skin, and yellow cat-like eyes with enhanced vision, and nanobot-enhanced artificial blood.

Not the same, obviously, but a step closer towards something similar.

Old Man’s War coming to fruition.

Why use the grammatical quantifier “all”?

Clearly, politicians enrich themselves in a variety of ways. Clearly, many of them use their positions of power to abuse that. And still clearly, there are examples of politicians that truly are working to change things for the better. Some of those persons sacrifice much and lose out on many opportunities.

There is no single answer for “all” politicians, but there is plenty of evidence to say that many do it to enrich themselves while others do it to enrich their communities as best they can.

In the end though, politics tends to change people and often not for the better…

What country are you in? What kind of job are you applying for? What are the drug laws in your area and/or nation? What industry are the jobs within? Many industries are legally bound to drug test. Does the company do this to prevent legal liability for some reason? Perhaps company reputation, dependability, and/or cost management are important factors for them . Etc etc.

In short, depending on the area, drug testing is pretty normal.

As for social media, always assume that your employer, co-workers, and anyone in your life will look up your social media and use it as a basis for understanding and assessing you. If you’re concerned about what people will think, then privatize and/or anonymize your social media use.

Turns out you can’t read this story without crying either. 🥹💜
