    My own mother was just talking about it being "monsoon season" in the SW united states because they're getting record breaking amounts of rainfall this year. The statement was in response to my grampa, her dad, saying how unusual it is for them to be getting that amount of rainfall.

    I don't even know where she got monsoon season from, dude. You can find all sorts of nonsense on the internet. If we need a campaign, we need a better campaign against that stuff, not some new catch phrase that you'd only know what it means if you're "in the know"

    I tried to be all privacy concerned with these things and Ive found myself locked out of multiple platforms because of it, so ymmv.

    My old aol email literally told me I have to pay them to unlock my account, theres no way to recover an account when you’ve lost the 2fa to it, and so that account and every website depending on it is locked forever unless I wanna give them my birth cert and pay them.

    Every other thing I used that 2fa for was easily recoverable, but that was my burner email so I kept it separate from the rest of my accounts.

    Crazy right? My dr swore I was gluten intolerant cause it runs in the family and I was having issues, turns out the milk in my coffee was making me sick enough to randomly lose weight.

    I kept tryna tell him really bread makes it better but him and every single other dr Ive ever seen is like no thats impossible, everyone reacts to gluten, celiac is just an autoimmune disease where the initial reaction to gluten spawns secondary reactions to your own intestinal cells.

    I swear bread makes it better tho. Im sure years from now they’ll find some gut bacteria reason for it.

    I tried turning off everything I could find, in the end I just downloaded Chromium.

    I really spent like 20 mins trying to troubleshoot this thing, I wish Firefox had one single button for turning off all privacy stuff when you need to, something that would turn it off just for the session and then reset on re-launch.

    also, semi-related, I can't log in on LinkedIn and I can't change my password on Facebook because since my tracking is disabled "they can't prove it's me" I'm actually totally locked out of Linkedin since this update, cause I lost access to the email associated with it ages ago and you can't change your email on your account without having access to the one that's already on there.

    My county's DMV website, same county's unemployment website, and then I think Ticketmaster, but I had issues with every single concert ticket reseller website that day it could have been any of them.

    It tends to be only websites for which I have no choice but to use.

    I find it's mostly government websites, and then occasionally places like Ticketmaster/etc (because it's impossible to get tickets from anywhere other than a reseller)

    I would love to just avoid websites that don't support my browser, but Chromium is the only way I can pay my vehicle taxes.

    All the developers I know use Chrome to develop on, and we all can see that it’s a total resource hog. Memory leaks everywhere.

    Firefox could market themselves as a lean performance browser instead of adding a ton of useless things most people dont even know how to use like a vpn and that probably would have worked.

    Its been a long sad road seeing the only browser alternative suffer and fail, I got into an argument with another dev maybe 10 years ago now because our app didnt work at all on firefox and they refused to fix it because no one uses firefox. Many websites are like this. Its to the point where I had to download Chromium just to use it on some websites where firefox doesnt work.

    Interesting, if I’m struggling, things like apples applesauce carrots all make it worse. Bread actually makes it better, gluten and all, and greens like lettuce help.

    I honestly wish that every single company facing this issue of “we were once really big and now we’ve lost most of our customers” would take a good long hard look at what Runescape/Jagex is doing with OldSchool RuneScape.

    In multiple interviews they have recognized that they’ve only just begun to tap their previous market and literally all they have to do is cater to the people who already play or have ever played Runescape.

    All Firefox needs to do is ask itself why people moved to Chrome (because at the time Firefox had become slow, buggy, plugin hell) fix that, and tell everyone you’ve fixed it. Privacy is a bonus. Chrome has become a slow buggy plugin hell with no privacy, Firefox is already better, just tell people.

    I had to learn balance from a historical perspective, my family growing up also had really terrible food habits and so I didn’t learn how to cook until my late 20s.

    This is my mental picture for how it works:

    In times of food scarcity, your body needs three major categories:

    Protein and minerals: animal based or beans/lentils/tofu
    Fiber and vitamins: plant based
    Calories: carbs and spices

    You want your meal to be equal parts protein and fiber, then to up the calories add carbs as needed. For a cheap meal, it’ll be mostly carbs like a lot of mexican/asian/indian dishes. For an expensive meal it’ll be basically a salad like a lot of mediterranean dishes. If you’re more comfortable with American/western dishes, you have equal parts all 3 categories, neatly separated on a plate.

    Oh yeah absolutely agree with all of this, I forgot, dropping processed foods is one of the things I did to maintain my weight as an adult. I just don’t even buy that stuff, don’t keep it in the house. Some people I know took it a step further and they stopped going to big name grocery stores because 80% of those stores is just individually packaged crap. It helps me to mentally view it as the garbage that it is.

    The other is I learned to cook. So much easier to portion your meals when it’s something you made at home and can freeze leftovers of.

    Third, I don’t eat snacks at all. I either eat a meal or I don’t eat. If I’m hungry, I need a meal, and if it’s food noise then I don’t need a meal.
