Was ich daran so dumm finde ist, dass mich noch nie im Leben irgendein Facharzt ohne Überweisung vom Hausarzt in die Praxis gelassen hat, außer zur expliziten Akutsprechstunde…
Merkwürdige Gegenrealität, aus der solche Vorschläge kommen.
People need what they need to feel safe, and as long as noone was coerced, but agreed willingly to this particular set of STI risk management rules, I don’t see an issue with them. And it seems like your friend’s friend has done so. If they didn’t want to give up sex with your friend, then they shouldn’t have entered a polycule that has rules like that.
I can definitely understand that your friend is hurt, though - they’ve basically been told “My new relationship is more important to me than our existing relationship”, and I think it’s pretty weak sauce from your friend’s friend that they try to put that on the polycule’s rules (like “I don’t want to, they’re making me do it, I have no choice!” bullshit) instead of owning it as a conscious decision they made. I personally would feel most betrayed by that kind of dishonesty.
Yes, that’s totally the only reason I’m doing it 😁
Yes! I was actually aiming for the magpie whose chittering I heard around the area (technically a corvid as well), so this rook coming around was a nice surprise. I’m looking forward to see if it’ll turn up again 😊
Thank you! I was fervently hoping that the one comment on this says exactly what you said, so I wouldn’t have to…
eingelegte gurke, zwiebel, pepperoni o.ä. (gut abgetupft) ist auch noch eine leckere zutat!
Ich liebe Gemüsesandwiches!
Für Biss finde ich dünne Scheiben eines beliebigen gemüses ziemlich gut - im Sommer Gurke, Tomate, gegrillte Zucchini etc., im winter funktionieren auch Ringelbeete, Möhre oder Rübchen. Dazu ein leckerer Hülsenfruchtaufstrich für die Proteine, und vielleicht noch bisschen Salat drauf (Winteroptionen: Feldsalat, frische Grünkohlspitzen, Krautsalat, Postelein), fertig ist mein persönliches Supersandwich! :)
How are they w.r.t. human rights abuse, enshittification or otherwise being an adverse contractual partner?
I’m not entirely sure what level of morality you are aiming for… it’s an electronic device, and contains lithium and other rare substances which are won and manufactured into parts far away and in highly problematic conditions concerning human rights, as is true for most devices you are likely to own. So maybe not that.
Their cloud as well as online in general is optional for basic use (not updates and onleihe, of course), and their servers are based in Germany, so Datenschutz applies.
You own your files, and nobody asks where you got then from. If you buy from their store or do onleihe, of course there is some amount of tracking. They are linked to German book stores, the one from which you buy the device will be put in as default. However, it’s not hard to choose another one from those participating in the program, or buy independently and load the file onto your reader. More details are likely to be found in their terms and conditions.
The maximum size I could find on Geizhals (tolino epos 3) was also only 8" diagonally which is a tad small. I’d prefer something closer to 10".
Yeah, they do not have a device that big. Kobo does, I think, with the Elipsa, but as I said, you’d have to import it and can’t use onleihe there, which made it unsuitable for me. Might not be for you.
I’ve tried finding equivalents to some recommendations in this thread but it appears they’re entirely different devices and some even have Android.
Tolino used to be a part of Rakuten for some time, all the current devices have virtually the same hardware as kobo devices, with customized kobo software, which is based on linux.
for more details, look here: Wikipedia
I just wanted to say, I’ve been very happy with both tolino and kobo, the devices last really long, and I want to pull my hair out anytime I have to deal with an amazon device of any kind instead. Take from that what you will!
A lot of people say kobo, but since you are in germany, you might want to consider tolino as well. they use kobo hardware with slightly customized software, and since you don’t have to import (kobo does not have a market presence for their devices in Germany), they are cheaper.
I went to tolino from kobo because I lost my kobo and wanted to use onleihe, which is not your use case. but if you are considering kobo, in my experience the devices from tolino are very comparable. loading epub on there is easy and works, no DRM-shenanigans, and wakeup to last-read book on opening a magnet folio as well.
one caveat - while UI is identical, I had a slight dip in life quality (problems opening up specific files, longer loading tines), but I think it’s mostly because I downgraded on hardware when I went from kobo libra (like tolino vision) to tolino shine (like kobo clara).
While possibly curmudgeonly, I see your point!
I personally am of the opinion that all of earth and especially all life forms should get the mysticism/wonderment treatment (that includes the photosynthesis in a big way!). I just think for a lot of people (me included) it’s easier with fungi because they’re usually not as neatly explained throughout school, and thus not in the “normal stuff, boring” category.
I hope it’s a kind of gateway wonderment for more nature appreciation in general :)
You speak about Cheddar doing stuff with Gouda you have denied yourself doing with Swiss for Gouda’s sake, and it’s making you vengefully jealous.
My question is - did Cheddar explicitly ask these sacrifices of you, or did you just assume that it would be the right thing to do? edit: nevermind, gotta read better…
I feel like both of you handled some things suboptimally, but this particular aspect sounds like you’ve been doing this to yourself by assuming instead of communicating.
Generally I don’t really understand this situation. Jealousy is not something that just happens to someone and has to be avoided. Jealousy is the flashing warning signal that something is not right (like a relationship that is unstable, or a need that isn’t met), and the starting point of a conversation, not the end of it. But there doesn’t seem to be a conversation around that in your story. Why not?
I will try that with the second batch, that’s an awesome idea!!!
What it looks like when used for drawing!
Naja, ich hab wenig Geld und die Notwendigkeit, jeden Tag 60 km zu pendeln, um überhaupt welches zu haben. Da bleibt Zug oder Auto. Ich hasse Auto fahren und mag Zug/Fahrrad fahren, aber wenn es billiger wäre, könnte ich es mir nicht leisten, die “Luxusvariante” Zug zu nehmen.
Ist aber im Endeffekt egal - dazu können wir uns wieder sprechen, wenn Deutschlandticket 120€+ kostet…
Eh, immer noch billiger als Auto neu anschaffen und unterhalten, was für mich die Alternative wäre… insofern 🤷
Da slrpnk.net und feddit.org (im Moment und ohne absehbares Ende) förderiert sind, könnten User auf beiden (und allen anderen förderierten) Instanzen die community sehen, abonnieren und nutzen, egal auf welcher von beidem sie registriert sind. Reichweitenmäßig macht das also nicht so viel - die Existenz bewerben müsste man so oder so. Neue communities aufzuziehen ist wohl nicht ganz trivial.
Und ja, ich glaube, um eine community auf einer Instanz zu erstellen und zu moderieren muss man auf dieser Instanz User sein - insofern würde sich für dich slrpnk eher anbieten. Allerdings ist es auch nicht verboten, mehrere Accounts auf verschiedenen Instanzen zu haben…
Auf slrpnk könntest du außerdem den Vorteil haben, dass schon einige geneigte deutsche User hierher migriert sind, nachdem die Instanz feddit.de untergegangen ist (und bevor feddit.org auftauchte), also größere Chance auf Interessenten.
Ich finde die Idee gut, bin aber ein notorischer lurker und maximal mal Kommentator, weiß also nicht, ob ich persönlich hilfreich wäre. 😅
Würdest du hier auf der SLRPNK-Instanz eine de-community errichten wollen, quasi als deutschsprachiger Anlaufpunkt, oder z.B. auf feddit.org eine solarpunk-community als “Außenposten” im deutschsprachigen Lemmy?
(Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass du keine ganze Instanz hosten möchtest, das wirkt wie overkill)
Not for me, I literally don’t notice it unless I know it’s happening right now and “listen” for it.
But I’ve been told by other patients that they feel it as light-headedness or dizziness, may feel their heart pounding or like they can’t breath, or like the heart/body skips a step, and if the arrhythmia exacerbates to fibrillation, people lose consciousness very quickly (and may or may not die if untreated). Maybe that translates to your experience, but I don’t know. Generally it’s described more as a continuous feeling for some time, from a couple of seconds up to hours. But it varies a lot. ECG monitoring helps there.
But my specific arrhythmia were also found quite a long time ago, by chance during a standard exam for sports competition fitness as a child. So for pretty much my whole life I’ve been barred from stimulant and basically psychopharmaceutical medication of any kind, since pretty much all of them can cause or exacerbate heart conditions.
Seeing as I totally don’t notice episodes, a scenario where someone didn’t go to that exam and unsuspectingly walks around with that same or similar heart condition completely untreated, and kills themself by self-medicating and slipping into fibrillation is totally possible.
That said, it’s also not a very wide-spread condition, just a rare possibility. Still, please continue to advocate for yourself to have that checked out!
(Edited for an attempt at brevity)
The problem I have with self-medication (of ADHD meds or any other substance) is not so much that people are doing it - as you said, it’s a rough world out there, and you do what you can to survive and function.
But - “Medical supervision of treatment” is (or should be) not just a couple of empty words. All ADHD meds can have serious side effects and contraindications that you don’t necessarily know about beforehand or notice by yourself. Discovering your un-diagnosed heart disease by taking amphetamines without supervision and getting life-threatening arrhythmia can just feel like “I’m getting a bit dizzy for a time after taking the meds, no need for concern, I’ll just take it easy” (I know, because I have arrhythmia, and wouldn’t know it if I hadn’t had an ECG, as I barely notice it happening). Medical supervision should catch that kind of thing, that’s what it’s for.
You and I don’t know who reads this and what kind of conclusion they will draw, and what kind of risk assessment they do beforehand trying it out themselves. Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you have done your full research, and are aware that there is a chance you might harm or, if particularly unlucky, kill yourself doing this (especially if you cannot verify the purity of your medication, it could be cut with anything), and have weighed that against the benefits of being able to do work and function better in everyday life, I have no problem with you self-medicating or talking about doing that.
But if you don’t transparently communicate these risks, and how you came to your conclusion that this is the only way for you, it looks to others like an easy way to forgo the harder, non-medical, not-as-effective but also not-as-dangerous ways to treat yourself, implying that everyone can and should do it this way.
And I understand why some communities want to curb that from the get-go. Some rules are written in blood.
Den Termin kriegt man, ja - aber in der Praxis wurde ich ohne Überweisung in der Hand auch schon zu meinem Termin wieder weggeschickt oder musste unterschreiben, dass ich die Überweisung innerhalb 1 Woche nachreiche und sonst die Behandlungskosten selber trage, auch wenn ich da schon Patient bin und zu Kontrolluntersuchungen (im neuen Quartal) komme.
Finde sehr wild, dass das offenbar nicht überall so ist?
