Yup. My wife has a family history of lupus, has kidney issues, had a serious b12 deficiency, and pretty much every other symptom of lupus, but a negative ANA panel, so it can’t be lupus (a negative ANA doesn’t rule it out completely).

When she went in because she was having neuropathic pain, which is very common in lupus and b12 deficiencies, she was told it was probably from her covid vaccine.

What sucks the most is I, a 6’3 male, actually gets taken seriously by the same doctors. It’s bad enough that I have to go with her to appointments so there’s a chance of her being taken seriously.

Or a doctor that dismisses all of your symptoms because they can’t be fucked to put effort into a diagnosis.

It doesn’t seem to, their entire platform is based on wanting everyone who isn’t a rich white male to suffer.

At this point, if you vote conservative, you’re automatically a bad person.

I don’t absolutely hate it, but I’m 6’3", so fully stretching my legs out on a plane is always just a pipe dream.

I’m sure they’d make them fit only average size people, unfortunately.

I’m not sure why people are expecting Microsoft to act altruistically in this merger. They’re a publicly traded company that exists to create profit for their shareholders, and they’re not going to do a single thing that won’t increase their profits.

Mergers like this are always bad for the consumer, and the FTC is betraying the citizens by letting it happen.

My wife’s uncle did this for his 90 year old mother. He just put Solitaire and a link to her email on the desktop and she was good to go.

Lol

MySpace actually just reverted back to it’s intended purpose which is for bands to post their stuff.

What? Corrosion is the surface oxidizing, not the entire thing dissolving.

Yes, it’s called running a business. Spending money on advertising is a requirement if you want to start one.

It doesn’t take much money if your work is good, though. My wife is a tattoo artist and she built up her following in just 1 year to the point where she’s booked out 2 months, and she only promoted posts for $20 or so here and there.

Self promotion isn’t an easy thing to do, so I’d suggest reading some how-to articles about how to grow your Instagram following. It requires a lot of work, to the point where managing your social media is a very large part of the job.

At the beginning my wife spent about 75% of her time on social media, while the other apprentice didn’t. Now the other apprentice struggles to have more than a few appointments a week.

It’s not, though. If anything that makes it easier to gain a following.

That’s really not true at all. For many artists social media is the only or best way to gather a following and advertise their products.

It takes a ton of hard work to build that following since the art market is heavily saturated, especially post-covid, but social media is the best tool for the job.

OP just doesn’t know what they’re doing and thinks it’s a walled garden.

Imo slack is just a garbage product to start with. The chat grouping is not intuitive, the notification audio alerts are subtle and easy to miss with no way of changing the tone, and a large chunk of the time I don’t receive any notification of any new messages, and the new message won’t appear in chat unless I close and reopen the chat.

And I’m definitely not the only one at my job with these issues.

It’s a pretty solid OS now.

You should 100% not be using a system that doesn’t receive security updates.

It’s the internet, so I’m not sure why anyone would be surprised.

Their first mistake was forgetting the 0th Law of Robotics.

You’re wrong about the soil nutrient content in deserts. Or at least it’s not a blanket statement like that since some deserts are essential in providing soil nutrients to other parts of the world through wind.

I did a clean install of Windows last week. It took 20 minutes start to finish, including reinstalling all my software manually.

To do a clean install of Windows you just have to click the mouse a few times. To do a clean install of Linux you have to do things no average user is reasonably going to do.

If you’re going to argue the superiority of an operating system, you should at least know what you’re talking about instead of parroting ‘hur dur windows bad.’

2000ME would like to have a word with you.
