I have heard the biggest risk of the surgery is basically “permanent” dry eyes. Might not sound like a big deal but to me it sounds like torture.

Is this a new copypasta?

I see this propagated on the internet, but I get curious on whether or not it’s actually true or something that someone made up and got telephoned around the world.

What’s the relation of this gif in your post to the static photo? It’s this an ad in the Duolingo app or something? It’s hard to make the connection to that. And this part of the gif is small and in the corner. All you need next time is a bit more of a description!

I clicked on the post instead of scrolling by and I am still incredibly confused.

Sadly mine doesn’t seem to work properly. Nothing in that region does.

Me irl.

Sad thing is that having a spouse doesn’t at all stop a hell of a lot of people. To be clear, I’m not saying this is limited to men…all genders do this. I’ve personally never understood why. If you don’t want to be with your significant other, break up with them. It’s a zillion times worse to betray their trust and intimacy and then break up anyway when they find out.

Right…the idea isn’t to make it foolproof, it’s just to make a barrier. People generally go for easier targets over ones with a small barrier. If you have two bikes next to each other in public, one with a bike lock and one with no lock at all, the casual thief is way more likely to steal the one without a lock. Bike locks can easily be broken, but they serve as a deterrent.

I deliberately use the print as image feature if I don’t want someone to be able to select text or search the document (like if I’m sending something with sensitive info as an attachment to an email). Most of the time, I have that option disabled so the document can be searchable and text can be copied from it.

It’s difficult, man. It will probably make you happier if you could just forget about it, but brains don’t work that way. Plus some people just seem to be way better at it than others.

A mildly traumatic thing happened in my workplace. I have plenty of functional days, but other days things return to my brain without my inviting them and it makes it more difficult to function. Sometimes I get transported back into time like I’m there.

One thing I read about is the concept of mental “time traveling”. When we remember these things, it’s like we are literally back in that very moment. But that is not what is happening right at this very moment. You are “safe”. You are not back in time being harmed right now.

Is it wise to not trust her anymore if she has proven herself to be untrustworthy? Absolutely.

But in order to free yourself better, you have to first notice that you are time traveling. Then look at things in your environment. Not her, but try to take in all of the sensory input around you. Remind yourself that you are here, not there. Recognize that the only time that exists is right now. Even one second in the past no longer exists and even one second in the future doesn’t exist yet. Work with what is around you now.

Idk if that is at all helpful, just something that I have read about lately. Way fucking easier said than done because I still struggle.

Wishing you well.

I thought this was a Mickey7 post until I read the username.

I don’t have an office job, so it’s all good haha. I work in the medical field and have not needed to touch anything like that in years lol.

If it’s that simple for people to participate, that sounds good. I’m glad my era of group projects is over, at least! No more classroom work for me!

Haha I’m really glad I missed out on that sort of era tbh. Sounds like a bit of a nightmare.

While I appreciate you providing alternatives, the fact of the matter is that most of your random classmates are unlikely to be interested in using or figuring out how to use some sort of obscure program/website.

Yeah this was it for me. Best app ever…no bullshit ads or anything…and I was really upset that Reddit forcefully killed it for money. However, I did find that the app Red Reader is allowed to exist because of its accessibility features for the visually impaired. It’s a good browsing experience…simple and no ads or BS.

I still do browse Reddit because a lot of the communities I visit on there either don’t exist on Lemmy or are too underpopulated for much of any content. Please don’t tell me to just “post more content” myself. The point is I often don’t have much content for the communities I visit. Like it or not, a community with 10 active members just isn’t enough to have much to participate with, even if I am the one posting most of the content. For example, there is a tattoo community I stumbled across on Lemmy. But I only have so many tattoos. So obviously I cannot fill the page with endless more content.

Call me a shill, but that’s why I always used Google Docs when I was in school. Things are instantly saved and I can easily access them on other devices. It was also always how we collaborated on group projects with the ability of multiple people to simultaneously edit power points in a collaborative project.

I don’t have use for word processing anymore, but I used Google Docs from like 2012-2020.

Definitely helped a ton because my laptop in grad school would randomly blue screen a lot for no discernible reason. Did that when it was new too and Dell support was no help. I have a suspicion that the processor was actually faulty on a hardware level straight from the factory…as it would have problems both in Windows AND Linux that were “fixed” by dramatically underclocking the CPU. All hardware stress tests would always pass. :/

Anyway, sorry for the random tangent lol.

Good luck scooping up a motherfucking house centipede. They move at like five billion miles per hour.

Well…I am only one person, but if it adds to anything, I have literally never cared. Not when I first got internet as a pre teen and not now.

No prob lol. Hope that satisfied whatever hypothesis you had!!
