It’s a study; I imagine they controlled for age and other factors if the article states the study “found”, not “suggested” or similar looser term. It’s not an opinion, but a result of a scientific process. Your dislike for term “gamer fact”, even if it’s a bit cringe, doesn’t change that.

You can buy both gall soap and washing detergent without sodium laureth sulfate, so yes.

Indeed, it helped me a lot when I didn’t know when to start. Searching on the web can yield very old results, and you simply don’t know what is outdated and what’s not.

I hand wash any clothes that require it, and I had to get out blood and such at times. I recommend gall soap for that first, then wash. You should not use generic soap though, as it foams too much. If you have any washing detergent available use just a little and hand wash, then rinse thoroughly.

Det har vært skogbrannfare grunnet tørke i hele landet, inkludert Vestlandet. Det vil nok regne snart da, om det ikke gjør det allerede.

It’s actually been dry, especially in Mid-Norway.

Faced with such terrible truth many people will conclude that we’re fucked anyway, so they might as well ignore it and go on as if nothing happened. Which makes me even sadder.

Neat! The zero waste option I chose was the menstrual cup, very happy with mine.

Yeah, so you should ask your doctor instead of just doing it.

That’s my point, ask your doctor. I’m not saying you can’t skip, but you shouldn’t just because some random person said so.

I wouldn’t advise people to skip their medicine just because they don’t feel there are negative effects, it’s dangerous.

I wouldn’t consider exclusively using Lemmy for social media “hardcore”. Let’s be real, people don’t use social media because the content is important. I use Lemmy when I need a break and such, see some memes, read an interesting article someone posted. And Reddit sometimes turns up when I search for opinions on products, solutions for maintaining my home, stuff like that. Usually just useful, old posts. I keep in contact with people I actually know through private chats, mostly Signal. What else do you need?

In addition to what have been said in other comments, it’s useful to track your period for any serious irregularities. Your period can tell a lot about the state of your body, and those can be a sign of illness and such. For example, missed periods are very common in eating disorders; it might be a wake up call in many cases.

Hey, that’s the metaplot of the movie!

As the other commenter said, the bottles actually get recycled; if they weren’t they wouldn’t have a system where they pay for the return. And it doesn’t make sense to count it as “pay”, as in compare to a normal job pay, cause it’s not. Dude is walking around and cleaning the environment, gets free PS5 out of it.

Just a simple example I googled:

• Sit in a quiet, comfortable place.
• Set a short time limit if you’re a beginner (e.g., 5–10 minutes).
• Focus on your breath and notice bodily sensations.
• Gently return your focus to your breath when distractions occur.

With body sensations, you can focus on the taste in your mouth for a minute, then switch to sounds you hear, how your fingertips feel etc. I usually close my eyes to better focus on each sensation. Just relax and gently observe what you experience right now.

I agree 100%. It’s a shame, because pretty much everyone would benefit from just trying to meditate once in a while.

These are some of the most common problems people seek therapy for, and there are several methods therapists teach to address these, such as meditation and mindfulness. It takes practice, but they have a lot of potential to help with intrusive, snowballing thoughts. You can practice anytime and mostly anywhere, but doing it is the hard part.

What’s your location? I usually buy from ExtraOptical, happy with them.

No, then you are the Toronto airport. Which the song title refers to.
