Yeah, I got all those plus a bunch of furry stuff and all kinds of kink accounts. Blueskys block and filters are really good though and it took me all of 30 mins of marking posts as "show me less of this" and blocking obvious bots. Haven't had an issue since, really.

They are really short on shortages this year.

Schwarzman’s pandemic splurge came just as his firm decided to double down on scooping up rental housing. During the housing crash of the Great Recession, Blackstone had snapped up underwater homes for cheap and eventually made a fortune. The Covid collapse offered Blackstone another bite at the apple. In 2021 and 2022, it bought up 200,000 new units of rental housing at bargain-basement interest rates, adding to a portfolio of more than 150,000 rentals and making Blackstone the nation’s biggest corporate landlord... and its rental portfolio has seen a healthy return of about $11 billion over the last decade, hiking rent on some of its properties by nearly 80 percent.

Fuck all billionaires but seriously fuck this guy.

I was watching a stream on YouTube last night (Ryan Hall) of the storm coverage. I had to just close the chat entirely because the amount of ridiculous statements and questions people were posting was legitimately starting to upset me. Some notable ones i remember "I hear theyre sending this storm to africa after florida". "this is the democrats taking out pockets of trump supporters". "Calling this a 'hurricane' is a way for 'them' to funnel 'dark money' into the state. its not actually a hurricane so it doesn't qualify for federal money".

It was maddening to read and the only way I was able to not lose more faith in humanity is just telling myself they were all disinfo bots. Anyways, hopefully those of you who were affected by the storm are doing ok. Remember your neighbors, people. We're all in this together.

The original has been on my whishlist since it came out and i just never got around to picking it up. I might have to just splurge on the remaster instead.

Im taking doctor prescribed D2 and B12 along with Folic acid. My blood work always shows those as being low so maybe there is something to this. Ill have to bring it up to my doc next time, thanks!

Im hearing that meds only sorta help quite a bit in this thread. It sucks that they aren't more effective for people, but it does make me feel better about my situation. Thanks for your input!

Thanks for your thoughts on this! Ill be honest, I don't eat the healthiest and that has been something my doctors have brought up. Trying to figure out what is triggering me sounds daunting, but I will most likely have to do this at some point. Why do our bodies have to be so dumb sometimes? lol

I keep holding out hope that there will be some kind of magic bullet cure, but the more I hear from people, the more I'm starting to think Ive just got normal, bad allergies. Thanks for the reply! The (gross) comment you made, is something ive dealt with a few times this year, so that makes me feel better...in a gross kind of way, lol.

I have noticed that the first week or two that im on a new med, It feels like its working better. Maybe there is something going on where your body gets used to the medicine its on, and switching helps? IDK, I'll have to ask my Doctor next time. TY!

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

That's a great analogy. It really puts things into perspective that its a combo of many things, not just a couple. Ive stopped all meds a few times since this started and i felt like I was gonna die, so they are for sure helping to some degree. Thanks for your insight!

 

So this might be a weird one because I can just look this up anywhere, but Ive been dealing with some vexing medical problems the past year and I just want to see how allergies affect others. Maybe hearing from regular people instead of doctors will ease my mind a bit. A little back-story on my issue (though I'm not looking for a diagnosis), almost exactly a year ago I developed sever constant chronic rhino-sinusitis. I am constantly having to clear my throat and snort/sniffle. Its non stop every 30 seconds or so and no matter what combo of meds I take for allergies, nothing really helps. I have never had allergies before (that i know of) and all of a sudden, after well over 40 years on this earth, I'm allergic to everything. And I do have allergies. According to the test I took a few months ago, I tested positive for 45 out of 50 allergens they tested for. To make a long story short, every doctor I go to says its allergies. Says to get allergy shots and keep taking sprays and pills everyday etc. Nothing brings me any relief. I'm on the strongest sprays that are killing my sinuses and multiple 24hr allergy pills (Doctor ordered), and its almost like I'm not taking anything. So my questions to you wonderful people:

  • What do allergies feel like for you?
  • Are they constant or do you have flareups?
  • Do meds help you significantly?
  • Am I just being a big baby and how I feel is just what allergies feel like?

I know this is subjective and everyone will have different answers and that's fine. Honestly, I don't really have anyone to bounce ideas off of and talk about this, so this is as much a way for me to scream into the void and vent, as it is to gather info. Again, I'm not looking for a diagnosis, just your personal anecdotes so I can put my own situation into perspective. Love all of you peeps, thanks in advance for any replies!

Edit- Mods, I realize this kinda flirts with rule 3, please feel free to remove it if you so deem.

 

I recently set up a LLM to run locally on my desktop. Now that the novelty of setting it up and playing with different settings has worn off, I'm struggling to come up with actual uses for it. What do you use it for when not doing work stuff?

 

Mod removed my first post because "AI 'art' is for Borgs". So here is a real life version!

 

When I'm scrolling through my main subscribed feeds or all, Id like to be able to hide posts Ive read/voted on so I don't see the same posts for days at a time, but still be able to visit an instance directly and see all posts made there. In smaller communities, hiding read posts can turn that instance into a ghost town. Its also nice to go back and read new comments on posts your interested in and hiding read posts makes that difficult. Right now it seems like its hide everything everywhere or not and no in between.

Edit- after creating this post I went to view my profile and didn't see it there. Turns out hiding read posts, also hides your own posts? Am I missing something here?
