Not to mention the fact that many people don’t know what FOSS means, given that it’s not used widely outside programmer circles and nobody ever defines the term.

I’m still hoping we get more of the general population on lemmy to help it grow, rather than only be filled with programmers.

Not only does the love triangle not make sense, but it really only serves to erode the significance of friendship of Legolas and Gimli. They were supposed to be first friendship between an Elf and dwarf in a long time

The right has always been very organized. The church helps keep then organized. Fox News keeps them organized as they are all fed the same crap. Politically, the Tea Party helped organize the neonazis and neoconfederates, giving them a louder voice and recruited more of the like. Then the Tea Party rejoined the Republican party shoving it much further to the right. Around that time, they also figured out social media, which gave them an even louder voice.

When Obama was in office, the news wasn’t as focused on them, so people that were living in Blue states weren’t as aware. In the south, it was still a battlefield as you lived next to people with these beliefs.

It’s their level of organization that has made the Republicans such a force to deal with. Before social media, the fringe groups stayed on the fringe of society and weren’t given a voice through various forms of media. Since social media, they have a much stronger voice and we have discovered how easy it is for people to be manipulated, like with the Jade Helm scare in TX. If you don’t remember this, there was a social media scare going around that Obama was going to take over TX and imprison those who didn’t vote for him. The posts claimed that there were a bunch of Walmarts that had been emptied and were going to be used as makeshift prisons. The posts also claimed that Obama was hiding his plan from the public by claiming it was a training exercise named Jade Helm. So effective was the scare, that Greg Abbot (who still remains governor of TX) ordered the TX National Guard to watch the US army perform its training to prevent the army from arresting civilians. In reality, the US army was just performing practice exercises around Fort Hood, which is a little north of Austin. Years later, it was revealed that the scare was the work of a Russian troll farm experimenting with social media to see how disruptive they could be.

That’s interesting, my labels and inbox, outbox etc are all underneath those

Interesting, I’ve seen that on desktop and mobile app for nearly a decade.

Gmail sorts email by tab. Click the triple lines and you’ll see Primary, Promotions, and Social. Basically Gmail didn’t like the word spam, so they named the folder promotions.

I think it’s talking about emails in the Promotions tab with the word “ad” in a box at the beginning of the subject line.

“It’s colder than Christmas”. For reference I live in TX, so it doesn’t take much for it to be colder than Christmas (it’s not uncommon for Christmas to be in the 80s F).

Where did it release as an app? On the Google Play Store, searching “Voyager” gives a bitcoin app and navigation app.

Closed, it keeps the A/C in and other house noises out. It’s also safer in the event of a fire or if someone breaks in.

I hope that some of my suggestions help! Hang in there!

I like the Lavender essential oil that I bought from Whole Foods the most, as far as smell. It’s not going to knock out the migraine but it does help take the edge off.

I’ve also used peppermint before and although it didn’t help me quite as much, it has helped other people I know. The peppermint is much stronger than Lavender, so I only rub a drop of peppermint oil on the back of my neck. One time, I put peppermint on my temples and it was so overwhelming that it made my eyes water.

Oh, I forgot! One doctor also gave me a script to have IV magnesium and IV medication to help with migraines. It was very helpful if you can get a script and have somewhere nearby that you can go.

Taking a hot or cold shower, depending upon which temperature helps.

A little Lavender essential oil on the temples or back of the neck can help slightly.

I find magnesium glycinate to be helpful as well and may help yours if tension is a trigger for you.

The only medication that I’ve really found helpful is sumatriptan. It’s more helpful stopping a migraine just as symptoms start, but can still help once a migraine develops.

A massage gun can help knock out some tension around your shoulders, as well as breathing exercises. Here’s one that I find helpful. Sit up straight and tall (if you’re able) and take deep tummy breaths let your tummy relax and allow the breath to go down there instead of just to your chest. After a couple breaths, feel your diaphragm (located just below your rib cage) lower as your lungs expand and raise up as you exhale, then in the next few breaths notice your neck slowly expand and contract with each breath, then turn your attention to your sinuses slightly expand and contract, and finally for the last few breaths feel the top of your head raise slightly with each breath. This should help provide a sense of calm, I like to picture that calm as either a serene place in nature or you can think of it as light. Then notice a spot on your body holding tension and lightly press it with a finger. Then imagine that same serene natural location or light entering that tense spot and take a few deep breaths. With enough mental focus putting that peaceful place into the ball of tension, it will release.

That breathing exercise doesn’t immediately knock out a migraine always for me, but makes them a lot more bearable and can shorten the length of the migraine.

A roommate of mine suggested taking a prebiotic called acidophilus for nauseau and seemed to help with that symptom.

If light or screens are a trigger for you, I have found that glasses lenses with FL-41 tint to be helpful. You can find some at theraspecs and they offer both prescription and non-prescription glasses and sunglasses.

Academically, make sure to start off each semester well. It’s much less stressful to have some As and Bs at the beginning in case something comes up or you bomb a test, rather than starting with an F and attempting to climb out of it.

Socially, be fun and get to know people but don’t be a drunk asshole. Your peers may interview you for a job one day and it would be bad if they remembered you as a drunk asshole.

Financially, start off in community College. You can still find some that are only $1-2K for tuition and books per semester. It’s so much cheaper than starting at a 4 year university. Also check the pricing for living somewhere near the campus vs the dorms. At my university, the dorms were about 2.5 times more expensive than living with a roommate 5-10 minutes away.

Explore a bunch of different paths by taking different electives. Also don’t put all your elective classes in the first 2 years, life will be much easier in your last year of college if you only have a couple high level classes and a PE class or an elective class that you can enjoy and relax with. Finally, don’t be afraid to change your major.

I’ll have to look into that! Thanks!

Once I get my next phone, I’ll miss the headphones jack.

Battery life, even with massive batteries, modern phones only last a day while older phones could last up to a week between charges.
