  • Coworker here in US had some strange neurological issues(vertigo among other stuff) and has had to wait months between visits to see a specialist. He’s had to WFH several times because driving is dangerous. Of course along with the waits he also is spending thousands on the visit, iirc he almost hit his ~$6000 out of pocket max this year.



  • I don’t vape or smoke (I have used a few THC carts from time to time, but I usually just take half an edible, and the cart is used maybe once a month if that often), but I still will criticize broad generalizations from limited studies, especially not peer reviewed.

    I do agree that their findings seem to be more about regulation than vaping itself, and I’m happy I don’t vape, but I’m not going to act like I can just confidently tell every person I know the science has proven their habit is worse than smoking.


  • For most of my scrolling and feed I use lemmy. I have discord for friends and workmates. Reddit I never comment, scroll, or even login to, but some extremely specific searches will still have some usable info on Reddit, especially for work (IT, mostly non Linux environments) or for very niche subjects.

    I don’t use other forms of social media, unless you count random youtube videos. Though I don’t go through that using the algorithm much either, unless it recommends videos from the same 8 or so creators I’ll let it, or it’s short animal videos.
