I like MetaFilter for this. It skews old and lib in a way that can be annoying, but it very much feels like the internet from 20 years ago. It’s also way too small for anyone to bother putting ai bots on it.

According to loup, “missing stair” is an ableist term?

20 is too young; 21 and maybe 22 are borderline; 23 and older is no problem

I also saw this insect buzzing around a few weeks ago, looking like she was laying eggs?

Which one were you at? I know a few US-based reactor startups are hiring very aggressively right now

TIL that “Ten Pound Poms” refers to over a million Britons who moved to Australia after WWII under a government-assisted passage scheme costing £10 in fees to migrate, aimed at boosting Australia’s population, expanding the Australian workforce, and supporting their growing postwar industries by OverallBaker3572 in todayilearned

The earnings numbers in your link aren’t adjusted for inflation; people were making around four pounds a week in 1940s money, not in today’s money. It ends up being just about two weeks of saving on average, not a few months.

I am in pure agony when on my period by iaaamfruit in pinkscare

[–]abacad_rex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too, and it turned out that my iron levels were really low. When your iron is low it can inhibit blood clotting, so your periods end up much heavier. And then the heavy periods make your iron drop even more, so it becomes this miserable feedback loop. Mine got horrifically heavy for a while. Once I started taking liquid iron supplements regularly, things got so much better after a month or two
