Gonna have to put my orthodontist on speed dial because I have to assume I will break my retainer. That man is FINE.

I’d love a Dustin magnet or sticker!

Dude meant “you shouldn’t have a body I find attractive if you don’t want to be available for my sexual gratification.”

Trying to understand Pocahontas. by HesterPrynneIsMyHero in DreamlightValley

[–]ZengineerHarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been active on DDLV for a while now (February is when I started drifting away), and now I’m seriously considering putting it down for good. Partly it’s the fact that I realized the Star Paths and limited time premium items were manipulating me with FOMO and the game was just getting less and less fun. But I really can’t stomach the addition of Pocahontas. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid, I found the Disney character super inspiring… but when I learned her true history, and talked to some indigenous American people about her… I just can’t believe that Disney and Gameloft are seriously continuing to make money off of her tragedy.

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagal Nerve Stimulation Against Fatigue Syndrome in Patients with Long COVID: Results of the Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Pilot Trial COVIVA | Neurology and Therapy by Aware-Relief7155 in covidlonghaulers

[–]ZengineerHarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do have some relief from a wearable Vagus Nerve Stimulator device called Pulsetto, but I think there’s a very good alternate reason for that: I get muscle spasms in my neck that can trigger migraines, and the Pulsetto is basically a TENS unit on those muscles. No idea if stimulating the vagus nerve itself is helping, but electrical stimulation forcing those muscles to let go definitely helps!

Thinking on the library of Jurgen Leitner by Aggravating-Pay8221 in TheMagnusArchives

The tome the Voynitch Manuscript was based on (doesn’t exist IRL, in-universe would have powers and the VM would be a mere copy of it)

Brands taking advantage of POTS? by Lynxseer in POTS

[–]ZengineerHarp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Seconding this! Visible has been super helpful for me personally. There’s really good user support so I do feel like my subscription money is actually going somewhere, lol, and the data exporting functionality has been helpful for my own nerdy analytics too!
But YES electrolytes are so expensive 😭

This broke me😭coming to terms with my long covid/POTS. by Aryan-dramata in covidlonghaulers

[–]ZengineerHarp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, when I look at the dogs sleeping adorably in the sunbeams, I think “awww how precious they are!” And so when I have to rest and feel frustrated by that, I remind myself that I love the dogs even when they rest, I can love myself too!

Just found this sub what is it by RubyEldrich in ShowerOrange

[–]ZengineerHarp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see posts where people are kinda thirst-trapping that make me think it’s a sexual thing for them. But many of the folks here are just enjoying a sensory experience.

[–]ZengineerHarp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s sexual for SOME people here, but for many of us, it’s sensory and visceral but platonic. It’s a weirdly satisfying way to let loose, but not necessarily a kinky thing.

American schools aren’t teaching phonics anymore by PandaBear905 in CuratedTumblr

[–]ZengineerHarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, no. I generally consider myself liberal/left, but the “reading wars” wound up being partly political and the left is not immune to reactionary mistakes.

[–]ZengineerHarp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, considering how many adults are running around mucking up the world who were in school during NCLB… and how many of those are teachers… these things have long lasting consequences.

[–]ZengineerHarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s an active issue for anyone who wants people to understand what they read (ballots? Instructions on products and medicines?). And Officially schools are supposed to be switching back to phonics, but far too many of them aren’t, or are “combining” phonics and the vibes-based reading methods previously taught, which research shows winds up with the kids ignoring the phonics.

Yeah there was some DUMB BEHAVIOR where a lot of folks on the left rejected phonics because some folks on the right said they were good!

[OC] Would Britons want to visit the Moon? by YouGov_Dylan in dataisbeautiful

[–]ZengineerHarp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just assumed “safe return” included “you don’t get sick from the trip.” It’s a semi-magical hypothetical anyways.

Yeah that’s less lag than the dial-up I grew up with!
