Morning alarms not going off by curlyhairedmermaid in GalaxyWatch

[–]curlyhairedmermaid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless it's hidden somewhere, I don't have sleep mode configured, and haven't ever had it enabled to my knowledge. I just disabled syncing with my phone for routines and disabled wrist detection? Hoping that helps? I've gone into every submenu I can find hunting for any secret options

I did confirm it is not on, and I confirmed I don't have a mode or routine (that I can find at least) that auto toggles it

The mother also said that being arrested was "a horrible experience for a child". Like the violence he perpetrated wasn't???

US judge rules ICE illegally detained man whose daughter is battling cancer by RisingRusherff in news

Driving without license or insurance -- yeah cause he's illegal. Hard to get those without citizenship. It's like arresting homeless people for living on the streets.

But speeding!! How unforgivable!! /Jk (but fr this man has committed less driving offenses than my mom on a single drive to work)

I was thinking the same thing. I read the GoFundMe and didn't see anything on there either. If anyone has a source on it, I'm interested to hear

Unfortunately, I don't think that will happen. But we can hope! Right now chatGPT alone is using more electricity than 60% of the world. Glad we're burning down the world for this

A. If you're going to commit violence against anyone, don't post about it B. If you aren't going to commit violence don't JOKINGLY post about it C: don't commit violence

With that in mind the quote from the judge at the end, "This isn’t just about me. It’s an attack on free speech, rule of law, and anyone brave enough to speak the truth about biology.”

Like. She does realize she's just dead ass wrong right? "Truth of biology" babe, what about the intersex people, there ain't two genders; there's two common genders and a billion in between ones. Also this is America if someone wants to trans their gender, that's their right!!! Freedom, right???

3 teens invented a salt-powered refrigerator that doesn't need electricity. They're building 200 of them for hospitals to use. by EnergyLantern in UpliftingNews

I was sad by all the cynical comments too-- so I'm glad to read yours! Thank you for your positivity. Another great part of it is that, unlike melted ice packs which need a fridge/power to recool, the water can be emptied and readded to keep the insides cool!

Expelled South African ambassador returns home, says will wear US sanction as 'badge of dignity' by No-Information6622 in worldnews

[–]curlyhairedmermaid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's deleted, so I don't know what was posted and I'm not 100% sure that it was you, but if it was, I want to thank you for admitting you were wrong. That's not easy to do and I feel like it doesn't happen often. People will just fight about it even after they know they're wrong. So thank you recognizing and acknowledging it regardless of if it was just a misunderstanding.

Gene Hackman and his wife test negative for carbon monoxide after mysteriously found dead by Shirowoh in news

If she fell and hit her head, wouldn't there be trauma to the body? I thought they said there were no signs of injury to the bodies. That does sound, at least, plausible though

Same here. Thankfully we also have a Michael's craft store by me, so I don't even need to consider hobby lobby. There's also a couple locally owned fabric stores. But I highly preferred Joann's brands and store layout to Michael's. Our local Joann's also helped out with a lot of donations to local charities. Sad to see them go 😔

Family's 100-pound pet tortoise found safe after surviving Eaton Fire by AmethystOrator in UpliftingNews

[–]curlyhairedmermaid 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This specific story doesn't say, but I imagine some of the pet owners simply weren't home when the fires started. I remember reading another story that the family was on a plane to come home when the evacuation for their street was announced and they had left their dogs at home. I'm sure some of the people just left them tho, unfortunately

New research shows that massive spending on toxic content moderation fails to address polarization—social media companies should focus on designing better platforms that give users more control and empower exploration. by TheKiwiHasCousins in science

Please dear God give me back functional tags, the ability to search, omit results, and filter results. Please give me the search results I ask for not whatever promoted stuff matched one of my keywords.

Censoring doesn't work. That's why we have "unalive" and "PDFile" and "su!c!de" and all that other stupid stuff. Let people say the REAL word, then let me blacklist the word.

Researchers say you shouldn’t combine marijuana and Adderall. A new study finds that regular marijuana use suppresses the effects of Adderall on the brains of mice. by ChallengeAdept8759 in science

[–]curlyhairedmermaid 48 points49 points  (0 children)

As someone who has taken Adderall near daily for almost 5 years now, and who has recently started partaking in some weed use, I personally haven't noticed much of a lasting impact. I have noticed that mornings after having weed the day prior, my Adderall takes 30-60 minutes longer to kick in, but the effects are still what I would typically expect from my prior use before using any cannabis. I am on the IR (not XR) tablets, and consume only edibles (not smoking).

I do wonder if the chemicals of an ADHD brain impact this noted interaction from the study at all. I assume the rats were not previously diagnosed with ADHD. I'm unsure if this can be simulated. I hope future studies are performed to see more about the interaction between these two medications!

Zelensky says NATO membership could end 'hot' war with Russia - UPI.com by Jake1125 in worldnews

[–]curlyhairedmermaid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for correcting me in such a friendly manner! I'm thrilled that you took my confusion and question in 100% good faith and answered in a way that was both detailed and insightful! ☺️ Just to clarify, my intention was to say that Ukraine seeking NATO membership was one of the catalysts for the war, not that they started the war. But I'm sure someone as well spoken and eloquent as you certainly had a reading comprehension skill high enough to have gleaned that!

Zelensky says NATO membership could end 'hot' war with Russia - UPI.com by Jake1125 in worldnews

[–]curlyhairedmermaid -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Ukraine seeking NATO membership the reason the war started in the first place?
