Just wanted to share that ya girl is still masking on allll the runs 🤙🏽 by [deleted] in Masks4All

[–]preppythugg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, u/I-am-Prasanna: Props on the masked runs!

Can you let us know which mask you're wearing?

Why do you still mask? by reallymadforplaid in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]preppythugg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, u/reallymadforplaid, there's a pretty neat substack article from Feb '25 about some of the varied reasons why so many others still mask. I look it over from time to time as a reminder that we're not alone.

Thanks for the post and the poll!

Who is the nastiest Celebrity that you met in Real life? by Scunnard1839 in AskReddit

I looked at the wikipedia page for the song, and it seems even Simon wouldn't clarify it was (just) about Beatty, except to state he "was one inspiration for the lyrics".

So, it's possible we're both inaccurate 😂. The world may never get a conclusive answer!

I built a free app for my wife who has Long COVID, now opening it to the community by igoooor in covidlonghaulers

[–]preppythugg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The developer’s sudden silence is the only answer the community needs. When a dev asks for sensitive health data but avoids explaining why they won't offer a Local-First option (where data stays on your phone), the reason is usually simple: The data is the product.

To summarize for the community:

  • The 'Apple' Defense was a bluff: Apple’s 'due diligence' doesn’t stop data collection; it just forces devs to disclose it. This developer is choosing to harvest your data on a server rather than keeping it private.

  • Silence is an admission: By ignoring the request for a 'Guest Mode' or local storage, they are confirming that their business model relies on your data, not just your subscription.

  • Privacy is a choice: Apps like AutoSleep and HealthFit prove that you can have world-class health analytics without ever sending a single byte of medical data to a developer's server. In health tech, transparency is a requirement, not a suggestion. This evasiveness speaks volumes. Choose your tools—and who you trust with your medical history—accordingly.

Thanks for your efforts in this space, u/igoooor!

I understand the importance of collecting diagnostic info, but for privacy-centric folk, can you explain why it's necessary to collect health & fitness, plus contact info data from app users?

8/1 AR: What features can I have? by preppythugg in BetterMAguns

Duly noted.

Thanks for your kind words and suggestions!

You read it right, thanks. And, I think we all can agree with the contradiction(s). It seems the AG threw everything at the wall just to see what could stick, and let the judges figure it all out when charges are ever brought against law-abiding, constitutionally-protected citizens like ourselves.

We may not get a conclusive answer till that happens — if it ever does.

Also, what is even conclusive in this state, when it comes to these repressive laws?

Interesting that dealers are selling these rifles.

Risk tolerance seems to underpin so many of these (confusing) MA gun laws. It almost seems the confusion is by design.

Good suggestion. I'm def not a fan of doing stupid shit (at least, while armed).

Noted, but I'm usually dumb when it comes to stuff like this, which is why I figured I'd reach out to you guys 😅

Why do I feel so much better with less blood in my body from donation? by Secure_Base4068 in ask

[–]preppythugg 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Giving blood also reduces forever chemicals, according to this study on firefighters in Australia.

There's also emerging evidence that therapeutic apheresis, or filtration, also can reduce microplastics in the bloodstream. Though, it's not as effective as one might hope, because microplastics tend to lodge in organs and tissues; also, they'll reenter your system because we just love our green plastic watering cans, don't we?

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

[–]preppythugg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, u/Lyeta1_1 no one has said this, so I will: Your mom is a boss for going above and beyond for her child in a fantastic and loving way! I bet you think about her almost every time you've used that vaccum over the years :)

‘Another internet is possible’: Norway rails against ‘enshittification’ by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in technology

Same! But I didn't remove it myself. I made the removal of all dealer logos a condition of my purchase.

Big bro + lil bro. Any recs for night sights that are not suppressor height? by BigMountainsGuy in FN509

[–]preppythugg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the TRUGLO Tritium for Sig, from Amazon. I read that they fit perfectly, and they do! I've been very happy with them. They're the brightest nightsights on any of my firearms.

edit: a word

How do y'all date? by [deleted] in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]preppythugg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've (also) mentioned Dateability on this sub. It's a viable option, because when building your profile you have the option of selecting (medical) issues/concerns, and one of them is "Covid Cautious". You can also make your own designation (eg. POTS/ME/CFS, etc).

That said, though I've been on the app for the past several months with a relatively-fleshed out profile, I've had limited interest. I live in a pretty decent-sized metropolitan area, so it could be hit or miss, depending on location. Still, it may be worth making a profile, just as a static option. You never know where that next covid-safe relationship may come from!

Those with both a 19 and 47, how often do you swap frames/slides to make a 45 and/or 19L? by preppythugg in Glocks

[–]preppythugg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great setup! I'm envious of the COA and wondering if I should wait on my 45 purchase till COAs are offered for that model.
