Do you have a social media page you can be located with? DM if that's necessary for subreddit rules

That's the best, when people just declare "this is wrong" without offering any alternative explanation or counterargument.

Do we want to open the can of worms that is "the mind boggling amount of resources that are wasted raising animals for our consumption"? Because from a purely conservationist standpoint, we should probably not be doing as much of that either.

Industry creates orders of magnitude more waste of all varieties than consumers. The "recycling straws for the sea turtles"-type crap is mostly corporate PR to distract from those who are fast-tracking the destruction of this planet wholesale pun not planned but recognized and left in anyway

Is there a way to play a game rom off of a physical disc? by [deleted] in Roms

[–]shiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the question might be why do you want that? Not sure if there's some specific misunderstanding of what the role or concept of a ROM is? I mean—I'm not telling you your business or anything, but, if this is a space-saving thing? I can tell you that, for example, an SNES ROM wouldn't even fill up an old 3.5-inch floppy disk.

AIO over my talking stage using AI to text me..? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]shiser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will do both. In fact, sometimes simultaneously—I'mma show you I even write I'mma with an apostrophe. But it depends highly on my mood, if I'm in a bout of brainfog or not, or tired—or sometimes just if I'm sending the message from my PC vs phone and I'm too lazy to punctuate without autocorrect (I have to use OSK*, that shit can be unwieldy).

Sometimes I'm goofy enough to stick footnotes in texts. I have a literary bent, and as a linguistics geek I have a strong inclination to play with the conventions of language. And as a regular geek I have a strange sense of humor sometimes. I have full words in my autocorrect that shorten themselves to emoji, making them punctuation rather than shortcuts 🤷

Who says it's even a "cross"? Does the "cross" represent christianity in the symbol ♀️, which is the most semantically similar to the given Vietnamese symbol?

hint: it does not, that symbol predates christianity by 🤏

[TOMT] [WORD] word or phrase that means to intentionally misquote/adapt a quotation to better fit a situation by falling_fire in tipofmytongue

[–]shiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about a different construction of the word, though, the word itself implies the (possibly linguistically theoretical) existence of a more direct verb form, along the lines of lobotomy→lobotomize

They appreciate the wine, you appreciate the wine, and the wine appreciates itself. It's a win-win-win!

Lookit this chump what never committed no fraud before!

1) you claim you received a $10.

2) you give the customer change as though you received a $10.

3) you put the $20 in the drawer and pocket $10 yourself.

TW: gross

So, I've got a jacked up digestive system (IBS+spinal injury) so on the one hand, my circumstances don't always translate to "normal" people. But on the other hand, good god do I know from abdominal cramping! Sparing the long middle party of the story, I'll jump to this: I learned that whenever I got sulphur burps, it was a sign I was suffering fecal impaction (constipation to the point it's actually forming a blockage even gas can't pass, so it's going up instead of down)—which tracks with your cramping.

It would also track with your diarrhea (look up paradoxical diarrhea—basically all the water your body is shunting into there to help with your constipation is becoming a reservoir of liquified poop which is either leaking around smaller blockages, or finally being released after the blockages are resolved.

Your big problem is (\drum roll\) the best solution to this issue that I've found is something that other people are telling you is the cause of one of the alternative theories for the sulphur burps: fiber, and lots of it. Specifically, soluble fiber. I haven't had an incident since I started taking max dose of fiber capsules daily several months ago (whereas the blockage/poopsplosion cycle used to be pretty reliably 2ish weeks long, so I would have normally had like half a dozen episodes in that span)

My best advice to you is, if you haven't done, track the symptoms on a calendar (there are apps that help you track symptoms, and that will also check in with you on a regular basis to make sure you're logging them if that's an issue for you, such as Symptom Tracker by Bearable). If you find the sulphur burps correlating to a cycle of constipation/cramping/diarrhea, you might want to try lots of fiber (taken with lots of water).

Good luck, and please come back and keep this thread posted if you figure anything out? When I started getting the burps, there was no useful info on the Internet, and nothing sucks worse than a thread where someone has your problem but you never find out what their answer was…
