  • Naaah. Best to not vote at all and point the finger at others when democracy is lost. Because it’s NEVER your fault.

    Because you didn’t vote!

    Big brain logic right there.

  • ELI5 why is anarchy not "the guy with the bigger stick" making the rules?
  • And without authority to back up the rules- the rules are easily dismissed without consequence. And easily dismissed rules with no consequence is anarchy.

    Therefore- rules negate anarchy.

  • Does anyone know why if you have two knives and a katana equipped, it won't auto-swap to the katana if you throw both knives?

    This is driving me nuts!

    The only way to make the katana auto equip after tossing knives is to un-equip one knife- but then I have to pass through unarmed to get to it.

    Is there ANY way to fix this?

    How do I stop a skill from forcing itself on my radial menus?

    EDIT: This is on PS5-

    I made the stupid mistake of acquiring the performance skill from the bard girl in act I by playing along with her, and now no matter whereI I move it to, or even remove it entire from my radial menu, it forces itself back to it every time I have a fight and forces my default radial to whichever one it puts itself on. Even if it has to create a new one.

    I had to stop playing this character because its so annoying. Is there a way to make this stop? Or do I have to start over?

    Also- is there ANY way to keep Recast Speak with Dead on my bar without having to add it every time after a long rest?

    Seriously… the radial menus in BG3 are biggest buggy mess I’ve seen in a game in a while. But it’s such an amazing game!

    Is there a way to switch accounts?

    I have multiple accounts, and I can only ever switch to whichever the newest one added is. How do I switch to a previously created account?

    a friend bet me i couldnt take On a Boat by Lonely Island and maket it a ballad:
    on.soundcloud.com On A Boat

    It started as a joke, but it's not half-bad. Violins, bass, and cellos are all live recorded- the rest is sequenced.

    On A Boat

    It needs vocals, but I thought it was funny.

    i need to go to the hospital, and im freaking out!

    So to start off, I have a pretty severe sinus infection and possibly a severe tooth infection as well. I know the first because I went to an ENT, and I know the second because the ENT I went to- said that he thinks I need to have a dead tooth removed, and that it it’s more than likely also infected.

    The problem I have is that I seem to have a bad reaction to the medicine I was given in that I absolute lost my shit when I was on doxycycline. Or it could have been the Fluticasone because apparently that can have some bad reactions exactly like mine.

    From out of nowhere… my heart rate was off the charts, horrible panic throughout the evening, disassociation, terrifying dark thoughts of doom and gloom…. the works.

    This was Thursday night.

    I’ve only JUST begun calming down and then found out when I woke that my childhood-into-mid-adult best friend living on the other side of the country has died.

    So I’m not doing well.

    I have a bad infection and I can’t take antibiotics for it- (the idea of trying anything else makes me shake with anxiety now) and I have a white knuckle fear of hospitals.

    I don’t know what to do.

    I know that it’s best to go to the hospital, but they’ll want me to stay there for observation. Which is for the best because if anything happens, I’ll be safe- but the idea of being in a hospital away from everything I know is freaking me out.

    How do I do this?

    Is anyone here knowledgeable on sinus infections and the medications/antibiotics prescribed for them?

    Disclaimer: I’m not asking for medical diagnoses, more I’m trying to find some hope and peace of mind in the chaos that’s become my brain-

    I REALLY hope I can find some help here.

    So to start off, i am on the spectrum. So maybe not as default, but I think my depression/anxiety stems from this which can’t be helping my situation at all, but to get to the point….

    I have a pretty bad sinus infection. Can’t say for certain how long I’ve had it, but my best guess is several years up to a decade or so. I’ll say though, that it’s not even CLOSE to how bad I’ve read it can get. I can breathe through both nostrils fairly well, and it’s only slightly restricted. Only recently it’s gotten bad enough to go see someone about it- who seemingly wants to jump right to surgery. Another source of extreme anxiety.

    And to add- I also apparently have one (or more) infected teeth. As of now, my ENT is uncertain which caused which, but I have an appointment to have a scan done to see what needs pulling/fixing.

    So here comes the part with the problem:

    Thursday night I took my first dose of a new antibiotic prescribed after the fist round (can’t remember the name) did nothing.

    The new one? Doxycycline.

    The problem? Several hours after taking it my entire world became a living hell.

    Absolute panic, disassociation, stress, fatigue and insomnia that has lasted until current and seems to wax and wane through the day. I feel like I’m losing my mind. I only took the one pill- ever. Nothing more after that aside from Fluticasone. Which I’m understanding can ALSO be a contributor via something called Steroid induced Psychosis.

    To that- I’ve been on the nasal spray for about two-three weeks, and occasionally doing more of it than prescribed. 3-4 doses per day as opposed to the suggested 2. This is due to ignorance on my part of not kowing it was a steroid treatment. (Didn’t know you could just by something like that off the shelf)

    So to get to the point…

    I don’t know what to do. I’m having seemingly severe mental reactions to almost all medications I’m given, but need to get this infection handled before I can even think about having a tooth extracted. (Or possibly sinus surgery) And this absolute shitshow of a health crisis has got my mind reeling with panic and doom/gloom. I feel like I’m up against a wall and I can’t find a way to get through it. On top of that, I’m barely sleeping.

    Does anyone out there have experience with adverse side effects of doxycycline and/or Flonase? If so, how did you get through it? How long did it take? Are there any permanent effects?

    Or…

    Am I just WAY overthinking this? Because it doesn’t feel that way. The panic, disassociation, doom and gloom, anxiety, depression… it all feels very real to me.

    Apologies for the life story, I’m an info-dumper on a good day- today… I’m an absolute wreck!

    Thanks in advance for any/all advice!

    On a good day i have prery bad anxiety, but....

    I’m having to take Doxycycline for a severe chronic sinus infection and it puts me through the roof. Last night was the fist dose and I was out of my mind. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t focus on anything and all I could do was get up and pace around every 10 minutes or so.

    Also, I have to have some of my back teeth removed and my ENT wants to do a procedure called Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery. This is all too much for me to handle. I know that it’s all necessary and if I don’t do it, the infection could kill me- but any surgeries scare the shit out of me on a good day- and the meds are making it worse.

    Apologies if I’m all over the place, but I’m out of my mind with all of this and I can’t calm down. I don’t know what to do. I can’t find a safe place in my mind to take a break from this and just be okay. Nothing feels okay.

    Trying to post using Wefwef hangs on the progress circle and I can’t leave it without deleting my post

    Any posts to this community has to be done using a different app because the Wefwef client won’t post and doesn’t let me exit out of waiting forever for it to work. My only option is to delete the comment or I have to close the app entirety and return to go back to browsing after attempting a post.

    Posts with links aren’t showing the links at all

    The thumbnail is black with a link icon, but in the post- there is no link to access. I’m assuming these are all posts that should have links to sites on them- but none are showing.

    scrolling locks up every 10-15 seconds.

    The only way to free it up is to pull up from the bottom as if I’m force closing the app but then not follow through. This has been going on for the past few days.

    Of the three different apps I use to access Lemmy, this is the only one that does this- so it’s not my phone.
