Red Cross facing severe blood shortage
  • They are a non-profit organization. They aren't making money off of your blood, the money allows them to provide relief and services.

  • Country codes are hard
  • The second digit marks the beginning of the area code which cannot start with a 0

  • America has lost its f*****g mind.
  • Why do you even give a shit? You don't even live here

  • What do you call this place?
  • Not sure if you are looking for a series answer, but where I live they are called: Right-of-Ways

  • YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"
  • I went nine times. I don't think I needed to keep going but I kept agreeing to the next appointment lol. My HSA covered it at least. Except for the first few appointments I'd go once a month. I don't plan on going again for now.

  • YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"
  • Everyone will have different experiences. Going to a chiropractor helped me with my posture in the long term. After my first visit it was no longer uncomfortable to stand up straight. I used to have this lump in the back of my neck and whatever they did made that go away. I did initially go for back pain and I can't say if the visits helped with back pain in the long term but the adjustment did help me with my posture.

  • Spotify Wrapped 2023 is out, what's your top artist and top song for the year?

  • Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
  • I use a cheap, lower end Fitbit. I like the cheap one because it's low profile, the screen is nice and small.

    I do use it for time constantly but the other features are nice too. I can read, but not reply, to texts. I'm notified of an incoming call. I do use the step counter and hourly activity reminders to make sure I move enough at my sedentary job. The stopwatch feature is great for in-between sets at the gym. I like knowing my heart rate too when I'm working out.

  • How do you work full-time and stay awake all shift?
  • First things first, do you get enough sleep at night?
    I work a desk job and do consistently get pretty drowsy around 2pm. I find that eating a lighter lunch and moving around keeps me awake. Take a walk around the building or something, it's bad for you to sit all day long anyways. I drink an energy drink every day as soon as I get in but I don't know what effect, if any, it has on my afternoon drowsiness.

  • Are you forgetting about the whole "cameras in the bathroom" thing?

  • People of Lemmy! How to get fit?
  • I'm a woman who just wanted to be strong and I found that hiring a personal trainer was best for me. Not only do they tell you what to do but they walk you through the exercises. Having good form is really important.

  • youtube getting more agressive blocking users after 3 videos
  • None of my devices (all firefox with ublock) have had any issues with ads on youtube...yet.

  • The salary a single person needs to get by in every U.S. state
  • These numbers feel so high to me. I guess my definition of "get by" is different than theirs.

  • Most people rather be electronically shocked than left alone with their thoughts?
  • Ok, but how painful is the shock? If it's only mildly uncomfortable then this isn't surprising at all.

  • The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 20-07-2023
  • Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

  • LIBERATE
  • FUCK YEAH!!!

  • Have you ever dumped a job right after youve been hired?
  • Yep! I have left two jobs within the first week. Life is too short to waste it on bullshit.

  • Be honest, do you still use reddit?
  • Nope! Not once since the blackout began.

  • What are your favorite arguments for voting NO this August?

    I'm seeing a lot of confused voters on Facebook and Nextdoor and I want to do my best to convince them to vote no. Unfortunately, they are willing to give up their voting power just to spite people who are in favor of preserving the right to abortion.

    A Florida sinkhole that killed a man in 2013 opens for a third time
  • Florida demands another sacrifice. I have some ideas on who to throw in.

  • did anyone else from the USA grow up being forced to say the pledge to the flag in school?
  • At some point in high school I stopped standing. I want to say my freshman year but I could be wrong. It was just on a whim one day, although I was a bit of a rebel at heart, I was not the type of student to get in trouble for anything.

    Anyway, from the day I first decided to ignore the pledge, I was never reprimanded for it. Some teachers would stare daggers at me but I never received any punishment nor were my parents notified.

    Edit to add: The time period would have been sometime from 2007-2010

  • Remember signatures? I think it's about time those made a comeback.

    Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic for forums. Maybe it would clutter up the comments. What do you all think?
