I had a Chevrolet Vitara (for Venezuela… for US people it would be a Suzuki Vitara) that my father bought in 1998 and gave me when I was 17.

First car I “owned”, used for 6 years, never had to repair it or anything at all, took me everywhere without problems and since it was a small 2 door it fit everywhere.

I took my friends with it, my parents, traveled with it, etc. Also, surprisingly, we never had to do any repairs to the car since 1998 up until 2021 when my dad sold it because it was almost dead. That car was the best and I miss it.

Then I got a Dodge Dakota from 2002, it was good but I didn’t like it as much as the Vitara.

Now I drive a VW Gol (2005), good car, a little fucked up.

From Brasil!

Just shut down the damn app by this point, man.

It’s probably not as bad as some of the comments I’m reading here, but it was about Demon Salyer. I met my wife’s little cousin (she is 12yo) about a month ago, and she was talking about anime (Demon Slayer, in this case) and she asked me who my favorite character was.

I had finished the manga, so I told her that I didn’t have any because none of them really spoke to me and asked her what was her favorite. She said it was Shinobu because it was “her comfort character” (I had no clue what that meant at that moment), and not having thought about the fact that not everyone read the manga, I immediately said that:

I realized my fuck up when she started just tearing up, didn’t know what to do so I said I was really sorry and left.

I’m not a grammar expert and English is not my first language but I think I used to say this before and I just ended up taking out the “what it is” and changed it for the thing I’m trying to remember:

There’s a thing that I don’t know the name of

Or

There’s a thing that I don’t know how to describe

Or

There’s a thing whose purpose is a mystery to me

Is that what you’re refering to? Sorry if it’s not. I don’t think any of the first three examples are correct, or at least they sound really weird to me.

Please do correct me if there’s an English mayor somewhere though!

I use: 1 copy in my primary SSD on my laptop 1 copy in my secondary SSD on same laptop, which autosyncs to: 1 copy in OneDrive family plan 1 copy on an external SSD

Kind of based on the 3-2-1 method.

I wouldn’t be able to use more of my medication, so if I keep taking NSAIDS every day, then until I have kidney/liver failure. I don’t know how long would that be.

That’s of course not accounting for someone trying to murder me to get the NSAIDS they couldn’t get, or someone else trying to murder me for my belongings/food. Since I have arthritis I can’t really defend myself so… Yeah.

I did talk to my wife about this on one of those drunken conversations and we both agreed to just end it when we see no other way because we both need medication to live.

How do you know what he meant?

Because he said “Hamas sympathizers” in lieu of “Palestinian sympathizers”.

So what is the next step for Google? Raising YT TV to $100/month? $200/month? Raising Youtube Premium to $30/month? Google one to $200/month? Laying off employees?

I mean they gotta keep hitting that 5% growth every year, right? When does it stop? When there’s nobody else at the company? When people can’t afford anything anymore and go bankrupt?

When are companies gonna understand that growth for the sake of growth every year is just not feasable?

Wait, I do a similar one to the twist and tuck but what I do is that I twist it and then partially re-cover the remaining breads, would that put me with the twist and tuck people or an I something else?

When do you guys think they (companies/rich people/shareholders(?)) will realize that growth for the sake of growth is not viable and there will be a point of stagnation? Like… What are they gonna do, keep raising prices until nobody can b uy anything anymore?

Oof I’ve had an experience with these meds…

I used to take Humira for 5 years but my country stopped delivering it (I used to live in Venezuela), then I moved ti the US and started Humira again, but it was about 30-50% effective only, I still had a lot of pain

I then went through Cosentyx and Taltz, none worked. Then I tried Enbrel, same effectiveness, got it through a foundation. Healthcare didn’t want to cover it and the foundation didn’t approve me if I had Healthcare.

Got sick in the US, lost all my money (due to lack of money), so I spent the little I had saved to return to my country, moved to Brazil and I’m about to start Golimumab (Simponi) tomorrow, hopefully it works because I haven’t gotten medication in 2 months and the pain feels unbearable.

Having said all this, if there is a speck of a chance that this helps people with AS and other similar conditions, it would make me happy. Having this kind of pain is unbearable.

Sorry for the long comment, I suddenly wanted to rant about this!

Hope it’s not a stupid question but would this kind of thing work for ankylosing spondylitis??

I ask because I suffer from AS the doctor’s that I’ve gone to are always arguing whether it’s an autoimmune or an autoinflammatory disease, and on the web it says that the underlying mechanism is either of the two as well.

So it’s not clear to me whether it’s one or the other, or if itimplies the same thing. I’ve read a huge deal about AS but I’m not really good at biology or medicine to understand a lot.

Honestly the only reason I’m commenting -and asking- here, is because I want to have hope that this actually leads up to something that can help me stop this fucking pain that makes me feel like I want to die (figuratively) but I’m afraid of this being a clickbait article.

Also my English is not the best so sorry for any mistakes and for the long comment.

I want to add that you can enter the cargo hold by going to the Menu (Tab on PC), then click on lower left where your ship is and see the cargo hold (F on PC)

You can also move things from the cargo hold to your inventory even if you’re outside of your ship, I don’t remember if you can do so the other way around.

Isn’t this ok? I’m not saying it’s better… just OK?

I don’t know if this is just me but why is there always a race to be the “most popular/larger platform”?

Isn’t this kind of race to be the most popular the reason why a lot of platforms/companies/jobs/games/etc are suffering today? Growth for the sake of growth and forcing something to be more popular just because it needs to be more popular is just kind of sad.

It’s not like “corporate fediverse/lemmy” needs more users… At least this is my opinion.

I think this is better tbh, I personally don’t like it when piracy forums/sites/whatever piracy related thing goes too mainstream. Maybe it’s gatekeeping, I don’t know, I just don’t want another Z-Library incident.

Either way, they probably aren’t even against piracy, they’re probably just lazy and don’t want to deal with any of the issues they could potentially face down the line.

Edit - grammar
