My wife went through something similar. Took until she was in her 30s and we were pursuing IVF for someone to take her seriously and actually do the investigation to realize she had crazy scarring from endometriosis causing all kinds of issues.

It's insane to me how much the modern medical community seems to normalize or straight up ignore this shit, like you said.

I realize we could have pushed harder, but when multiple doctors tell you "yeah, some women just experience periods differently, here's 500mg Naproxen to help you through" you tend to believe it.

Using different cutlery based off of meal size/how long you want to savor something (ex: You like ice cream, so you may eat it with a smaller spoon so it lasts longer.).

I don't do this all the time, but definitely with desserts and sweets. Both from the perspective of being able to savor it longer, and also for portion control.

I agree that makes a lot of sense--to your original point of targeting policies to achieve very specific goals.

I read another comment suggesting their efforts would actually be better spent targeting purple or barely-red states, if the goal is to really hurt Trump's support. You can only realistically change the minds of a small percentage of MAGAs, then it makes sense to target the regions where that small percent translates to a flip in votes.

I'm not sure I totally buy the analysis, since all this tariff bullshit is as much about messaging and dick-waving as anything else, but there's probably a nugget of truth to it.

I had to google that shit myself thinking you guys were both having a giggle. No fucking way...

According to my mom, this is a good thing because he's helping regular people make money in the stock market.

The MAGAs are actually cheering this because they think they're being invited into the club, when he's just brushing some crumbs off the table for them to fight over in the alley.

Dang, this one has layers when viewing on a small phone screen....

First glance: Heh, nice meme

Zoom in a little, see "Trump's Manly Tariffs" Uh, wtf

Zoom in a little more "...could reverse crisis in masculinity" What the fuck is wrong with these people!?

Or we see feudalism, scrip, slavery, or some.combination thereof

Which, from my admittedly limited understanding, is pretty much the explicit vision of the tech billionaires like Peter Thiel who are backing Trump and his goons.

Do you leave a sarcastic comment on everything you don't find funny / original, or just Pizzacake comics?

It's okay to just... not post if something isn't up your alley.

That is a hell of a read.

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky animals."

 

For background, i have a few hundred torrented movies that I have been downloading to / seeding directly from a folder structure set up for Plex/Jellyfin. Media library is a mix of ripped and downloaded content. Till now I have been using a client on my desktop to manage the files on my media server, but now qbittorent and radarr live on the media server where they should be.

I struggled for a bit to get qbittorent and radarr set up and hardlinking properly, and am now ready to start migrating all those torrents into the proper location. What I'm doing works, but it feels like I'm doing something the long way.

Here's what I'm currently doing:

  • Move torrent from media library to torrent folder
  • Copy/paste torrent link from desktop client to media server client and verify that it's seen properly
  • Add movie(s) in radarr, but do not tell it to begin searching for it
  • Select Manual Import / Interactive Import
  • Check the appropriate media file(s) and allow radarr to Import them to the movies I just added.

If that's more or less the best way to do it, I will chug through since it seems to be working. It just seems like adding the movie before importing is superfluous, since radarr has no problem matching up the media file the correct movie once it has been added.

TIA!
