I think a lot of them don't realize who is being categorized as illegal. Conservatives I know seen to be able to hold multiple conflicting ideas at the same time, e.g., hating immigrants but be friends with them on a one on one basis. I don't think they actually see the problem with that.

Anyway, I think a lot of centrists especially take "illegal" and "criminal" at face value. You can see the argument for deporting people that shouldn't have been here to begin with. The difference is that we're seeing a very loose definition of those terms being applied by authorities. Innocent people are being targeted and treated as terrorists.

I think a lot of them don't realize this, or refuse to believe it. You will see them online saying "Come to America. You have nothing to worry about if your papers are in order and you haven't done anything wrong."

This is just my impression of things. People are different and it's a big country.

You're not wrong, but I would rather OP seek any qualified medical care than none, even if all they do is refer them to the ER.

Consider going to a walk in clinic. If it's nothing serious, you pay 100-200 and you're on your way. If you go to the ER and it's nothing serious, your insurance may deduct you hundreds more (my ER copay is $500 and I have great insurance).

If it is serious, the walk in will tell you to go to the ER. In that case, the insurance may waive the ER copay. While it is true they can't deny you care, this system of expensive ER copay was presumably put in place to stop people using the ER to provide free care. Check your insurance policy (preferably before you get sick). I believe some places also have free clinics, but I would expect them to be pretty crowded.

Good luck OP. This sounds serious and you need to take care of your health. Try to find a way you can at least get some real qualified medical advice, even if you seemingly recovered this time.

I have had weird issues ever since upgrading in place from Fedora 41 to 42 also, but I have an AMD card. For example digikam suddenly stopped working unless I run it as flatpak or I force it to use the igpu. Smb4k stopped auto mounting and I sometimes have to try it a couple of times before it works. Random UI stuff would glitch and then be fixed in an update. Just odd stuff like that. I should reinstall fresh, but I don't want the hassle right now. My games and other apps work fine.

My only suggestion is to try forcing it to use the main GPU with an environment variable like DRI_PRIME. I don't know what it is for Nvidia though.

First: you've done good, raising a kid that asks for your permission first.

Second: realize that this comes from peer pressure, them wanting a space away from parental supervision. If you truly want to make your kids savvy about the Internet, you need to assume they will eventually encounter seedy places, run into assholes, and be exposed to things like bullying.

Have a conversation: you will encounter these things. Your friends may be into them. But they can have bad effects and here is how you avoid it and how to deal if it happens to you. Talk about keeping private information private.

Be open and non-judgemental. You want them to feel safe coming to you for advice.

Be truthful and stay credible. Keep up with what's out there, but don't just buy into the latest Tiktok scare.

Talk to your kids about stuff they found that was cool or scary.

Embarrass them by using memes incorrectly.

Setting up a mastodon instance may be cool at first, but their friends are going to think it's lame with the supervision. You could still do it for a number of other reasons, but it won't prepare them for the ugly Internet.

I'm not a doctor or pharmacist, so I can't give you medical advice, but if I were you I would contact your doctor's office and ask.

Sometimes pharmacists can recommend an exchange, but it's best to first check with your doctor. Typically it's just a matter of getting a generic or different brand, but they will know best what the options are. It can be a headache though if one option is covered and one is not. You will have to check with your insurance company to find out if it is covered. Doctors don't know the details of your plan and could end up prescribing something not covered. Pharmacists can often help with finding drugs that are interchangeable.

DOM interfacing is lackluster with wasm still, but you can certainly compile rust to wasm.

Not sure if it's an overall increase, but you can always search the FDA drug shortages database.

At least our hours are the same length regardless of latitude now, so let's be grateful for that.

Always download the backup 2fa codes. This is when you need them.

Growing up in Norway, where roads are narrow, days are short, and snow piles up above a second grader's head, we were taught to use sidewalks, when they are available, or walk on the left (we drive on the right). I think it's supposed to make it easier to see oncoming traffic and get out of the way.

More importantly, though, was to wear reflective clothing. As a driver: please for the love of God don't go running in a black track suit along a dark country road early in the morning. You're not a fucking ninja. Wear something reflective.

Edit: I looked it up and it's actually in the law.
