"GOP rep discontinues town halls, switches to private party meetings"
Democratic Sens. Richard Durbin (Ill.), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Gary Peters (Mich.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) and Brian Schatz (Hawaii) (Nev.) all voted "yes" in addition to Schumer, — as did Maine's Angus King, an Independent who caucuses with Democrats.
It's like they took every stupid political meme in today's discourse, put them into a bag, shook it up, and pulled something out at random.
Is this flooding the zone? Am I being baited?
Option 1: Leave it the fuck alone
I would, but they told me if I get one and try to change their gender, it'd void my warranty.
The smug smirk makes it seem like this is a statement of defiance rather than a request for help.
Maybe the catchphrase should be "we actually don't" or something to that effect.
Don't you care about the environment? Or democracy? Ending poverty? School shootings?
We actually don't.
oof owie my esophagus
I'll have to put a pin in that and circle back once I've had a chance to look into whether I can think about looking for that information for you.
What do you think we'll find out if we fuck around and create a huge mass of unemployed people with nothing to lose and a ton of free time on their hands

Abilify, insomnia, and strobe light vision effects
I started taking Abilify / aripiprazole just about a week ago and have had some very annoying side effects. I searched on Reddit and found people with similar experiences, but didn't find anything on Lemmy. For the sake of building up content here, I thought I'd share.
My psychiatrist started me on 5 mg Abilify at bedtime. Within a couple days, I noticed these effects:
- I feel drowsy and fall asleep easily about 20 mins after taking it. It usually takes me 30-60 mins to fall asleep otherwise, or 90-120 mins on really bad nights, so it's been helpful in that regard.
- I consistently wake up about 3 h into the night. If I try to go back to sleep, I can only stay asleep for 30-60 mins at a time before I wake up again.
- Whenever I wake up, I have this strange strobe light effect in my peripheral vision for a moment.
- My mood improved somewhat, but that's been outweighed quite a bit by the insomnia.
Just to clarify, I haven't been diagnosed with bipolar per se, but rather a mood disord

Does hair in food carry any health risks?
Say I go to a restaurant and find a hair in my food. Are there any actual health risks?
Does it make a difference if I:
- Find it in the dish, remove it, and keep eating
- Take a bite, find it in my mouth, and remove it
- Ingest it
This was inspired by a recent news story about a certain authoritarian butthole cosplaying as a food service worker. I did try to look it up (er, search it up?), but the top hits were lengthy meandering articles, or totally off-topic stuff like foods to prevent hair loss. So naturally I gave up and opted to consult the hive mind instead.
Would you stop donating to a free service if it started putting up paywalls?
I've been donating to the news site Vox for a while now, and all their content has so far been free. I felt kinda bad about blocking the ads on their site and fast-forwarding through all the ad breaks in their podcasts. So in the spirit of actually supporting something I like, I started chipping in a few bucks a month.
But recently, they've started putting some of their articles behind a paywall. Since I was already donating, I automatically have access. But for some reason, I feel like I don't wanna pay anymore. It's not like it costs me more, but there's just something about dontating to a free site vs paying for exclusive content that doesn't feel the same. Maybe cuz I'm not a fan of paywalls in general, so I don't want to support companies that implement them.
Does that make sense? What would you do? And if you're not a fan of Vox, maybe think of some other free service/content, like videos from a streamer or a software project or something.
it's showtime
i mean would you rather unlock double jumps irl or have all of peach's costumes
Nausea on HRT? (MtF)
I'm a trans woman, and I've been experiencing pretty annoying levels of nausea recently -- like, daily, for a few months. It's not too disruptive, but I get hungry really sporadically, and I spend the rest of the time feeling vaguely queasy. I'm wondering if it's at all related to the drug cocktail I'm on.
I've been on HRT for about 2 years now. I take estradiol (4 mg/day orally) and spironolactone (100 mg/day). I get my hormone levels checked regularly at a clinic. The spiro used to be 50 mg/day, but I had to up the dose after my testosterone levels started creeping back up several months ago.
The T uptick seemingly coincided with when I started taking bupropion for depression. My T levels are back in range, and I've since switched out the bupropion for lamotrigine (a mood stabilizer). But now I have all this nausea.
Despite what I've described, my HRT prescriber and my psychiatrist both insist that this drug combination shouldn't be causing nausea, nor the jump in T levels. So,
thought i'd get a day off from work, but noooo...
though i am struggling with image uploads for some reason, so i guess i do get to participate in the chaos after all
Empty space between posts (Firefox on Android)
For the past day or so, I've been seeing a bunch of empty space in between posts. All the posts are there, but I have to scroll for a while to see them all. It also happens on comment threads.
I'm using Firefox 127.0.2 on Android 14. It also happens when I request the desktop site view. It doesn't happen on my actual desktop, nor does it happen for other instances like lemmy.world.
Is this a known issue? Any fixes?
