She is real, but you wouldn't know her. She goes to another right-wing cult.

I just stopped Ozempic (Wegovy's less potent brother), because I felt like hot garbage the entire time. I'm a type 2 diabetic, and it did a fantastic job of controlling my blood sugar, so much so I could eat rice again. But every day I felt like crap. Even after being on it for nearly three months.

Hours spent in the bathroom because I didn't know when I'd be able to go. Feeling nauseous randomly during the day.

It was awful. I don't think I ever got the GI paralysis but everything definitely slowed down. I miss the blood sugar control, but I'll have to find something else.

No Man's Sky and Cozy Grove mostly. Just got No Man's Sky for the switch, so I'm been learning the ropes and stuff. Still a bit lost, but I think that is kind of the point initially?

Spiritfarer. I don't think I've ever cried harder while playing something than this.

Thank you!!

I thought most of DTE's energy production came from the Fermi-2 nuclear plant?

This happened about 10 years ago. In my job, we have 'slots' that we occupy for our given speciality, so my 'slot' is Engineer. Well I had just gotten my Master of Science in Systems Engineering, and my work had Team Leader System Engineering positions that had to be filled. Seemed perfect for me, the only caveat was I had to bring my 'slot' with me, which means when I left my current group, they would be down a 'slot' and couldn't immediately backfill my position until the got approval for another 'slot'.

So I send my resume over, talk to my immediate supervisor, who was supportive and on board, but I also had to talk to his boss, the manager over the group. He says he would love to support me in my career and my moving up and asked me to describe the job. I did, including telling him I would need to bring my 'slot' with me. Well, his attitude immediately changes and he said no in a very gruff way and told me to get out of his office.

I stop there a minute, and still trying to be optimistic about it, I asked if that because my work and skills would be hard to replace and that is why he is acting that way, and that I would be glad to help train a replacement and maybe even do a part time split between the two teams until my replacement was up to speed.

He looked at me, sighed, and said it had nothing to do with me, he could care less if I left, my work wasn't that stellar, he just didn't want to lose a 'slot'. That really broke my confidence as an engineer and frankly as a person to have this guy just dismiss me and reduce me down to just having physical body on his team. I ended up quitting a few months later. I wish I had some sort of karma follow for that, but I was replaced within a few days. Thank god my bosses boss didn't lose his slot though 🙄

softly ... don't

That's like threatening your doctor when they tell you to maybe lay off the carbs and go get some exercise.

I meant Disney Communities, not instances. Sorry, still trying to get the terminology correct.

Thank you! Honestly I thought I was doing something wrong, but with yours and the other person's response, seems Jerboa is there yet, which, I mean, is totally fine. This is all relatively new. Got spoiled with RiF (RIP). Anyway, I appreciate your response!

Oooooooh! This is awesome thank you!!

must have had a mod chip intalled lol

You are right in that if American society was functioning like a normal rational society, we would acknowledge that the president's son did something wrong, and laud that he is being held to account for his wrong actions.

But, and this is just my guess of course, the right wing groups in America are going to see this as vindication for investigating every Biden and ignoring any Trump or Trump family illicit activities. And if there were evidence of other wrong doing by the Bidens, then by all means they should be investigated.

But this will all be used to either redirect attention away from Trump and his various court dates and activities, or be used to rationalize (more than what is already happening) all of it. Either way the end goal would be to fire up the right wing base, and use it as talking points, whataboutism, and redirection from Trump and his family.

Multiple things can be happening and be investigated at once. But the right wing media and voting base don't want to acknowledge that.

Just downloaded Jebora yesterday and I'm really liking it. I initially tried the lemmy.ml website as my first steps into the fediverse, but was sort of confused on how it all linked together. Jebora was a big help for me in finding instances to follow and just generally making my user experience better overall.

So I second this recommendation.
