I feel like with rampant bot/AI posting the traffic into social media sites are being spoofed. And companies know this and allow it to happen because it will inflate the ad value and then the stock value. Is this true to an extent or is this taken into account?

Been on a theology kick for the past year and looking to read more into the philosophy because that’s the interesting part for me. I would say I’m not a beginner but not an intermediate. Would love some recommendations

I’m trying to get into streak running, but when I get hit with a day that has terrible weather (ice rain, smoke from Canada being on fire, etc) I am unsure what to do. And I don’t own a treadmill or have a gym membership. Do you just have very specific gear for those days or what? Any motivation tips and gear tips?

I have a few takes. Best support will be Shadow demon, skill build will be 4-4-0. His Q does a shit ton of damage especially when paired with W even in lane and he scales incredibly well. Give it a try. Chen and SS are still incredibly strong of course and are very easy to play. Best offlane I’m seeing rn is sandking. Item changes really really helped him. Best mid will be hard to say, but I’m thinking we’re in for a Lina, OD, and clinkz patch. Really no idea about pos 1 because I don’t play it

So after going from 9.5k behavior score to 11k damn people at 9.5k are WAY nicer. At 11k people seem to think because they have some to spare they can be cunts again. Just my experience lemme know if you had similar. Also also: they should add better rewards for being above 10k. Like when you need role queue points you get 6 for wins and 4 for losses. Sure this wouldn’t be helpful for high immortals but fuck them for being good at the game! /s

Sup. Foreword: I know being eco friendly isn’t for everyone whether it’s beliefs or pricing, but these are some tips regardless! 1. Reusable bottles of course. This one is basically standard and I don’t think many people these days use disposable ones when working out. This will save money and the environment! I personally like and recommend the flip belt and flip belt bottles, they work for me. Farthest I’ve ran is 4 miles, might be different for higher mileage. 2. Those rehydration drinks. Stuff like Gatorade in bottles try to avoid! Use the Gatorade powder or your preferred powder brand. Sometimes powders come in tiny plastic packets, try to find big bulk ones like Gatorade. 3. I’m sure there’s eco friendly outfit brands share some if you know and like them! 4. Any other tips for people looking to reduce their impact on the environment share them! As there is a foreword now there is a backward: I know the impact us individuals have is minimal compared to mega corps, but anything is better than nothing! Have a good day and I hope your runs continue to be injury free 😁

OCD qooqie • 1 year ago • 100%

Hello all, I’ve come with info about medications. First off, do not settle for a med provider who is not a psychiatrist, you NEED a psychiatrist. So one thing is if you have not taken or tried Prozac (fluoxetine), you probably should it’s the first line SSRI for OCD. Some family docs or whatever you are using if it’s not a psychiatrist might give you sertraline first because it’s a safe option. That is the wrong drug to try first, Prozac should be the first thing to try (it is first line). I had an NP prescribe me sertraline and never even thought to try Prozac. I kept asking to see a psychiatrist until they finally fit me in, and my meds were completely fucked up. My meds are now getting fixed by this psychiatrist and I feel WAY better. This is why I keep saying to get a psychiatrist, I think it’s super important for us for recovery. Here’s me saying it again: meds for OCD are complicated, you don’t just have anxiety, you have OCD, get a psychiatrist and don’t stop pestering them until you get one. SSRIs has a side effect that is super common. The one I want to tell you about is usually misunderstood. People usually say it kills your libido and you’ll have no sex drive. SSRIs don’t kill your libido, they make it hard to finish. Another thing that is important to know about SSRIs that might not be communicated well is that it takes roughly 1-2 months for the medication to build up and start working. This fucking sucks, but you can do it I fully believe in you, whoever you are. This is some stuff I’ve learned that I wanted to pass on. Again meds are complicated and meds might take some trial and error not everyone is the same, get a psychiatrist. There is hope I mean it, please please please don’t lose hope.

Linux qooqie • 1 year ago • 91%

With the new computer and the newer Microsoft Windows updates they have really jam packed their OS with bloat and spyware. That being said I have no idea what I’m doing with Linux, need help with where to start.? What are some general tips? I understand there’s a lot of prebuilt Linux distributions or something what are some first timer friendly ones? Really any help is appreciated because the biggest barrier to entry is the perceived difficulty of actually doing it.

I’m going to list some tips, if other people want to add feel free. 1. Get a diagnosis from a professional 2. Make sure your med provider is a psychiatrist this is extremely important as NPs are using their union to force through strange legislation. 3. Take your meds, they will help. And if they don’t, tell your psychiatrist there are always options. 4. Make sure your therapist of choice knows how to actually treat OCD. The current gold standard is ERP. 5. Know you aren’t unique, there are themes because everyone always falls under one or more of those umbrellas. 6. Know you will get better and stay hopeful. Thanks my spiel for the first post in the community. Stay safe guys and I’m rooting for you.

I can’t equip the custom effect

Dota 2 qooqie • 1 year ago • 88%

Example: pos 5 for me is Chen and oracle, pos 4 is techies and earth spirit, pos 3 is beast master and earth spirit. Highly recommend also actually playing your role so the games aren’t miserable for you and others. If 2 is too many choices just choose 1 per role.

Example I think lemmy.world has more sorting features compared to other servers and different software I also assume. So how does that work when communicating with other servers that don’t have code as sophisticated or lack certain features?

Diablo qooqie • 1 year ago • 95%

I have a feeling that inarius will be rebirthed as a new incarnation of hatred that we potentially saw in those flashes after the credits. Between him and Lilith he was the one who had true hatred for sanctuary whereas Lilith only had (maybe) love of some sort and only seemed to hate the eternal conflict. Also in the prophecy Lilith is also explained to be pierced by a spear of light well, you can take that very literally as the spear inarius held or (as he belonged in hell and the spear was held with greed/hatred more of a darkness spear if you will) she is to be reincarnated in heaven as an archangel of some sort. Just my thoughts I think it would have very cool implications if they swapped places in the eternal conflict.

I feel like lemmy is actually really amazing and has a lot of smart discussion happening instead of the constant circlejerking that happens on Reddit. I also feel the community here is a lot more hopeful/helpful! That’s all, thanks for reading 😄
