Would this truly be the suggested set up though? An inflatable pool in your dining room? I used to have hydrotherapy until I found it too difficult to actually get there. They recommended warm baths, not that I DIY one in my house!

~>my twin in the 80s ✅

For anyone unsure when to use I or me, remove the “and X” and see if the sentence makes sense:

My twin and I in the 80s > I in the 80s ❎

Me and my twin in the 80s > me in the 80s ✅

I deleted this comment earlier because name calling/insults are against lemmys rules. I replied to your comment explaining why though, I didn’t just delete it out of the blue. And although I deleted it on the website, I can still see it on the Avelon app with a different mod account so who knows wtf is going on. Still, please don’t insult people, even if you censor your insult.

A couple of years ago someone broke into our house and came into our bedroom looking for stuff to steal. It was pitch dark, he was wearing a dark hoodie and I only saw him from the back. I sensed him more than saw him. I made a waking up noise and he legged it. At the time I was really ill with inflammation in my brain so I thought my mind was playing tricks on me, or my brother had come into my room for some reason so I just went back to sleep. They next day we found some very minor things missing and a bottle of vodka was left downstairs. Our neighbours house had been ransacked. I called the non emergency number just to add what I’d seen to my neighbours report and the dispatcher was incredulous that I hadn’t called at the time, like I couldn’t be more of an idiot. When I explained why, her tone immediately changed to one of “ok crazy lady” and she completely dismissed me. Not exactly reassuring. The times I’ve called in a medical emergency have always been positive though - they calmed me down, talked me through what to do, reassured me I was doing everything I could etc.

I returned it to the supermarket and the checkout lady put it straight in the normal bin in front of me! I was referring to the packaging more though - a box, a leaflet, a sealed plastic bag thingy, plastic labels that have to be removed, a little plastic stopper for the mouth piece. You’re meant to get 600 puffs per vape but every one I tried died after 2 days. That’s a huge amount of waste compared to the one bottle of juice I recycle each month and the coil I throw out every two-three months.

I vape, it’s how I quit smoking. I’d prefer to smoke, but it is the lesser of two evils, and I would encourage anyone who smokes cigarettes to switch. I recently went on holiday, smashed my vape and couldn’t find a replacement. I ended up buying the disposable kind from a supermarket for the first time and I was honestly shocked at how wasteful the are - so much unnecessary plastic that goes straight into the bin. But I was more shocked by how clearly geared towards children the disposable kind are - the bright colours, the flashy lights, the super sweet flavours, the high nicotine content. The one I bought was called YOLO ffs.

You see this way of thinking about poor and disabled people too, as if being unfortunate enough to require government assistance means you lose your agency too.

I rate estate agents slightly higher - not everyone wants to or can show people around their home. And I suppose they can help you navigate the legal parts of the process (I’m just guessing here, I’ve never owned property). But there is absolutely no need for recruitment agents for anything but the most niche situations. The job could disappear tomorrow and nothing would be lost.

I see your point, but lemmy has a no doxxing rule regardless of how much an individual might deserve it.
