Comcast says it represents a 10 Gigabit cable internet network they are building (it doesn’t exist) so they are basically changing the meaning of the g from generation to gig to act like 10g is 5 generations better (or twice as fast)…or that they have a 10 gigabit network. Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable internet that people have to use because they have no other option.

Fuck Comcast.

I read online they are abandoning the “confusing” 10g branding but I just saw a commercial for it. They think all of their customers are morons and count on folks having no other choices in a lot of cases.

Apologies to anyone outside the United States, this is just complaining about our poor internet options and deceptive advertising by greedy corporations.

That thing where you put on a fresh pair of socks and one has a hole so you think well I went to all that trouble to pull it on, this will be your last day little buddy, I’ll just throw it away after I wear it today.

Last chance underwear happen now and again as well but I guess it depends on where the hole is.

What does this mean, if anything? How would it be possible for a car company to be carbon neutral? Is this just nonsense/posturing since it’s so long from now?

Update…Per Microsoft’s instructions, disabled all tracking protections in Safari and requested desktop mode and it works. Their instructions say turn protections back on after using teams… 😐

Funny enough it works in Safari and not Edge…tho that may be Apple’s fault since all browsers are somewhat just versions of Safari, last I heard…

Posting this separate after my comment became so long…

I’m having a general panic that my 15 year old daughter does not need me at all and I do not factor into her life whatsoever. Try to speak to her and she teases me and brushes me off. Her girlfriend wrote my wife a lovely note how she and my son are so lucky to have a mother who cares about them so much. No mention or even nod to the fact that I exist. We parent as a team…the way she is raised and all of the love and support she gets is 50/50 in my opinion, although my wife has the direct conversations about relationships, sex, girl stuff because she doesn’t want to talk to me about that.

I suffered emotionally as a kid/teen and I have fought to get her therapy and medication, she went from being anxious beyond belief with suicidal ideation to pretty fucking happy nowadays…and that’s because I fought for that, based on my experience. I’ve given her the support I wish I had.

Anyway, I hope it’s just a phase and she will talk to me again someday without giggling like I’m just a weirdo. I know what it’s like to be a teenager, I have a lot of wisdom. I love the shit out of her. I hope it passes and we are super close again at some point.

Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding members of society for sure. I guess all some people know is the sensationalized drugs and sex. A person died. This is a tragedy for an event that brings positivity into the world. Kind of annoyed.

I’ve been working on trauma recovery this year and decided to implement a mindfulness habit of stopping 3 times a day and just noticing what my body is feeling. This is a somatic exercise for CPTSD because when you pay attention to what your body is feeling you can train it to process physical reactions such as fight or flight instinct…then your nervous system can learn to react in a healthy way instead of the reactions festering into anxiety, depression, feeling numb.

Anyway…so I added reminders and tracking through streaks and finally settled on using Day One for this activity since I can pull out my phone to do it or do it on the iPad or computer…or even at work by sending an email. In the past few years I have tried off and on paper journals, Wordpress and Day One…my handwriting is terrible and my hands are getting more stiff in my mid 40s. I’m worried that Wordpress will go down someday and I’ll lose all my old stuff.

I created a second journal in Day One called daily feelings and just freeform such as typing what I’m experiencing my body…my wife got annoyed because I told her the wrong day for a meeting…my lungs feel hot…and sometimes summarize a day or some thoughts on goals and successes. Writing helps me process.

Sometimes a quick post becomes a longer post so I move it to the longer post.

So yeah not sure this is a bullet journal…you tell me?

TL;DR - been battling weight my entire life, starting Vyvanse for help with binge eating

I’m here because I broke up with Reddit and there is no Lemmy community specifically for binge eating yet… I wanted to stop in and share. I’ve battled weight all of my life to different degrees of success. Most recently I’ve been confronting trauma and binge eating related to trauma. I think I’m at the point where I can have success on my own but I have thought that many times…so at my last physical I talked to my doctor about getting on something to help me with weight loss and appetite.

At this point, I’m 43 and even if something has some side effects or negative effects it would be worth it over losing years of my life by staying too heavy. Because I first talked to my doctor about what I believe is behind it all…binge-eating as self-numbing related to trauma…she suggested trying Vyvanse first rather than Wegovy or Ozempic because it doesn’t have the same side effects and has been shown to help specifically with binge eating as an appetite suppressant.

I’m ready to do the work, I know I can’t just try to take something and not try, and excited for weeks and months to come. I have found success at different points in my life using LoseIt for calorie counting and exercise…that’s the goal now with a little help.

Wish me luck. See you around lemmy loseits :)
