    That person is one of the few usernames I consistently recognize here on lemmy as well, consistently has high quality comments and great arguments. Definitely a great person to have here on lemmy, thanks Flyingsquid!

        Because he asked you for a source that one time?

        And he’s the thin-skinned one 💀

          No he made a completely stupid and uninformed comment about guns and when he got corrected he got all pissy. He’s unable to do any research on his own and instead ask for evidence and when it’s presented he gets upset for being dense.

        That’s a bit rude, don’t you think? He’s a person too and reads this comment… How would you feel reading st. like that about you? :/

      100%. This isn’t a dig at all. I just noticed how often I’ve seen their comments and now I can’t not notice it.

      Sorry. I’m just trying to do something with my time until I go to the Mayo Clinic on the 15th. I can leave though. Some people here seem to want me to…

      Edit: Or maybe not the 15th. They lost my appointment. Rescheduled for March 28th. Meanwhile, I’m looking elsewhere.

        Nah thanks for the content, and hope all goes well at the clinic! Keep posting if it helps you

        From what I’ve seen one dude is salty and everyone else (including myself) is happy to have your contributions! I don’t necessarily agree with you on everything you post, but you’re respectful and actually back up what you say. I respect that a hell of a lot more than someone who I’m in complete agreement with, but plugs their ears at the first sign of pushback.

          Thanks. I hate the Reddit squabbling. I wish people could disagree without insults and I won’t take part in it. I also think people should back up their claims. I don’t expect everyone to feel the same way I do, I just wish so many people didn’t.

          You’d have to ask them. I’m definitely not universally loved or anything, but I’m grateful for the appreciation I get.

            No one is universally loved. Everyone brave enough to put themselves out there will have people push back and talk trash. If doing what you do brings you some joy, do your best to ignore them and push on.

        I’m actually worried about you, and your dry-heaving. Lemmy wouldn’t be the same without you so don’t die

          I appreciate it, but I don’t think I’m dying quite yet. And it’s definitely not cancer or anything like that. Honestly, despite all that, I feel fine most of the time. Which is part of what makes it so weird.

            Random question, but do hot showers help? I noticed a while back that you mentioned weed on some comment or other. I once lived with this family who had a woman in her late 50’s who was a chronic (and I mean CHRONIC) user. She was struggling with nausea that was only alieviated by hot showers (idk why she told me this we weren’t close). Turns out there’s a condition:

              I’m afraid there’s nothing for them to help with. Hyperemesis is extremely unlikely. I don’t vomit, I dry heave. And usually only once a day, soon after I get up. And hyperemesis also involves nausea, which I don’t have.

    My first day on Lemmy I saw them multiple times and thought it was a coincidence

    It’s been months now and I realize I’ll see that name until the end of time.

      So it isn’t just me. I commented a while back to FlyingSquid I see them and ThePicardManeuver all over the place.

      The Flying Squid is someone who contributes to Lemmy comment sections a ton. They’re super friendly and also add a lot of discussion. Given the nature of Lemmy being so small though they stand out because they’re often leading discussions. Pretty much just a really good discussion contributor who is super recognizable.
