Thank you for that reference! I did think it was a poor reasoning for US to say “you’re distributing pirated material” versus their response of “it’s the users who are distributing it”. I’ll look more into the SCOTUS case

Definitely lol but NZ didn’t have a cause to arrest/charge them which is what I originally believed had happened

I just made like 3 accounts because I thought I was doing something wrong lol

Yes!! I’ve also found myself actually reading articles that are posted rather than just skimming headlines because people actually seem to want to engage beyond the same few points that were repeatedly made on Reddit

The imagery of the body highlighting different parts and then the table showing nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs for those parts was so well done

It looks like they were charged in the US. I didn’t see with what specifically but the US sentenced them to prison for about a year and they elected to do their prison sentence in NZ (which is allowing one of them to wait until the birth of their child before beginning their sentence). It looks like NZ’s role in this isn’t harmful (besides allowing foreign search of their home)

That’s so funny. I deleted my app - what’s happening on the other side?

Can someone who follows Twitch more closely explain the history twitch has with the creators on the platform?

Looks beautiful!! Do you have a crumb shot?

Adding to this - is there a search function like on the browser?

Oh wow! Beautiful! What a find

I’m sorry about your back/hip pain :( I’m just a medical student so take this advice with a grain of salt:

Can you describe the pain more? Does it radiate anywhere? Is it worse with more physical activity? Or any particular time of day? Do pain meds help? Also general info about your background - med history, family history, physical activity level, history of present illness (what started it, what you’ve tried etc)

Generally the recommended treatment for low back pain is conservative (pain meds, physical therapy) for about 6 months. So for myself I usually do NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen), gentle stretching (google lower back/hip stretching), and water.

Yes exactly! I follow (and stumble upon) some wonderful people who are sharing their knowledge, experiences, etc. it’s another great source of community and education

Yes!! Also to add - Libby is a great app for free audiobooks through your library

I’ve been learning more about human trafficking and it just makes me more mad about how blatantly Tate bragged about doing this awful thing to all these people and thinks he’s above the law. I can’t believe he still has fans

I have adhd and have a bad habit of starting lots of books and only finishing a few. Currently reading for fun:

• recursion by Blake crouch,
• escape room by Megan goldin,
• and the 2000s made me gay by grace perry.

I also keep some educational books around that I’ll pick up and read maybe once a week:

• liberator psychiatry (an academic book with a few authors can’t remember rn)
• the burning by Tim Madigan
• there’s another essay book I’m reading about asylums but I can’t remember the name nor author. It’s meh so far

I deleted Apollo when the blackout started and haven’t used Reddit since. But I’m in med school and should be getting results of step 1 tomorrow 😞 normally I’d be doomscrolling r/step1 and there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent yet. So for anyone reading this: 😭

Not exactly a fav but I’ll always remember when Omegle was brand new. It was before they had video and it wasn’t full of bots. I was probably around 11 or 12 and I had a convo with someone I vehemently disagreed with some or other topic about. We were friendly tho and continued talking on AIM (friendly, never more) and at some point family came up and he explained how things that my father had done to me was abuse and showed me rainn.org. It was such a huge revelation ofc and led to me telling my family and getting my dad prosecuted. That’s why I like discord sometimes I get that old feeling of genuine convo.

Thank you!
