im(h)o - you aren't missing out on much here. there are plenty of other sites out there to check out anyway 🙂

graniteridge6 said:We really ought to slap a disclaimer on this thread—basically a "proceed at your own risk" notice—to warn anyone prone to seizures or epilepsy to steer clear, for instance 🤣

True that. Honestly, thank God I closed the thread when I did. 😬

(even though I’m still backing the proposal) 🥳)

Austin Harris8 said:Where can I find those rules about partial bans and perma bans? Can someone drop a link? I'd really appreciate it. 😁

It’s mentioned right here -> click.

2) Permanent bans aren't handed out on request. If you're done posting on Reddit, feel free to just log off. Partial bans and temporary suspensions requested by users carry the same weight as admin-issued ones—meaning you can't use alt accounts to bypass them while they're active.

Look, there’s a real distinction between a permanent move and a partial one. Plus, you've got the timing issue—there was a gap between when VB put in for the permanent transfer and when you requested the partial. And don't forget the rule: you can't even ask to pull a partial (let alone a permanent one) until six months have passed, whether it was approved by request or just granted by luck.

🙂

nothing 😬
I’m basically a human rights activist at this point—mostly just posting more emojis on the forum and spreading GIFs across the globe 😛

There’s exactly one "duplicate thread" here. You could've at least skimmed what you linked below before jumping in.

- Adding more smileys
- Let's give them some smileys
- Give us some new smileys
- The lack of smileys
- Smiley

Like the title says—just pick an emoji and tell us why you want it specifically.

- Let's get some emojis

This thread is about having more emojis.

- Give us a new emoji

Thread about an emoji🙂

- The lack of emojis

Thread about an emoji🙂

- Emoji

Thread about an emoji🤦

You get the difference between a thread about an emoji and a thread about the quantity of emojis? 🙂

I mean, I don't think you can even drop a poll if you've lost the ability to edit your original post. If you can still edit the post though, you really should be able to add a poll too 🤔

but hey, mods can pull it off whenever they want 😬

I'm all for it. Honestly, it drives me nuts when someone drops a single sentence and then litters it with ten emojis, but most people don't actually do that. For any decent-sized post, ten emojis feels like a total undersell, especially if you're quoting someone.

(Also, you guys really should've included a poll 😛)

Charles Fox10 said:Exactly. It's not about the PDF files. It's about Politics versus the actual music. Music is fair game.

When they talked about the music, they made it clear they don't want any mention of Marko Perković Thompson tied back to Politics. But honestly, I doubt anyone would be sitting around writing stuff like, "Man, that one song was alright, but the vocals were total garbage."😉

+1 from me too

Honestly, I’m wondering the same thing ☕
I won't get into specific examples because it's not worth being a total snitch right now, but it's pretty funny how my post got nuked within 30 seconds of hitting send (with a warning, obviously), while this other one has been sitting there for days, even though I reported it at least three times. ☕

I’m honestly voting for bringing back the Psychology crew (offline). My second choice would be Azzurra 🥳

🤔

FC Barcelona: ...and man, the trolling would be absolutely legendary. People would lose their minds 😳

Beyond that, I'm drawing a blank 🤔
I actually have way more ideas about who should get kicked out than who should take over, but I probably shouldn't say that here 😳

Since we’re already off-topic...

I think there are a few reasons why people tell patients they need to show up fasting:
1) Because if checking their KKS or cholesterol levels doesn't actually change much for them, and then later a doctor tells them they *don't* need to fast for one test but *do* for another, people get confused. They end up thinking the doctor is just blowing hot and cold, you know?
2) A lot of folks take breakfast pretty seriously, just like > mentioned. My granddad (even though he isn't from the > 😁) eats five eggs and half a sausage every single morning. Every. Single. Morning. Since he was a kid. If his doctor told him, "Hey, you don't have to fast," he wouldn't suddenly switch to some light snack—he'd just go right ahead and eat his standard breakfast
3) You've got Joe going in for one test and Jane going in for another, and they run into each other leaving the clinic. One's told she needs to be fasting, the other isn't, and suddenly there's this total mess of confusion. Neither of them knows what's what anymore, and once again, the doctor looks like an idiot who can't keep his story straight.

Honestly, I don't get why doctors assume everyone should have a medical degree just to understand why one test requires fasting and another doesn't. 🤷

I can't see the Facebook post you're referring to. Paste it here and I'll get to work on it.

Yesterday—June 20th.

Sorry again—hopefully for the last time—for all the headaches and downtime you guys dealt with over the last few days while trying to get onto the site. The New York TimesWe'll have that last hurdle cleared out by the end of the week.
Enjoy the read. Thanks for hanging in there.

Sorry again for all the headaches while trying to get onto our site. We know it's been a mess. A huge apology to everyone calling in from everywhere—from Canada and Canada over to Austria and Sweden, and even all the way out in the US and Australia. Thanks for sticking with us.

Thanks for sticking with us, The New York Times.

And that’s the thing that clears everything up.

Hey everyone,
Sorry if you’re having a hard time getting onto our site right now. We're working on it. The New York Times. Looks like we've been getting hammered by hackers since Saturday. Look, we’re doing everything we can to get this sorted out ASAP so you guys can get back to browsing the site without any more headaches.

So why is it that they never take blood in the afternoon?
And why can't you even go to a private clinic for a blood draw in the afternoon?

😕

Then how is something like blood sugar supposed to stay accurate?

Around here, "professional nails" basically means they have to be clipped short with zero gel or polish on them. They’ve even given girls grief just for having slightly longer natural nails or wearing polish on short ones... I guess the rules change depending on which city you're in.

melloworca6 said:I don't bother with lotions or treatments. Honestly, I feel like putting stuff on my skin actually makes things worse. I’d much rather just jump in a cold shower and call it a day. 😁

My skin is super sensitive too, and I get the exact same reaction after getting waxed... if I try to slather on any kind of cream, it just stings more and feels all tight. So, yeah, I also just stick to a quick rinse
with cold water, stay out of the sun, and just wait a day or two for it to settle down. 😁🙂

Why wouldn't your grandma just wire the cash straight to your account? 🍿

granitemason4 said:User accounts are NOT deleted upon request

And generally speaking, posts are never deleted either. If you're looking to have a single specific post removed, your best bet is to reach out to the moderators of the subforum where it's located.

Plus, they totally have the right to say no. And even if they do pull a post down, someone might have already quoted it, so it basically stays alive anyway..
