  • I gave it up once I realized it wasn’t for human connections anymore around 2018 or so. I remade an account with a fake name in 2020 when marketplace became undeniably big in America

  • It is still healthier than the damage sugar does to your metabolism. Sugar in its modern form doesn’t really serve a great purpose and basically only introduces inflammation. Sweeteners can get around this but I believe evidence supports that the “sweet” feeling still illicits some sort of physiological response with the metabolism. Still, it’s better to get only natural sugars in our food and use a light sweetener to help replace sugar. Over the years I’ve discovered I only like certain brands of stevia based flavor squirts. When I tried powderized stevia, I found the major brands used gross filler and had a bad aftertaste. Even Stevia in the Raw still has an organic option that uses sugar to bond the powder instead of the filler. I think it takes a lot of discovery and exploration. Sometimes, it also requires some Stockholm syndrome to finish whatever supply you wasted money on lol

  • Yes, our US hotel industry has mostly been monopolized by Wyndham and a few other companies. They all build large hotels with the same layout. If you try and go under that price point you get stuck with motels, which have mostly been phased out by our culture from taboo & cleanliness anecdotes. Definitely a far fetch from the experience in Europe and other places. The closest we get is Airbnb like set-ups of personal homes rented out.

  • Can’t believe they are following through with releasing this. They will cancel complete looney tune movies but not one as problematic at this? I figured this project was done before post even started

  • Well I certainly understand the pros of this but is training your kid to have a dopamine response everytime a notification comes in and buzzes their arm is dangerous, no? It’s like training the kid to always want that feeling for the rest of their life

  • I tried stevia in certain forms and discovered that many companies use nasty fillers. Do your best to notice and avoid. It takes a lot of searching to find the right sweetener/brand of choice but I’ve noticed they can vary wildly in taste. If you get burnt by one, try a totally different brand or two before swearing it off (annoying but worth it in the long run once one hits right)

  • Others have mentioned it but I want to double down! I was addicted to soda from 13-25 and I have lost a lot of teeth because of it. Sodastream helped me kick it. It’s much cheaper to maintain and using less acidic waters since you can just use your tap water (or whatever water you want) and has zero sugar. I buy liquid water flavors from Aldi that use stevia for sweetening. 100% the bubbles and they can taste a lot more than the la croix stuff. Put in as much or little flavor as you want. Combine dark cherry and vanilla for a pretty good cola taste too. Zero calories, no gunk on teeth, cost about $22 USD to maintain carbonation of the sodastream and I drink like 2-5 liters of the stuff a day. Good luck! Sugar is one of the hardest addictions out there and big cola makes sure the alternatives are expensive or taste bad. You can do this! The effects of that acidic soda and water on your body overtime does nothing but DAMAGE. love yourself!

    Recommendation Self Hosting Blog

    Hi everyone, I am running truenas scale on a modest home NAS. I have got some of my services tunneling to some subdomains via cloud flare zero trust and it seems to be fine. I am looking for advice on how to self host a blog and if I can continue that same method. It would be great to run it to the main domain instead of a sub domain, but honestly I don’t care too much. I expect none to very little traffic. I am looking for an app that I can run relatively easy and makes blogging for myself (images + text) as frictionless as possible. I am having trouble finding a guide for this and any that I do are on running much older versions of truenas scale.

    I have heard good things about Ghost but couldn’t get it installed properly. Is Wordpress my best bet? I read somewhere that it can be sketchy opening up Wordpress to the internet so I am apprehensive. Any advice?

    Privately Share Photo Albums?

    Hi all, this is my first post on Lemmy so I apologize if I get the formatting wrong. I am a tech nerd with just enough knowledge to follow YouTube tutorials but never truly understand what I’m doing. I recently created my own truenas scale server using an Aoostar R7 case. I am becoming a dad very soon and my wife and I are looking for ways to share photos of our baby without selling her and biometrics to the big cloud in the sky. The idea of my future daughter being tracked without her consent since birth is really gross to me.

    I am wondering if there is a good, relatively simple and friendly way to share photo albums with relatives (normies) that is private and perhaps temporary. Ideally, I could share a private/unlisted link of sorts. I do have an instance of Immich and tunneled it to a web url but I don’t know if it can share with outside users easily.

    There are a few public iOS apps that I believe do this but I don’t trust their servers/privacy policies. Any ideas that aren’t a
