    Self-control is a strength, but being too good at discipline can backfire

  • I think you are misunderstanding the goal of this. The article says that men "are less likely to ask doctors for help with a range of symptoms". Addressing this is a part of addressing toxic masculinity and historic inequities, and a part of the broader work of finding the appropriate healthcare intervention for each person instead of the traditional one size fits all approach.

    I would rather that men go to doctors for health advice instead of trying to fix it on their own, or worse, going to online influencers for advice. Figuring out why that happens is a step towards changing it for the better. If this work actually produces results, it will be good for both men and women.

  • I had the same issue, I set it to 110% on my phone. It would be cool if someone put together a guide on common configurations to help it match other apps.

  • There is disagreement and outdated advice on what to do / not to do. First aid is time-sensitive so having a discussion about updated guidelines can be helpful :)

  • Would it be possible to slowly build a whitelist for users that you confirm are legitimate?

    For context, I subscribe to web comics through RSS feeds, and sometimes I'll sit down to look through the feed and then schedule out posts for the few good ones. I can totally keep it to the 2 posts per day limit, but I'm worried that I might forget one day in the future. It's hard to keep track of community specific posting rules 😅

    I totally understand if the extra posts get removed, this is more about not getting banned by an automated system.

  • Can you reach out to admins on any instance that the accounts are made on? Vote manipulation should be an easy instant ban. Putting together a list of accounts would help the instance admins figure out a pattern.

  • Ski mountaineering is making its Winter Olympics debut at Milano Cortina 2026

    Jump

  • Definitely!

    Olympic events seem to standardize the events as much as possible for easy and accurate judging. I'll have to check out some non-olympic competitions for this sport to see what they are like. Since yea, I also want to see people making those calls and finding interesting ways to get around obstacles in a forest or other complex setting.

  • That sounds rough for people who don't have a smartphone, if you forget it somewhere, if it's out of power, etc

  • IMO both should be in the games.

    I didn't know as much about skimo before, but after watching an event I do see it as a serious sport. It might also be a thing for military/search and rescue type tasks, but I can't find a good source for that

  • In Vancouver, I almost always see both a physical machine and the app/website options.

    It might even be helpful to do away with QR codes altogether and slowly teach people to not scan random QR codes when paying.

    A sign saying "Watch out for scams, do not scan any QR codes" + a visual 🚫 symbol would make it a lot harder for these scams to work
