Good start but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping for more.

My family is all in the States and told them I would not visiting for the foreseeable future and encouraged them to write their representatives about how their government’s actions are affecting their family life.

What is this from?

Curse of Monkey Island.

Oh my gods those effects.

There is no if. He’s serious.

Mumble does not look like a replacement for all the things I use Discord for.

So comment your dissenting opinion instead of just downvoting with no further context.

I have over 600 hours in Anno 1800 and highly recommend it buuuut I would advise people consider the more expensive edition that includes all the expansions.

Personally, Discord has facilitated a long distance relationship with my now wife, and nearly ten years of weekly TTRPG games. I don’t mind the cost because they cannot provide that service for free forever, and I think it’s worth it for what I get out of it. The other benefits they add for paying are almost just bonuses to me after that.

That’s not a dilemma for atheists because atheists aren’t the ones claiming there’s an omnipotent being guiding everything.

Also, you can be both an atheist and an agnostic. They cover different things. I’m fairly certain you’d consider yourself an atheist in regards to the sun god Ra.

Big mood.

All modern cars crumple and that’s a good thing.

“style”, in terms of composition, is actually a component in proving plagiarism.

Everyone paying attention.

Trump does thing he campaigned on and specifically said he would do.

I think that you may want to take a break from Lemmy and cool off. I’m sorry that you didn’t get what you wanted out of this post but try coming back to it with a fresh perspective later. I hope things get better for you.

The reason I suggested it is because it sounded similar to my situation and seeking treatment has made things so much better. Of course, I could be totally wrong about what the cause is, but I can assure you it’s not normal and something is behind this.

My father choked a lot, and two of my siblings have some difficulty swallowing, and I had it the worst, choked on food lots and lots, like feared I was going to die sometimes. I finally got it checked out and I had a REALLY restricted esophagus due to EoE.

They stretched my esophagus out (I actually will be going back in for another stretch because they couldn’t do it all in one go, that’s how bad it was). Eating has been soooooo much better ever since.

Because it specifically has a genetic component, that’s why I suggested it based on what you’ve said. It’s a fairly newish disorder (in terms of discovery/definition) so not a lot of people have heard of it but it’s not that uncommon.

Your family should get checked out for EoE. It has a genetic link.

I’m not a father and I never intend to be one, and I think it’s great that you’re taking paternity leave.
