Are you sure you’re not really asking if lying is good or bad? To me that’s an important distinction that should be addressed.

My kids used to believe in Santa and the Tooth Fairy. I perpetuated those lies because it was fun for everyone, and the boys enjoyed it. Now they’re older and know better, and they understand both sides. They were not hurt or upset.

But if I know my friend’s wife is cheating on him, and I don’t say anything to him, then obviously that’s bad and my friend would be devastated even more to find out I withheld such important information.

We often conflate “not telling lies” with “all lies are bad”, and that’s not always true.

There is no second date because YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH:ii:ss'Z' is the only acceptable date.

I really needed this laugh today. Thank you!

Slightly pedantic, but according to core-utils GitHub, false.c has not been changed in 21 years. But true.c, which is what false.c is based on, has been changed as recent as 4 months ago.

No one likes a bragger. 😤

Can confirm: my youngest son would most definitely do this.

Be wary that high bitrate 4K media may cause issues with playback buffering.

This could be Jellyfin, AppleTV, or it could be network/storage related (due to needing high speed data transfer).

I second using the Infuse app for playback. It works wonderfully!

Best comment of this entire thread! 🏆

I understand. It is costly. I use it because of its potency and other ingredients. But I am open to suggestions for better products.

LMNT is awesome! Mango chili low key scares me. 😂

🤷‍♂️

Maybe? Maybe not. It’s expensive to test for, and cheaper to treat the symptoms. And I can monitor my vitals myself.

Okay, slightly exaggerated. More like I stopped peeing as frequently.

Salt causes water retention.

I’ve found that once I increased my salt intake (along with my water intake) my brain fog, dizziness, exhaustion, and pee went away.

Here’s my take: therapy only works if you give yourself over to it. That is to say, you have to be committed to take the advice that your therapist gives you, regardless of whether or not you (in the moment) believe it or not*.

You also have the right, and expectation, to push back. But, you have to do it in good faith. If you do the work, and take their advice, and it genuinely isn’t working for you no matter ho hard you try, tell them it isn’t working and what you’ve done.

I’ve been in therapy for almost 3 years now. It’s done wonders. But it’s been a long, difficult, and often painful journey. My therapist and I have had our moments. It happens. But we both kept at it, and I actually feel like a “normal” person for once.

Also: if you genuinely feel like you’re not connecting with your therapist, then don’t be shy about it. Let them know, and go find someone else. Don’t settle for someone just because you think you can’t do better or that you don’t deserve better.

* Obviously don’t do anything that would cause you or others harm.

I was making a joke about how the email was dated back in August 2025, and how it’s being posted now (for April Fool’s Day). The comparison being that the email talked about waiting on IPv6 adoption since 1998.

But you’re right that using IPv4 locally makes sense. Ain’t no way I’m trying to remember a 128-bit address.

Kinda like ipv6 adoption, huh?

This is what Apple translate had to say:

As someone with violent celiacs disease, i can appreciate the allure of something that could cure or alleviate a genuine gluten allergy. It would be absolutely amazing if it were to ever happen.

But anything coming out of this guy’s mouth is poison, and should be treated as such.
