So went to the ear doctor to get it checked out, they had a look and did some tests and said my hearing was fine. They said it could be a muscle or something else related, didnt mention anything to me about I still have the "swooshing" sound in my ear, which seems to be more noticeable depending which way i move my head etc. So could it still be or something else
Day 3 of a horrible flair, yesterday was in the ER to get iv fluids. Sadly those didn't help, got tested for covid and the flu etc and have none of those. I'm so incredibly dizzy and lightheaded when not laying down. Double vision and my heart rate and blood pressure are everywhere. So my boyfriend took today off from work cause I have a dentist appointment and didn't feel safe driving. Can't wait to see how this goes, hopefully I don't pass out on my dentist. When I got my cortizone shot for my shoulder I passed out now I'm terrified it will be a common occurrence with medical stuff.

There is such a thing as not feeding the bad wolf in context of the most morally abhorrent things. The way I look at it, if you condemn people to hell, they'll give it back.
how did you get out of the US
Asking for myself. I'm worried we'll be pariahs wherever we go because our fellow countrymen voted in orange Hitler.
What are the options I'm researching now. The soonest we can leave is roughly a year from now.
welcomed. (Unless it's "advice" that I stay here or something about being a snowflake, because that's an instant block.)
I just want to know, in practical terms, what the path out is and what others have had experience with in terms of getting out.
So my retired aunt and uncle asked if they should leave the country. Americans back home, what are your thoughts Context: They live in Florida, are white, are pretty standard Democrats (i.e. not radical in any way), atheist, cis.

A quotation from Wilcox, Ella Wheeler:
It is impossible to pursue a successful literary career and follow the advice of all ones best friends. I have received severe censure from my orthodox friends for writing liberal verses. My liberal friends condemn my devout and religious poems as aiding superstition. My early temperance verses were pronou
Full quote, sourcing, notes:
Goes without saying, in light of the US election results. The power of truth goes a long way. And it's an unstoppable power. You can find solace in that.
If rights are taken away, take theirs first. These sort of actions cannot be forgiven. The same applies to the opposite side if there is somehow any truth in that.
Mental gymnastics is the lowest point of argument/debate.
When ever you dismantle an argument or faade, people will jump to the next 'best' thing, or worst as I see it.
Which is where the gymnastics come in.
But I guarantee you, if they're in the wrong, there's absolutely nothing they can do if you say this:
"Demonstrate your point." That's when you know when you've either won or lost an argument. Those who understand will be able to demonstrate, those who don't, will fall to the lowest point and rely on any tactic but the reliable one.
In light of the political situation in the US, it's important to remember that no matter who's voted in, it's often built on lies. And moral atrocities stay as moral atrocities, that will be remembered and held against people.
I know in the UK here, we had the far right as government for over 10 years, and luckily nothing too bad happened to memory, until Covid anyway. Where they essentially committed genocide. That is literally the worst case scenario. This can easily happen again thanks to animal agriculture.
So yes, the scaremongering is real, this Project 2025 is something that likely won't happen because of how absurd it is, it's literally a script of baseless claims with no demonstrable evidence or reasoning. But regardless, you should always prepare for the worst.
Tech savvy advice of the day ! Did you check if your PC's vents were dust clogged
Let your machine breathe ! Better airflow, lower temperatures, improved performance/efficiency !
Don't let other people's choices dictate your own.
I know life can be tough, especially in a minority. But if the majority are doing something inherently bad, don't stoop to their lows.

One of the most accurate ways to describe and even the more controversial paraphilias/fetishes is with the shape toys, because these are the lows we have to use to describe it to people who don't understand or conflate/strawman then with each other.
Circle, square and star holes.
Let's say you got your gender preferred sexuality as a circle.
You got paraphilias as a square.
Finally you got fetishes as the star.
Now try to group them.
You can't.
Do you know why
Because they're separate things. They're not linked. They belong to their respective categories and nothing else. I can't believe this has to be explained. Like if somehow people attracted to men are 'pedophiles', then so too are straight people, so too are people with a foot fetish. The point is, they're not the same thing.
Nerds! This old house has a lot of interior walls that used to be exterior walls, HVAC in some unfortunate places, and an internet connection coming from down in the scary basement. It's giving me a lot of wifi dead spots. Any recommendations on choosing between:
1) Crafty running of coax to get the router to a better spot
2) Wifi repeaters
3) Powerline extenders
4) Mesh networks
I work from home, so it's important that this function correctly and reliably.

One of the harsh realities about living with physical/mental disabilities I suppose is the fact that they're not always compatible with each other (Even other people). Even with something like being on the autism spectrum or having ADHD or schizophrenia, there are always going to be issues. Though the conflict arises more in able bodied folk, it exists too in the not so abled.
Which often begs the question, would we be better without disabilities
As of the here and now, I stand with disabilities. Because it is the only path forward at the moment. The more we try to understand and accept them, the less weight there is off our shoulders, and the less selfish we are in turn.
So it is important to acknowledge this with not only a present point of view, but a future one too. If there are no advancements in going into the future, we need to create them now.
Hello, makers and crafters and engineers and anyone else who can help.
How to preserve this
I have... let's say "liberated"... a sign that was on the side of the road in my small town for a few years, and was eventually pulled down or fell down.
Right when the pandemic started (IIRC) this rusted sign got sprayed with the word "HOPE". Nothing else, just that word. It was visible in a little greenspace between the two tiny towns here. It was on a 10-foot (ish) post next to decommissioned train tracks parallel to the road. I tried to photograph it several times but never really captured it. This sign is meaningful to me.
It fell down or was taken down (suspiciously, right when the state police built a station across the road, though it maybe just fell down). That was almost two years ago.
Tonight I brought it home. It is now my baby. I want to preserve and enhance the "HOPE" graffiti, which has faded in the months sitting in the grass.
the sign is an old slab of steel (maybe 3/16" (4-5mm) thick IDK, it weighs at least 40 lbs/18kg). Very rusted, but also solid.
How to preserve this message I'd prefer to simply highlight what is there, not repaint anything. Any ideas

If you never fight the battles you can still win, you won't taste victory.
Whilst that sounds like some cheesy war quote (probably Sun Tzu said that first), it's actually a great piece of advice for life.
Overwhelming odds are easy to get scared of and even give up for. But I would argue there's more bitterness in that than trying to succeed.
This applies to human rights. This applies to animal rights. It applies to the whole fucking universe, inside and outside human comprehension.
An appeal to popularity/tradition/authority tends to fail. Because it is often inherently flawed and self-defeating.
