Has the Reddit exodus killed the former Lemmy culture?
After blocking most of the meme subs, I find it a pretty nice place.

Boost does have a paid option. It's a $3.49 one time fee to remove ads, which also removes all trackers and data collection.

I (35f) think I need to end my relationship to (35m) but he's in mental health crisis
It sounds like you've made the decision to leave. Can you call his parents and/or friends and share that your concern that he's going to hurt himself? I would make all of your arrangements to leave and then make the call(s). If he is making threats to hurt himself, I would go ahead and call emergency services.

Latinos outnumber non-Hispanic whites in Texas, according to 2022 census
Reply in thread
If you identify as both white and Latino, yes. If you identify as white and Hispanic but not Latino, then no. [In the U.S.]*, Latino is considered a race as well as ethnic identity.

Yes. Supposedly it was Danny Masterson that recruited them. Some of them claim to no longer be involved with the church, but celebrities have been known to lie about that before, likely a church PR move to convince people they're totally not a cult and that people can leave any time.

I've done that a few times. I also quit smoking that way when I ran out of cigs, didn't buy more right away, then forgot to ever buy more. I started back up months later, switched to vaping, then forgot about that too when I moved the vape from it's designated spot to an area of the house I don't frequent.

[AskFinance] How often do you eat out, and does that impact your finances?
About once a week. We're more concerned about the impact on our waist lines than our finances.
One thing we try to do to save money is to order meals for leftovers. As an example, a $14 burger will almost always be one meal, while a $14 Thai curry typically lasts for 3 meals or more. Even within specific restaurants, bowls or plates offer more bang for your buck than sandwich entrees.
We also often roast vegetables or other side dishes in the oven while waiting for delivery, mainly for health but it's also typically cheaper.

I'd rather have a "Would you like to hide all Sports related Content?" button than a "Would you like to hide all NSFW content?" button

Yeah you really have to block the annoying communities. I did have to do that on Reddit too as well though. And subscribe to some nice stuff so you have a good home feed to look at when All isn't working for you.

No, you're right. It would be valid for you to select Latino regardless of skin color. I'm just referring to how the US surveys are often defined. Latino is under race but there's a separate question asking whether you are Latino/Hispanic.

People who keep journals or diaries, do you hand write or type?
I have been typing my journals for over a decade. If you don't have a fondness for handwriting, then it will not make you feel any better. I find it frustrating to write by hand. It's significantly slower than my thoughts, it adds more clutter, it's less convenient, it cramps my hand, and you lose out on the ability to search your notes to help you remember events or check your progress. You don't have to use a fancy journaling app if you don't want to. I just use Google docs.

ADHD and Periods
I have PMDD and dysmenorrhea. My ADHD meds are virtually ineffective during my period, and between the depression, pain, and fatigue, I am not able to get much done at all during my period. I have not responded well to antidepressants or birth control.
There are a few things that somewhat help - exercise, raspberry leaf tea, blackstrap molasses, eating clean, Epsom salt baths, Midol. I still spend the majority of the time glued to the couch with a heatpad. I can sometimes get a few things done with a portable heatpad but still not much.

You have to angle your body such that the water drips straight down and not toward the front. It requires some practice to get the hang of.

Is there a point to seeking a formal diagnosis? Are there any major drawbacks? (Canada)
Reply in thread
Also worth mentioning that if you have ADHD, you get those same protections. Idk how it is in Canada where OP is, but in the US, adult autism evaluations can be hard to obtain and insurance typically will fight coverage but ADHD evaluations are easier and usually covered.
