What are people using instead of Imgur now for image hosting?
I have had a good experience with Post Images so far. The free accounts are more than enough space. And they provide a direct link to the image for posting.

Why do people even want to see the Titanic in person?
I think visiting a part of history really helps a person appreciate what happened. Seeing something in-person is sometimes just so much more of an experience than a video. I personally would be pretty scared to go in a submarine but I can see the appeal to have a unique historical experience.

My daughter kept screaming that she wanted to be pony.
It would behoove her to save her voice, or she might get other problems besides her mane issue.
That one made me blow air through my nose :)

What are the pros and cons of selling plasma?
So I worked at a plasma donation center and in a hospital. I will tell you that the training at the donation place I was at was very brief and you are somewhat practice for many new phlebotomists. I will also say I cared for at least two patients that were hospitalized after people missed their sticks at the donation centers and the patients had infections, pain, and huge vascular issues after that.
That being said many people do it and it turns out just fine. It’s easy money if you can tolerate it. But I would not recommend it, as it can eventually cause scarring to your veins and it may be difficult to start an IV when you are older and actually really need that access site.

What made you pick the Lemmy server you are on?
I found beehaw first, so I started there but then discovered that the admins manage the community creation there. So I made a new account on lemmy.world to mod that, and most browsed with my beehaw account. But then beehaw needed to de-federate from lemmy.world, so I made a vLemmy and lemmy.one accounts so I could interact with both beehaw and lemmy.world.
tl;dr As someone else mentioned, finding a smaller, low-profile instance to have your home account but interacting with other instances seems to be the best approach

Why are so many sites changing their ToS/privacy policies today?
I think the date is because July 1st is the beginning of a new fiscal year for many companies. I’m not sure why they may have changed terms of service, but my guess is that the companies are required to publish updates at the beginning of the fiscal year.

The short answer is: probably not.
I have seen Quest and LabCorp widely used in hospitals. If you look at the bottom of each organization’s page, there should be a credentials or certification that they are each certified through. Search the credentialing agency and see if they are legitimate (with Britannica or other encyclopedia). There may be very small differences in level of accuracy but they generally all have to meet a minimal acceptable standard.

Feature request: dark and light high contrast themes
Reply in thread
Thank you both for the answers. I kind of like the screenshots you sent, even as-is. Just my opinion, but I think it could be released with a (beta) tag and users could give feedback as you research it more. The app is only available as a beta right now, so I would think users understand that things are not 100% polished.

Thank you. It’s not a common acronym; I just didn’t see a way I wanted to shorten it haha.
Outside of this post with the link, people that search “addiction” would probably see the community. I posted essentially this same post in other instances’ chat communities, and made sure this new community was discoverable by lemmy.world, beehaw.org, vlemmy.net, lemmy.one, and kbin.social. I also asked that the mental health community lists this as a “related community.”

Appreciation Post
That’s sad to hear if people truly messaged those things. It’s nice to have a diversity of apps, and the person was spending their free time for the benefit of others. I noticed Mlem isn’t listed on my Test Flight list any more.

why cant i create a community?
Reply in thread
I created a community on vLemmy maybe a couple of days ago on a mobile browser, so it was working at that time. It seems like the last 24 hours or so have been pretty sluggish on a few different instances.m, maybe from the spike in users.
