What does this even mean? The proportion of gen z trump voters was way lower than millennial trump voters in 2024

Regardless these arbitrary generational divisions are worse than meaningless

? There are treatments for osteoporosis. They're called bisphosphonates. And bone density screenings are routine in older women. Am I missing something?

Not a vegan but if you think what happens to cows is a medical "treatment" then you are a dumbass

My guy if you use that phone for anything remotely sensitive you should get a new one. It hasn't received security updates in over 2 years. The 8a is about $200 refurbished with 6 more years of updates and you won't notice the bump if you use a case.

It does in fact work with GOS. I don't believe this build has been released yet though so you likely still need to toggle it on in the dev settings.

Or even easier would be something like https://winboat.app/

Yes. It's truly infurating how non car owners are forced to subsidize the ever loving shit out pretty much every aspect of car ownership, and then ignorant car brains have the nerve to complain about a small parking fee or gas prices, all while their mode of transportation is pretty much uniquely responsible for unimaginable death, injury, and ecological destruction.

Yeah this sounds pretty believable to me there's a lot of shitty therapists

finally made a lemmy account just to downvote you. don't fucking do whippets they can paralyze you for life. I've seen it. And dentists use it because they have years of training and proper equipment and they understand the risks (unlike you clearly).

Generations do have voting habits though

What you mean to say is simply that environment influences behavior. "Generations" are just arbitrary buckets that reinforce stereotypes and create division. A young gen x person likely has a lot more in common with an old millennial than an old gen x person.

Generally speaking people who need mental health help are going to be more easily discouraged by a negative interaction than the general population even if they can afford therapy in the first place. In the US at least there's also a shortage of therapists, meaning you might have to wait a long time to see anyone at all. And in my experience there are a lot more bad therapists than good ones (though assholes of this level are probably rare).

Honestly if it were me I'd just save myself the trouble, read a book on CBT and get some antidepressants. But that doesn't work for everyone.

GOS already confirmed it's shipping with a flagship snapdragon SOC so it won't be a budget device. Maybe a future model though.

I think most of those other features are a long shot as well. The GOS team hasn't really specified any preferences for non-security related features and I doubt Motorola would suddenly change their hardware design/direction.

Unfortunately the first device from this partnership is unlikely to be cheaper than the a series Pixel lineup. The GrapheneOS team already confirmed it will have a flagship snapdragon SOC. Have you looked into used a series Pixel devices? The 8a can be had refurbished in the low $200 range, and it will have software support for 5 more years. The 9a can be had for about $250 and will receive 6 more years of updates.

Chicago city policy is that 911 is the number to call if illegally parked cars are blocking traffic so they can send out a dispatch. Calling the police is literally the correct answer.

Only 29 US states require a front plate

The most that came from it was learning I had celiac disease

Well that is kind of a big deal lol. You may already know all this but celiac causes malnutrition as well as direct symptoms.

Iron deficiency from gut malabsorption can cause pretty significant fatigue, malaise, mood issues, and other problems. The criteria for determining what is considered iron deficiency have recently changed as well so that a LOT more people are considered deficient compared to before, and not all docs are up to date yet. Assuming you're an otherwise healthy person, you'd probably want to have a ferritin (iron stores) of at least 50 ng/mL but ideally around 100 ng/mL if you're symptomatic. There are several other vitamins that are commonly deficient in celiac as well.

Interesting podcast on this subject: https://srslywrong.com/podcast/ep-346-does-parenting-make-you-more-conservative/

The conclusion they come to is that becoming more conservative with age generally only applies to low information apolitical people who are sort of vaguely left leaning when they're young. As they age they become more entrenched in the system, acquire more wealth, etc, and those vaguely conservative ideas they had in the back of their minds become more pronounced. There's also the overton window shifts that may mean someone who thought of themselves as vaguely liberal in the past may now consider themselves socially conservative in the current climate.

HW is mid at best and overpriced

GOS has strict security requirements and so far Pixels have been the only devices out there that both allow GOS installation and meet their security requirements. Simple as.

Personally apart from repairability, I see very little meaningful difference in phone hardware these days. And a series Pixels are very reasonably priced.

Sometimes antidepressants can unmask bipolar disorder and cause manic episodes but I've never heard of anything similar with antipsychotics. In fact they're often used as sedatives as OP alluded to.
