I use MSEdgeRedirect!

I love it!

I love your username btw

See, this is what people say, but now that I’ve been reading labels I don’t believe it.

For example, I cannot eat Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, but some off brands are made with a different formula that doesn’t include gluten and is manufactured in a safe environment.

Conversely, I can eat Cheerios, but not most store brands, Lucky Charms but not most store brands, etc.

And that’s just cereal! Even drugs vary wildly. Sure, the active ingredients are the same, but the other contents can really vary.

Some foods have similar ingredients, but are either manufactured on shared equipment with wheat and dairy, or not.

I now believe that most store brands are made in a unique environment. I’m open to being convinced otherwise, but if you need more examples, I can check my cupboard and tell you all kinds of things!

“Oh yeah, that’s the shit! They’re really loving me now!”

My provider claims generics can have different fillers and such. The active ingredients have to be the same, though.

If I really wanted to be sure, I’d ask a pharmacist.

They’re not. I have celiac, and I’ve learned from reading labels that they often have completely different ingredients/manufacturing conditions.

They’re not QC rejects, but they’re also not the same thing repackaged.

My instance already blocks those, otherwise I’d add those as well

LemmyNSFW (nothing against it, but I’m not here for that)

These are the only two

I left beehaw because I was being targeted by a user using gaslighting and lies.

When I responded to this user (I will admit, too strongly), the mods removed my comments, but left his initial lies and gaslighting up, even though I had reported them (and even messaged one of the admins directly – it was actually a beehaw admin’s actions against my comments.) To be clear, I understood the removal of my comments, but I did not understand why the user’s lies and rudeness against me still remained.

I mentioned tumblr because it was where the information I was sharing had initiated, and I encouraged people to take the discussion there, since a productive discussion was no longer possible here. I never said I was moving there myself.

I then removed the rest of my comments and posts on beehaw.

I was already on tumblr, so I didn’t “move from” Beehaw to there. I was also already on this account, so nor did I move here – I was already here all along, where I’ve had no similar problems.

I saw a BBC documentary about a similar situation. People are being exploited on both sides of the phone line.

The worst thing people on acid have thrown at me is laughter.

Stop fucking laughing at me, Brian.

In the winter, tinkering with my magic decks, or becoming obsessed with a video game if one grabs me.

In the summer, riding my longboard long distances.

Someone else explained this too. It’s still mildly infuriating when you have to use it. Can’t even pull it out without it breaking before there’s enough tissue for the job because of how the dispenser is designed.

This is terrible for the economy

Yeah, I was on that sub as well, occasionally. I respect Bardfinn, the lead mod of AHS, but they used to tell me that accounts were restored on appeal if moderators retaliated by reporting users for “abusing the report button,” but my appeal was never accepted, and it was a clear instance of mod retaliation. I finally shared that experience when I was on my way out of the site for good.

Oh yeah I got IP banned for “abusing the report button” by reporting a literal call for violence against trans people. I had to use a VPN to browse that shitty site. In retrospect, I don’t know why I bothered.

Mildly hilarious

“See you next week,” one user smugly commented to me on my way out.

I haven’t been back, and I haven’t missed it.
