Stimulants messed up my ability to stay asleep so my provider gave me Trazodone which worked but made me too drowsy during the day (they suggested melatonin but that makes me even drowsier than the Trazodone). They switched me to Baclofen which is a muscle relaxer that helps with staying asleep which is all I need since the stimulants actually made it easier for me to fall asleep. Between that, good sleep hygiene, and a CPAP I usually get pretty good sleep nowadays.

Games@lemmy.world•turns out making games is the easy part, getting people to play them is a different beastEnglish
3·25 days agoBut what’s supposed to make a potential customer excited about that? Looking at your page, all I see is what you call labels, extensions to your email address separated by a “-” which seem identical to the “+” addressing supported by most big email services except that you automatically set up rules to bounce emails sent to the home label instead of the user needing to manually set that up.
Maybe this works some clever way under the hood but nothing on your site really tells me why I should be interested or excited about it. Every email provider advertises that they have some “unique” solution to spam and most of these work well enough for most people so you need more than just that to have a good selling proposition when you’re not priced competitively.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•California Democratic Party chair calls for governor candidates without a 'viable path' to drop outEnglish
7·29 days agoThe problem is if five Democrats who people want to vote for are in a jungle primary with two Republicans who people want to vote for, then there’s a decent chance the general election may end up with two Republicans on the ballot.
Jungle primaries are dumb, the only way they would make sense is if they used approval voting or something.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is using a copyrighted image/image that isn't yours as an avatar actually okay?English
3·29 days agoFair use requires you to analyze or comment on the work or transform the original work in some way, non-commercial use isn’t enough on its own.
The real reason it’s “ok” is that it’s unlikely the owner would be able to prove damages from someone using their image as an avatar so it’s not worth taking anyone to court over it because all they would get is the judge ordering them to stop and a C&D is cheaper if the owner really cares about stopping you.
In the US that’s usually a bad deal because you lose employer-sponsored healthcare.

Most people get insurance through their employer and most employers at least partially subsidize the cost. This doesn’t show up on your paystub like a tax would so the only way you’d ever be aware of the true cost of your plan is if you got laid off and paid for continuation of benefits (COBRA).
It doesn’t occur to most Americans that their paycheck might be higher if they had universal healthcare.
