This is 100% free and so is shipping through the USPS.

This is the article from the FTC on this (and also some tips to avoid possible scams) and the link inside to begin the order https://consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alerts/2024/10/how-order-free-covid-test-kits-federal-government-and-avoid-scammers

They limit 4 per household and do keep in mind that these tests do expire, but it seems wise for everyone to still have some on hand if someone believes they have symptoms. If nothing else, you’ll have some to share with friends if the expiration is close so they don’t go to waste.

He generally shows most of the signs of the misinformation accounts:

  • Wants to repeatedly tell basically the same narrative and nothing else
  • Narrative is fundamentally false
  • Not interested in any kind of conversation or in learning that what he’s posting is backwards from the values he claims to profess

I also suspect that it’s not a coincidence that this is happening just as the Elon Musks of the world are ramping up attacks on Wikipedia, specially because it is a force for truth in the world that’s less corruptible than a lot of the others, and tends to fight back legally if someone tries to interfere with the free speech or safety of its editors.

Anyway, YSK. I reported him as misinformation, but who knows if that will lead to any result.

Edit: Number of people real salty that I’m talking about this: Lots

We (ProPublica) heard the same story again and again this year:

The women were having miscarriages. They were bleeding and in pain.

They needed a medical procedure to clear their uterus, but their doctors delayed it or didn’t even counsel them about it. Our yearlong investigation found that abortion laws are affecting how physicians treat pregnancy loss and other complications because the procedures used in these cases are also used for abortions.

We wrote it in consultation with dozens of doctors, including those who hold positions at leading medical organizations and those who regularly treat patients who are miscarrying.

This guide does not provide medical or legal advice. We encourage you to seek out other reliable resources and consult with experts you trust.

If you have a character whose background you want to explain in a natural way, you can do so through anecdotes, not direct Wikipedia-like explanations.

No real (or sane) person is going to approach you all of the sudden and say "I was in the military in the 1600s, at age of 16, my father was a captan and blah blah blah blah..."

But there will be people who will say in a casual way "In the army they gave us nice caps, but I stopped wearing them for fear of going bald at a young age".

With that you explain the background and also the character's character in a short, simple and yet interesting way.

EDIT: The stupid draft I had saved had not been updated as it should and the incomplete version of what I wanted to say was published. I have corrected it.

This isn't your college or work place break room. If people are saying something you disagree with you can just say it and you won't be fired or ostracized for it. Yeah, people will probably get angry and say mean things to you but those are just words which can be ignored. Offence is taken, not given.

This is mostly for the lurkers who upvote unpopular opinions but don't comment. You can speak up - you're not alone.

A security guard that found a bomb and saved many lives at Olympic Park in Atlanta during the Olympics in 1996. After an FBI leak, the media effectively claimed him as the culprit.

A Justice Department investigation of the FBI's conduct found that the FBI had tried to cause Jewell to waive his constitutional rights by telling him he was participating with a training movie about bomb detection, although the report concluded "no intentional violation of Mr. Jewell's civil rights and no criminal misconduct" had occurred.

At a press conference in July 1997, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno expressed personal regret concerning the leak that resulted in intense media scrutiny of Jewell. She said, "I'm very sorry it happened. I think we owe him an apology. I regret the leak.

It's something we should be aware of due to current events and major newspapers owned by billionaires.

They changed the algorithm on Dec 7, 2016.

Before: https://web.archive.org/web/20161206000344/https://www.reddit.com/

After: https://web.archive.org/web/20161208000333/https://www.reddit.com/

Best guess, based off the vote count differences of those two days, is that if you see a vote with 100,000 count, it's likely closer to 20,000 count (divide by roughly 5 or so).

There was a post about it by KeyserSosa on Dec 6, so it's not some conspiracy or anything.

I figured YSK.

While this feature is available on many third-party apps, it’s not on the browser. However, since you’re already using an ad blocker, you can use it to filter out content as well.

To filter out posts with certain keywords, go to your custom filters and add this code. For example, to hide all posts containing the word “Elon”:

lemmy.world##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/elon/i"))

If your instance is something other than lemmy.world, just replace it with the correct domain.

To filter out comments, use this:

lemmy.world##article.comment-node:has(div.comment-content:has(p:has-text(/asshole/i)))

To add more keywords, simply duplicate the code and replace the keyword with another.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/22303445

Quebecor’s Freedom Mobile has launched a new campaign on Thursday, with the lengthy hashtag #EndOverpricedRoamingFeesNow, to challenge ‘Big 3’ incumbents, Rogers, Telus and Bell, on their costly roaming charges.

Direct link to the petition: https://chng.it/qdc9hbcx5Z

The campaign encourages Canadians to sign a Change.org petition and demand fairer pricing from our dominant telecoms.

The move comes after the CRTC requested these companies to address complaints about high roaming fees. Despite the pressure, Rogers, Telus and Bell defended their daily roaming rates, which can cost Canadians as much as $16 per day while traveling, saying their pricing is competitive.

If you're concerned about Trump's nominations, the most impactful thing you can do is to reach out to your US Senators and voice your opposition. A large volume of brief phone calls do make a difference at strategic times. Immediately after a nomination announcement is one of those strategic times, because they are figuring out how/whether to respond publicly. Democracy must be fought for even after elections have ended.

Contacting Senators from both parties also matters right now. The prevailing message in the media is that Dems need to cater even more to Republicans to win the next election, they need to hear your voice if you disagree with that.

The most effective phone calls take less than a minute: say your name, your city or ZIP code, and what you support/oppose, maybe a sentence on why. You'll be marked down on a spread sheet that is discussed at the daily office strategy meeting.

Other actions like brief emails, meeting in-person at the district office, meeting in-person at the DC office, can also be effective, but take more time and energy. Emails aren't always read right away like a phone call must be answered for example. And you generally need to make an appointment for an in-person meeting.

Find your Senators' contact info

Why YSK: For those looking for an introduction to feminist thought, bell hooks’ work is always remarkably both insightful and accessible, and The Will to Change is no exception. In a world where feminism and gender dynamics are so fiercely polemical and accusatory, I have found this work to be a breath of beautifully fresh air, approaching the topic with utter love and compassion. bell hooks frames masculinity as a social structure that often restricts men’s ability to fully experience and express love, vulnerability, and connection. She acknowledges the ways in which patriarchy harms men as well as women, inviting readers—especially men—to consider feminism as a tool for liberation, not blame.

For anyone who wants to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the broader impact of societal expectations on masculinity, The Will to Change is both eye-opening and healing. I highly recommend this work as a concise and thoughtful jumping-off point for you—or for the men you know—to more deeply understand what it means to be a man in today’s world. :)

https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/53/6/dyae136/7822310 It's recent, from 16 October. You should also know that studies are effectively primary sources that have gone through fresh pairs of eyes and reviews are the trustworthy ones, though that also doesn't necessarily means this one must be untrustowrthy; it just means that time hasn't told whether it holds.

why: so the government won't be able to use your money for whatever the fuck they're planning for the next 4 years.

as a traveler, none of my money has been funding Israel, for example.

one-step method: you basically fill out one extra tax form called FEIE while you're doing your taxes, write down the dates you were outside of the country, and then since you aren't in the country and are not receiving any services from the US, you don't have to pay income tax up to a certain amount (it's a little over 125k this year).

Definition: A gaming dark pattern is something that is deliberately added to a game to cause an unwanted negative experience for the player with a positive outcome for the game developer.

Learned about it from another lemmy user! it's a newer website, so not every game has a rating, but it's already super helpful and I intend to add ratings as I can!

While as an adult I think it'll probably be helpful to find games that are just games and not trying to bait whales, I feel like it's even more helpful for parents.

Making sure the game your kids want to play is free of traps like accidental purchases and starting chain emails with invites I think makes it worth its weight in gold.

EDIT: Some folks seem to be concerned with some specific items that it looks for, but I've been thinking of it like this:

1 mechanic is a thread, multiple together form a pattern. It's why they'll still have a high score even if they have a handful of the items listed.

Like random loot from a boss can be real fun! But when it's combined with time gates, pay to skip, grinding, and loot boxes.... we all know exactly what it is trying to accomplish. They don't want you to actually redo the dungeon 100 times. They want you to buy 100 loot boxes.

Guilds where you screw over your friends if you don't play for a couple days because your guild can't compete and earn the rewards they want if even a single player isn't playing every single day? Yeah, we know what it's about. But guilds where it's all very chill and optional? Completely fine.

Games that throw in secret bots without telling you to make you think you're good at the game combined with a leader board and infinite treadmill, so you sit there playing the game not wanting to give up your "top spot"? I see you stupid IO games.

But also, information is power to the consumer.
