Melatonin helps. It’s a natural chemical your brain releases to help make you drowsy at bedtime and you can get it over the counter to help sleep. It also resets your biological clock which makes it helpful for jet lag.

That with noise cancelling headphones or earplugs, a sleep mask to cover the eyes, and laying as flat as possible (even paying for business class) all help.


Because people are not caricatures and don’t have 100% agreement with one political side or another. That’s why you have some Democrats who oppose gun control and some Republicans who support abortion. Politics is a spectrum, not something to pidgeonhole people into.

This isn’t hard if you understand the words and their meanings.


So he’s Leftwing on abortion and rightwing on vaccines.


Not this again. Just because you can end a war faster by intentionally targeting civilians doesn’t mean it’s ever going to be moral or ethical. The U.S. government considers that act terrorism by definition.

I’m not going to relitigate the whole argument again. The U.S. government knew women and children were in the cities and the military proceeded to nuke the cities instead of an uninhabited because they wanted to show off the power of the weapon and observe the level of urban damage it could do.


Hiroshima and Nagasaki were deliberate atrocities, not sure how you’d list them as blunders.


I’m not familiar with this story, could you give some details?



When I joined mastodon, all the talk was about “the bird site.” It fades over a few weeks.


The airport clerk at the lost luggage counter. I’ve watched dozens of people run over to wait in line, then to shout at him when it’s their turn, their flight was cancelled or redirected without their bags, they’re going to sue his company and demand he reimburses their entire vacation, all before he even opens his mouth. And then the next person has the same story and they have to spill the entire thing out again.

The clerk looks tremendously beaten down, and just answers the customers with robotic answers, “please fill out the form, the airline will contact you within 24 hours. Please fill out the form, the airline will contact you within 24 hours.”


Great but there’s some frustrations. My instance appears overloaded and often voting or commenting fails. I’m also using alpha software so it’s unstable. And the communities are much tinier and quieter.

I’m sure in a few weeks there will be some big improvements. Early mastodon was like this too.


What benefit does hosting an instance do? Why not just add a new group to an existing instance?


It’s possible to write a web app that accesses Reddit APIs and loads comments and gives you an Apollo-style experience. You seem to be thinking of a web viewer app for the site, which isn’t the same as what I’m referring to. For example I’m using wefwef which is a good web app for mobile and desktop.


What do you mean; It’s VERY possible on iOS. Apple doesn’t restrict their web app APIs the way they restrict compiled binaries. Wefwef is a web app and a good one.


My guess is that they made two contradictory policies and didn’t realize the combined effect.
