Proofofnothing, in do you guys shop on places like aliexpress/Temu and if you do what items have pleasantly surprised you?

I’ve used aliexpress for bootleg lego and have had mixed results. Some sets were perfect copies with all pieces, and others were missing some. I was also able to get some discontinued sets which was nice. The quality of the pieces themselves were pretty good. It is a bit of a risk but hard to beat the price as its wayyyy cheaper.

CmdrShepard,

As an AFOL, this comment made me shudder.

AugustMetronome, in What series did you rewatch most often?

Battlestar Galactica and X-Files are comfort watches to have on in the background

manwithabox, in What series did you rewatch most often?

The only show that I watched more than one is the Wire.

TheButtonJustSpins, in What series did you rewatch most often?

It was Gilmore Girls, but now maybe Psych?

Lorela,

I watched GG on repeat for literal years. Must have seen it over 20 times? Then AYITL happened and I can’t watch it again, because it really took it out of being a ‘product of it’s time’ and made it almost impossible to look past how much Rory sucks.

TheButtonJustSpins,

I agree wholeheartedly.

TrenchcoatFullofBats,

now maybe Psych?

You know that’s right.

TheButtonJustSpins,

Suck it.

Deebster, in What happened to the previous meme content/posters?
@Deebster@lemmy.ml avatar

It was memes, then beans, now antique memes and next week it’ll be something new. People will be looking back on this fondly, I’m sure.

collegefurtrader,

Nuked memes next week

VonReposti,

The judge.

Leaves everything behind to become this great lawyer but when the unfortunate happens he has to go back and come to terms with what he thought was once lost.

Not sure why I keep watching it but I do enjoy how it develops.

Pretzelise, in What are your favorite "ugly" games?
@Pretzelise@aussie.zone avatar

I haven’t seen anyone mention it yet so… Golden Light!

A creepy, funny, challenging, confusing, silly mess if a roguelite. Art looks almost PS1-esque. It’s gorgeous in an ugly way!

unabatedshagie, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?
@unabatedshagie@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t browse at all on mobile now.

I only use old.reddit on the desktop occasionally now. My Reddit usage has dropped by 80% now I think.

lambchop, in What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

When I would have a problem with my body like shoulder impingement and ask for advice, I would often be told by people “nah, you’re too young too have that”

dan,

My wife (in her 30s) got shingles and doctors / people at the pharmacy said the same thing. “only people over 50 get that!”

She was in a lot of pain. 0/10 would not recommend getting shingles.

DragonAce,

Yeah I got shingles at the age of 42, apparently extremely high stress/anxiety can trigger it. I agree, that shit sucks.

lambchop,

Strange, my friend got that when a teenager and doctors said yup, that’s chicken pox round 2, makes sense.

sky,

Hey, what did you end up doing about that? I allegedly have one in my left shoulder and the doctor is acting like there’s not really anything I can do about it.

lambchop,

I saw a physio, they gave me some exercises which didn’t help. I did a bunch of reading online and followed that advice and it worked.

  1. sleeper stretch
  2. external rotations from a stretched position, or sleeper stretch repetitions while holding a 2-4kg dumbbell
  3. serratus strengthening exercises

www.healthline.com/health/sleeper-stretch

I had quite bad impingement from months of poor exercise selection at the gym. Changed the routine to be balanced internal/external rotation, did 1/2 above 1-2 times a day. Took a few months but now it’s completely better. I still do the stretching as a prehab now.

lambchop,

It bugs me when told “nothing you can do” what they really mean is “the problem is chronic so the recovery will take a long time. Patient compliance is often very low and most people won’t last the months required for a solution so I’m not going to waste my time. I can help more people if I focus my efforts elsewhere.” If you’re willing to put in the time, you can fix this. And I suggest you do, if you do nothing impingement inflames each time it happens, decreasing the space in your shoulder, increasing the likelihood, etc.

Cosmonaut_Collin, in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?
@Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world avatar

I like to use parsec to play games with my friends. When I found out Linux could not host parsec, that was a bummer for me. If parsec had compatibility to host in Linux I’d switch back immediately.

ricecake, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

killing floor 1

rautapekoni, in What series did you rewatch most often?

It’s a tie with three full watches for these shows:

-MacGyver

-Stargate SG1

-The Wire

-Band of Brothers

-Generation Kill

-Blackadder

notun, in What series did you rewatch most often?

Justified. It’s like comfort food at this point.

substill,

“Next one’s coming faster.”

TrenchcoatFullofBats,

True. The new series starts in 3 days.

ablackcatstail, in What's a big tech product that you actually find useful?
@ablackcatstail@lemmy.goblackcat.com avatar

Honestly I cannot think of any right now because I am so fed up with corporate proprietary crap.

Michal, in What series did you rewatch most often?

Seinfeld

ikiru,

Seinfeld, hands down.
