I've never taken wellbutrin but I'm currently on Lamictal.

I've never been prescribed Strattera and Lamictal at the same time, Lamictal might prevent feeling depressed while on Strattera as effectively as Wellbutrin does in my case, I'm not sure.

Do you experience any side effects?

For the first year or so, Wellbutrin made me feel a little angry sometimes. It still happens sometimes, but I'm not typically angry, so it's not a big deal for me personally.

I take Strattera, and it works great for me, but only because I also take Wellbutrin.

I really hope it works, I'm so tired of being tired!

This is what I like the most about Strattera, I don't feel drained outside of some small window of time when I'm supposed to try to be productive like I did when I took stimulants. I can focus pretty much whenever I want, though cardio exercise still helps me feel focused, post-workout.

Other than not draining me like stimulants do, Strattera by itself does not make me feel like I have more energy. I take it a few hours before going to bed, it does not keep me awake. Wellbutrin wakes me up during the daytime, for me it functions as a replacement for a stimulant (Strattera helps with focus, Wellbutrin helps with alertness).

When I took Strattera without an antidepressant, I felt a little depressed. It's hard to say if that was because of the Strattera, though, that was over a decade ago.

it's encrypted once the actual https request is made - only the destination ip address is available at that point.

HTTPS includes the domain of the site you're visiting in plaintext, and your ISP will get that information about every request you make unless you're using a VPN/a proxy/Tor, DNS aside.

While ER visits for COVID increased 14.7% in the past week nationally, they still only account for 0.7% of ER visits, according to CDC.

You know, after removing the requirement for ERs to report COVID cases

and VPNs only obfuscate your IP address from the website you're connecting to.

If you're in the US, ISPs can legally sell your data since 2017, so another purpose of VPNs is to obfuscate what sites you are visiting from your ISP.

Hasan said there's only one way Biden's coming back from this and I have to agree with him in this case

Can't speak for other Hexbears, but I'm an LLM who works for the Kremlin. The benefits are alright but the pay isn't competitive IMO

They were never planning on running Biden in November. If they did joebiden.com would have said what his platform is, and it does not, even now. Gavin Newsom's nomination is imminent, right?

Edit: They actually added the Issues tab today, there is an archive of the site from today without it. shrug-outta-hecks Maybe they can reuse it

I used to take Lexapro, but it didn't work great for me. Taking a pharmacogenetic test revealed that I am genetically predisposed to not be a good metabolizer of Lexapro (or any other SSRI), so I switched to Wellbutrin SR. That was 7 years ago, it works fine for me.

Side note: Becacause Wellbutrin makes you more wakeful, if you are taking a stimulant ADHD medication, this might be a good time to consider a non-stimulant ADHD medication, as taking a stimulant on top of Wellbutrin might be a little overkill (it was for me). In my case, I take Strattera, it seems to have a synergistic effect with Wellbutrin.

 

Based on monthly users, Hexbear should be 7th, but we're listed as 9th.

Also, there's no users graph on Hexbear's the-federation.info page, either.

Complaints about Hexbear in Hexbear defederation posts often talk about emoji size. Even complaints about PPB are usually talking about how big it is. And I mean it's true, that emoji, among others, is massive on non-Hexbear instances.

on Hexbear: ppb on hexbear

on other instances: ppb on other instances

Obviously PPB and the rest of our culture is cool and good, but it is silly to be defederated because of an emoji scaling bug. Surely we can find cooler reasons to be defederated

It's been over a day of federation. Does it take longer, or does someone have to manually add Hexbear?

UPS has put $30 billion in new money on the table as a direct result of these negotiations. We’ve changed the game, battling it out day and night to make sure our members won an agreement that pays strong wages, rewards their labor, and doesn’t require a single concession. This contract sets a new standard in the labor movement and raises the bar for all workers.

Highlights of the tentative 2023-2028 UPS Teamsters National Master Agreement include:

  • Historic wage increases. Existing full- and part-time UPS Teamsters will get $2.75 more per hour in 2023, and $7.50 more per hour over the length of the contract.

  • Existing part-timers will be raised up to no less than $21 per hour immediately, and part-time seniority workers earning more under a market rate adjustment would still receive all new general wage increases.

  • General wage increases for part-time workers will be double the amount obtained in the previous UPS Teamsters contract — and existing part-time workers will receive a 48 percent average total wage increase over the next five years.

  • Wage increases for full-timers will keep UPS Teamsters the highest paid delivery drivers in the nation, improving their average top rate to $49 per hour.

  • Current UPS Teamsters working part-time would receive longevity wage increases of up to $1.50 per hour on top of new hourly raises, compounding their earnings.

  • New part-time hires at UPS would start at $21 per hour and advance to $23 per hour.

  • All UPS Teamster drivers classified as 22.4s would be reclassified immediately to Regular Package Car Drivers and placed into seniority, ending the unfair two-tier wage system at UPS.

  • Safety and health protections, including vehicle air conditioning and cargo ventilation. UPS will equip in-cab A/C in all larger delivery vehicles, sprinter vans, and package cars purchased after Jan. 1, 2024. All cars get two fans and air induction vents in the cargo compartments.

  • All UPS Teamsters would receive Martin Luther King Day as a full holiday for the first time.

  • No more forced overtime on Teamster drivers’ days off. Drivers would keep one of two workweek schedules and could not be forced into overtime on scheduled off-days.

  • UPS Teamster part-timers will have priority to perform all seasonal support work using their own vehicles with a locked-in eight-hour guarantee. For the first time, seasonal work will be contained to five weeks only from November-December.

  • The creation of 7,500 new full-time Teamster jobs at UPS and the fulfillment of 22,500 open positions, establishing more opportunities through the life of the agreement for part-timers to transition to full-time work.

  • More than 60 total changes and improvements to the National Master Agreement — more than any other time in Teamsters history — and zero concessions from the rank-and-file.

 

I mentioned yesterday that a Lemmy dev was busy plugging Lemmy in the Apollo thread about :reddit-logo:'s API pricing. The ~~reddit admins~~ r/apolloapp mods went and deleted 118 of their 120 comments:

As you can see on Lemmy dev parentis_shotgun's profile, they were very active plugging Lemmy and answering questions in the Apolo dev's thread about Reddit's API pricing, with 120 total comments made in that post.

They were well-received, with 3 of their comments getting over 400 upvotes. However, ~~reddit admins~~ r/apolloapp mods must have noticed that reddit is bleeding users to Lemmy, because all but 2 of parentis_shotgun's 120 comments (one about Beehaw and one about Microsoft) in that thread are removed.

:reddit-logo: knows its days are numbered, their IPO later this year will fall flat on its face

Edit: ~~Someone~~ @ImOnADiet on Lemmygrad says it was just r/apolloapp mods
Edit 2: @dessalines posted about it
