RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

That makes ur body take a screenshot
Add some whip and you got yourself an Irish coffee!
Try drinking lemon juice with bee honey. It works for me
Try drinking absinthe and green tea. It works for me
At my absolute lowest points of soreness and coughing, nothing beats getting a hot shower going and just sitting cross-legged on the floor of it. Just relax your spine and slump forward and breathe in the steam while hot water pelts your whole back.
Mood, on and off fever for 2 days too then right as I thought I was healing my stomach started doing loops
Try drinking Gatorade and liquid paraffin. It works for me.
Try drinking acid with a splash of lavender. It works for me
Pneumonia has been going around, if you find yourself not being able to clear out your lungs and having coughing fits kind of constantly to the point that you're losing your voice, see a doctor. Chest x-ray will reveal all.
Have you tried butt chugging motor oil? Works for me every time.
Have a nice sit, let your body do its thing. Less screen time would probably help your head right now. Maybe a nice shower? Might help some things relax, if you can manage it.
I am also in the midst of a head cold. Try drinking Dayquil and sparkling water.
I'm right here in the boat with you.
Some kind of hot drink is nice. The whiskey warms up the chest too. Hot showers are helping. I'm using the "boiling a frog" approach to getting the steamy water steamier as I normally can't tolerate hot showers. And my new friend is a sinus irrigator, kind of like if a neti pot and a WaterPik had a baby. Battery operated pulsed water up the schnozz (using the premix packets of course). It's helping to get the gunk out.
This is all in addition to liberal cough syrup and mucinex and Halls and Sinex.
I may need to give up and go to the doc.
Ok, I did a telehealth appt and got a Rx for antibiotics. Easy peasy.
I wish upon you delicious warm soup
Aw I'm sorry! Being sick is no fun. If you have any zinc tablets it's good at boosting your immune system to be able to fight off infections easier. For coughs I find hot honey and lemon helps me a lot. Soup too! Be sure to rest up also since rest is important. Get well soon!! 🙏
Hot tea helps me a lot. Adding some honey is good for the throat, too.
Not sure if you're looking for suggestions or are venting, but I figured I'd help.
Curious to know if you're an American with United health care?
Yeah cuz that's what I want to casually talk about when I'm sick🤣
