I have been using my 8bitdo pro2 with the Bluetooth built into my Win11 desktop PC motherboard for at least a year. Mine didn’t come with a dangle, but I could have purchased it separately. It was the old chunky style dangle iirc.

Dongle is a good suggestion though as that should work out of the box.

I use an 8bit duo2 with Bluetooth in Windows, but am planning on switching to Linux by the end of the year after doing a proper data backup.

Just to be clear, the Bluetooth in Linux doesn’t work with these controllers and requires the dongle?

Or, and hear me out, King could collaborate with another human writer to do the exact same fucking thing to promote human creativity instead of giving AI any more publicity.

Parental involvement in medical decisions is a completely different topic than medical treatment by age.

The AAP, which STRONGLY recommends against medication has a consensus of medical professionals that medication might be necessary in very specific situations, is the best group of knowledgeable people to make that call. Definitely more qualified than some random person who just looks at numbers and thinks society or politicians would make a better call than medical professionals who use evidence based practices.

I’m not saying I even have an opinion on this, but I do think if someone said they think 3 is too young to take Adderall I think that doesn’t automatically tell me they are anti medicine or a bad person.

That is an opinion, and saying they less qualified to decide on appropriate ages doesn’t mean they are anti-medicine or a bad person unless they try to make laws that keep medical professionals from providing evidence based health care.

When I was young I enjoyed working on cars because they were complex enough to be interesting and affordable enough to do as a hobby. Like my first car in the 90s was a beat up 280z I bought for $500 and I spent a few hundred bucks making it slightly less beat up plus a new radio and speakers! Lived a few miles out of town, and connected with my first long term girlfriend by giving her rides home.

As time went on I had some other fun csr projects, including painting up the car I bought from an old lady who drove it to church on Sundays like a dairy cow while using it for deliveries. Eventually bought an 8 year old Honda Civic Si and did the sound system swap again and worked on that too. Again, didn’t poor a lot of money into it but loved working on it to improve some things and might have if I had more money available.

Now I have a three year old vehicle that is super reliable and complex enough that I don’t plan on doing anything to it beyond attaching stuff to make it useful. I would love to buy a 20+ year old model vehicle and convert it to electric but that kind of stuff is way beyond my resources and paying someone to do it wouldn’t be as fun. There is just something really satisfying about maintaining complex machinery that I use almost every day.

I should get an e bike but I am afraid of other drivers.

If someone from a country has a history of making stereotypes about Arabic men being terrorists then saying their language sounds angry is in line with those cultural stereotypes. If I heard a white person in the US saying that it would come across as racist.

Because I don’t think a 2 year old should be given Adderall without a parent knowing?

What a totally reasonable and not completely fictional scenario that shows you are discussing in good faith.

This is like saying there needs to be a minimum age for ADHD medications or birth control. Doctors are not giving minors sex changes all willy nilly and the procedures that they do provide like hormone suppression are proven safe, effective, and reversible.

Why does the general public or politicians need to pick an age for medical care that doesn’t involve them and doesn’t harm anyone?

Framing ‘medical decisions should be left to patients and medical professionals’ as a purity test is pretty ridiculous. That is like saying ‘people shouldn’t abuse children’ is a purity test.

A lot of microaggressions are assumed to be about one thing but are actually something else. Maybe the white woman clutched her purse because he was a man. Maybe she was just moving it closer in a tight space. Maybe he reminded her of someone specific. Sure, it is probably race and if the same person does it multiple times it could be confirmed. And yes, it is totally reasonable for a black man to see a bunch of white women clutching purses and assume there is a pattern even if not every single one was due to racism.

Microaggressions are one of those things that are real while also frequently misread because it is impossible to infer intent from a single vague action. Better to assume the minority/oppressed group is right, and if accused of something in error just let it go.

Generally being more aware of something means less ignorant behavior like discrimination. Not a guarantee, but if someone is smart enough to understand racism they should be able to grasp sexisim and so on.

Again, not a guarantee and there are plenty of people who are progressive about a limited number of topics.

The simple answer is that it is nobody’s business but the patient and the medical professionals.

A surgeon would not remove someone’s hearing for misophonia. They took an oath to do no harm and the vast, vast majority of medical professionals take that seriously on a personal level before getting into licensing and other requirements to practice.

The easiest example is, what age should someone be allowed to transition which is an intensely challenging question to answer even on a medical level.

That actually has a really simple answer, the right age is the one that the person and their doctors/medical professionals consider age appropriate for that individual. It isn’t up to society to restrict that decision. That is before the fact that medical professionals with direct experience with the person will have the best opinions on the topic.

This is also true for every single medical decision. Also true for every decision that doesn’t directly harm someone else.

One big reason for the US guidelines being so strict is that they apply to the entire country, which ranges from Florida to Alaska and everywhere in between, and they are worst case. Plus with a massive population fed by capitalist companies that value money over lives and frequently altered food for profit, deaths in a large population are going to happen.

I don’t leave stuff that needs refridgeration out for more than a few hours so that it holds up for several days and the time varies widely by food type. Food does need to cool down significantly before refridgerating, although sometimes I will put it in within a couple hours to avoid forgetting. For most foods I have a four hour limit outside the fridge.

Commercially raised chicken has a very high chance of having salmonella. Raw chicken is only out long enough to prepare and cook. Once cooked I don’t worry anymore than anything else.

I also use the dates as rough estimates and when to pay more attention to spoilage. I don’t worry about safety for canned foods that don’t have signs of spoilage, but a soup can a couple years past the best by date has likely probably separated and textures will be off. Dates on bags of chips are a sign they are will be going stale within a few months.

Other than obvious needs like food, water, and shelter, what people need and what they desire can vary from person to person. They also don’t really know if anything else is a need or a desire without attempting to go without it.

I don’t need social interaction. I’m probably better for having it, and there is definitely a desire for a few close family and friends. But if stuck on a desert island alone I could adjust fairly easily.

Some people would be unable alone on an island with nobody to interact with. They need social interaction to thrive, and may even need it to simply keep on living.

At least five days when I was in a feverish hell of mono, just drank a lot of water.

Other than that, I have gone without eating for like 24 hours or so a lot when I was younger either by just being distracted and not being hungry or when I was broke in my early 20s and had to couch surf for a couple of months. Got by eating once a day.

Now my meals are so structured that it would take effort to get back to eating only when hungry but I should start that so I can get back to a healthy weight.

Or more likely, they don’t want to be notable. Frequently they aren’t in the entertainment industry themselves and just want to accompany the person they are with to their work function.

They will be entertaining as well.

and can only be bought just before the current repeat runs out according to the first time it was dispensed?

Some meds can’t be filled early and shouldn’t be skipped to try and align the refills. Even more fun when they are out of stock occasionally and even if they were synced up the next time would throw off the pattern.

Plausible and possible are different words.
