It’s been clarified. The dev confirmed in this comment that ad trackers & data collection are removed when you pay ($3.49) to remove ads: https://lemmy.world/comment/3811201

Boost does have a paid option. It’s a $3.49 one time fee to remove ads, which also removes all trackers and data collection.

Yeah I’ve seen people recommend ChatGPT for meal planning and recipes, and it’s mostly fine for common, simple recipes but it does super weird things when you ask it for something nonstandard, that has a lot of variations, or with dietary restrictions. Like it repeatedly gave me recipes with my allergens with a note to check package for said allergen and other weird things like claiming frozen vegetables take 10 minutes to roast in the oven. It’s useful for certain things but it’s not really intelligent.

No. If you tap on mute, there’s options for user, community, or instance but not post.

Thank you for making ad-free affordable ♥️

Most of us here are diagnosed and on medication.

Yes. Supposedly it was Danny Masterson that recruited them. Some of them claim to no longer be involved with the church, but celebrities have been known to lie about that before, likely a church PR move to convince people they’re totally not a cult and that people can leave any time.

Probably pressured by the church of scientology

Sexting minors (under 18) is illegal in most places, including California, even if they’re above the age of consent.

Apparently what would happen is a Republican would replace him, as of a law passed in 2021 https://www.npr.org/2023/07/31/1191034037/mcconnell-facing-health-questions-says-he-ll-serve-full-term-keep-leading-senate

You can find the pilot script online. It’s pretty bad.

Also worth mentioning that if you have ADHD, you get those same protections. Idk how it is in Canada where OP is, but in the US, adult autism evaluations can be hard to obtain and insurance typically will fight coverage but ADHD evaluations are easier and usually covered.

After blocking most of the meme subs, I find it a pretty nice place.

We bought a countertop convection toaster oven that preheats within ~5 minutes. As a family of 2, it has pretty much replaced our oven usage, but a larger family might not like it as much. It can fit up to a 9x13 pan so that’s a small sheet pan or most casserole dishes.

It’s really nice that it doesn’t make the kitchen hot. It can also air fry decently, not as nice as a standalone air fryer, but it’s way more versatile. Ours is a ~ $300 Calphalon, pricier than most, but we use it almost daily, and the cheap Oster one we had before only lasted about a year. I’m sorry this sounds like an ad.

About once a week. We’re more concerned about the impact on our waist lines than our finances.

One thing we try to do to save money is to order meals for leftovers. As an example, a $14 burger will almost always be one meal, while a $14 Thai curry typically lasts for 3 meals or more. Even within specific restaurants, bowls or plates offer more bang for your buck than sandwich entrees.

We also often roast vegetables or other side dishes in the oven while waiting for delivery, mainly for health but it’s also typically cheaper.

Yeah you really have to block the annoying communities. I did have to do that on Reddit too as well though. And subscribe to some nice stuff so you have a good home feed to look at when All isn’t working for you.

I don’t see that option?

I thought that too. I bought a rocket book to make it super easy to scan and organize. But I never bothered to actually scan anything. It’s just one of those things I will never get around to, so I just switched back to typing. Idk maybe ymmv if you don’t have really bad ADHD like I do 🤷

Use habit stacking to make it part of your routine. Just start doing it after you brush your teeth or whatever in the evening. You can also set a reminder with Google tasks or whatever your preferred app is.
