The Eye of the World, the first book in the Wheel of Time series. There were other books I really liked prior to that, but I distinctly remember reading that one on a long road trip I was stuck on with my parents, and being just completely enthralled by it. Made a 14 hour car ride feel like nothing.

The series ultimately led to discovering Brandon Sanderson as an author (when he took over for the last 3 books in the series), which led to a lot more really memorable, beloved reads, so that's a nice added bonus.

Anything that provides a service rather than sells a product. This would likely take the form of an app or website that people subscribe to or purchase, but could also be services like copy or video editing, voice work or the like.

Presumably the "2 users per month" are you when you posted that, and me when I clicked your link, so that community seems pretty dead. I think cross-posting to multiple relevant communities is the only real way to get any traction on Lemmy, unfortunately. It at least draws attention to the more specialized communities from people who were browsing the general ones. I know I've subscribed to many communities that I discovered through crossposts... wouldn't otherwise have known they existed.

Pssh. I had posted this 10 minutes earlier and got no updoots.

This community gets 2.23k users per week, whereas you posted it to one that gets 2 users per month; I don't know what you were expecting.

OP just fucked up the link. Correct link

As did 428 others; makes me curious what the actual content of that bill was, and why it was so vehemently opposed.

I'm not a medical professional nor do I use hearing aids, so I might be misinterpreting the situation here, but are the speakers actually the problem? Presumably the other nurse's headphones were capable of playing the sounds in that range; the problem was your hearing aid. How does having another speaker playing those same sounds help, if your hearing aid still isn't able to correctly handle them?

It seems like what you'd actually need is something that can take in the sounds in the 20-100 hz range, but play them back in the 100-3000 hz range, so your hearing aid can pick them up, no?

The term is connected to misogyny. If someone just wants to give up dating and that's the end of it, there's no reason for anyone to be ticked off by that idea. It's the doomer attitude surrounding it and the effects of it that cause problems. You used the term 'black pill', which has specific connotations - it's not simply choosing to give up dating.

The term black pill, first popularized in the 2010s on the incel blog Omega Virgin Revolt, refers to accepting the futility of fighting against a feminist system. Blackpilled incels are encouraged to either commit suicide or “go ER”/be a “hERo,” referencing Elliot Rodger’s 2014 Isla Vista murder spree that has been called an act of misogynistic terrorism.

https://12ft.io/ works great to bypass stupid bullshit like that, as well.

At the low, low price of €5 per character? Zero chance of that happening.
