Nestle. obvs

I love and donate to SomaFM.

I have been hooked on the 'DroneZone', but there are lots of other channels on SomaFM that I should explore.

There is very minimal interruption (hourly? and quietly) asking for donations.

What was your earliest experiences with the Internet like? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] yool_ooloo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

AOL - ISP. Not sure order of operations here... I was also on Mozilla/Netscape (1991/92-?)

Bulletin Board Channels: There was at least one gay one in San Diego (ca. 1992-1995). We would chat and post online, then once a month, meet at a gay bar with name tags with our handles.

IRC - fun chat site (at least into 1997 for me)

LISTSERV - this was less useful for me. signing up for 'reading lists' or 'subscriptions' to 'butterflies' 'sourdough', etc. (I honestly do not recall the groups I signed on to) when no one really seemed to be there (1992-94?) though I didn't move with the hip crowd

What is a U.S. health insurance's "concierge program"? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] yool_ooloo@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

I thought a 'concierge program' was similar to OneMedical. You pay an annual fee, have a PCP, but the PCP doesn't typically do much besides refer you to specialists, give advice, or prescribe meds.

Who was the biggest Karen you have encountered in Public? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] yool_ooloo@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My mother.

She was returning something on a slow night at Best Buy.

We did not make it past the tween greeter at the front door before she unleashed!

Mom went off. The way she was talking, you would think he, personally, did something to harm her. This kid was standing there, shrinking away, with what looked like his girlfriend standing next to him. He was a door greeter, had no control or decisive role in any way.
