I wonder if I could get cloudberries in the US, I'd love to try!

When I click the chain icon, it brings me to the post and I can see the reply comment, but not my own (which for me adds a lot of needed context for interpreting the reply). Is this normal?

I've never had a cloudberry. Do they have a unique taste or do they share similarities with other berries?

While I feel like I might understand some of the impulse to restrict resources as a way to ensure all members contribute to society, we can see that this isn't actually the outcome of such restrictions; this tells me that the motivation isn't about improving society but rather improving the standing of a select few. It is all about power and control. How do we change the social structure at this point?

The concept of suitable housing as a right is too uncommon. I wish the US government would put more focus on tangible needs like housing, access to healthy food, and healthcare.

FWIW, for me the only posts that appear blank are those made by OP. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was going to make a similar comment 😁 Love that channel

Could you link to the post? I was only able to find another post with a similar (but different, imo) question, which was also removed as a duplicate. I'd like to read the answers, if possible

I stopped eating these because of how frequently the crumbs ended up in my bra! They are more crumble than bar, imo, and just not worth the mess!

I also "over apologize". My mom does too. We say things like, "I'm sorry this is so hard" or "I'm sorry your [insert injured body part] hurts!" when empathizing. We apologize if someone bumps into us.

For me (and my mom) this appears to be a learned behavior.

While I am from Minnesota, and my mom grew up in a small community a few hours from the Canadian border, I attribute this habit to my mom growing up with a mom who was pacified by apologies. For example: Every time someone in the family has a baby shower, my grandma is there, gifting several large wooden spoons with a "funny" anecdote of how she once broke a wooden spoon disciplining my uncle, while my mom always talked her way out of a spanking (by apologizing, giving compliments, taking on responsibility - essentially fawning). My grandma isn't "a piece of work", but I'm pretty sure she has ADHD (that lady cannot stop moving/talking!!), on top of a traumatic childhood.

I don't have anything to add other than commiseration at this point. My tendency to apologize as a social lubricant worked until I was out of college, when I started receiving feedback that it was aggravating, annoying, and made me seem weak (by people I would consider socially aggressive/takers/abusers on the extreme end of the spectrum).

I'm guessing it is in settings? Also a jerboa user. But I am seeing the comment images at a reasonable size. I'm using the dark theme, and I think I changed the font size, but it's been almost a month since I first installed, so not super sure.
