What are some good ways to alleviate hiccups? in c/[email protected]

I usually just breathe in as much as I can and hold my breath until I need another gasp of air. It usually goes away after two or three times.

Lying on your back and pressing your knees to your chest is another way to get them to stop that works for me.

I mean medical intervention is a common way to try mitigate mental health issues. For many people it can never truly go away, but the effects can be lessened. Similarly, there are avenues to help with obesity, whether it be the psychological or physiological aspect.

I made a couple of mods and published them on Nexus, and with the donation programme actually made a little money from it, even though I didn't expect anything. If you want to make money modding without completely shitting up the user experience you're better off just shoving them on Nexus and maybe making a ko-fi or something.

Antivax quacks are continuing to make up fantastical biological mechanisms for COVID-19 vaccine “shedding” in c/[email protected]

My mum has compromised health. She caught COVID from my dad and I got to appreciate the experience of being told she is dying from my sister, who happened to work at the hospital she was admitted to. Although my mum survived, not every family were as lucky as we were.

Everyone I know got vaccinated and are currently still alive and well. I personally will always stand on the side of medicine, however I live in a country with free healthcare and I'm not subject to the concept of "Big Pharma".

Although we all experienced the pandemic differently, overall the vaccine has been more of a boon for society as a whole. Fear of vaccinations is why previously considered "obsolete" diseases such as measles are making a comeback.
