Please…kill me.

It’s the first thing. Glad to see it working. I do still have to ignore a lot of USA-centric political memes and it annoys me that political content doesn’t stay in the designated political areas.

Must be my filter list then… 20p blocked communities (mostly porn though) and 50 blocked keywords…and increasing.

A post this size with this many pictures is slowing down my Lemmy app (Boost) to a crawl. I can’t even scroll down the page. Anyone else having problems?

We probably have it pretty great compared to most of the rest of the world currently.

“Naughty publisher”

My current recommended strategy: turn around and look the other way. Now all you see is a sunny beach and nice palm trees.

You’re still depriving the capitalists of their well deserved money! (ಥ_ʖಥ)

Lemmy has been one of the best places online for toning down the American emphasis (although I think my blacklist keywords filters help a lot with that… Highly recommended).

Lemmy has better European/Australian representation, but there isn’t much Asian or African representation though.

There needs to be a statue of limitations for childhood cringe events.

Context and culture and expectations. I agree with your point, but there isn’t a logical/sensible answer to these things.

I’m a man and I don’t think it would be acceptable for me to wear a Speedo swimsuit or have my bum exposed the way some thong bikini bottoms do. Communities, societies and cultures dictate what’s acceptable in an unsaid way. It is what it is.

Some commenters in this thread are reacting in a pointed way because questions like yours seem to imply that there should be a judgement of control of what women can/cannot do. People can do what they want, but it’s also OK to think about the absurdity of society’s rules…like why some women with a certain body shape can wear bikinis but others get disgusted looks. Or why it is so socially unacceptable to wear the Borat mankini. Or taking it further: why is full nudity so unacceptable and offensive? My answer is: there is no logical answer and this is what the societal collective seem to have agreed.

Stupid idea. Better to just hot glue the remotes to your hand. I haven’t lost them since and never have to get up to get them from across the room.

How many floppies is that?

Helps for a little while. But if you still get drowsy when chewing, then your best bet is to park the car, drink a large serving of caffeine and set an alarm for 6 min and go to sleep. You just need to nod off to actually sleep for a couple of min. When you wake up with the alarm, that feeling of being unable to keep eyes open will be gone. The caffeine will start to kick in after 20 to 30 min and you can keep going much more safely. This adds 10 to 15 min to your journey in total.

Obviously depends on your situation. If you’ve not slept at all the previous night and still have 6 hours of driving to go, then accept that you’re fucked and get a room. Save your life and others.

Thanks ks for your post. Try more fibre.

You get better at something by learning and practising. Sounds so dumb and simplistic and obvious, but it amazes me how difficult people find it to truly accept and internalise this.

Shit at cooking? You can improve.

Shit at talking? You can improve.

Shit as a friend/spouse/parent? You can improve.

Shit at reining in your emotions? You can improve.

You could literally practice to be a funnier person if you wanted.

I guess this is now popularised as “growth mindset”.

This. You’re not causing permanent damage to a child by letting them sleep in your bed. You don’t need an academic answer on what research says about this.

I don’t like it because my kids kick and move around, so I don’t want them to sleep in my bed.

The main advice for parenting should always be “you do you”.

At work, I’ve put a sticker next to my monitor that has a picture of a dumpster fire and the caption “the strongest steel is forged in the fire of a dumpster”,

This is a pointless conversation man. There are clearly plenty of Linux zealots on Lemmy. Noobs like me have had a hard time with Linux. I’ve never understood the argument that “my experience was different, so your experience is invalid”. Once someone learns about something, they forget what it’s like to have no knowledge of the thing.

The Linux community was reacting like this when Linus (from LTT) installed PopOS and tried to install Steam and it somehow wiped his desktop environment. Shit happens in Linux and the noob experience is brushed aside, while touting “the year of Linux”. I really don’t get it.
