That’s really interesting and I’d love to read more

Why would the bee enthusiasts cull honey bees?

You either work your way through life or you leech off of others. Those are the options. There are kids who grew up in war zones, sleeping through air raids and watching those around them die. They still work. There are kids who were in and out of foster care, kids who watched their parents OD, kids who were SA’d every night, kids who slept on the street. Few people have had the ideal childhood you’re describing. Those people still work. They get into therapy. They make something of their life.

Quit making excuses for your laziness. Get a job.

A lack of organization. There’s no one central voice organizing large scale protests, so you get hundreds or thousands of smaller protests that don’t attract media attention.

Steam VR runs on Linux natively, doesn’t it? I switched to Linux a few weeks ago but haven’t tried VR gaming on it yet.

Agreed, Finch is a great way to keep track of self-care and watch your little creature thrive through it.

Yep, with the recent responses I now agree with you.

I don’t think they’re trolling, this seems to genuinely be their belief and warrants discussion. The poster mentioned recently that they have autism, and as a neurodivergent person myself I can attest that it often takes some back-and-forth to realize when I’m wrong.

“Just don’t get addicted to the thing designed to be addictive. It’s easy bro.”

I think they were using the karma count to show how much they utilized the platform, emphasizing how big the gesture of deleting their account was.

When I was deep in the Reddit hole I was obsessed with getting upvotes and avoiding downvotes. It was a dopamine hit. When I moved to Lemmy I joined an instance that doesn’t allow or show downvotes, and it has been a breath of fresh air.

I’m using a Samsung Odyssey Ark and use PIP or PBP to have my desktop and work laptop displayed together. No matter what I try, text becomes illegible on Windows in this mode, but it works flawlessly in Linux.

It worked for me. I was convinced to switch to Linux after joining Lemmy and I’m blown away every day at how much better it works. It’s just faster, smoother, and even has better compatibility with my monitor.

That’s your survival instinct doing what it’s supposed to do. Don’t let a stranger into your home, don’t go into a stranger’s home. That’s just asking to be a victim.

I’m on the top floor of a poorly-insulated midrise, and summers are absolutely miserable. I have a window AC in the bedroom, otherwise it’s all ceiling fans and ice packs. I bought a few “pillow insert cooling pads” (basically a Chillow) and just put them on my neck or in my shirt during the day. Frozen water bottles also help.

Oh my bad

Asshole first is obvious. Assholes are great for pointing out pitfalls in new projects, and raise legitimate concerns. The bore is next. They’ll approach the project with the same indifference as the average end user, and the asshole will lend them a voice for their grievances. The idiot is last. They’ll be the workhorse to move the project along.

I wouldn’t recommend it. I did this once (didn’t see the cop). He just pulled up next to me at the next red light and shook his head in disapproval, but I fully expected to be pulled over. Tbf I’m white and was presenting female at the time, so I imagine it would have gone differently if I was any other demographic.

My Samsung does it too.

I’m not sure I agree with this, unless OP did something offensive. I’m back in the dating world for the first time in nearly a decade, and with every match that goes poorly either I explain “I’m sorry, I don’t see this going anywhere further but I wish you the best.” or they do the same for me. The only instance of ghosting was when a man tried to SA me a few months ago.

Jobs you’re applying to, as well, should send a response to your application even if it’s just an automated generic email.

This is the bad place.
