People tend to keep their views and the world was a lot different when they were young. It’s hard for them to see that conditions have changed or that the victims of the change are not the issue because it worked fine for them in ideal conditions to start a family etc.

They’ve been programmed by American propaganda about rugged individualism to not seek help with internal strife and to be judgemental of those who lean on others, as well as a specifically targeted belief about therapy being unnecessary and wasted money through even most Hollywood depictions.

It’s not a dead end starting point for someone to change for the better, but it’s a big hill to get over for someone who accepts no advice, especially from those younger than them.

That all being said, my grandma is in her 80s and is far more progressive than almost every boomer I’ve ever met and even most gen x.

Yes, it’s called harm reduction. You would do well to adopt it as well if you want others’ help. You wouldn’t help you if you weren’t you, so have the day you advocate for, hopefully the experience is humbling for you.

Good. Now stop spreading bullshit on the internet and you’ll approach the realm of being worth interacting with.

Have the day you voted for, sir.

Serious as viewed from GameStop’s perspective, and maybe even just one man at the top. eBay has already said their offer is not remotely attractive to them. I think their current CEO unfortunately thinks the only way to run a business is to create controversy. I hope they didn’t take the wrong lesson from the Gamestop stock rally, but it seems at least one person did.

I believe what you’re looking for is a union, not a lawsuit.

I think it largely depends on the hobby and how general you want to be about it. I was talking with my wife about this a few years ago and we came to the conclusion that I had a lot of examples of my dad finding solutions to obstacles on his own to where I feel like I can solve almost any issue solo, it’s just a matter of how much time and resources do I have to give. Her upbringing was that a service had to be called and a temporary solution put in place. The temporary solution worked but was miserable in the meantime. Also she wasn’t part of the temp or permanent solution whereas I was “holding the flashlight”.

It’s also interesting because my sister experienced the same examples as me, but because I was here and willing she kinda just lets me be dad in fixing situations now. I think there’s an eagerness that men bring with often misguided confidence until they do it enough to get good and my wife would say she wants something to be easy from the beginning before she’ll confidently take on the task without me. This is going to be very different couple to couple though, since I can recall a lot of men who act helpless about problems within my ability to control. Often their wives take on that role instead and they seek women who do that sorta stuff because it’s a great team dynamic.

Probably rambling too much for the TLDR to be, “it depends” my bad

Another great example of why people who show no capacity for empathy should be shunned from society until they change. She cries about her own abortion, but how many women have already died before she decided to shed a tear for herself?

Have you ever been knocked out before? Instant time travel into the future. Probably something like that without the ringing sound in your head from whatever hit you. Oh, and also that you never wake up.

I like the idea of reincarnation, but maybe it’s my antitheist limited brain, transitioning to a creature with vastly different intelligence or central nervous system seems like the me I am still ceases to exist. Same vibes doesn’t even really check out when folks with brain ailments go through massive personality changes and I wouldn’t ever expect someone to “maintain their vibe” through that change.

Your instance rules apply to you, so .ml, as do the instance rules of the community you’re posting on, so lemmy.world, and finally the individual community rules also apply. If you do not follow rules of third party instances it’s possible you will be banned from those instances, but if you’re okay with .ml and .world at the same time then I doubt you’d stumble upon many other issues outside of state censorship maybe as someone mentioned for Chinese instances.

It’s the only pill I couldn’t take. I ended up getting vancomyacin instead, which is a lot more expensive. It felt ridiculous, but when you throw up after taking it you don’t really think it’ll go better the second time.

I.never tried the pineapple trick. I did try coating it in thick stuff like honey. It pierced right through

Prolly a spider that had crawled into my fountain drink straw or viewed another way when I vomited up a metronidazole pill that I had worked very very hard to swallow without tasting and immediately vomited again as a result. If you’re unfamiliar it’s the antibiotic pill that makes you taste metal.

Probably the main reason for not having high value currency in the US is because a CTR would be triggered simply for having one. It would sorta make more sense to put tracking chips on them all than to individually log every transaction ever using one.

Smaller bills let you avoid the treasury department’s checks and balances on potential criminal activity much easier.

Tucker was fine right up until there were enough Republicans orphaned from the party to grift to. Don’t forget he said he fucking hated Trump long before he showed any sign that he didn’t wanna gargle his nuts. If you think Tucker shows an honest face, ever, you’re delusional. He has clear aims, but his method of achieving them always includes deception.

The real issue isn’t the intelligence of mythos 5, it is that they’re no longer part of the allowed unregulated AI vendors because they made the administration upsetty spaghetti. There is zero chance if Chatgpt had similar levels of security analysis and exploitation capabilities that there would be a roadblock in place. Especially if they took the path Anthropic did by including OS vendors, large hardware producers, and governments in the rollout.

In my whole 800+ org, I can probably only think of 3 or 4, but they definitely meet the description you prescribe. It’s mostly people who burn through departments, friends, and patience of their coworkers.

There’s a difference between people who are great to know because of their utility and being their friend because of it. That being said, in business it often is reduced to that. I think lots of business folks blend the line too much with the salesman approaches, playing golf, celebrating client milestones, etc. In some ways the people around you are your pool of potential friends, so it’s not that weird, but anyone with a checkbox for a mechanic, an electrician, an accountant, etc, Is just a user.

I work around a lot of talented and knowledgeable people, many of them are masters of their craft, and it spans white collar and blue. It’s a great place to learn and have enthusiastic conversations as a hobbyist or novice to a master. I think us all helping each other out is kinda beautiful in its own way, but if I felt they didn’t enjoy helping me for free then I wouldn’t ask.

Probably a strong asterisk for “depending on what country.” Recitivism tends to be less desired in countries which outsource their prison systems either to other countries or corporations.

Wouldn’t a full fledged abandonment of electoralism, the kind that would be required to look at AOC as an enemy, just be excellerationism? I guess if your loyalties are always strictly dismantling* US stability then you’d just view it as starving the beast. In this way you’d be pretty well aligned with incompetent fascists, since the US is in a spiraling decline that will now inevitably result in us losing our authority on the world stage. Just for different reasons than they would use I guess.

In that way, how can leftists take MLs seriously, when their world view is largely agreement, but their actions and attacks are directly opposed to democratic socialists a lot of the time. You also have to couple in that while you may attack fascists too, any division amongst the left is multiplied by 100x over divisions in the center or right since billionaires hold the microphone.

It’s not really arbitrary when those you agree most with are also in your crosshairs on actions of substance. It’s also very telling that most situation here on Lemmy that at least I see ML presence it’s on these edge cases, rather than things like Rick Scott almost single handedly showing a failure of electoral politics when he created the nations biggest organized Medicaid fraud ring, something people being polled seem to care about, and then was elected into office anyways as an equal to Bernie Sanders. Is this a blind spot on my part or do you feel calling out the best representatives as more impact for your message that the system sucks? What we see is us working and you complaining.
