Also, this is pure pet peeve, but have you ever seen that MBFC has a rating for itself? It pops up if someone links to it in the body of the post.

The highest possible scores in both categories, of course. 🙄

Even if you perfectly solve crashes (doubtful, definitely not something that exists right now), the problems of microplastic pollution from tires and emissions from electricity generation are non-trivial.

Probably also the record for ‘getting people you have shot in the face to apologize to you on TV’. It only happened once, but it was still weird.

edit: fuck me I’m getting old, that was Dick Cheney.

Correct, that still doesn’t make me able to do anything about how lemmy.ml is run. Consider not going nuclear on people who didn’t cause your issue and have only offered to show you how to access the information you want.

My man, I have absolutely nothing to do with lemmy.ml. Look at my username, I’m on Blahaj. I am a random person explaining to you how to access your instance’s rules.

Opening with calling people dickwads because you don’t understand how to interact with your client or instance isn’t a great way to get help.

What you linked to here isn’t related to the rules of lemmy.ml, your instance. If you look at the top of the page of lemmy.ml, you’ll see a menu that says “sidebar”. Open it and it lists the instance rules. This is rule 2:

Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

Wow, it’s been years since I’ve seen this photo. Wasn’t the context that this dude just flashed people at an anti rape rally or something?

It’s honestly shocking how different he is now in speeches. He still came off as a sleaze bag 30 years ago, but not someone I would assume is functionally illiterate.

I can’t think of any audience that would be worse to interact with for Only Fans type content than redditors.

Did she have a procedure for dealing with people coming in and out of doors? I’d be terrified one would make a run for it!

Therapy and medication has put me in the best state I’ve been in for basically my entire life. I’m not “cured” or anything, but between the meds and processing a lot of shit in therapy I’m at least better able to cope and interrupt my own negative spirals much more easily.

I’d been doing all the self soothing, meditation, etc techniques that people recommend for decades, and it was really only after dealing with underlying issues in therapy and getting on meds that those things actually started working for me.

I was kind of mad when I realized that because for so many years I thought I just needed to git gud, but it turns out most people can’t hype themselves out of the lingering effects of childhood trauma! Who could have foreseen this 🥴

Get therapy if you feel there’s even a remote possibility you could benefit from it, especially if you can check anything off the adverse child experience list. The way trauma impacts you and your relationships with everyone else, and even your body, is hard to understand when it’s normal to you.

This article is about people crossing the border illegally, they can’t vote.

Funnily enough, they don’t have blue pigments! I don’t understand the exact physics, but from what I understand they have yellow pigment that lies underneath a layer of cells that reflect blue light back, which combine to make green. But if you were to isolate the yellow pigment it would still look yellow, while the blue reflecting cells only look blue in specific lighting conditions.

Yeah, Rimworld was in early access for 5 years and was worth the price the entire time IMO. Project Zomboid has been in early access for over a decade! If you just blanket ignore early access games you’re cutting yourself off from some excellent games.

Come off it, not being allowed to be on your cell phone during school hours isn’t the same as KOSA.

The APA document you linked even specifically discusses the effects of social media (what do you think they’re using their phones for?) on mental health.

Being outside in nature. Even landscapes that look “dead” are full of life and history if you slow down and look closely around you.

I grew up wandering my grandparents’ woods as a kid, I associate being out in nature in general with being unobserved and not having to mask, which is just more relaxing.

I usually stick to beer, but I love a fruity wheat beer.

If you let your cat outside in the Americas (or anywhere cats haven’t lived for thousands of years) unsupervised I’m going to assume one of the following is true: you don’t care if your cat dies, and/or you don’t care about wildlife. Even if you live in a place with zero predators, why the hell are you trusting a CAT with road safety?

Saying this as someone who grew up with parents that let our cats live (and die, a lot) that way. And as someone who has seen two friends lose cats to coyotes in the past year. And also interrupted an attack on someone’s pet by a coyote. It’s been a bad fucking year here for coyotes.

The difference between how 80 F feels at 65% humidity vs 45% humidity is ridiculous. Lower humidity also makes cooling yourself by misting or damp cloths a lot more effective, because it will evaporate quicker.
