The backfire effect. Here’s a nice funny comic to explain it. https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe

Because depending the culture of your employees, the pot never gets emptied, grows mold, and filters get reused for that unique taste. No matter how many beatings are given to employees, they will continue these bad habits even when you terminate half your staff for this. In fact, some pride themselves of drinking out of a pot that has a disgusting mountain of old grinds at the bottom of it.

Instead of spending the time to constantly deal with this, the inconvenience is now they didn’t throw the cup away or it’s empty. Production is up again and moral is improved by 2%.

Self defense is a thing. I notice most these comics that end up on my front page pretty much suck. Oh a .ml post. I see. Is there a non .ml version of “comics” somewhere?

THAT SENTENCE HAD TOO MANY SYLLABLES! APOLOGIZE!

This sounds like the machine from Idiocracy that prints your ID on your arm. First Name: “Not” Last name: “Sure” Tattooing “Not Sure” on your arm for identification!

Yeah the HT269-GH262J has nothing on the HT269-GH262J-P#@/JKL

Sort what you know is predictable bs. For example, you know the bad actors are going to always say or do outrageous things for distraction. I use the uBlock Origin browser plugin with filters for “Trump” “Elon” “Maga” and most news sites have about 2 or 3 articles worth reading. Entries even get blanked on Lemmy. Instead of seeing “TRUMP, ELON, MAGA DO THIS!!!” You now see “Secretary of Defense halts Cybersecurity from offensive attacks on Russia” from a decent source. This narrows most news to either things that may affect you directly or helps you build a better informed opinion. Also, if you are in the US, take every opinion from the house of reps and the senate and throw it in the trash. Until they quit acting like children and begin negotiating like adults, they have absolutely nothing good to say. That’s a good chunk of the “news” right there. So when you see stuff like “REP INTRODUCES BILL TO …” just stop reading. If you care to look further look for the bill number and actually read it. Most of the time it’s really stupid crap tactics just to rile up the public. They have been doing that for well over a century. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

tl;dr: sort the troll news.

Can start with people not directing anyone to the .ml, or .ml like instances for starters. Maybe even sticky that the top.

I can see this going absolutely side ways when your mind tries to cope with where 1000+ hours of your life went. Also you’d probably get 1000+ hours of ads beamed into your brain to make up for that gap of time, unless you pay for the “Memory+” or “Memory Max” tier, with just slightly less ads. Would be cool to experience a game for the first time again, but I would just read a book or share gaming “war stories” with my imaginary buddies.

I can smell this post.

Recommend using Ublock Origin filters to filter out all the crap. My browsing experience is so much better without being bombarded by the same bs all day everyday.

“Instruction no clear”

Holy smokes I remember having these toys as a kid and losing the pieces on the first day.
