I haven’t seen the posts (probably from deletion) but Lemmy to me is an invaluable source of smart Linux and selfhosters. Seems like a great place to ask questions for problem to me on the surface. Where should people like me go to if I need help? Genuinely asking
I imagine that is what happened. Fear of reversing can make somebody plunge further ahead with some hope they could get out of it at a lower point with no repercussions? Still the wrong move but people be dumb
Realized this in 2016 when real life people I knew slowed way down on sharing and shifted to using social media as consumption platforms. Most people I know talk themselves into needing it for work or distant relatives but it’s 99% reels and doomscrolling. I have no answers.
Going directly against your ask: a raspberry pi 3b is cheap and has what you need. :)
One way they will get around this through consolidation of companies as they merge and strike deals. We’ve already seen Disney+ “add value” when they added Hulu to their package. Long history of this but streaming is scary cause it’s not just traditional tv media. The goal of Netflix isn’t to be a movie studio. All of these “streaming” companies all want to become an Amazon. Grow, grow, grow. Add gaming, add some shopping, add a built-in advertising and data aggregation tool, whatever it takes, then get bought out bigger fish. Become new product. I give it a decade before “big tech” controls Hollywood and most American media.
I grew up culturally Christian and surrounded by soft-references to Christian stuff all the time. I try to see past whatever the literal thing they are saying and see the metaphor they are trying to express. People can have limited vocabulary and grow up in bubbles of their family, church, whatever. I try to give them Grace and just move on. Ultimately, they are trying to communicate a good thing with you. As long as they don’t start evangelizing or guilting, that’s different.
The computer or spreadsheet idea is a bit ridiculous to me on account of even ancient humans could devise the same method in a smaller scale without the backbreaking 5,000 holes being dug. Every other idea presented by the article makes sense to me.
US Midwest 9-5 jobs are normal even when not really sensical for all businesses. Very much a control and “you sit here cause I pay you to.” I worked a place that expected 8:30am - 5:30pm with an hour lunch break. Salaried work. I worked hourly at a distribution center that was 8:30 - 5:00pm with half hour lunch.
Works inside a closed system! Too many bad actors/sites across borderlines all directions in the real world.
Despite interesting debates. I think they all ignore the big issue: the internet.
Thank you. I feel like addressing the pure science of this is important. Not only do Americans poop, every cultures on the planet poops the same way (more or less). We are the same! Break down borders! Anarchy! Shit everywhere! No. Literally, visit an American truck stop. SHIT EVERYWHERE!
Paywall bypass or tl;dr?
No, there is a simple answer for sex and relationships out there. There’s gotta be. I JUST NEED TO FIND IT. LOUD NOISES.
Could be confused with Noam Chomsky but Dawkins appears up in the emails, probably with code names half the time: https://jmail.world/search?q=Dawkins
If I can scare you into drinking less acidic and sugary drinks: I was raised in a soda home. In 7th home economics class we did an assignment where we calculated the cans of soda we had on average. I thought my classmates were trolling me because they drank maybe 4 cans of soda a week while I was having around 40. I have had a lot of tooth decay later in life and had many teeth pulled. Turn around and treat it like a cigarette addiction. Some sugar in your life won’t kill you but watch out for habitual over-consumption.
Yep! Every food company in America has slowly been upping their sugar content in one way or another and it’s not just cause it may/may not taste better or last longer. Secret addiction runs deep with sugar. Starting with less sugar water is a great start. It is very, very hard to kick. Educate yourself and good luck!
And it’s also worth combining the sparkling water with the juice! If the sparkling water is just making you crave it anyways. Basically instant soda. Start with 4:1 ratio or to taste and you’ll be surprised after a month or two just how little juice you have to add to the water to taste it. Getting a sodastream with little sugar free flavor squirts made a huge difference to me being able to ditch a childhood sugar addiction.
I have recently comes to term with my faith. I grew up missionary Baptist and it wasn’t charismatic or anything but even as a kid it kindof feels ridiculous and I started to just try to take the moral lessons and that’s all. Science and astrophysics have always interested me at a hobbiest level but it wasn’t until recently the way it all works it quite beautiful. I am fully atheist but it’s all so ridiculous I would accept a God somehow started this all, but not really. Explore approachable science books, podcasts, and YouTube videos (and other federated stuff, if it exists). It is so fucking miraculous we exist in this vast empty void that (at the same time) is unimaginably large. Our planet and life is a miracle. Even if microbes exist out there, the fact we got to the point of “reason” is crazy! Any tip of quantum physics rules one way or the other and the universe is something else entirely. The way atoms come together and how we use them today is a species is miraculous. Humanity could really do anything if we were convicted enough. The whole “we are made of star stuff” is also quite deep when you go through the whole cycle with it. We are quite literally the universe somehow scraping itself together through energy, time, and space to culminate (for now) in some piece of itself that can question itself and move indepdently, reason, etc. Dope. If there is any reason to be good to one another is that we are soooo special. All life. And this planet! Hippy status activated. I don’t know if this changes my behavior but it can be some good feelings to pocket for rainy days.
Don’t speak to me like that, mortal.
