Kids ARE very resilient. That's the problem. Therapists know this despite the joke.

As a kid you're so resilient you'll accept anything as "that's the way it is" and so a child will shape their themselves around that world view. Then they grow up with a twisted view of how things are and it requires therapy to unlearn that.

It's like scar tissue on a wound. You healed but you're not quite the same. That wound is now less sensitive to feeling in it's environment and can even be more susceptible to further wounding.

The people who dont want to be told how they live desperately want someone to tell them how to live.

Damn Lemmy users are no different from Reddit. Don't read anything. Take anything you did read out of context. Be sure to rage post your own ignorance so we can all read about it.

Look I'm fine if the govt wants to say a particular corporation is too big to fail. But trying to let that company remain private is not how too big to fail works. If you want a bailout, the govt owns your company, and the govt is obliged to maintain ownership for as long as it's deemed too big to fail...e.g. critical to national interests.

I can always tell when my wife is on some ad cuz it's just the idea out of no where with no context. The more distant from social media you get the more you see it influencing others.

Might be the best use of AI I've seen

The reality despite what you or i might do, is that 99% of people don't carry around an ethernet or hardwire in when there is available wifi.

The library might be public, but it's still a good idea to communicate your intent or obtain permission prior to using someone else's network in away they might deem to be unexpected.

"Do you have ethernet or wired internet?" is actually a common library question and the response from whoever works the front desk will likely tell you everything you need to know.

Pop: world is broken let's ignore it

R&b: world is broken let's smash

D&b: world is broken let's dance

People aren't bored enough. It's good for you.

Are you gatekeeping gatekeeping now?

It's almost like making money is not the primary purpose of this website 🤔

Linux loads the gtk libs when your desktop starts because it's a major component of gnu/gnome. Windows doesn't until you launch an app that would use it. It's not a small library.

Posts and comments is one thing... It's inherently public. But I think being able to see up and down vote publically is a tough pill. If you don't realize your votes can be seen you risk your vote being held against you. If you do know it disincentivizes you to use the vote system to protect yourself from something that should be rather benign.

Most paywalls know this and don't load the content at all. Don't do it because it doesn't work

The Aussies have an extreme right wing thing going on and that group just absolutely fucking loves trump cuz he's the fast-fasch king.

30 million copies sold. even if he only made a dollar into his pocket for each sale....hes doing alright.

ITT: people who don't realize that most USB-C cables are USB 2.0

This one time I put a guy on mute and he must have thought that I couldn't hear him. So he starts joking with his buddy. "I bet he's just Googling it"..

I was indeed. I think the real point is that not only do I know what to Google but I know what to do with what I've googled.

Jokes on you. How do you know not every bread has been fucked before you ate it? Checkmate, atheists.
