Brendan "Fatso" Fraser was such a terrible actor in The Whale, you could really tell he had one hand in a KFC bucket at all times. I'd much rather watch my favorite actor Dwayne "The Rock-Solid" Johnson muscle the emotions off the screen with his giant Johnson. Muscle is discipline and discipline is good acting, it is known.

I'd start with making them understand that independence is good for everyone involved. Then small steps towards independence, starting with a simple part-time job. The important part here is that they see more people than just their direct family, to show them the different ways people can function in society.

If this works out, help them identify some personal goals. The hard part of being a shut-in is that you have no agency over your life, so you give up on all your goals. Once you have a little agency, you can start finding goals again. Simple ones at first: saving up some emergency funds, getting a driver's license, making a weekend trip to get out of the house for a couple nights.

Also assuming they are classic shut-ins and not caretaker-type shut-ins: learning how to take care of the household, cooking, developing skills around the house. It's low barrier to entry, they are already in the house after all.

Most high school kids are already more influenced by their peers than their parents. Once you're an adult actual parental influence is almost nil if the child wants it to be.

You're talking about kids who wouldn't become shut-ins anyway. If you're bullied in high school and drop out at 16, the only "peer" influence is the trauma. Not that I experienced anything like that ;_;

I don't think the shut-in believes it's normal or okay to be a shut-in. It's a feeling of complete failure to fit in and isolating as a result. The longer the shut-in is ostracized (or keeping themself ostracized), the stronger the feeling becomes that they do not fit in, they will never fit in, if there was ever an opportunity to fit in they surely missed it now. Being a 38 year old shut-in is actually very believable to me,it isn't exactly a situation that challenges your beliefs or motivates you to change.

Sure, it's harsh to put this all on enabling parents, but you also don't get to 38 without enabling. You don't leave the "last resort" on the table for 10-15 years. The very long list should be exhausted within 2 years and one of the options should be a therapist specialized in shut-ins. Beyond that, you'll just have to hope and pray that one day something clicks in that brain and they start taking charge of their own life.

How strong is that spider that it can lift a turtle? Will one nuke be enough?

This, I think, is the real promise of vibe coding tools—that you can learn how to code without a CS degree.

I learned to code without a CS degree. I used a for Dummies book, W3schools, Stack Overflow and the good guidance of a senior developer. Learning to code was never the issue. And I think poking around in the code, experimenting, stumbling on unrelated but helpful answers, before finding your problem, are all great ways to become experienced that are prevented by the use of a tool like Bolt. If Bolt produces code that confuses experienced developers, how is the vibe coder supposed to learn anything useful from it?

Help, at one point I was younger than Shinji, but I am older than Misato now. But seriously, 30 is too young to be a cougar right?? She's a young woman, an older sister to Shinji and Asuka.

I love all trans people and all other people, unless they give me a reason not to love them. But most of all I love ^shots^ YOU!

What's this flattened piece of metal doing on the table? Wait a minute... Are you Superman in disguise and the bullets fired from a silenced gun bounced off your invulnerable chest and landed on the table? ...What am I saying? If that were true, Superman obviously would have eaten them to hide the evidence.

I don't get where this is going. How are Hatsune Miku, binders and the musical Hamilton related?

I want a microwave that has a database of every possible food type that tells it the optimal programming for everything, supported by sensors measuring weight, humidity, maybe even an infrared camera inside, if those can survive microwaves.

Until I have that: 100% until stuff starts to steam/bubble/boil, take it out, bite into it, regret not putting it in for longer, eat mostly cold leftovers.

Before liftoff, [Gayle] King – who co-hosts CBS Mornings – said she was approaching the rocket trip with trepidation. “I still get very uncomfortable when people say ‘astronaut’,” she said. “I in no means feel like an astronaut. They said: ‘But, Gayle, if you go to space, you’re an astronaut.”

Stepping on a boat doesn't make you a sailor.

This wasn't an "all-female mission", but the equivalent of the women-only carriage on a metro. Or more like a limo, actually, because you don't need a billionaire's personal invitation to ride the metro.

Thus, the Court easily concludes that the public has a strong interest in knowing the identity of the corporate entity that operates this website and is appearing in federal court

I come there all the time and I have absolutely no interest in knowing who operates it tbh. That information can basically only be used to do harm to nhentai.

Gimli was just trying to help in any way he can. You think anyone in Elftopia was capable of hitting the ring with as much power as a dwarf in the prime of his life? They couldn't even punch down a tree, which is why their land is overrun with the bloody things. And the one time they made a "legendary" sword, it famously shattered into a million pieces. Wouldn't have happened with proper dwarf craftsmanship, I tell you!

Where is she keeping her Yu-Gi-Oh cards?

X is under total control of that person. As long as the lemmy source adheres to fediverse principles, this developer can believe whatever they want and run their instance however they want, and no one else has to care. If his beliefs starts affecting the lemmy source, it's always an option to fork.

If you exclude a branch of the fediverse because of one bad instance, you're missing the point of the fediverse.
