Without using pronouns (me, he, she, it, etc) or articles (a, an, the), how did you come up with your user name?
Just name. Boring. Add magik! No more boring

As an Italian I’m sorry, Lemmy is more important than our flag

What is something that sounds 100% false but is actually 100% true?
550/2 is not 225 and 77+33 is not 100

What's your "old person" trait?
Reply in thread
Usually after 2 months I feel so bad that I don’t have the gut to reply… I hate when people ghosts me and when I do it I feel like shit! But I’m extremely introverted so sometimes I can’t function with people…

If you could plant a single thought in the minds of everyone on Earth simultaneously, what thought would you choose to share?
It’s not a thought but I would put empathy

Alternative to defederation
Idk ban lists are a gateway for abuse especially for minorities, see the gamergate ban lists which included trans people for no reason

La soluzione anti-porno per i minori, voluta da Roccella, sarà la più grande schedatura biometrica di massa mai fatta al mondo sui fruitori del porno!
Ma poi cosa pensano di risolvere che ci saranno migliaia di chat su telegram dove girano foto e video porno, secondo loro i ragazzini non sanno dove andare a cercare?
Come al solito puntano al sintomo invece di concentrarsi sulla causa del problema

That's rough, buddy.
If these are my golden years I can’t imagine what shit is waiting for me in the future

Because the moment you don’t have any for whatever reason withdrawal is horrible, you can’t function properly without it… also you have to consider the risk of overdosing, for opioids is very high if you’re not careful

Come faccio ad entrare su feddit.it con profili di altre istanze?
Le credenziali di un’istanza bastano per seguire le community di altre istanze ma per cominciare devi per forza andare nel tuo caso su lemmy.world o lemmy.zip, andare nella barra di ricerca e digitare il nome della community che vuoi seguire, per esempio ![email protected] oppure feddit.it/c/fediverso
Se non ti compare subito quando fai la ricerca aspetta almeno 30 secondi, poi entri nella community e ti comparirà il pulsante per seguirla

Americans seem to support abortion access. Why do Republicans keep trying to block it anyway?

The Pope? Pope Francis is more “leftist” than some American leftist! Why do they feel that he would tell them to vote Republican? I don’t know how American Catholics perceive the church, I just hear a lot about evangelicals in the US

Yes they want to be a safe space for their users, if some people want to talk on the internet without being harassed I’m happy for them

Can you easily communicate in your country (business/private life) without being involuntarily forced to use whatsapp?
In Italy everyone and their mom use Whatsapp, even if I need to communicate with a business like for ordering a medicine at a pharmacy, I can call them on their land line (absolutely no thanks) or I can send them a Whatsapp. I have telegram just for public group chats and matrix for the fediverse group chats, no one irl use signal or matrix, a few have telegram but WhatsApp is the standard here

But how can I meditate when my mind keeps jumping around?
You said it perfectly, mindfulness is not the absence of thoughts but the awareness that they always come and go and you have to learn not to stagnate on them and letting them go, like a flow on a river or clouds in the sky. For me visualizations like those work well but other people focus on breathing or on their bodies

That is true for every addiction, like gambling, it’s not the opioid that makes you not functioning per se, I met some people that you couldn’t believe they were junkies because even if the substance was their priority it wasn’t at the expense of everything else. Alcohol abuse it’s the worst, I saw people devastated from it and it’s legal…

What is your favorite insult in your native language that doesn't exist or cant be directly translated in English?
In Italian when you can’t swear with a “vaffanculo” (f you) you can say “vai a quel paese” that’s “go to that country” And specifically in Milanese dialect you can also say “va a ciapà i rat” “go catching rats”
