I hear you, but I’m not here to fight or be accused, ridiculed or hated upon. You can’t save people from themselves.

If it were only a few, but -60 within a few hours with such a small amount of Lemmy users tells me, this is not the place for civilized discussion. Not to mention that it got deleted… no thanks, I won’t be putting too much work and thought into critical comments anymore when there’s a risk of going to waste anyway.

Not only downvoted, but my comment was also deleted by someone after it had like 60 downvotes. When that happened, I started considering moving away from Lemmy right after coming here, because it seemed to be a worse echo chamber than Reddit had ever been.

Only because it wasn’t easy and also not easily accessible via Memmy (which I really like) I stayed for the time being. For example, I can’t login to a kbin account (only subscribe to kbin communities) and I don’t have access to Mastodon using Memmy.

So I guess already like Apollo kept me with Reddit, Memmy keeps me here for the time being. I stopped participating in anything remotely controversial though and became a lurker because I learned that day, discussion and a variety of opinions are not what the majority of users here are after. Maybe that’s true for all social media, idk…

Yes, if the projected range is more optimistic than reality, it’s always because I drive faster than 120-130 kph. Otherwise it’s absolutely spot on or even better than projected, for example if I drive 100-110 kph for a while.

These contests are full of ideology, so a trans person has a significant advantage over the others. There aren’t enough heartwarming and sob stories in the world to compensate for that.

On the other hand, I don’t really care if those kind of competitions are unfair. If they help trans people convey a message, that’s probably the best thing that can come out of them.

Has Indonesia still blocked Reddit as well?

The selective reasoning here amazes me to no end. It’s always Twitter bad, Elon bad, but nobody seems to care about the giant government-circlejerk (or reacharound if you prefer that image) that was uncovered via the Twitter files after Elon Musk took over.

So it’s okay to censor and lie doing the government’s bidding, sometimes even preemptively, but it’s not okay to rebrand your company after all this massive pile of shit was uncovered?

Just LOL

When I read stuff like this, I’m reminded of how lucky I am to live in a country where it’s safe for me and my family.

Although they probably value life in general and every new day much more than the westerners do on average.

Cut it all to 2-3mm. To maintain, you only need a hair trimmer. I haven’t been to a hair professional for over 20 years now… no regrets.

Yeah only with a Tesla you don’t have to drive to a Tesla shop and wait for an hour or even days, you get an OTA update.

Seconding this.

When it costs 17.000 instead of it being legalized for general use, you know it’s not for the good of the people.

One can only hold that this step allows for more research to prove benefits, and thereby create political pressure to legalize it and make it available at low cost.

I’m glad this was the top comment

Or the interviewer could have acknowledged the stress this put on the applicant and actively suggested they take care of the baby, short break, no problem.

But the interviewer chose to be shitty and judgmental.

You do you, but it would drain me too much to work a job just for the money if it doesn’t fulfill me in some way directly. I’d compare it to working a shit job your whole life with the goal to finally retire and enjoy life.

Only then, you’re too tired or have health problems, so you can’t enjoy life after all.

Try something and probably change your mind later. Not having payed a fortune for an education before your change of heart would be extremely helpful though.

Try to pick something that gives you freedom instead of limiting yourself. A craft might be good, or an internship before studying if possible.

I’m shocked people seem to agree with this so much. While there are certainly circumstances where you don’t have much choice, spending your life in a job/career that doesn’t give you meaning and fulfillment will probably depress everyone sooner or later.

From the article… there’s no evidence of life on Mars though, because those organic compounds could have formed in a lifeless environment as well. A sample return mission for further analysis is planned to touch down on earth in 2033.

Still fascinating to think about Mars lakes full of life in ancient times.
