  • The percentage of linux users is also great.

    Yes! I don't feel like a weirdo here for using Linux exclusively on my computers. It's nice to interact with a community that shares the values which lead each of us to use Linux. But even within that, the users here are not only respectful, but celebrate novice users that use distros like Mint. In my experience, some Linux users can be rude by presenting a sense of superiority for using distros that take lots of technical expertise. Not only does that not seem to be the case on Lemmy, but it's actually made fun of (I use Arch, btw 😉).

  • Lemmy seems a more safe place for LGBT+ people

    In my opinion, Lemmy is a trans party 🥳🎉 There are so many memes about being trans almost daily. I can't tell if there is a large portion of Lemmy users that are trans, we just like celebrating the idea, or I happened to subscribe to trans-heavy communities like !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone. Either way, even though I'm cis-af, I love it. You go, girl/boy!

  • That sucks! I got dengue fever once, and it pretty bad. I can't imagine getting dengue and two others at the same time cause I was just hanging out. And this dude got it in New Hampshire. He wasn't even in a mosquito paradise like Africa or the Caribbean. This guy got West Nile Virus from a mosquito in New England. Fuckkkkk 😩

    I imagine everyone that's been around him was feeling odd since it could have happened to them too. Kind of like if I had been stopped at a light right next to a car that got rear-ended and put the driver in the ICU. Also, I know I'd be hypervigilant of any symptoms for like 2-3 weeks, reading all of the early symptoms of each disease the guy got. "Oh no, I think I have EEE/St. Louis Encephalitis/West Nile Virus, too. I'm fucked."

  • Some classical symphonic music greatest pieces album that's at least 2 CDs worth, but hopefully more. Being on a desert island, I'm sure I will go through all sorts of moods and emotions, so I'll need something for everything.

  • Also, as an adult, you have to provide for yourself. Without language, that virtually becomes impossible. Therefore, you have to keep using a language you already know, which reduces immersion. As a 2-5 year-old, everything is provided for you, so you don't have to use a language you already know. You can just be there messing up language all you want in trial-and-error until you get it.

    To make a real quasi-experimental study (random assignment is impossible because age cannot be assigned), we'd have to ensure that adults are given the same amount of support with activities of daily living as children. We'd also have to give them the same understanding, compassion, and forgiveness for mistakes, and also encouragement and esteem support.

    After thinking it through to write this comment, I think the original microblog post is based af.
