And be weary of folks doing the same to you, especially here on Lemmy with all the 'genocide Joe' shit or encouraging apathy because of the shit debate.
I'm already quite weary of that!
("Weary" means tired; you probably meant "wary" which means cautious)
Usually Twinings, but I'll accept store brand for black tea. Lipton or Tetley for green teas.
I used to say I was never going to get old...
Only way to do that isn't pleasant. Gotta die young.
I didn't discount your personal experiences or suggest that your feelings are invalid.
What I said was that I think it's unwarranted to extend your hatred to an entire group of people around the entire world (many of whom seek out the profession specifically out of a desire to help people) because of your experiences.
So they added an off-topic whataboutism so they could get up on their soapbox? Lol
Was WW1 preceded by many countries electing right-wing or """strong""" leaders?
I'd imagine the people wouldn't want to destroy their own infrastructure to stop the train. Though they could rebuild, maybe the people felt that it'd hurt them more than the Japanese?
And maybe the Korean people were taking pot shots at trains before they were armoured (which again, wouldn't damage their infrastructure).
All just speculation here though.
I'm sorry to have infuriated you, and I sympathize with your experiences.
I know for a fact that your experience is not normal, at least where I live, and I think your hatred of all mental health professionals around the world is unwarranted. I know I won't be the person to change your mind though.
The reason I suggested it wasn't "negative emotions" or being an "unhappy worker", but the part of your original post that (it seems you've edited out) suggested potential suicidal ideation.
There are some free or low cost talk therapy services, and not all of them will be "officially approved" by your government, which I think would be a selling point in your case. If you ever need help and don't know where to turn, some of those might be of assistance. And I haven't heard of any of them demanding your medical records before offering to help. I'm sure some of them are even anonymous.
Thank you! It was a few steps removed and I didn't know it was there, but it was worth it!
Thank you. I tried to read the article, got two pop ups (for notifications and cookies requests, I think), then saw it ended in a paywall maybe a paragraph in. So, I was reminded why I don't usually read articles, lol
I remember hearing that big box stores killed malls. I thought they killed malls, and Amazon killed big box stores, but Amazon can also kill malls, so it was a bit of a double-whammy for malls
You're right. At the same time, there are now alternatives that generally don't require being in places that are trying to get you to spend money just to interact with other people.
I'm an ally, but I don't put my pronouns in any profile. I let people figure it out for themselves. Pronouns are only useful for talking about me anyways. If they get it wrong, it's not really a big deal, and if it might cause confusion, I'll correct them.
To the content of your post though, I sincerely hope that you are able to access some therapy.
I used to use this maybe a decade ago. I'm glad to see it's still around!
I've unfortunately switched to Google Calendar when my workplace started using it informally, and it's just been the easiest to stick with.
Could just be a fan of artist René Magritte
I think it's because dreams are "run" by the part of the brain that evolved in nature, and doesn't access the parts of the brain we use to access much of anything we've invented.
I occasionally have/had dreams about writing tests. There's almost always a problem with both being able to read the question and being able to write the answer! Lol
What did people do when I was bored?
They were doing fun things that I didn't want to do. Maybe play sports, or experiment with drugs? Lol
I used to be able to press the microphone button on my home screen and say "Start 5-minute timer" and it would start the timer.
Now, when I do that, it does a Google search for "Start 5-minute timer".
How do I get that functionality back?
I don't want to open an app, and I don't want to use a number pad or anything to enter the number.
EDIT: Thank you! I went into the Gestures section of Settings, and now I can long-press the power button to get the desired behaviour. This might even be more convenient than tapping the mic icon!

Tap search button on the bottom.

Clicking the unfilled heart (to subscribe) results in the error presented in the attached screenshot.

The back button (Android) doesn't work. App must be force-closed.

I might be one update behind current as of Mar 18
Bananas are ridiculously cheap even up here in Canada, and they aren't grown anywhere near here. Yet a banana can grow, be harvested, be shipped, be stocked, and then be purchased by me for less than it'd cost to mail a letter across town. (Well, if I could buy a single banana maybe...or maybe that's not the best comparison, but I think you get my point)
Along the banana's journey, the farmer, the harvester, the shipper, the grocer, the clerk, and the cashier all (presumably) get paid. Yet a single banana is mere cents. If you didn't know any better, you might think a single banana should cost $10!
I'm presuming that this is because of some sort of exploitation somewhere down the line, or possibly loss-leading on the grocery store's side of things.
I'm wondering what other products like bananas are a lot cheaper than they "should" be (e.g., based on how far they have to travel, or how difficult they are to produce, or how much money we're saving "unethically").
I've heard that this applies to coffee and chocolate to varying extents, but I'm not certain.
Anyone know any others?
I've got a fairly new 14tb Seagate Expansion. It works fine, and I've been using it for a month and a bit.
I don't know how long it's been doing this, but the power supply is making a very faint alarm sound. The power supply is plugged into a Belkin surge protector powered on and with the "protected" status light lit, and it is plugged into an outlet. The HDD is currently not plugged in to a computer.
It's not a beep or electricity. It's a distinct weewooweewoo. I couldn't even determine the source until I pressed my ear against it.
Googling just points me towards typical "my HDD is making a sound, how long do I have until it dies", but nothing pointed me to the alarm sound from the power supply.
I'll check again if it makes the alarm in other conditions, but in the meanwhile, I was hoping someone here might know something.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: The sound only happens when...
- Power adapter is plugged into the HDD, AND the outlet
- HDD is NOT plugged into the computer.
Plugging it into the computer stops the noise from the power adapter.
Due to personal circumstances, I haven't had much time for gaming in the last year.
I did have a couple of months in the summer with some free evenings though, so I dumped a bunch of time into Pokemon Violet, and I also completed Super Mario Sunshine, spending several hours getting those last few shines and blue coins after leaving the game at ~85% completed back in 2022.
Other than those 2 games, I hadn't really played much of anything on the Switch.
My year in review said I put a ton of hours into Pokemon Violet, single-digit hours into F-Zero 99, and less than 1 hour into NES online.
No mention of Super Mario 3D All-Stars.
I was wondering why it didn't count. But then I realized that these year-in-review things are not a nice service or gift to subscribers... they're ADS that they intend people to share with their friends to get their friends to buy more games. (What's a better review than "Your best friend played this game for 200h last year"?)
Since SM3DAS isn't available in the shop, it'd be useless to advertise that game. So maybe Nintendo is excluding it from their calculations...
Can anyone else confirm or deny this? Did anyone have any delisted games make their year-in-review? Or am I just going to need to spend a ton of time 100%ing Super Mario Galaxy in 2024, and only play 2 other games on my Switch? Lmao
I know money can't buy happiness blahblahblah.
Do they do gift exchanges at all?
Do they ask for anything?
They have enough money that they could get anything made or done for them at a moment's notice. Like having ChatGPT, but for services. Ridiculous things we couldn't imagine.
Anyone have any insight into general trends along those lines?
