  • When you vote why don't they just say something like this will raise your taxes for this and over here won't. Wouldn't it be simpler?

  • Your proposed "simplification" kind of hinges on the idea that higher taxes are inherently bad.

    I'd be fine with my taxes being raised to support schools, public transportation, affordable housing, social programs, and other things that support an overall healthier community. I don't want my taxes raised to increase policing, subsidize luxury housing, or develop car-centric infrastructure.

  • TIL the number of serial killers peaked in the US in the 1970's. In the 70's there were 300 known, 1980s 250 known.

  • Nobody wants to work (at serial killing) anymore

  • What are you proud of lately?

  • Teach me your ways

  • What are you proud of lately?

  • As an introvert I love connecting with strangers! Give someone a compliment or just smile and say good morning, and then... there's no expectations! When I'm feeling socially exhausted it can be hard to force myself to still have a human interaction or two, so saying a few sentences to a stranger is a low-stakes way to make sure I don't ask of the sudden find myself not having uttered a word in days.

  • What are you proud of lately?

  • Hell yeah! Losing 10 pounds is HARD even without BED. I'm struggling with motivation to lose weight lately–working out and feeling healthier, but not managing my own binge behavior which is impossible to out-exercise. I'm really impressed and proud of you!

    What are you proud of lately?

  • Anyone here in or had peri?

  • The anxiety thing is so real. I've heard of hot flashes of course, it's the stereotypical peri/meno thing. But when I had my first one, I was surprised that it was a combination of feeling like I was on fire plus almost... panic attack type feelings? But without any emotional element, just purely physical. I was shook up for like 10 minutes after my body cooled down.

  • Monday motivation... what are you going to get sorted this week?

  • ... Swedish death clean?

  • Monday motivation... what are you going to get sorted this week?

  • Okay, if you go upstairs and get your meds, I'll time you! Ready, set, GO

  • I feel like an undateable bingo card, and I hate myself (and the world) for it

  • I wonder if it's less so the views and moreso how you express them? I am actually in agreement work all of your listed views, but this post was off-putting to me. I wonder if you're coming across somewhat "woe is me" or possibly "I'm so edgy" because with a few limited sentences you have to give the broad strokes of who you are, you talk about things that you think make you unlikeable.

    It's not lying to not put that stuff in your profile. Take it out, go on some dates, and talk about that stuff when it naturally comes up.

    I could see an exception to that being to state in your profile that you don't want kids. I would say that, though, not that you're "antinatalist."

  • @casualconversation @casualuk how many of you can type without looking down at the keyboard ?

  • I knew that young people don't seem to know how to use computers but it didn't occur to me that even touch typing would be done away with. They all have had Chromebooks forced into their classrooms, they can't put Mavis Beacon on there? Not being taught to type really explains why many seem to struggle with computers generally, though. Everything is so much more difficult when it's so slow.

  • @casualconversation @casualuk how many of you can type without looking down at the keyboard ?

  • Also a millennial. Are younger people not learning to type in school?

  • Reddit stock drops 9% as Google AI content deal nears expiration

  • A problem I've seen also is creating a niche community because you don't want to just get the general content, but since there's simple fewer users it's just dead. And when someone else thinks about switching to Lemmy, they see a bunch of dead communities and are like "oh this site is dead."

    It's annoying but on a newer site(/federation of sites) those niche communities need to be conversations that start in a more generalized community that enough people want to branch it off into it's own thing. So there's already core users, so it's not DOA.

  • Reddit stock drops 9% as Google AI content deal nears expiration

  • Unless they get banned

  • What is your favourite hobby and what do you value it for?

  • Can i get examples of how different meds affect people?

  • I'm on Vyvanse and there is a lot more variability in effectiveness now that there are several different generics on the market. Something to be aware of if you get back on it, to tweak dosage or see if your insurance will cover brand if your Rx specifies brand as a medical necessity.

  • The "JUST 2 MINUTES" rule

  • I have a corollary of this: time to get ready, drive somewhere, etc. only exists in 15 minute increments.

    If I think something is a 5 minute drive, it's because the time I hit every single green light and there wasn't a single car. If I tell myself I need 15 minutes then I probably end up about 5 minutes early which is so much better than constantly being late. Same for like, "all I need to go l do is put my shoes on and grab my coat so I'm going to waste time doing something into right before I have to leave." Nope. I need 15 minutes dedicated strictly to getting ready to walk out the door. Gives me time to find my keys, change my mind about what shoes I want to wear, decide I want to fill up my water bottle before I leave, the dozen little things I always forget are part of getting out the door. It usually doesn't take 15 minutes, so it then gives me a bit of extra cushion for traveling to whatever's next.

    I used to be late to everything and now I'm early for everything and much less stressed.
