  • How do I improve my self-esteem?

  • Work on your negative self-talk.

    Each time you remember something and cringe or insult yourself, you overwrite that memory with you feeling shitty about it. It's a terrible feedback mechanism.

    Instead, laugh at your silly mistakes, celebrate your successes and failures, and forgive yourself.

    It will take a long time to unwind the stuff you have done to yourself, but this is one technique you can just start doing - recognize when you are beating yourself up and do a little better.

  • What's the most unforgivable sin done in media that you're still bitter about?

  • It's about the remake.

  • What's something in your life that you got through that you didn't think you'd get through?

  • IBS for me is dietary and stress/anxiety related. Certainly worth discussing with your doctor but if it is a new issue, I would not assume IBS.

  • What's something in your life that you got through that you didn't think you'd get through?

  • I thought I was dying in my 30s.

    I have IBS and it just skyrocketed in its effects on me over a period of a few years. Doctors had no clue.

    I lost my job, went bankrupt, and had a lost decade.

    Turned out I had a hernia that turned my IBS into regular intestine blockages. Public benefits paid for the surgery, and here I am almost twenty years later. (Worth noting that I met a woman who never thought she would find love or get married, and she demanded I get the surgery.)

    I am back to being unemployed and need some simple remote work, so if anyone has ideas, much appreciated.

  • If you were an NPC in a game and only had one line of dialogue, what would it be?

  • ...

  • 5 Things to Watch the Week of August 23, 2026

  • I enjoyed it but don't see a season two holding up, should they decide to do one.

  • What's the most unforgivable sin done in media that you're still bitter about?

  • Yeah, if you put in the opening the line "They have a plan," you better damned well know what that plan is.

    In the end the plan was "We're gonna kill 'em all!!"

  • What's the most unforgivable sin done in media that you're still bitter about?

  • You are 100% correct.

    I have rewatched the series and come to some peace about it, but it is still the first one to come to mind for this thread.

    Religion was always woven into the series, and the original was somewhat Mormon inspired.

    But that last bit, the evolving nature of god and the whole new set of questions was what I was hoping it would touch on.

  • What's the most unforgivable sin done in media that you're still bitter about?

  • The end of Battlestar Galactica.

    They literally tied up all the loose threads into a bundle labeled "God did it" and then refused to speculate about God because that's distasteful.

    It's sci-fi. You speculate. It's what the genre does.

  • How easily do you make friends?

  • And if you don't want to leave your house a ton, find online hobbies that let you find and meet people, like card games, board games, roleplaying games, etc.

    Granted I had my board gaming friends but when COVID hit and we couldn't play, I made a D&D campaign for them.

    We had never played that together before but everyone was in, and one of the players had never played but had read a ton of novels (Dragonlance, Frizzy [Drizzt!], etc) and was fully committed.

    Now we have all taken turns as the DM, and two of us usually swap out for our own stories.

  • What's something that Reddit has, that you wished Lemmy had too

  • I only ever got gilded two or three times on Reddit, but I remember the first.

    Someone posted "I have been streaming a lot of Ice Cube lately."

    I replied "You can't stream Ice Cube. That's just water."

  • Seeing NSFW post titles just makes me want to respond to them neutrally.

  • The thing that makes it cringe for me is that with 99% of the people posting, it is really clear that the pics are not of them, so the "Let me know if you like what you see" title is downright pathetic.

    I don't want zero adult content on here but not at all like that, and it is close to me turning off NSFW again rather than continuing to block all the spammers.

  • increase rise with boule

  • I am not a bread expert at all, but I would suggest bread flour instead of all-purpose. I think that extra protein will help gluten development.

    I have also thrown some ice cubes in the dutch oven to steam the bread and help the crust to remain pliable so it can rise more. But I also cracked a clay dutch oven doing this, so be careful.

  • Is allowing nudity the only stable solution to the eternal debate on rules about how people can dress?

  • Why would you see this as a solution when burkas and face coverings are being argued about even more than nudity?

  • What are your feelings about the same question being posted across multiple instances?

  • That's how I find them, so yeah.

    And it might be kind of interesting until you do the math and realize that each instance pays the price of storing your thoughts.

  • Do not

  • Ethel Caterham turns 117 tomorrow. Born in 1909, she has lived through two World Wars, six British monarchs, the sinking of the Titanic and the first Moon landing. Her advice for longevity: “I listen…

  • 116 is a leap birthday.

  • What are your feelings about the same question being posted across multiple instances?

  • I browse all, so it annoys me but I also realize that's what I set myself up for.

    When it really annoys me I block the less popular community or the one who keeps annoying me.

    But the ones that really really annoy me are the people who join and then make a community "Just for their thoughts, ideas, and links."

    Get a fucking diary. (Again, this is still a me problem, it's just what annoys me.)

  • Yep.
