Correct, that still doesn’t make me able to do anything about how lemmy.ml is run. Consider not going nuclear on people who didn’t cause your issue and have only offered to show you how to access the information you want.

My man, I have absolutely nothing to do with lemmy.ml. Look at my username, I’m on Blahaj. I am a random person explaining to you how to access your instance’s rules.

Opening with calling people dickwads because you don’t understand how to interact with your client or instance isn’t a great way to get help.

What you linked to here isn’t related to the rules of lemmy.ml, your instance. If you look at the top of the page of lemmy.ml, you’ll see a menu that says “sidebar”. Open it and it lists the instance rules. This is rule 2:

Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

Wow, it’s been years since I’ve seen this photo. Wasn’t the context that this dude just flashed people at an anti rape rally or something?

Here’s a Time article: https://time.com/6215346/covid-19-rest-helps/

I hope you can convince your relative to slow down and rest!

I hope you feel better soon! If you’d like advice from a random internet stranger, be sure to rest way more than you think you need to for a few weeks. Some studies have found an association between long COVID and exertion while sick.

Check and see if your local library is distributing them, if you’re not having any luck at the pharmacy.

Is there a new reddit influx for some reason? Or is this just in general?

Also since it’s Catalina, no offense but where are you going in a car? Everything in Avalon is basically right there. Aren’t all the vehicles on the island supposed to be under a certain size (and presumably have pretty good fuel efficiency) too? I haven’t been to Two Harbors so I can’t speak on the need for a car there.

Did she have a procedure for dealing with people coming in and out of doors? I’d be terrified one would make a run for it!

Get therapy if you feel there’s even a remote possibility you could benefit from it, especially if you can check anything off the adverse child experience list. The way trauma impacts you and your relationships with everyone else, and even your body, is hard to understand when it’s normal to you.

I feel like the cursed inverse of this is The Orville, where they’re divorced and then drama and jokes about being divorced is half the show. It was in what I saw of season 1 anyway, it was so relentless I couldn’t stand another minute of it.

You aren’t in their heads and you have no idea why they’re vaping. If every teen in Germany smokes (doubtful), proportionally teens who have a mental illness will smoke more and be more likely to become addicted, not only because they’re smoking more but because of the brain chemistry at work leading them to smoke to begin with. Self medication isn’t an exaggeration, nicotine acts similarly to MAOIs. It’s a shitty medication substitute.

Kids vaping is often a mental health problem, not a criminal problem. Nicotine is used by people with untreated mental illness to self medicate, and as long as you have kids without adequate access to mental health care you’re going to have kids vaping. From what I can find something like 1/3rd of people who need mental health services in Canada haven’t got the care they needed in the past year. That’s a lot of kids.

Criminalizing selling but not possession is a very basic way of preventing the criminalization of addiction. Throwing a kid with untreated or badly controlled ADHD into juvie, or fining them, or whatever punishment you’re imagining here, is basically the worst way to deal with addiction.

Because I’m sure someone will misconstrue this as me saying it’s okay for kids to vape: it’s not, that’s why they need mental health services, even if it’s ‘only’ for addiction. Criminalizing them doesn’t help them.

Software design really needs to take a leaf out of game design’s book and let you change key binds. I suspect the only reason they don’t is because it would make troubleshooting more complicated.

I’d call the fire department to ask them to come out and make sure that there’s not anything slow burning that’s hidden in the walls. Be sure to mention two separate smoke detectors have been going off. Even if that’s not what it is they’ll be fine with coming out to check.

Asking as someone who is absolutely not tech proficient compared to most lemmy users: is this a vulnerability with Linux or Discord specifically, or is this something that could be carried out on any OS/messenger if the computer was infected?

La La Land. Musicals are already on thin ice, but a musical about some arrogant, self obsessed people complaining about how hard it is trying to be (and ultimately succeeding in being) successful?? UGH. Shut it all down.

School: if it wasn’t a Macintosh Plus it was something like it. We were given very little time with it and had to go to a special computer room to use them so I don’t remember a lot of specifics about it, beyond the school tech guy having to painstakingly load each program we wanted to use manually from a floppy

Home: Windows 3.1. I don’t think we got the internet until Windows 95, though

Agreed, it took a decent chunk of therapy for me to figure out that a lot of times I was reversing cause and effect. I’m not anxious about xyz because of whatever rationalization I came up with, it’s literally just my body dumping adrenaline and my brain looking for an explanation for why.
