Lettuceeatlettuce, in What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

“You just have to work through the pain.” I’ve injured myself multiple times in the past exercising by following this idiotic advice.

It’s one thing to push through discomfort, that’s how your body gets stronger. But If you’re in actual pain, stop and listen to the alarm bells your body is giving you.

boatswain, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Guild Wars 2; I’m at 6-7k hours or so. Been playing a lot less lately; I’m not sure if that’s the recent content, or if it’s me getting tired of it. I don’t have a ton of objectives I’m interested in completing at this point; some "nice to have"s, but at this point any character or build I could possibly want to play, I have just about everything I need for. Mostly find myself logging in twice a week to do guild night with friends, and that’s it.

Otherwise, GTA V, which surprises pretty much everyone I know except the friends I play with. It’s just such an easy game to spend hoursblowing each other up or racing around or whatever in; really a fantastic game to play with friends.

Pizza Wizard in Rochester NY is unbeatable

“Just have one or two and then stop” when telling a friend I’m an alcoholic. Well shit, thanks! That never even crossed my mind!

TheHalc,

Which would inevitably be followed by “Just one more can’t hurt!”…

I hope you’re doing better now.

Jellojiggle,

That is absolutely what follows. I am doing MUCH better, I’ve had 2.5 years sober in the last 3 years because I thought I was “cured” and started “moderating” last summer. The stop drinking subreddit was amazing insight and help. It’s on lemmy but the only posts are the daily checkin. I should start being more active on it to boost it.

BeMoreCareful,

It’s more a question of how many times it crosses my mind.

Anticorp,

Thanks, I’m cured!

DarkSpectrum, in What's your real-life superpower?

I can go anywhere there is alcohol present and not drink it.

HobbitFoot,

Teach us your ways.

brightpants, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Dota 6k hours hahaha

DrQuint,

Yeah, at 7k+ hours, my Dota time dunks on pretty much 90% of the people in this thread. And I’m still not tired of it. It’s a daily ritual type of game.

Thing is, the time I put isn’t even close to the time of several of the people I’ve met.

platypuspup, in What's with the corporate obsession with customer feedback?

In my opinion, it is another way to get value out of the user instead of giving value.

Managers have to do very little work in terms of understanding the skills of their employees if we do it for them.

A huge step I found in terms of my mental health was to refuse to give reviews anymore, in any form. I am now able to enjoy my experiences a lot more without looking for reasons to critique them.

mrmacduggan,

Yep! It’s free real estate.

Corvid, in Have you ever had Detroit-style pizza?

It’s pretty good, but doesn’t satisfy the same craving as a good slice of NY style.

That said, there’s a place here in Seattle called Moto Pizza that makes incredible Detroit-styles pies.

asmith1243, in Have you ever had Detroit-style pizza?

Shoutout to 211 in Lancaster, PA that makes a killer D-style (and an even more killerer NY style)

XiELEd, in What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

2 days ago we had a moving up ceremony, and the speaker said that the secret to a successful life is “Honor your parents and Honor God”. That advice wouldn’t apply to everyone…

Sure, why not?

inform880, in Have you ever had Detroit-style pizza?

8 mile and Wyoming checking in.

Emperor, in How do I block all porn/nude posts?
@Emperor@feddit.uk avatar

I’m not seeing any of that. Not saying it is a good or bad thing, just a thing. So OP has choices, perhaps going to a smaller instance will help as I assume lemmy.world’s “all” is probably quite the firehose of diverse content by now.

son_named_bort, in What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

“There are people worse off than you”

Thanks, that totally solves my problem.

the_third,

I always tell them “Following that logic, there’s only one person in the world that can complain. But that dude really got it bad.”

rmuk,

My counter is always, “and there are people better off than you, so stop being happy.”
