cheesebag, in What are some green flags in a partner in your opinion?

Feminism. And general recognition of the struggles of minority people

WidowsFavoriteSon, in What's the name of the belief that gods/entities are quasi-semtient memes (the linguistic term, not the cultural term) in the same manner that corporations and governments are considered people?

Carl Jung proposed that gods are characters of individuation drawn from our collective unconscious, just as demons are unconfronted shadows of self. “Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious,” by C.G. Jung.

cheese_greater,

So like idealized forms sort of? Like that which we could be be aren’t?

jol, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

I heard many people that are going through different diseases were able to drink those soylent ready-to-drink drinks. They have all the nutrients you need in a creamy drink. I’ve tried Jimmy Joy and Huel and really liked them.

feedum_sneedson, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

Matzo, nothing fatty. I’ve been here very recently. Skimmed milk was also helpful

Mr_Blott, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

I wanted a smart watch for notifications etc but didn’t like any of them; too shiny and short battery life

Ended up buying a Fossil Hybrid watch; the screen is kinda like a Kindle, and it has physical hands too so is always visible. Battery lasts three weeks plus

Really good except for having to sync it with the app every couple of days

Lnrdrople, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

Milk and fat of any kind isn’t usually the best if you have trouble eating in general. Lots of apple sauce, chicken soup and crackers mentioned already, so I’ll just add the basic ass tostidos round nacho chips. Those give the salt you need, but don’t have much else, so they’re easy to digest. Anyway, whatever is fine, as long as you can keep it down.

nickhammes, in What setting do you use for Lemmy for active posts?

Top - 6 hours usually. I’ll check the 1 or 12 hour versions if I’m checking more or less often than the few times a day I usually do

popekingjoe, in What game do you play to just chill?
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

Solitaire oddly enough. Just sit there, throw up a YouTube playlist on my second monitor, open up the game on my main, and just unwind.

Suck_on_my_Presence,

Freecell for me :B

iheartneopets,

Similarly, nonogram/picross puzzles. I have one on my phone that’s called Hungry Cat Nonogram that I really like. It mixes up the formula by introducing different colored pixels into each row and columns. It’s hard to explain, but very fun. It’s the only game I keep on my phone

penquin,

Absolutely. I have a ton of games and solitaire is one of the ones I play to chill.

AlexWIWA,

Solitaire is a 10/10 game tbh. I got a little too good at the iPod Video version of the game because it was addicting.

To be fair though, you can get same relaxation by doing any mindless task with music.

Hell, one of the highlights of my week is putting on a history podcast and then just cleaning the hell out of the bathroom, bedroom, mopping the floors, etc.

Its a relaxing personal moment where you’re lost in your own world, you learn something new, and your apartment looks great at the end.

dm_me_your_boobs,

Sounds like somebody else grew up with windows 3.1.

slazer2au, in What setting do you use for Lemmy for active posts?

Local - New

Then once that is consumed I move to All - New

My default is “subscribed - hot” but I check “all - top 12 hours” once or twice a day.

Curious_Canid, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
@Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca avatar

I like both, but I mostly wear a smartwatch. I don’t always hear notifications on my phone. Having my watch vibrate at the same time has been a huge improvement. It is also nice to be able to view and dismiss notifications without pulling out my phone.

I started experimenting with smartwatches soon after they first appeared. There were a lot of limitations, but having better access to notifications made them worth the tradeoff for me. Over time, the hardware and software have both gotten steadily better. I have owned and used four previous smartwatches. My latest, a Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic, is the first I’ve had with the battery life, display quality, and speed to make me feel like I’m no longer compromising. It works well as a basic watch, in addition to all the other features.

My other reason for sticking with smartwatches was not something I expected. I was able to build my idea of the perfect watch face for myself, using the Watchmaker app. Getting it to do everything I wanted required some serious programming, among other things, but I can’t tell you how satisfying it is to have exactly what I want on my wrist.

I do still wear regular watches, sometimes for particular occasions and sometimes just for fun. I have a Citizen Promaster Skyhawk A-T Titanium that serves as a dress watch and a Casio Pro Trek 3500T for when I’m camping or just need a watch I can’t accidentally break. Both watches are solar powered and both set themselves to the Bureau of Standards radio signals.

I would hate to have to choose one type over the other, but my smartwatch get most a lot more wear time than my others.

I actually tend to use “Hot”, it seems like a better “Active” to me.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in What are some green flags in a partner in your opinion?

I had two friends who used to frequent what was said to be the local debate club. It was the only thing they had in common when they first met, now they’re married. People often see what seems like a complete lack of consensus (for a lack of a better word) between them and they think “wow, are they really going to survive the New Year”. But they show a huge green flag isn’t how synchronized two people are but rather how accepting one is to a shortage of synchronization. There are people who don’t realize this and one issue ruins everything.

PlzGivHugs, (edited ) in Who is the cruelest fictional villain?

First thought is that its almost certainly something from Warhammer 40k. Probably one of the Dark Eldar (or just their civilization as a whole). They’re a super-advanced, post-scarcity civilization that basically worships torture and uses their technology to “perfect” it.

Edit: spelling

Ford Prefect?

slazer2au,

Na, the C’Tan is the cruelest. You Necrons want to be free of cancer riddles bodies we caused by consuming your sun and become immortality? Sure, here is a metal container for your brain while we consume your essence because it taste better than solar winds.

Got what they deserved though.

stochasticity, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

BRAT diet. Bananas rice applesauce toast.
