morphballganon, in What do we get in return for paying taxes?

Which country?

What your government spends tax money on varies wildly from one country to another.

The good ones pay for universal healthcare and higher education.

The bad ones pay for wars, stuff the pockets of billionaires and fund anti-progressive propaganda.

Joe Pera Talks You Back to Sleep

The whole series isn't on YouTube, unfortunately, but it is SO worth your time and fits the bill like nothing else.

EndOfLine, in Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

“The Why Files” and “Kutzergart”.

If I’m really not ready to sleepy, I find the content interesting. If I am ready to sleep but my brain won’t shut down then I ignore the words and I find the voices very soothing and relaxing.

LillyPip,

That’s exactly the quality I’m looking for, thanks!

rafa, in Someone picks up a guitar at a party, what song would be hype if they played?

I would be happier if they left

ericbomb,

Oh hush you 🤣 I was tempted to say “besides nothing” but I was like, surely lemmings are more creative than that and I don’t need to say that!

mosiacmango,

“Nothing” is a good song to play man. The “party guitar” is just the “bluetooth speaker on a hike” in a different format. 99% of the time people would be happier with nothing, no matter how hype your song is. Even guitar virtuosos can bring down a party by demanding it become about their performance.

Throw some shit up on the shared shuffle playlist, and go on about your day.

Tar_alcaran,

4’33" by John Cage, on a loop.

bdazman, in Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

Isaac Arthur is a futurist I like for this, hell give you wonderful dreams.

I listen to my favorite British game show (QI and “8 out of 10 cat’s does countdown”) or the 10 hour loop of Joe Pera talks you to sleep youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg?si=aMDe0U0oyoNmAbVR

pyrflie, in hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?

Ublock Origin

NoScript

Dark Reader

Sponsorblock

Bitwarden

everything else is down to preference.

catsup,

What’s the point if having NoScript AND uBlockOrigin? ubo does everything noscript does, but better

pyrflie,

Whitelisting.

If you have anyone in your house or on your network that is, shall we say, less tech savvy then this effectively shuts them out of some sites.

And for yourself if you happen to make a miss click it shuts out most passive security risks.

The extension is as dumb or smart as you make it. For most of the users on my network it’s functionally retarded, but it works fairly well to prevent missclicks and curiosity fuckups for me as well.

SirToxicAvenger,

dark reader looks very useful, thanks!!

mittyta,

Double upvote for bitwarden, since OP is switched browser, they defenetly need move all their passwords. No need to use built in Firefox manager. Don’t forget to use password export from Chrome.

SirToxicAvenger,

ah nice I was wondering how to do that. got a lot of passwords in chrome

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Also browser password manager couldn’t be more unsafe…

moriquende,

honestly it’s fine if you’re generating different passwords for every service and you’re just storing the less important ones there for convenience.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Way too easy to get malware and it scans your whole pc for easy to aquire passwords.
If it’s safely encrypted, go for it but I suspect it isnt.

glorious_albus,

Used to use lastpass before they became paid. I haven’t even remembered that until I read your comment. Bitwarden is great.

5dashes,

DeArrow for unsensationalizing YouTube titles and thumbnails

SirToxicAvenger, in What do we get in return for paying taxes?

allegedly? services.

realistically? fuckall

Nostalgia, in How can a naturally anxious person keep from worrying while laid up in bed with a broken ankle and leg?

Lexapro?

LaunchesKayaks,
@LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world avatar

I’m already on psych meds

Ocelot,

At least talk to your doctor. He might know of an anti-anxiety medication that would be safe with your other meds.

LaunchesKayaks,
@LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah. I’m gonna call my psychiatrist tomorrow and see what he thinks would be a good temporary thing. I just had a minor emotional breakdown and woke my mom on accident, so I totally need some help with all my big feelings.

Ocelot,

So how’d it go? Was he/she able to help?

LaunchesKayaks,
@LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world avatar

Not really. My anxiety eased up because of the pain from the surgery, though. The pain is unbearable and the paineds barely do anything.

Witchfire, in Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?
@Witchfire@lemmy.world avatar

“It’s only temporary”

Everything is temporary in the long term

sysadmin420, in Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?

My dad always said “Always do the right thing”, and “the world is what you make of it”

peterpayne, in Do you interact more in Lemmy?

No, but I did here for you :)

BonesOfTheMoon,

I’m replying so you have to post again haha.

peterpayne,

Well, there you have it, I hope you are happy… I am.

BonesOfTheMoon,

It’s a lot better isn’t it?

peterpayne,

Yes, yes it is!
