M500, in Why do most people not post?

I have posted a few times and almost every time someone complains that the link I posted was already posted by someone else.

Like, sorry, I didn’t see it and I’m not going to spend 15 minutes researching whether an article was already posted here.

So, it’s mainly that.

@M500 Why do people think links to articles are the only thing you can post?

SirToxicAvenger, in What do you feel when leaders of Hamas ask you to continue protests?

eh, I dont listen to terrorists

Terevos, in next to groggyness, is there an additional reason to take SSRI's in the evening?
@Terevos@lemm.ee avatar

This is really a question for your doctor.

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

There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another. Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live…the sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: Wait and Hope.

mysoulishome, in What reasons are there for being concerned about companies like google and meta etc collecting data and tracking me?

This whole thread makes me want to quit using the internet right now…

neptune, in A friend offer me a investment opportunity at 15% annually, is it too good to be true ?

Is this a loan? At fifteen percent interest?

Don’t mix friendship and money.

hahattpro,

Yes, it is a loan.

But the 15% is so high, i don’t think i come without risk. I just ask to know if it is possible to run something with more than 15% ROI, to be able to repay the loan and get interest for yourself.

Junkers_Klunker,

I wouldnt ever loan money to a person who are not disclosing the riscs.

neptune,

Someone is getting ripped of here. Could be OPs friend even.

Junkers_Klunker,

It could very well be the friend being scammed.

Vengefu1Tuna, in Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

I’m surprised no one has mentioned VaatiVidya yet. His voice is so calm and relaxing, he’s a fantastic narrator. His content is mainly lore about FromSoftware games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

Why9,

This! I had to search for Vaatividya in order to find this comment.

His prepare to cry series as well as all of his lore videos could keep me going for ages!

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

This is probably a toxic one I learned from my teachers that time I tried learning Korean:

If it feels like you’re drowning it’s cause you haven’t died yet.

intensely_human,

Damn Korean’s hard core

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

Youre looking for Bismuth, the technical speedrun communicator. Hes perfect in everyway.

Also theres Tomatoanus, also speedrun comminicator, excellent work.

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

3blueonebrowns visual communicatio style is excellent but ive fallen asleep to his videos tons of times.

Chyrosan22 has the voice of God and he reviews mechanical keyboards, absolutely love it

Donoteat01, justin rosczknyaiacs channel, has perfect shit in his Power Planning and Politics series, hypnotic, funny, and entrancing

Drachinifel is a naval historiographer whos excellent, highly reccomend his video on the second pacific sauadron

LillyPip,

Oh wow, thanks!

This list will keep me for a while.

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

I gatekeep my own misery with perspective.

Knowing that there’s billions of people having a far worse moment/day/life keeps me intact. I have nothing to complain about.

This one has never helped me. It just has me wanting to give up so much more, overwhelmed by the pain and suffering of others along with my own.

JubilantJaguar,

This divergent response may have something to do with personality types.

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

Not with a broken leg and ankle but I’ve been overcome before by situations like this. I know there’s a lot of advice in here already to manage the anxiety, but here’s a few things you can actually do:

  1. Make a list. Write down everything that needs to be taken care of. Pets, bills, work, rent, school work…just write down everything that comes to mind. Write down deadlines and where you are going to come short.
  2. If you are not on heavy pain meds, start communicating. There’s a good chance that some deadlines can be pushed back, work can find you extra hours, friends and family can spot you. Even creditors may be willing to help. You have a situation that is entirely provable with hospital records.
  3. Depending on your life situation, you may be able to find government resources, charity groups, etc. Just by calling around you could find a connection inadvertently that can help. I found pro bono legal services once when an someone tried to sue me because a charity group i called knew someone from another group.
  4. Adjust your list and prioritize what needs to be done first. I think just putting things down on paper/word doc takes a lot of burden off your mind. You know you won’t forget what needs to be done and it helps to have all the info in front of you when you need to communicate.
  5. Sudoku. Optional, but highly advocate that or some kind of problem solving game.

Good luck to you, friend. Speedy recovery.

Thank you so much for the advice!

Ejh3k, in What's your weird physical habit?

I always put on and tie my left shoe and then the right. Then I go in reverse when I take them off.

MrRazamataz,
@MrRazamataz@lemmy.razbot.xyz avatar

I wonder how much longer your left foot has had a shoe on compared to your right.

Ejh3k,

Never considered that. Probably a minute a day.

MrRazamataz,
@MrRazamataz@lemmy.razbot.xyz avatar

man that’s gotta add up!

Ejh3k,

I suppose, but it’s not as if that foot is doing anything other than be stationary.

variants, in What's your weird physical habit?

Nice try AI, you aren’t learning my physical habits

tj,

thelsim, in Fellow Lemmings, how to create Social Media that does not have mods?
@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

mods basically ruling over them as a reward

Speaking as a mod (of a very easy going community, mind you). This is not how I see my responsibilities. All I do is make sure people stick to the rules, deal with reports and organize some community challenges. Basically, I’m a happy mod when I don’t have to do anything at all :)
On top of that, I hate having to remove comments or posts and always try to get in touch with the poster to let them know why I did what I had to and hope they understand.

I don’t really see how this can be seen as a reward to be honest.
