papalonian, to asklemmy in How to respond to gf saying "I'm fat"

It doesn’t matter if your intention was the opposite of doing harm. Your advice was not good advice. Your experience with someone who had an eating disorder doesn’t give you the ability to intuitively diagnose everyone that reminds you of their situation as having the same disorder.

You’re making huge assumptions based on little information. Saying people are underweight or hardly eat anything doesn’t even come close to automatically meaning “eating disorder”. I’m underweight myself and eat very little, I’m not anorexic. If I feel chubby after a few days of binge eating, someone trying to make me stop thinking about it by distracting me like a dog isn’t going to help.

Again, I’m assuming your goal is to help so I’m not trying to be rude, but your advice is both making the issue out to be much larger than it probably is (saying she is anorexic/ bulimic while OP never used these words) while simultaneously suggesting he ignore the problem by distracting her. Even if she does have an eating disorder, as others have pointed out, saying things are “a trap” is not a healthy way to look at it, as someone reaching out for help is not doing so to put you in a bad position.

papalonian, to asklemmy in Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

You’re right, the PSU doesn’t care how much money I spent on it.

But a shitty $50 no name PSU is probably gonna blow up before the $150 unit from a solid company with a well established history of quality parts

I’m not saying more expensive PSUs are better, I’m saying that better PSUs tend to be more expensive. Obviously that exploding PSU from a few years ago isn’t better than a cheaper one simply because it cost more.

Never thought “I buy good stuff i have confidence won’t blow up” would be such a controversial take

I guess I should clarify what I meant, since you’re the second person to point this out to me (no fault to you, I wasn’t clear).

I’ll always pay for high quality in a PSU, even for non-critical systems. My main PC, home server, and shit box emulator machine on integrated graphics app run the same PSU, only the main PC is a higher wattage.

An old friend bought an RGB PSU in like 2018 despite my best advice. I wonder how it’s holding up… bought the first of my three PSUs two years prior to that and still pushing electrons like new

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

A smart watch doesn’t bring anything of value for people like me.

That’s completely fine. But why feel the need to try to convince everyone that they should feel the same? If I see someone using something I personally wouldn’t use I’m not gonna try to tell them “oh my XYZ can do that”, “wow why don’t you just use a XYZ?”, “seems pointless when you can just blah blah blah”.

It happens whenever done interesting new thing comes out, there’s people that use the thing, and people that don’t and make sure everyone knows why.

Oh. That’s unfortunate.

In reference to the video I’d mentioned. There was a big cancel movement on him a few years ago because of some really weird amateur video he’d put out before becoming famous that included a bit about fucking a baby. It was in incredibly poor taste, and I didn’t find the attempted joke all that funny, but even with the context you’ve given me it’s pretty clear that nothing was meant to be taken seriously.

Is this from that stupid video he’d made a few years back or is there actually something substantial that came out since then

papalonian, to asklemmy in Do the right wing women in relationships with right wing guys think it's like a draco malfoy thing where they're a good guy underneath?

Damn, I haven’t read the books in over a decade so I’m hazy on some of the details. I remembered him trying to stop Harry in the last book but I was thinking he was still rolling pretty deep with the other death eaters

papalonian, to asklemmy in So how much "bad" debt are you in?

You bought a literal racecar? Hell yeah dude. Live your best life.

papalonian, to memes in "The "fediverse" is the future of social media"

I was on kbin when I first ditched Reddit, but boost coming out for Lemmy got me to switch. The mobile site for kbin is ok but nothing compared to a mostly fleshed out app. Also, like the other guy said the federation wasn’t always there.

papalonian, to mildlyinteresting in the FDA is considering a ban on menthol cigarette sales

When the government makes something illegal, they don’t do it in hopes of millions of people doing it anyways in private.

papalonian, to memes in Trying to pay rent these days...

Must depend on appearance settings. I’m using boost on Android as well and I saw the title

papalonian, to mildlyinteresting in the FDA is considering a ban on menthol cigarette sales

Most people smoking weed aren’t just doing it out in the open like tobacco users
