Florida Man: Challenge accepted! It's going to be legendary!!!

I automatically reject any arguments based on the "human nature". We know jack shit about our nature.

I was in the village of Lungern in Switzerland for the day, it was impossible to find anything vegetarian to eat.

Been trying to manage without medication for quite sometime.

When I was able to consistently run daily, it helped, but keeping a habit is really hard for me.

Also, having a healthy diet helped, while I was able to maintain it.

Overall, I am not doing a great job so far, I hope you have better luck.

Fuck, I am getting older.

I created my account during high school, now I am 25.

To be honest, I am grateful for the journey. I found Reddit when I needed it, I was spending too much time on 9gag and wanted to find something more productive to waste my time on. Reddit was, and still is, more than that.

TwoXChromosomes and gonewildstories are two subs that literally redefined my person.

I haven't deleted my account, nor do I plan to. But, I haven't used Reddit since my birthday on June 12th. I have been into the idea of the fediverse long before I first read about it, and I am here for the long run.

yes! yes! yes! I have the same problem.

My suggestion is to add a view with subscriptions ordered by the selected criterion (i.e. new/active/hot/top) and below each community there is vertical list with posts from that community sorted.

This would allow see what's up with the communities we follow and then jump in those communities if we find anything interesting.

stares in "12% of Greek voters choosing blatant facist parties"

It's like it was hit by a train!

What's the Gentoo equivalent of an instance?

I don't know why, but this exchange felt of fucking romantic. Keep up the good work you amazing people!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where the effort instead backfires by increasing awareness of that information. It is named after American singer and actress Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress the California Coastal Records Project's photograph of her cliff-top residence in Malibu, California, taken to document California coastal erosion, inadvertently drew greater attention to the photograph in 2003.

(I needed a lesson myself)

First of all, this post got me a bit worried about your mental health, is it possible you are under a lot of stress lately?

You are expressing something that I have been thinking too lately. Third parties, aka recruiters in this case, cannot be impartial if they are paid by one of the parties involved.

If you have an issue with your employer, you don't go to the HR, you get a lawyer. A person fully representing your interest, equipped with the knowledge to actually do that.

I think the same should be the case for employment seeking. It's not that you cannot build a network of colleagues, keep up with market trends, navigate legalities, and identify whatever new bullshit benefit companies are offering. But, delegating this job to a person/entity that specialises in it would most of the time be better.

Last but not least, I don't think the term recruiter is appropriate, and I believe transitional recruiters are not going to be willing to help you.

Best wishes on your effort!! Please keep us to date, I am interested to see where this leads!!

While I cannot think of a better decentralization example, the lack of source code makes me worry this solution would not satisfy the open source software (OSS) criteria.

omg, I am terrified of this happening to me. I have been looking for a specialist since March. It's so fucking hard to trust someone when most people are pretty much ignorant of ADHD.

It's time people from the north start giving climate immigration visas.

Not true, I could set up a WordPress blog and start writing reviews. As long as it stays a niche thing I share with a couple of friends online, that "review platform" won't be gamed or flooded by fake reviews.

My point being that closed "publishing" instances can be reliable.

yes! I mean pathological demand avoidance, I literally forgot there is another meaning to the acronym 🤣

General popularity is not a good metric IMO. If I like a community, then it shouldn't matter if a million people like or it's only me and my cousin. If the community likes the content, I want to see it.

It's trust between the members of a community.

However, weighted sorting is not a solution too, upvotes counts are not linear. Maybe, quantile sort?

Accepting the ability of self-indentification is one of the few exceptions I would be willing to make.

I cannot support it logically, but I truly want to believe in it.

Definitely adding it to my Todo list, thanks for the suggestion!!

I feel you. There would be times when I would prefer ordering a delivery to serving a plate of food I have already cooked.

Been struggling with eating disorder for the past few years, and the last year I have been trying (without success) to keep a healthy diet. Ordering delivery online is the biggest issue for me.

Buying groceries that I know I am going to throw has helped a lot. The shame of throwing rotten veggies has motivated me many a time to start cooking whatever is left before it's rotten, I view it as trigger to cook. Also, not having groceries can be a barrier to cooking.

I have trouble accounting for all the effort required to prepare a dish. Tasks like washing the dishes, buying groceries, cutting vegetable, etc take time and energy. If I don't plan for those, I will get tired at some point and completely give up cooking.

When everything seems too hard, I try to do something small. Usually, this is washing a couple of spoons or glasses. Sometimes this is enough to trigger my fixation and get buttload of work done. Because, this is not consistent my trick is doing often with zero expectations so I don't get discouraged.

Now, I am trying to constantly build excitement for cooking. It's a new experiment, but the idea is that if I have triggers around me that will remind me I want to cook, it make it easier for me to cook. I have installed a mirror on my living room (I don't like my shape right now, and that feels motivating somehow), and next I will pick some posters to hang around the house.

Thanks for the question, I hope I am able help even the tiniest bit.

Been using Eternity for quite some time. I like it, it's clean and modern, but I get a lot of bugs. Last week I couldn't see posts, then, I couldn't comment or save posts, and then posts were loading but I was seeing posts in communities I wasn't subscribed to. Sometimes logging out and logging in again helps.

Anybody that simply asserts their statement to be true, is not worth talking to.

Historically, there have been countless statements about the human nature proved wrong. Some of them were even used to support the most harmful idealogies like sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia etc.

It's never about correctness, science knows better than simply referring to human nature.

For personal machines, I use rivers.

At work we use superheroes.

For hobby projects, cute 4 letter words (it's a challenge), for example bubu and alia.

Greek here, they were illegal immigrants. They were helpless people in a boat with a broken engine. They were people fleeing from a war. They were people that didn't ask for help fearing pushbacks, concetration camps, and police abuse. They were people the coast guard stood and watched them die for 3 days.
