The psychologist who did like a shortened test on me actually recommended against going further and also getting diagnosed by a psychiatrist if I don’t want any official support. Just not worth a lifetime of discrimination within the medical system. I’m noticing it happening with my ADHD diagnosis. That one’s worth the discrimination though, since the treatment is a life saver (potentially literally).

It’s not as good as google was when I was first allowed to use the internet 15+ years ago, but much better than today’s google. Just so much more peace of mind to know that profit isn’t what governs my search results.

For the price of two big studio games, you can buy yourself a pair of running shoes, DND dice, a few books, watercolor and paper, and have some money leftover. It’s not that you can’t afford it, it’s that the way capitalism is designed makes you too exhausted to have a hobby.

True, I’m one of them. Wouldn’t really say I’m in poverty, but I certainly couldn’t afford a car. But that’s not relevant, since nobody questioned that. You did, however, question why one would make a 4 min drive, so I gave reasons why someone might.

Please don’t ride your bike drunk. Youre not just endangering yourself, but other cyclists and pedestrians too.

Some parts of the world are so heavily built for cars that they are hostile and dangerous to walkers and bikers, and also have little to no public transport. Also, some people are disabled.

My sibling in Christ you’re the one arguing that phone addiction isn’t real

Lmao makes sense

This to me reads that you have a serious self control issue. If you need to use therapy to limit your gambling, you’ve fucked up. Learn and practice some self control. You don’t need therapy, you don’t need to stop gambling or cut off ties with your dealer, just stop doing it. This is like needing to have your parents tell you to do your homework or something. You are in control of your life. You will feel much more empowered if you do it yourself.

What’s your alternative? Been meaning to use Lemmy less, but since I started using social media in place of idling/skin picking/bad thoughts when I don’t have the energy to do anything else, that’s what I return to when I put my phone down. (I have adhd)

That’s the first time I’m hearing this experience, thanks for the input! Changed my mind

While that’s true, there are objectively different levels of ‘just working’ though.

I’ve never spent so little time googling how to fix things as I do with Ubuntu or Mint. It’s much more frequently needed and time consuming on other Linux OSs, iOS, Windows, Android. Haven’t personally used Mac.

Also, I’ve always found a fix on Ubuntu. The same can’t be said for other OSs.

That’s just personal examples, but the general idea still stands: different systems have a different amount of bugs, (or worse, ‘features’) and the difficulty of fixing them isn’t the same for everything either.

I can’t find anything that matches your description of US can openers on DDG, do you happen to have a pic? Can’t picture it

Thanks for posting, didn’t know about that!

To be fair I mainly wanted to jokingly tell the commentator that both china and the us are guilty of this, so I just mentioned a third country that I thought was decent. Thanks for educating :)

Like, the Netherlands or something maybe?

I’ve never heard of a country where places give you extra drink for free just because you asked for less ice, to be honest. I know some bartenders who joke about the people who think asking for less ice will get them more.

Hey we’re pretty similar in regards to running! I started in May. I’m training for a 10k in May of this year.

I even made the same frustrating experience this week! I ran 8k in 50mins on Monday. Wanted to up my pace yesterday and was so out of breath after 2k that I tasted metal. Felt like I basically had to crawl home after that.

I googled and apparently if you do want to up your pace, you should try to run faster for only the last 10 mins or so of your run. But don’t overdo it because apparently it’s literally physiologically different within your muscles whether you run fast or far. And the changes training does are different, too: Usain Bolt at his peak wouldn’t have done very well at a marathon.

But I, for one, am fine training endurance for now. Maybe I’ll try to up my pace at a later point in time!

Either way, sprinting to marathon isn’t a progression. Speed and endurance are different skills with different training plans. There’s a reason they’re separate Olympic disciplines.

It didn’t say that. I said the opposite: you can’t be sure it’s ethical when it’s free, because it’s much less transparent then.
