I’ll give you my dilemma: would you rather have constant noise that is not in your control? or would you rather have constant noise in the form of music that you enjoy? thats my case in school and the case of many others in cities, where its a choice between the sound of crowds (with occasional shocking loud noises) or music you can control. one is far less stressful at the end of the day

I think these short, punchy comments do serve a purpose and are worth having, little things like that add up for people questioning their own stance etc

the one point I agree on is that these comments aren’t creative: they could certainly contribute more and could also be more hopeful rather than simply angry

man… telegram is not doing too hot lately

hope the U.S. doesn’t fuck them over even more than they already have been at this point

Alright, absolute noob here, I’m not particularly interested in computer science or an OS I have to obsessively research. First, how is gaming on Linux nowadays? I play a lot of games, most of which are not triple-A, so I wonder how accessible this is. Second, what distributions are accessible and still customizable? I have all kinds of peripherals I’d like to be able to use, speaker systems, midi controllers, etc.

the sensors aren’t placed on desks, you can see that the displays are placed outside of bathrooms because that’s where kids generally vape. my high school has sensors inside the bathrooms on the ceiling and they don’t work. you’re thinking of a scenario that’s incredibly difficult and costly to implement, I assure you no district would be willing to hook this bullshit up to EVERY DESK. the term “Simon’s desk” here is likely just a name for one of the sensors they used to test this concept, with the sensor being located at the desk of a developer named simon

their name is kittykittycatboys what else do you expect :3 meow

Three Body Problem is great for if you want more world-oriented experiences than character-oriented ones. The character in focus changes often and sometimes harshly, but I feel it’s in service of the plot and feels great.

my dad always taught me its better to drive predictably than drive politely, i try to embody that

politely, i think you messed up

speaking as someone who gets horribly anxious in similar situations, being flirted with is one reliable way to take it from anxiety to panic attack

i think of the consent system of bdsm in situations like this, where crying should be interpreted as someone saying red light or another safeword. when tears are involved, or someone is disturbed in that way, (for lack of a better way of expressing this) fuck your emotions. turn off everything but the parts of your brain that handle caring for someone.

since you’re here, i dont think this is hopeless at all though, youre willing to change and want to understamd what you did wrong. i commend you for that, and i hope you remember the “red light” idea for next time something similar happens.

do not make me cry

sexual fantasies and high sex drive are perfectly fine as long as you keep it to consenting parties, no shame in experiencing these things

i imagine regular masturbation would help somewhat but its up to you and how much time you have tbh

the thing to always remember is that these fantasies and this sex drive dont mean anything about your morality, and dwelling on it will likely make you worry more.

actually a masterpiece of a game, the campaign is so unbelievably worth it, just keep in mind the vanilla multiplayer is unplayable due to ddosing. if you want to play multiplayer, look into the northstar client

my problem with this argument is always that it neglects the mental, social, and emotional effects of raising nicotine content

physically safer for your airways? sure, but definitely not mentally healthier

loool youre in the wrong place fully mask off with the “hope your kids get gangbanged” part doesnt sound you really care for the kids?

its not day ruining, but as i said in my original comment the stress definitely adds up

oopsie daisies thats a config issue on my part ty

people like me who can be bothered by it

you not being upset by it doesnt necessarily mean there arent people who are upset by references to suicide or portrayals of sharp objects in this context

its not quite necessary or expected on lemmy as far as i can see but its definitely appreciated when i have to see one less triggering post, cause the stress does add up

though i will point out that its pretty useless when the image isnt spoilered or hidden within the body cause who reads the title first and THEN decides if they want to see the post

I’m not sure I’ve seen this take expressed here before… but here I go. I think the thing I appreciate about Lemmy is that it isn’t absurdly active. Before my switch to Lemmy (from Reddit ofc), I was compulsively checking Reddit for new content every 20 minutes, even taking priority over hyperfixations of mine. I like that there isn’t new content every 20 minutes. It’s like checking your fridge every 20 minutes for new food, and Reddit just keeps feeding you until you’re upset. This place feels like it “restocks” every day so that I don’t feel the need to check it obsessively. It’s improved my relationship with social media entirely. My only issue is the amount of bait, not just in the form of trolls but people riling themselves and others up with politics. I get it, I’m extremely far left too, but god if I come here in hopes of being less anxious I always see something that feels designed to make me angry. It’s less than Reddit but we could all work on considering if engaging is worth it. Learn to appreciate boredom and understimulation and it will change your life, especially those of you like me with an anxiety disorder.

sorry for the tangent, tl;dr less content actually makes me less anxious and more comfortable and we should learn to appreciate the boredom that comes with that

Tell me when you graduate from therapy! Otherwise there’s someone who will wake up and realize they’re missing their cunt

yikes that username furthest to the right… military rp in roblox will be military rp in roblox
