  One of my friends dipped into “emailing his friend’s bosses about the conspiracy against him” levels of schizophrenia during the COVID lockdowns and at this point I don’t think he’s coming back.

  Can’t help but wonder how many people we alienate from their loved ones because we refuse to take mental health seriously.

  Used to see the odd “genetics” fat person and they’d just be built a bit bigger. Now I’m seeing fucking waddling planetoids and that’s not genetics man. Part of that blame belongs to individuals but part of it belongs to the food lobbyists and their quest to add sugar and corn syrup to everything.

  Incentivise people to grow their own vegetables (or source them locally from those who already are) and disincentivise the purchase of processed and sweetened food. Have our agencies promote healthy recipes using weight rather than volume measurements and show people how to use scales to properly weigh ingredients and help make it as easy as possible to count calories.

  “pick-me” is just the way shitty women describe women who don’t hate men

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon struggles with a one day chip⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What the fuck is with women hating men sleeping? I left multiple women because they hit me over a sleep-related event. My brother got hit with a hammer over it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Excel is probably the one sore spot for LibreOffice, but also Google’s suite and really everyone else. Excel is tough to beat, especially when you consider the additional power of things like Power Query and Excel on web having JavaScript functions.

  That said: I truly despite pivot tables and I no longer use them. Like pie charts, they are usually useless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a female friend⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Any man who has had the misfortune of finding out she didn’t actually want him to open up to her when she said “you never let me in!” understands this double-standard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please choose one⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  lol but seriously this is the first time I’m not buying a Nintendo console on launch in a long time. Their prices here in Canada were already absurd but this gen is just unreal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon works from home⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a whole battery of risks I’d be willing to take to start a business if I just knew there would be a net stopping me from becoming homeless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon works from home⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If we cut the bullshit from office jobs we could have everyone doing maybe a day or two’s worth of work and getting the same amount of actually productive stuff done. Get all these newly underemployed office workers to do some actually productive work 2 days a week and then all the construction/manufacturing/frontline workers can work less too.

  Imagine no longer being chained to the desk and actually getting to teach kids or help old people or cut trees/replant forests for a bit every week. Actually doing something worthwhile, and maybe even touching some grass.

  I love programming but I hate how it’s basically my whole life now.

  Join and/or fund Right to Repair advocacy organizations people. For my fellow Canadians: check out CanRepair, they are currently registering members and will have their first ever AGM March 18

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly North American public transit has been an afterthought for decades. Our urban planning has been stupid beyond belief too. It’s only quite recently that this has begun to change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  100km a day at 40C and you didn’t sweat at all? That’s some interesting fiction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just remember a few points on the scale and kinda eyeball it from there. 98.6(37C) is human core temp, 68(20C) is a pleasant day, 32(0C) is just hitting the freezing point of water. Interestingly the scales converge at -40.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon sees a happy couple⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  lmao no, she reacted much more strongly to my Stardew Valley pick though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon sees a happy couple⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean everyone gets harassed by the small amount of shitheads online. I used to get death threats at least once a day in World of Tanks. People would pick whatever they thought would offend me, throwing racial epithets, ableist terms… Name it, I got it. That’s how shitheads work: they throw stuff at you, see what sticks, and start digging where they see the marks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon compares Harry and Ron⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sword of Truth series has some very cool ancient white magic in the world that you get to see.

  A few books in it goes balls deep into libertarianism and becomes unreadable but it’s fun while it lasts lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon sees a happy couple⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like this guy smokes a lot a grass, does that count?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon sees a happy couple⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife listened to me get mad about Mass Effect 3 so I’m pretty sure she loves me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon sees a happy couple⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Women just don’t thrive on competition the way we do. They will absolutely nerd out on most other shit though, anything from Pokemon party builds to Fallout lore to puzzles.

  The only other girl filter I’ve seen besides competition is the hardcore autistic stuff like logistics and simulators; not nearly as many women playing Factorio, Mudrunner, Elite, etc… They’re out there though, and there are exceptions like Wurm Online that attract more women than you would otherwise expect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon sees a happy couple⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife would casually watch me play until she saw me playing Rust with the bros. She shyly asked if I could build her a computer.

  Brother I had been building, fixing, and overclocking PCs for like 20 years by that point, a few a month even. I slapped one together from spare parts and got her in the game.

  She immediately used the fact that she is a girl to work her way into the good graces of other factions and made us friends I couldn’t have imagined. She would change her name and kill sleepers to make our enemies think they had been raided by other enemies. She would make friends with the resident assholes and then map out their base layout for us.

  My group has people in it like a top 10k solo no-builf Fortnite player, a guy who regularly airdisked people 300m away in Tribes, and two top World of Tanks NA players: we are a force to be reckoned with on any day. She was armed with nothing but kindness and help for good people, and wrath to those who wronged good people.

  She fit right in.

  I only got the backplate but man I’m tempted to do the front too.

  Also transparent filaments are great. I 3D printed an olfa knife handle in transparent green (think Razer’s green) and it looks fucking awesome.

  Seeing some of those idiots even in the comments on fucking Lemmy of all places is crazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hulu quizzing about the ads played⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty over the whole “4chan dystopian joke becomes real life” thing. Corpo dickheads, you can stop now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes to therapy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Always look at a potential spouse’s friends before getting married. Do they cheat, slack off, and just generally kind of suck? Your spouse-to-be will almost certainly follow their example. I say this because most people’s “therapist” are their friends and if their friends are maladjusted assholes you can probably expect more of the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sure, WSJ. Next do an article on Selection Bias⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was already happening. Plenty of people were insulting those complaining about the cost of living, saying things like “What do you mean? The economy is doing fine.” In Canada the finance minister called it a “vibecession”, implying it was all in our heads.

  All these people are talking about asset prices while we talk about the cost of living.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do linux users have wives?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Wife, is in fact, GNU/Wife, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Wife.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon reads the news⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not just populists: many groups have less concern for the truth across the whole political spectrum. Example: feminists and their claim that women make an ever decreasing amount of money relative to men. This claim is based on a single study that compared sweeping aggregate data, and then called the whole thing an actionable issue.

  The problem is that when you get into the weeds of the claim, and you should always do so, you find that there are so many confounding variables that went unaccounted for that the study cannot reasonably conclude anything. Meanwhile women have been graduating at higher rates since the 90s, younger generations of women make more money on average than men, and women have more job security than men. Women also get substantial benefits throughout their education and are considered a minority class for the purposes of hiring in many jurisdictions.

  Be wary of people driven by agendas, even (or perhaps especially) the agendas you think are good.
