Aside from a really good advice on putting activity before home, make sure you sleep enough.
While it may sound tempting to have a few extra hours in the evening, the way you spend them when you’re exhausted is meaningless.
When you get proper sleep, you may have a bit less time on your hands, but you can actually turn the time you do have into something nice.
Trust me - you’ll thank yourself for this when you find out you still have energy after your work.

Sounds fun! Can see how well it runs on Linux.

On the other hand, maybe it will prop up PeerTube for once…

Never saw the show, but I read through the main book series and connected works as a teen.
Was a very worthy read back then. Still warmly remember the series.

Doesn’t anon know Rule34? It’s the first one you need on Reddit
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 1 week ago:
Nice! Heard of new versions of TerraFirmaCraft, but I believe it is community maintained, as the main author seems to focus on Vintage Story. But since you mention it works fine, I might as well give it a spin! Didn’t know Gregtech updated to newer versions.

No need to advertise Prism - using it already :)
Also, UltimMC is a decent offline fork for pirates and privacy enthusiasts (Disclaimer: I do not promote piracy and own a legal Minecraft license)
I’m so lost and then I try to play like a Beta 1.7.3 player and everyone else just goes “the fuck are you doing?”
Happily, I joined Minecraft when it was already 1.7.2 (release versioning, not Beta), so my ways are not THAT outdated, and obviously I never had issues with 1.7.10 because it’s literally my first version with two minor updates. Who would have known that it will all stop there…
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 2 weeks ago:
I too find myself returning back there :)
So many great mods died after this version that it was impossible to recreate the experience.
It goes so bad that when I recently loaded a newer version, I was like “what the hell is going on here” :D
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 2 weeks ago:
Feed the Beast is commonly overloaded and also commonly shoves things like progression and questing, which are not to everybody’s liking.
The best approach is always to add the mods you want manually to tailor the experience.
I personally had most fun with Terrafirmacraft, Thaumcraft, Electrical Age, and GregTech. But those were the days gone, and most of them got stuck at 1.7.10
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 3 weeks ago:
More like complaining about features no one asked for.
Tactile controls are superior, because they can be used without distraction, and the chance of user error is lower.
Besides, they involve less circuitry and are therefore much more reliable.

It all boils down to whether you believe the art is born in the hands of artists or the eyes of the beholder.
To me, do whatever you please! Marry her, draw rule34, make her a zombie, whatever. The original creation is still there, no one’s forcing the unofficial changes. The author is only responsible for the original work.

Actually, this is true as well

Surprisingly enough, all of these statements are at least partially true.
- Comment on ‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder 4 weeks ago:
Everyone is attractive to someone, not necessarily by the looks, but by the spirit, character, and a personal charm.
The problem is dating apps and how they shaped our dating sphere overall.
Aside from intentionally picking mediocre partners with algorithms so you could never find a date and stay there forever, generating profits, the very structure of dating apps is super wrong.
What do you see on most of them? A big photo and a tiny bit of text, which for most people ends up very generic. But looks is only one small part of the picture, and one that doesn’t ultimately decide the fate of relationships for most people. It is exactly that text part that matters, and it cannot be a one-liner.
To get to know someone, you have to talk, interact, and this very interaction is what breathes life into relationships and makes a date an actual date, and not just an evening stroll.
I am certain you know something that will be interesting, amusing, funny to someone, that some people out there would love you as a partner. But, for the love of God, do not look for that someone on dating apps. You’re wasting your time and confidence in a loop designed to have you do just that.
Oh and - it is great that you don’t have several dates a week. This fucks up so bad with the very idea of romance. Relationships are not bargaining chips and not scores to make track of. When you “date” like you choose your new jacket, all the magic and butterflies are gone.
You’re good, don’t screw yourself up and you’ll be golden. Speaking as someone with mid looks and personality and a lot of social awkwardness, while being in healthy long relationships with adorable partner.

Heard of that claim before, but didn’t find studies to back it up, so didn’t include it here. Won’t be surprised if it is true, though

TL;DR The most prominent correlation is between pedophilia and CSA victimhood. Survivors are more likely to develop pedophilic tendencies, though most still don’t. The rest is unclear.
- Comment on psycho killer 1 month ago:
Absolutely. Bring justice to chomos!
- Comment on psycho killer 1 month ago:
There’s actually more to it!
Popular culture tends to equate the terms “pedophile” and “child molester”, even though most pedophiles never sexually abuse any children.
By spreading the hate for all pedophiles, not only do we spread hate for people that never chose to be like that, we also contribute to their social isolation and inability to gain professional help, while at the same time reinforcing the “pedophile = predator” pattern.
Therapy for pedophilia is available, and it works. We need nonjudgmental ways to direct such people to get help, not panic and outcry.
- Comment on psycho killer 1 month ago:
Unfortunately, no, we can’t. Pedophilia appears fairly randomly, and there are many factors of risk, of which genetics has not been indicated.
The good news is, pedophile does not equal child molester! Most pedophiles never abuse children, and by expanding anonymous therapy options, we can ensure even less of them cross the line.
