Good points. Agree completely.
- Comment on Anon sees a happy couple 4 hours ago:
Fuck yeah.
I’ve thought for years that the most attractive features in a person are Curiosity, Care and Growth (as in, learning and improving yourself).
Sounds like you’ve got those in spades.
- Comment on Anon sees a happy couple 4 hours ago:
Nah. You can’t do much about how you look, beyond basic hygene and self care.
You can easily do something about being interested in other people’s lives, and being happy for them being happy and commiserating with them when they’re sad. The bonus with this focus is it also makes you feel better about yourself in the long run.

Think you’re underestimating chan life

Risk is probability times consequence. Focusing on the odds without considering the second half of the equation is stupid.

I didn’t say you’d learn nothing, but the second take was not just to explain (when you’d have the code in front of you to look at), but to actually write new code, for a new problem, from scratch.
- Comment on Anon cheats through college 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think that’s true. That’s like saying that watching hours of guitar YouTube is enough to learn to play. You need to practice too, and learn from mistakes.

Are there way more Australians on Lemmy than I expected, or are people up voting you you of confusion?

I think there’s something about the type of people who are attracted to fame and power being more likely to be sociopathic, or at least more narcissistic. Not all of them, just a higher-than-background rate.
I don’t find it hard to find great people IRL.

Labels never more useful than just as a shortcut to understanding someone’s whole nuanced belief…

Surely there is a meaningful difference between a planned economy/command economy and a semi-regulated market economy? Like, I get that corporate control can still be authoritarian, but it’s different to state control in some ways, I think?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Agree, but I think there are lots of people who are a bit more on the fence, or playing around with ideas. If someone says something stupid out of ignorance or inexperience, and they get blasted for it, they probably aren’t gonna learn much from it, and they might go hang out with the people who responded well to it…
Obviously if you try and it turns out they understand what they are saying, and are doing it intentionally, they can get fucked. Problem is it’s hard to tell sometimes, and not many people have the capacity to tolerate that behaviour enough to find out.

Comment has “no bad vibes” vibes
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t this just an argument that left-right is a bad categorisation?
Tankies are authoritarian socialists. The american right are authoritarian and socially conservative individualists. Anarchists are libertarian socialists. American libertarians are also individualists.
There are lots of other dimensions too, but the left-right designation has been kind of useless at least since communists started fucking over anarchists in various parts of Eurasia in the first half of last century…

George Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia was pretty inspiring to me
(I’ll also add that Anna Funder’s Wifedom make Orwell seem a bit fucked in his personal life. I haven’t read it yet, just had convos with people who did. Seems maybe Homage to Catalonia could have been a better book if he was less of a mysogynist)

Definitely not generally acceptable here in Australia
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I think your approach is very valid IRL, where there’s vocal nuance, and body language, and real people who probably aren’t Russian botfarms and communities that you are both part of. In that case calling-in is the far better option the vast majority of the time.
The general open internet doesn’t have much of any of that though, and general numbers and anonymity and lack of repercussions or accountability make it way too easy to be an arsehole/troll and never try to come to a common understanding. If someone’s doing that, they can fuck right off.
I think there are smaller semi-private internet communities that operate kind of half way between those extremes, where you probably have to take it case-by-case.
I think Lemmy is kinda halfway between the second and their option, but will gradually head more toward the second option as it gets bigger.
