- Comment on What's the easiest way to get hookups without seeing escorts? 1 week ago:
This comment was adressed at other people giving advice, not for OP.
- Comment on If you had 1 dollar and 24 hours what would you do? 1 week ago:
Beg on the streets for someone to give me 1 dollar
- Comment on Goosebumps: The Game will be removed from sale on August 8, 2025. 2 weeks ago:
I’ve never heard of this. Can you give some kind of context?
- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 2 weeks ago:
My philosophy is: “if everyone behaved like I did, would we have any/this problem?” and if the answer is no, I’m fine.
The thing is that many people see injustice in the world and want to fix it now, which means forcing other people to not be assholes. But the problem with forcing other people to do/think something is that it doesn’t generally work, at least not without causing a massive amount of suffering in the other direction. Everyone generally thinks they’re the good guy of the story, no matter how much evil they do. They think the evil is necessary to stop other, more evil things.
Like for example, Israelis think that Muslims wanna wipe them out, and so it’s only good to wipe these evildoers out first… And exactly the same thoughts happen in the other direction. At this point, it doesn’t matter anymore who started it. Both sides wanna stop the other side from doing more evil, and this attempt to stop is creating more evil.
Doesn’t have to be so severe though. Could just be parents forcing their child to eat their veggies. Eating their veggies is good, and so you might think the parent is doing the right thing of forcing their child to eat it. But, most often, all that happens is that the child will forever hate eating veggies and as soon as it’s away from the parents, never eat veggies again. Until they turn adult and learn for themselves that eating veggies is good, and try to do it, but the trauma of being forced is hard to reverse.
And that example is our constant state of existence with basically everything.
Everyone wants to force everyone else to do/not do something, and even if one side is right, the action of forcefully trying to change someone else usually backfires in some way. Force doesn’t need to be physical force btw, shame (mental pain) is also a kind of force.
I’m not saying you should turn the other cheek to everything. That force should never be stopped with force. I’m just saying that most of the time, you can’t make other people change their ways. But you can always completely change your own ways. And if everyone did that, we’d actually have no problems anymore. But most of the time, people start trying to fix problems in others before they fixed their own, and that is almost a complete waste of energy.
Of course, that philosophy doesn’t stop injustices from happening right now. But it gives a peace of mind in some way. If you are truly convinced that if everyone was like you, the world would be a nice place, then you can be content, at least with yourself.
Honestly, this is only part of the answer, there is more to answering your question fully, but I don’t wanna write more right now. If you want to know more, let me know.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 2 weeks ago:
You don’t, I’m saying it would still mostly work. Getting messages as they arrive is nice but not necessary. For example, I personally have all notifications off, and I only see messages when I specifically look for them, no one can reach me instantly. Everyone seems to be missing that we’re talking about degradation here, it degrades, it gets worse with JS disabled. But it shouldn’t straight up not work.
A good example for something that does not work without JS would have been a drawing application like they said, or games, there are plenty of things that literally do not work without JS, but messaging is not one of them. Instant messaging would be of course.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 2 weeks ago:
The web interface can already be reloaded at any time and has to do all of this. You seem to be missing we’re talking about degradation here, remember the definition of the word, it means it isn’t as good as when JS is enabled. The point is it should still work somehow.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 2 weeks ago:
There’s a difference between “wouldn’t work” and “wouldn’t work as nicely”. That’s what this post is about :D Most websites would still work in the same basic way without js.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 2 weeks ago:
requiring JS makes sense on some sites, namely those that act more like web apps that let you do stuff (like WhatsApp
I mean yes, but Whatsapp is a bad example. It could easily use no JavaScript. In the end it’s the same as Lemmy or any other forum, you post a message, get a new page with the message. Switching chats is loading a new site. Of course JavaScript enhances the experience, makes it more fluid, etc, but messengers would work perfectly fine without JavaScript.
- Comment on I'm looking to buy a new rig, as I'm not from US the dolar going down will help me immensely. Now how do you think it will behave in the coming weeks? 2 weeks ago:
Probably a new set of masts & sails for their boat.
Or a new oil pumping station.
Or maybe a new truck.
- Comment on How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny? 3 weeks ago:
stfu
;)
- Comment on How does a guy become his most confident around women? 3 weeks ago:
Stop having a goal with women specifically. You talking about experience and success with women is literally the total opposite of what makes sense.
Just have fun with a person. You have had fun interacting with people before, right? Just do that. The literal only difference is that you can sprinkle in some sexual innuendos or some shit, if you think of it. If not, also fine. Then go home and resume what you always do. Repeat.
If while doing this you ever notice some sexual tension, just do something sexual. Touch them. Or tell them you find them attractive. Or ask to kiss them. Whatever, it literally doesn’t matter. If they don’t like it, you’ll likely notice because they tell you and then you can do something different. If they like it, you’ll also likely notice, and continue escalating from there. Touching platonic -> kissing -> making out hair/neck/back-> touching sexually titties/butt -> touching pussy. Natural progression.
If you notice something afterwards, while thinking about it (like someone giving you obvious signals that you completely missed), if you can, just respond to the signal as soon as you notice, don’t think “now it’s too late”. In fact, it’s never to late until you tried it and it didn’t work.
But yeah, I can’t stress this enough. The most important thing is to not expect anything. In fact, maybe you’ll never have sexual contact again. It’s best if you’re content with nothing but masturbating for the rest of your life.
- Comment on It’s the little things 3 weeks ago:
I mean you can just ventilate whenever you spill something.
The larger problem would be the entire water-based ecosystem.
- Comment on life is suffering. 3 weeks ago:
Was about to say… “said by an Instagram model sho eats 1 grape a day”
- Comment on Why is so hard for musicians to have a good living and be famous? 4 weeks ago:
It’s just much more profitable for record labels to have a few superstars than thousands of mini-stars. A usual person won’t follow and buy from 100 music artists. They’ll buy from 1 to 10 or whatever. Having large fandoms allows you to sell more tertiary things like plush toys and shit like that, it wouldn’t be feasible to do that for thousands of artists.
And in general there’s just too many amazing musicians. People love making music and as such there’s an oversupply. In addition to the above points that’s just capitalist supply and demand in play.
- Comment on Does people doing things that upset others also upset you? 5 weeks ago:
Neither sexism nor racism needs to be active hate towards someone. If you just absentmindedly select a white person for s job, you might not even be aware you did it nor do you need to hate the black applicant.
- Comment on How do I use Firefox and block YouTube ads? 1 month ago:
The last time I remember stuff like this happened, it was because of addon conflicts, fresh Firefox with only ublock origin “fixed it” for many people, indicating some other addon was the problem.
