I prefer toaster waffles to pop tarts, and so am unsure how to parse this meme

- Comment on I think its pretty weird how so many lemmites proudly declare that they are blocking each other all the time over the smallest of things. 1 week ago:
Blocking, edits, and downvotes are signs of weakness. An honorable poster exposes themselves to all takes while incessantly spewing their own
That being said I’d block the reddit repost llm guy if he’d stick with one account long enough for it to make a difference lol

Orca have very similar markings and are usually identified by fin/tail shape and proportions. This is very common and well documented behaviour for them to engage in. I’m not going to get into debating blur lol, looks pretty consistent with amount of motion and characteristic of underwater photography to me

Imo it’s impotent rage but hey, I’m not a shark

Yeah, this one’s real. Sharks and orcas do be like that, it’s a heck of a thing to see. Fuck slop and fuck post-truth reality x(

- Comment on Mental health professionals rarely allow you to talk about the socioeconomic factors too 2 weeks ago:
I’m glad to hear that and hope it helps :)
But speaking more broadly, wouldn’t they reccomend anyone seek whatever structure and community they’re compatible with? Aren’t you being guided towards stability, and doesn’t your ability to participate itself reinforce a status quo?
- Comment on Mental health professionals rarely allow you to talk about the socioeconomic factors too 2 weeks ago:
I’m very sorry to have made you feel like a simpleton, and could not be more genuine in my hope you have a nice day. Think the hyperbolic conflation of questioning a therapists role in society with seeing them as part of an illuminati conspiracy set a difficult tone. I’m also getting kinda blown up in another thread right now. If there’s something else you’d like to say, by all means feel free
- Comment on Mental health professionals rarely allow you to talk about the socioeconomic factors too 2 weeks ago:
We have pretty different perceptions of this entire post and thread then. I read the text in the image specifically as a medical professional lamenting that their position pushes them to diagnose a disorder in the individual rather than validate their difficult and unpleasant perceptions of the systems they’re operating in. Acknowledging someone’s experience is well within the scope of therapy, but at the end of the day they can only facilitate change in the individual not the society. It will never say in the patient notes “this guy seems fine, society’s what’s fucked up!” because… That’s in no way therapeutic and has nothing to do with a therapists job. I still don’t really see the contradiction, but this is starting to feel more like goal-oriented litigation than a nuanced discussion so I’m going to wish you well and move on. Have a nice day, fellow poster :)
- Comment on Mental health professionals rarely allow you to talk about the socioeconomic factors too 2 weeks ago:
I don’t see how this contradicts anything I said. Ascribing societal failings to the world just being fucked up is actually a pretty good example to my point. The therapist is there explicitly to help make changes in an individual so they can better participate in society. Their position has no ability to facilitate systemic change even if that happens to be their intention. No therapist is going to help you self-actualize into the best revolutionary you can be, how could they?

Haha jk… unless?
- Comment on Mental health professionals rarely allow you to talk about the socioeconomic factors too 2 weeks ago:
They obviously aren’t part of the “illuminati”, but just as obviously are both invested and well-positioned in that society. Their job is to help integrate you. It’s not a conspiracy, and honestly not particularly complex.
- Comment on For those of you with LineageOS and rely on F-Droid/FOSS apps, how do you make extra money without gig apps like DoorDash? 2 weeks ago:
Flyers/meeting the neighbors classic for a reason. Be flexible and stay active even when it’s not obvious where the money’s going to come from. Selling weed or delivering food can turn into child care or home maintenance, helping someone move or haul off trash can get you treasures to sell, ranting about big tech all the time could get you set up doing cloud-free home automations. “Get in where you fit in”, we used to say. Never forget that every interaction those apps try to mediate is a human one long predating their existence, and you’re not alone in being fed up with them. Uber/lyft/doordash/uhaul type activities were called “gypsy cab” and were a lot more lucrative for the worker/affordable for the consumer before some prick in a datacenter managed to insert themselves

- Comment on Should I tell my dad that his mistake almost cost me a fortune? 5 months ago:
If your kids aren’t better than you at something you fucked up imo. Hope those know it all assholes know you respect them too, this whole world is way too competitive and that kind of recognition from a parent is incredibly affirming
- Comment on Should I tell my dad that his mistake almost cost me a fortune? 5 months ago:
It’s about what dad can gain from being told. Covering up a mistake like this is condescending and any confidence that lets him keep is false. Part of being up to the job is a realistic idea of your capabilities and the ability to receive feedback. If dad’s still a peer and a real part of the team, he needs (and gets) to know. Hiding accidents like this to maintain a more comfortable reality is how you handle a patient during end of life care, not someone who’s still living and working in the world we share.
Conversely… at some point our capabilities dwindle, no one gets to participate in our shared reality forever. If your father’s at a point where you need to shelter and protect him there’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s quite a heavy responsibility to assume and not necessarily going to be easy or fun for either of you. Very similar commitment to raising a child, but keeps getting harder until they die instead of easier as they grow. It’s heavy stuff and no one here can answer this for you op. The way you frame this makes you seem like an intelligent and caring person, you’ve got this. Good luck out there.

I see lemmy as harm reduction, the methadone to instagram’s fent. Incremental changes are often more sustainable than grand gestures, just getting off the infinite feed of short form video would be a huge step in the right direction and probably a lot easier to adjust to from where you’re at

Bro hurl your phone into the sea stat, you’ve got a lot of grass touching to catch up on. Feeling sucked in sometimes I can relate to, reality being the exception is wild. Theoretical damage on the societal level aside this is a huge red flag that this tech is hurting you and you need to disengage. I’m not going to advocate for specific meditations here or anything, just find something to do that doesn’t involve a screen

I believe you that you, personally, in this moment, are acting exactly like the worst red hat pricks. And that just like them you’re acting against your own interests, making your life (and everyone’s you touch) just a little bit worse. Because just like them you’re a useful idiot. Keep your words out of my mouth.
