It’s no problem. I appreciate the help! Not sure if they mostly got bored or not anyway!

Yeah if you’re using them up that quick, you’re not likely to really come across it.

You’ve never experienced freezer burn? It’s not when it feels too cold to touch.
Freezer burn is when “unwrapped” food in the freezer gets ice crystalized all over it. It turns the texture into a disgusting mess when it’s cooked…overly chewy and even messes with the taste.
It happens more often when food has been opened and then placed in the freezer for a prolonged period of time.
I say unwrapped because it doesn’t necessarily mean just open without a container. Like for example I have a bag of chicken nuggets in the freezer. The bag has a re-closable ziplock type closure. However, sometimes over time, if I’ve opened and re-closed the bag, sometimes some of the remaining nugs get freezer burned.
If you’re using up said bag of nuggets relatively quickly, then it’s not a concern. But if you’re only having nuggets once and a while, then freezer burn is more likely to happen.

Honestly, I’m with you on that.
Idk maybe it’s because I’m a millennial who has boomer parents who never “got ahead” in life. One of my parents is unlikely to ever be able to retire. I never got the “rich boomer” hate because my parents continue to work and struggle financially in their mid to late 60s.
Gets a bit tiring to hear large swaths of people shit on other large swaths of people all the time. Such is the internet, I suppose.

You know when I initially joined Lemmy I was actually on Beehaw. Was a somewhat pleasant time until they went nuclear with defederating from everyone and all that jazz.

On one hand, I completely and totally hear you. The thing that people don’t think about is that they do color someone’s initial impression of a comment. So you’re significantly more likely to get more negative engagement from others that way. It’s why some places/sites sometimes obscure the initial votes for a set number of time.

It occurred to a huge number of comments suddenly at 3-3:30am. And then another user today just now. Image

I guess that’s my difficulty. I don’t how to navigate to their profile from my instance. I only know how to go to their instance to find their profile.

Looks like there are now four of them. This is very upsetting as I’ve blocked them and don’t want to have to make a new account. :( I’ve never been systemically harassed before online.

Do you happen to know how I can send a message to someone on the fediverse without navigating to their profile? I’m a bit slow but I can’t seem to figure it out. When I go to the instance in question to figure out who the admin is, I can’t message them because I am not logged in on that instance. I tried searching their name in the post/comment search feature, but they don’t seem to always pop up that way.

Thank you. I see them now. Do you know how I would go about reporting them and to who? Tbh I’m a bit confused on how this works with federated communities. It’s not as if we’re all on the same collective.
Will blocking them help stop them from mass downvoting me or no?
- Comment on My comments are suddenly all being mass downvoted. Looking for some help. 4 days ago:
Thank you. How did you see who is downvoting me? Curious what I can do with this information. If they are following me across multiple communities then I’m not sure who to report them to.

- Comment on Checkmate Dad 1 week ago:
CBT always felt so invalidating to me. Prior to even hearing of this stuff, I had always felt that my perceptions, thoughts, and feelings were “wrong”. Bringing out that stupid cognitive distortions list and naming which ones I was using at any given moment was not helpful. It just confirmed how badly I felt about myself. It confirmed that my existence was “wrong”. I couldn’t logic myself out of my feelings.
I appreciated DBT so much more. Yes, cognitive distortions are touched on, but they aren’t the forefront and aren’t shoved down your throat. DBT has a really important concept which states that BOTH logic AND your feelings are incredibly important. And that it’s important to marry the two to navigate life in a much more helpful and satisfying way.

I really doubt it’s that deep. The price likely just changes globally.
So if you pick up your item while it’s $7, but then walk to the register and it’s now $9, it would ring up as $9.
Yeah, that does sound like deceptive marketing, but my random guess is that it likely isn’t changed much throughout the day.
- Comment on This camouflaged speed bump 1 week ago:
Idk…a lot of speed bumps I’ve come across are crazy violent. They aren’t sloped enough and instead project upwards very abruptly.
Obviously, not every speed bump is the same, but still.
I really would prefer for hidden speed bumps to not exist when I’m riding my motorcycle, for example, where that can be a rather dangerous “feature” of the road.

Is this a serious comment
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 week ago:
Interesting. I thought a lot of Japanese dwellings were smaller than the average American home. But I’m in the US and my entire bathroom is like between one third and one half of this image. I don’t have room for a setup like this without making the neighboring room significantlly smaller.

One thing that my brain is bothered by for whatever reason is that he uses the same character for both voiced and unvoiced forms of “th”. That may very well be the proper usage, but for some reason my brain doesn’t like it! Dunno why!

This is a support thread. I was giving some of my thoughts on it. It didn’t seem to be a space where a back and forth debate made sense.
I posted the comment you replied to when you being unkind to me and started accusing me of things that I did not do.
Please understand that you are speaking to another human when you are doing this. I am a living, breathing being. And you are being hurtful.
Being hurtful is not only unfair to me, but you are hurting yourself in the process. I found a lot of help discovering DBT, and I just rambles on about it as something that felt relevant to the scenario.

I think there’s some confusion. The linked post isn’t deleted. But the linked post is in an ADHD community. It sounds like OP posted the same content or linked to it in lemmy.world/c/mentalhealth . I do not see evidence of it in the mental health community, so it must have gotten removed from there.

Thanks for the update. Was getting frustrated that I can hardly do or see anything lol. Hope it gets resolved soon!

I know you are hurting right now and you need somewhere for that hurt to go, but I am not your enemy. I am not familiar with the users you posted, nor do I have the ability to change your situation. I’m just some random a bit bored on my weekend off haha. It’s somewhat marred by the fact that Lemmy keeps erroring out every time I try to do something, but alas.
To be frank with you, I’m not interested in having some long protracted debate with you about the content of your original post.
I’m sorry for the ramble (we both appear to be prone to it lol) and I know this sounds a bit out of left field, but have you heard of DBT? I don’t have ADHD myself, but I struggle with the intensity of my emotions when something happens to me. I’ve read that a lot of people with ADHD struggle with this too. You are absolutely valid in being hurt and upset, but your own behavioral response afterwards isn’t necessarily helping you out. I’ve been trying my best to have a more nuanced understanding of things, myself, life, etc., and to be less polarizing in “right” vs. “wrong”. I don’t always succeed (as no human is perfect), but I feel as though it has helped me out.
I do wish I had another mental health community to direct you towards that would welcome you, but unfortunately I don’t at the moment.
I can only hope you do something fun/nice for yourself today to try to make what happened weigh less on your mind! Wishing all the best!

Couple of things. First, I’m sorry for your mental health struggles and your ban from a mental health community.
I think what you’ll find is that people get such a hard on for hatred of AI, that you’ll likely get posts banned and removed from other communities if people think you are using it. Is it fair? It’s besides the point, really. It’s just that unfortunately it’s not going to be very popular…fairness or not. As you’ve seen, even suspected AI use has the risk of people acting this way to you.
Next, neurotransmitters and the brain are a hell of a lot more complicated than they appear. Remember when everyone thought that major depressive disorder was simply a deficiency in serotonin? Well, modern evidence shows that that isn’t at all the case and it’s much more complicated than that. It doesn’t change the fact that SSRIs can be beneficial, but it changes our understanding as to how and why they may be.
ADHD is not simply a deficiency of dopamine and norepinephrine. Reducing it to that is highly inaccurate. If that were true, then drugs that increase both of these would be curative. But they aren’t. Symptoms are managed with ADHD drugs, but you’ll still struggle.
ADHD involves disturbances of dopamine and norepinephrine, but as to why and how that comes to be is another question. You can look at it as correlation versus causation. There is clearly an association there, but not necessarily a causative one.
Psychological disorders are no longer viewed as simple dediciencies in specific neurotransmitters. That is really not the case anymore with modern research. So in that regard I can see how someone would call an assertion with that as misinformation.
