Holy fuck that is practically impossible to read. It’s like something I would expect to see in grandma’s facebook circles, not an alleged former teacher.

If you’re looking from sense from maga folks you’re not going to get it, if you want to hear from voting liberals you will get your confirmation, but yeesh.

Whatever kills the headache. My mom liked to crush the extra strength into her wine every evening.

Did your mom take Tylenol too?

Ok I’ll bite (literally), how does a person break into this niche, since it is definitely not a market? My engineering degrees did not heavily cover edible plants in my area? I can go find morel mushrooms and identify sassafras but that about covers it.

If I could buy like a ring of +4 to local botany that would be best I think.

Totally reasonable like I said, just very punchy so it’s hard to tell if I just walked into something.

Worst lunch ever.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is real⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
You make enough sense in the points you make.

Responding these things to the post at hand is what makes no sense. It sure looks like either you’ve got an idea in the chamber waiting for a soapbox at best and shilling at worst. I kind of doubt the shill line, but everything you wrote is stereotypical Lemmy and landlords which is unusually asymmetric commentary for a post about how not to get evicted.

This tastes weird. I don’t disagree with you, but I feel like I’m in an advertisement and I don’t like it.

You got that from this post?

“Nowadays” though, for the unaware.

Ugh. Blegh. I tried it the second time and my second opinion is still the same as my first opinion.

I mean this is fine for looks, but what do I do if it looks hard but feels weird in my pocket, or if it tastes really bad?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cause and Effect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Bro, come down out of your own asshole.

Your real, no kidding argument is that this meme template best explains that people believe windmills cause cancer / vaccines cause autism / XYZ crazy thing is that the current state of education is * checks notes * “slave conditioning” and patents are being conspiratorially hidden for “emancipating technologies”? Really?

This to you is a rational following of the discussion and context, not itself a wild non sequitur (note the spelling)?

I don’t care what branch of philosophy you’re studying or what argument logic piques your interest because it just isnt relevant here. You’ve shoehorned an unrequested and unsubstantiated conspiracy theory into a post about people believing improbable and/or deranged things. And no, making your own footnote isnt a substantiation.

You can’t “I am very smart” this into making sense, even by miscounting logical fallacies or trying to couch it as an epistemological discussion which this is not.

Just… yikes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cause and Effect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Total sidetrack and total missing the point.

I didn’t say “taxes are good” or “current education is good”.

The problem I posed is that knowledge transfer is an essential skill and people who are bad at it are–I would suppose–both oblivious to it and easier to take advantage of.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cause and Effect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Should add a sentence to top panel that says “they should teach useful things in school like how to do your taxes!”

spoiler alert: that’s just reading and basic math applied to something besides a test for a grade.

You could argue that if you make up the argument I guess.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I want to know why people who would buy whole beans would grind them in the store.

I often wish that you couldn’t even buy the same brands of coffee either ground or whole bean. The disappointment of accidentally getting a bag of pre ground coffee at some random coarseness is real.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I stop sleeping through everything?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Not sure how you get yours, but I’ve always been a coffee drinker. I cut my caffeine way down by slowly mixing more decaf into the grind when I make the pot. Instead of drinking half a pot or a pot of regular, now I get the equivalent of about a cup or cup and a half if that and it was easy to do.

If it’s soda you could experiment with drinking it from a big cup and doing the same trick mixing in decaf maybe?

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you use non violent communication at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I will also say I like the part where I gave you the win in a cordial thread of the no stupid questions community wherein I admitted I understand the historical value of the term now even though I don’t like it, but you couldnt accept. When you can’t convince me to like it you just gotta tell me what my problem is, downvote every comment, and go home.

The problem here may well be opinion vs expertise, but every time someone brings up skilled and unskilled labor (for example) I do it. As do all of us experts who have an important message, and we should be doing it patiently and without judgement.

So let me, at the close, suggest to you that you go back to the very top and see how your attempt at direct, nonviolent communication came up way short. I think there is value in the approach and there’s value in expertise, but for an “expert” in the field, I find this exchange to be equal parts tone deaf, insightful, and ultimately officious/petulant/immature. This sure felt like some undergraduate level dick measuring bullshit to me 🤷.

Next time I hope you try to destigmatize mental health issues broadly not specifically, and someone calls you out in the same way every time you short circuit a discussion by suggesting that’s why whoever you’re addressing “doesn’t get it”.

Have a great day!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you use non violent communication at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Let it be a lesson when you write your book to choose a better name, then. You won’t have to work against the grain. It will also go easier if you don’t suggest that anyone who disagrees with you has some form of mental health disorder, but that would be nit picking.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you use non violent communication at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The dictionary definition reflects common usage, and we are only having this discussion because I backed up someone else who had the same thought based on, you know, common usage. I’m happy to hear the trivialization for the scenario I described doesnt happen based on your experience. I still don’t like the wording, but then, I don’t have to.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you use non violent communication at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I was not considering violence as a spectrum. Since your last comment, I did some background research and saw that “nonviolent communication” has its roots in a book that came out at the same time that non-violent protest was being put to effective use. In that context it does make sense.

To make sure I wasn’t crazy, I did just google the definition of violence and the top definition is here:
```
violence
/vī′ə-ləns/
noun
Behavior or treatment in which physical force is exerted for the purpose of causing damage or injury.
```
So I appreciate the idea, I don’t prefer the terminology, but I suppose I shouldn’t be hung up about it.

I do take issue with this though:

You are, indeed, conflating all of violence and reducing it to just assault. Which is hurtful and trivializes the suffering of victims of harassment, rape, and many more. Yours is the same logic by which rapists argue that it was not “actual” rape.

My point is the opposite. I think the trivialization goes the other way. Suppose we have a group session for victims of violence. This gradient point now means that a rape survivor, the domestic abuse survivor, and the victim of some race related beat down sit with someone who gets called names on XBox Chat. Are they all victims? Absolutely. Can they be reasonably lumped into the same group? I would think no, but then this is not my area of expertise.

Idk why we had to get rid of swipe up from the bottom where the 3 icons used to always be. Now if you want to get at all the open stuff I have to execute a corner.

That first day was a real bitch and a half.
