- Comment on What does Lemmy do better than Reddit? 8 months ago:
Yeah… seems like most of the people here are of the younger under 25 crowd, where on Reddit that was still the case but there were a lot more adults to have full adult discussions with. I still check Lemmy but less and less.
- Comment on Do you ever think that maybe all VPN services are actually secretly owned/funded by governments and that they are only giving you a false illusion of privacy? 8 months ago:
This but unironically. Accepts monero and cash? Worth a look.

First video says he woke up speaking only Spanish, a language he’d never spoken fluently before. They didn’t say he was speaking it fluently then either, only that he couldn’t speak English when he first woke up.
Second: TBD (didn’t watch yet)
Third: TBD (didn’t watch yet)

Your question is based on a false premise. There is no ‘foreign language syndrome,’ that’s a myth based on the very real foreign accent syndrome which is where after a stroke or some other neurological issue, people start talking as if they’re from a foreign land. When you learn to speak a language, you’ve trained your tongue muscles in a very specific way and it’s hard to do, think of how long some foreign people you know have been living where you live, and they still don’t have perfect English or whatever your native tongue is.
- Comment on Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing? 9 months ago:
Because he was open and vulnerable and shared a very personal part of his life and immediately someone down voted him.
- Comment on What is a good, healthy, unhurtful, socially positive way to express anger? 9 months ago:
Dunno where you live. Mine both did in grade school.
- Comment on What is a good, healthy, unhurtful, socially positive way to express anger? 9 months ago:
Ever notice how no schools have any emotional intelligence lessons whatsoever?
I don’t remember it being a thing when I was a kid but both my kids have had classes that teach these things.
I also remember I was having issues with a kid in school and the school counselor sat us down and talked to us about anger and emotions, etc. I think we had a short daily session for a few weeks. This was in the 90s.
- Comment on If a question is downvoted on !nostupidquestions, is the question too stupid or was it not stupid enough? 9 months ago:
Do we have a highthoughts sub for questions like this?
- Comment on How can you drive off a gas station with the hose still connected? 9 months ago:
What’s to stop someone driving cross-country or even just for a 1-off fill up and wearing a hat and glasses and covering their plates with cardboard and tape right before coming and going?
E: someone else in the thread mentioned an attendant will make sure they can see people’s faces before starting the pump
- Comment on Do those little plastic "deer whistles" do anything to keep deer from running in front of a car? 9 months ago:
I wonder if this isn’t a different cause and effect scenario. If everyone in the company knew about the deer horns and believed them to work, they likely wouldn’t be taking the precautions they normally did.
Of course they don’t work, but I’m wondering if the placebo effect is what caused the accident rate to go up. Or an increase in deer populations that year, or land development, or etc.
But yes, they don’t work.
- Comment on Is there somewhere adults can speak to someone in times of crisis? 10 months ago:
Keep in mind, many of these people are untrained and unverified and may have no clue what they’re doing and make your situation worse.

- Comment on Are humans the only animal that wipes things off? 10 months ago:
To add the opposite of this, cats do cover up their feces in the wild very well, and housecats will in a litterbox too instinctually. To hide their scent so they don’t get eaten.
It’s all about needs. Humans became the top of the food chain and stopped needing as much, so we started doing other things. Also in the wild if there’s wind then there won’t be as much on things, dust really only starts to gather once walls are built (or in caves I suppose.)
- Comment on Why don’t investigative journalists hide their names, putting themselves in danger? 10 months ago:
The first rule of Black Comedy Film Club is you don’t talk about Black Comedy Film Club.
- Comment on When people say that apps are stealing your data, what exactly does that mean? 10 months ago:
Many social media/messenger apps take your contact list and if deny the request it will disable features.
- Comment on How do I breathe quietly through my nose? 10 months ago:
I only ask because it’s highly relevant.
Are you overweight, or obese?
- Comment on Do Huawei phones have a secret backdoor that the Chinese government can access? 10 months ago:
The backdoors the NSA uses are known vulnerabilities, 0days, USB drops, all the normal hacker tools… and if it’s a target of sensitive enough in nature, maybe a warrant requiring Apple Update/Windows Update/whoever or whatever device needs spied on, to deliver a payload to that specific machine.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 10 months ago:
Use tor browser then.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 10 months ago:
And?
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 10 months ago:
It’s a machine learning epidemic. Now that blogspam can be automated in a way that Google can’t even look for without penalizing a ton of sites because people write in a similar style to ML tools, search is basically fucked in its current form. Back to human hand curated webrings.
- Comment on How do I stop hating children? 10 months ago:
Interestingly this is measurable. I have a garmin watch and whenever children are close for 15 mins, I get a relaxation reminder telling me to do breathing exercises. So this mental defect manifests itself physically.
A stress response is a stress response. Maybe you have a bit of a mind/body disconnect - I realized I did many years ago in therapy when I was upset about something and he asked where I felt it and I asked what he meant. I’ve worked on it since, paying attention to whether I feel a tightness in my stomach, chest, butterflies, etc. It’s helped me notice patterns I didn’t before.
- Comment on what is the fedipact? 11 months ago:
I think it’s supposed to have an early internet feel, and it does, but it’s meh.
- Comment on Is the saying, "The internet's written in ink, not pencil" accurate? 11 months ago:
Yes, links die. Servers die without being backed up by the other. But there is a higher chance that someone saved anything juicy… nudes, sensitive info you shared, etc. There are also a lot of website backups in the 50-100 terabyte range that aren’t actually on the web for viewing, but if you can find it in the torrent you can download it.
- Comment on What is a stock trading bot called, and is there a way I can make/get my own? 1 year ago:
Yup. I built a crypto trading bot waaaay back in the day (2013ish). 2014 onward the crypto scene started to really fill with scammers and of course people figured out the same strategies (not that what I was doing was unique). The best way to do this pre- and during COVID was to pump & dump crypto before it was regulated. Use a token generator and pay people to hype it up. Now? Go directly to jail, do not pass go.
- Comment on Was this guy at the store judging me? 1 year ago:
In many stores around me the fitting rooms are locked and require keys for entry due to theft. I’m not sure that was it. I’m wondering if OP is overthinking the situation and the guy just remembered something semi-traumatic from earlier in the day, or saw something bad happening behind OP or something.
- Comment on why is the world suddebly focused on the irsali-palestine conflict and hamas group? 1 year ago:
To add to this, Israel has not performed a full-scale military invasion into Gaza before now.
