  You’re comparing apples to oranges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Question. Will the people that have to wait until 70 to get Social Security ever get what they paid in to it back out before they die since men's life expectancy is only 77 now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  8 years are 2 election cycles. Much can happen in that time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube is allowing Youtubers to advertise their merch even for premium users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Writing is way more than creating outlines or checking the plot for problems. It’s more than even writing a first draft. In fact, it starts with the first round of edits, when characters awake and find their voices etc.

  People who think writing with AI is just pushing buttons underestimate the complexity of the process, and using AI for things you’d usually use other writers’ feedback or betas or developmental editors for is just an evolution of tools, the same way we don’t scratch on stone tablets anymore today.

  It’s very simple actually. Russia invaded a souvereign country. The end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why was a defederation request post locked deleted and the poster banned?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If they say it on their instance and you can see it on yours, they’re not saying it “on their instance”, unless we get an option to block whole instances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why shouldn’t I just give up on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  On sh.itjust.works, shit just works.

  As for apps, I’m using Liftoff, which works well, but hasn’t seen an update for a while, and I don’t know how active the dev is. I’d rather not use Jerboa, which has been created by tankies, or any of the ad-infested ones, like Boost, because I think it’s despicable to try and profit off of user-generated content on a platform that’s meant to be free (could have stayed on Reddit if I wanted that).

  No, they didn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man attacked by two dogs near school in Stonnall dies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have two dogs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man attacked by two dogs near school in Stonnall dies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Dogs don’t do that “for fun”, there must be more behind this story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does one resist getting into protracted arguments while still staying informed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I make one attempt to explain myself, maybe add a clarification. If it still looks like it’d turn into an argument, I just let it go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1 Week of Water Fasting - My Experience⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  People have been fasting for way longer than a week without starving. Starvation doesn’t happen voluntarily, and it doesn’t happen under the eyes of a doctor.

  If your choices are living with the consequences of obesity and a week of controlled ketosis, it’s on you to decide which way to take.

  Comparing a one week fast with starvation seems hyperbolic, to say the least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1 Week of Water Fasting - My Experience⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you work with a doctor, it’s no big deal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1 Week of Water Fasting - My Experience⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Gonna check this out on my way home. I did a few water fasts, too, and am interested in your experience.

  Look forward to Barbie 2-5 in the coming decade.
