Correct me if I am wrong. I remember some video someone showed me that rhythm is actually more important than pure ‘time spent asleep’.

So if you are in a light phase, and something wakes you out of your general routine, then you ‘randomly’ wake up but its much easier since you were already quite awake.

Contrary to waking up in ‘deep sleep’ rem, which will make you feel absolutely shit. I think a phase is 40-45 minutes ?

I at some point used a cracked version of ‘sleep like android’ or ‘sleep cycle’ and that helped immensly

And it is accurate. Sadly missing the massive carbon footprint, involuntary sexual content depictions (generating unwanted porn), and ease-of-mass manipulation and opinion swaying.

Good try tho

… It’s 10 minutes of clearly spoken English, I worry about your attention span…

While what he says is broadly correct and I like that he makes it simple and understandable. I would like to add that: Companies aren’t ‘subject’ to this because they are forced by government. Companies actively lobbied for these laws so that they can say ‘the government forces us’ since the lobbying is WAY easier (and behind more closed doors) than actually implementing such a data harvesting tool as a single company.

His wording makes it sound like ‘big brother wants your data’ and while the gov profits immensely from this harvesting as well, the companties primarily got this thing going by lobbying for it, like meta lobbying for verification laws wayyy ahead of this implementation wave we are seeing.

Tbh. I am not sure how ‘chiropractic’ differs to the German one. Over here its classified as ‘alternative medicine’ which technically is not school/book medicine.

Though I’ve had weird stinging back pain when I stretch for YEARS, and I went to a chiro. He pretty quickly figured out that some muscle is permanently tense but also stuck in that state due to pressing on a nerve due to tense-ness. Infiltrated the thing with some light anaesthetic, no more back pain, for years now i’ve been free of it.

How is this in the English tounge ? Over here it is actually pretty well regarded as a ‘do this if book medicine can’t help you besides cutting you open’ which is a lot of medial cases. At least in my circle.

I am skeptical of just classifying something as a scam because its not book medicine. Acupuncture is technically not regarded as medicine over here. But you cannot deny it works, as a lot of Asien countries can absolutely, attest with years of history.

I’ve once been so extremly drunk that I could not stop puking or even remember it happening. A friend of mine can do acupuncture and she stuck it in my hand on a specific spot. I instantly stopped puking. Feels crazy though

Love the animation! Is it from a larger clip/show?

… Why is there such a blatant paint-edit on the bottom right where I would expect the original artist to have put his/her signature ?

Not saying youre wrong, but you are oversimplifying human priorities in life. I think it is similar to, when we tech nerds say, ‘just switch to linux’ People want stuff to just work. Mentally a few hundred Euros is easily worth the perceived simplicity of a product.

Advertisement and just general brainwashing does heavy lifting here as well. Apple still has a reputation for simplicity even though recently, I have only heard lifelong users have a LOT of trouble with it. Especially since the liquid Glas thing.

If I am in the middle of life, maybe kids, not a lot of time, job pressure. Chances are I want my free time to be outside the computer. Most people would rather chew Glas than sit down and read the arch wiki so setup (wild example) encrypted partitions. The bias on Lemmy is immense but it would be ignorant to say that normal people should ‘stop being lazy and just switch’

That’s essentially the same issue just one level down. No reasonable ‘tech noob’ would willingly choose an OS for which they know that they will find reduced support for. ‘Fix X on IOS’ is quite a lot more likely to find results that. ‘Fix X on murena /e/os’

Wild example for a custom os

You might be fastly overestimating the average persons tech-literacy…

Almost anyone I know gets a mild panic attack when a button slightly moves or their preferred app stops working. Recently had a conversation with someone flipping their shit that the apple ‘Download’ dropdown (dropup?) From the task bar, does not let you drag and drop any files, just open them.

I think expecting even 0.0001 of the world to be able to flash/boot a custom ROM nowadays is a high order. Even if its so much easier than it was a few years ago…

They would be scared shitless from a terminal window let alone ‘[Y]es/[N]o’ ’

I use radicale: https://radicale.org/v3.html in a docker container. Its really simple, and maybe not for you as you may be looking for browsing and editing

Man, whoever is a male gynocologist or a female urologist is gonna be really confused how they had a successfully business, with no or at least almost no customers…

I feel like this might sound unhealthy of me but: The angrier/more frustrated I get, the better. Angry isnt bad in my head, angry at $thing gets shit done because I do not want to see it or have it in my head anymore than necessary.

Though I enjoy once I start even if I hate $thing since I like computers/coding/learning.

This single thing got me through university. I dont want to do $thing -> not doing it keeps it on my mind -> once I have a single minute free I will make a plan where to begin the thing -> when I have a good chunk of the time I may need for it I do it just so the thing is finally gone.

Healthy? Up for debate. Can’t argue with the results tho…

Edit: I am typically a very jolly and happy Person ^^ there is just this research and writing stuff in uni where it feels like pleasing some arbitrary line the prof drew ._.

I am thankful! sadly my non-techie friends all stick to league because it ‘works’.

And thinking about joining dota’s toxic community that is even remotely like league’s toxic community makes me break out in cold sweat ._.

Usage as a relative percentage to total population would be more useful as a graph… This is mostly just a population map as absolute numbers are not a good comparison…

They should overhaul their fckin anticheat so I can finally play it again on my Linux machine ._.

Fair, but then blanked assuming this, sounds like the wrong approach, But I am not about to teach you how to act on the internet; you do you. Before your accusation, there was a nice explanation that helped me understand, thanks for that.

Oohhh we are both interpreting this differently! Okay now I get and yeah youre right. Then I misread this.

I understood this as ‘10 years ago it was like that and you’d have to eat it, and now, people can just tell them they are wrong because of the progress in the field’

I didn’t think of it as "I can finally tell people who told me it was being rash 10 years ago to suck it.

Makes more sense tbh :/ sorry for misinterpreting this.

But not everyone is a troll who has a different view of you, I just understood it differently

I am struggling to understand why approaching any topic with calm and critical thinking instead of potentially rash action based on potentially temporary feelings is toxic?

If you’re internally dating to be queer for a long time, that clearly is not a temporary situation. If you then talk to someone and they throw that statement, of course, they can go f themselves.

My critique is that this phrase is very general and not healthy to just put out there in a general context. Words mean things, in general. This is not a phrase like arbeit macht frei or something that is obviously used in bad faith. The phrase is, in my opinion, reasonable.

I am sharing that, in my experience, if I had used this approach on everything my friends or family have said, I would not be where I am today, and I definitely regret a LOT of decisions that I thankfully avoided because people told me to go slow and think critically before acting. or “Not acting on a potentially temporary feeling”.

If my experience is unhealthy to you, so be it, but it’s not toxic to tell you what or how I have made positive experiences hearing this phrase. To me, especially how it’s drawn here the character with the stamp is being toxic. Dismissing without asking someone who is calmly saying something. Depict the saying character in a dismissive or hostile way? Fair point.

I used to be in the queer community more, but was trying to get away from the internet in general after experiencing just … general hostility to any challenge to any kind of established thought or trend.

With this context, I would also agree with the meme. And obviously, in your situation, encouragement would be much better. I was also in a situation of being dismissed, and I believed the people saying these things too.

But I also remember friends of mine appealing to my critical thinking, like: “Okay, maybe think about this some more instead of doing the first thing that seems like you want to do”. I wouldn’t be here if I just dismissed all those critiques as well, just because they are phrased as in this meme…
