• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a term for something like Imposter Syndrome, but instead feeling like it’s other people conspiring to give you an illusory taste of success with intent to pull it away and screw you over?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To me, that just sounds like imposter syndrome. You are assuming that others view you as competent while simultaneously believing that you yourself are not. Isn’t that basically imposter syndrome in a slightly different mask? One that is tinged with paranoia and trust issues, but still imposter syndrome nonetheless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the games you played in your youth that you still play today?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Less Pokémon here than I thought there would be, though it does make a showing. I do gen 2 and 3 now and again. Gen 1, I think I’ve wrung out completely, and gen 4+ (DS and onward) just doesn’t emulate as cleanly in my experience.

  And I guess I’m approaching my 2nd decade of still playing certain MUDs: Achaea/Aetolia, Discworld, Lost Souls.

  I don’t really game much these days, though; certainly not like I used to.

  An undying classic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Two oil brothers, Charles Koch and David Koch, attempted to purchase the entire United States Congress⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Somewhat depressingly they bought my alma mater and gutted a lot of its humanities programs…luckily (for me) I was well graduated by then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we make lemmy have more relevance?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aye - rather than how, why? I do not mind a smaller community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even that is very modern-looking to this Chaucer enjoyer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨N the digital age, it's going to be harder for ICE agents to hide their identities than it was for Nazis trying to evade justice post WW2.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t this essentially WikiLeaks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 4chan dead forever? Where are the refugees going?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if 7chan is still kicking. Back in my chan days, which were like 15 years ago now, yikes, I considered myself to be better than the average 4chan pleb because I used seven instead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My grandma passed away and my aunt sent me a selfie of her, my uncle, and my deceased grandma in the hospital bed, is it normal that I'm put off by this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My paternal grandma died last year. And my dad remarried in 2017.

  Not really enough time for his new wife to establish much rapport.

  Das had always been a Mama’s boy and lived most all of his life clinging to his mom’s skirts anyway.

  Yet when grandma died it was the new wife who casually sent me a picture taken with her phone of my grandma’s corpse in the hospital bed.

  Horrifying, and very inappropriate. All of this is to say that I can relate to your situation and no, you aren’t overreacting.

  These titles are getting wilder and wilder

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a metaphor you like in your language?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Two that are related to falling

  猿も木から落ちる [Even] monkeys fall out of trees [too]. Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you’ll always get it right.

  七転び八起き Fall down 7 times, get up 8. Pretty self-explanatory

  I mean, yeah - they don’t.
