  Boy have I got some news to share about what goes on during wars!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that evidence of your point of a creeping line of illegality?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The classic slippery slope, thin end of the wedge argument.

  A reasonable position, you’re gonna need some evidence of intention or history to give it some heft though.

  Anything claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why they need to change the law. Duh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to tell you something unsatisfying: your personal consumption choices will not make a meaningful difference to the amount of enshittification you experience in your life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I live without adverts in my life.

  I have no subscription services.

  When a service stops being useful I switch.

  Aside from my steam library, I own everything I own. I don’t find this difficult. I’m not missing out, I enjoy films, TV, games, friends, work and life generally.

  My personal choices have made a massive difference to my experiences, if I compare them to the ones I see people talking about on Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s something unpredictable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty much exactly what I do to signpost people, makes sense for other professionals to do the same.

  I bet there’s other jobs that would join in and make a network!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I went to a shrink, to analyze my dreams She said it’s lack of sex that’s bringing me down I went to a whore, he said my life’s a bore So quit my whining 'cause it’s bringing her down

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Part my of job as a therapist is referrals and signposting.

  Wanna swap contact details so we can refer clients to one another?

  It’d be good to have somewhere to send them when they start getting too attached!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you still remember?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What else would you like to know?

  Mother’s maiden name? First pet’s name?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people calculate pi to the hundredth+ decimal place?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s numberwang?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Didn't ask.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if you believe their leaders are playing real 4D chess

  Otherwise, I’d say they’re more like a nurgle plague.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hedgehog X-ray⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Worse thing about getting old. That’s what my ballsack looks like now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My dog and I watching TV. If your initial reaction was different you have a filthy mind⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird place to sit and watch TV!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tough new driving rules could land Brits with a ban for ‘minor’ mistakes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well when you frame it like that… Sounds reasonable, but I guess that’s your point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most Common PIN Codes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I use 0451, for those who know!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In heat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does their mum notice this happening?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't Steam or Discord offer the option to hide when we're typing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you considered that you don’t have to send a full message when you mistype?

  People know that happens

  Why are you not fighting for this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It used to be just weird Christians, but now everyone's pretty much on board with burning Harry Potter books.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As a psychotherapist, let me tell you, it would be a good idea if more adults read some children’s books sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin over the internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think paying for remote access counts as a hoop.

  As in “that’s a pain in my hoop”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, this is what people did back then⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it have to be one or the other?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ask the crickets⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow.

  It’s zero degrees here in June.

  Weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder God⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  ASSUMING DIRECT LAMP CONTROL

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Have a read about solilosism for inspiration which may help with your confusion

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As a therapist surrounded by therapists, and we all constantly notice things, it does get a bit much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I got an SMB sync app on my phone, stores any new music I’ve found into the network folder and syncs it up on my phone.

  Sorted. Wherever I get more tracks from, they’re available on all my devices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boomer Decisions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Boomers never wonder about stuff.

  They think all their beliefs are true & obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If only my parents knew⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And I assume my mom too

  Can confirm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly why I wanted one. Exactly why I then got it, and on discovering it worked exactly like I wanted, I got a better one.

  If you’ve ever wished for a bigger screen on your phone…

  (I love toys, gadgets and tech so for me the price point was worth it. Objectively, the higher price I don’t think is justified by the higher utility)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There should be a universal standard indicator for whether a comment chain should be read top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If God had intended us to communicate with Brevity, he would never have generated the outrageous monstrosity that is the verbose English language.
