- Comment on YSK: Lemmy supports custom emojis, your instance may have some. 5 days ago:
They’re just ![]() tags, you can embed any image in your comments

This comment was adressed at other people giving advice, not for OP.

I’ve never heard of this. Can you give some kind of context?
- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 1 week ago:
My philosophy is: “if everyone behaved like I did, would we have any/this problem?” and if the answer is no, I’m fine.
The thing is that many people see injustice in the world and want to fix it now, which means forcing other people to not be assholes. But the problem with forcing other people to do/think something is that it doesn’t generally work, at least not without causing a massive amount of suffering in the other direction. Everyone generally thinks they’re the good guy of the story, no matter how much evil they do. They think the evil is necessary to stop other, more evil things.
Like for example, Israelis think that Muslims wanna wipe them out, and so it’s only good to wipe these evildoers out first… And exactly the same thoughts happen in the other direction. At this point, it doesn’t matter anymore who started it. Both sides wanna stop the other side from doing more evil, and this attempt to stop is creating more evil.
Doesn’t have to be so severe though. Could just be parents forcing their child to eat their veggies. Eating their veggies is good, and so you might think the parent is doing the right thing of forcing their child to eat it. But, most often, all that happens is that the child will forever hate eating veggies and as soon as it’s away from the parents, never eat veggies again. Until they turn adult and learn for themselves that eating veggies is good, and try to do it, but the trauma of being forced is hard to reverse.
And that example is our constant state of existence with basically everything.
Everyone wants to force everyone else to do/not do something, and even if one side is right, the action of forcefully trying to change someone else usually backfires in some way. Force doesn’t need to be physical force btw, shame (mental pain) is also a kind of force.
I’m not saying you should turn the other cheek to everything. That force should never be stopped with force. I’m just saying that most of the time, you can’t make other people change their ways. But you can always completely change your own ways. And if everyone did that, we’d actually have no problems anymore. But most of the time, people start trying to fix problems in others before they fixed their own, and that is almost a complete waste of energy.
Of course, that philosophy doesn’t stop injustices from happening right now. But it gives a peace of mind in some way. If you are truly convinced that if everyone was like you, the world would be a nice place, then you can be content, at least with yourself.
Honestly, this is only part of the answer, there is more to answering your question fully, but I don’t wanna write more right now. If you want to know more, let me know.
- Comment on I'm looking to buy a new rig, as I'm not from US the dolar going down will help me immensely. Now how do you think it will behave in the coming weeks? 2 weeks ago:
Probably a new set of masts & sails for their boat.
Or a new oil pumping station.
Or maybe a new truck.

- Comment on How does a guy become his most confident around women? 2 weeks ago:
Stop having a goal with women specifically. You talking about experience and success with women is literally the total opposite of what makes sense.
Just have fun with a person. You have had fun interacting with people before, right? Just do that. The literal only difference is that you can sprinkle in some sexual innuendos or some shit, if you think of it. If not, also fine. Then go home and resume what you always do. Repeat.
If while doing this you ever notice some sexual tension, just do something sexual. Touch them. Or tell them you find them attractive. Or ask to kiss them. Whatever, it literally doesn’t matter. If they don’t like it, you’ll likely notice because they tell you and then you can do something different. If they like it, you’ll also likely notice, and continue escalating from there. Touching platonic -> kissing -> making out hair/neck/back-> touching sexually titties/butt -> touching pussy. Natural progression.
If you notice something afterwards, while thinking about it (like someone giving you obvious signals that you completely missed), if you can, just respond to the signal as soon as you notice, don’t think “now it’s too late”. In fact, it’s never to late until you tried it and it didn’t work.
But yeah, I can’t stress this enough. The most important thing is to not expect anything. In fact, maybe you’ll never have sexual contact again. It’s best if you’re content with nothing but masturbating for the rest of your life.

I mean you can just ventilate whenever you spill something.
The larger problem would be the entire water-based ecosystem.
- Comment on YSK: If you set up a Lemmy instance, and follow the Docker setup instructions to the letter, it will send lemmy.ml your admin password during the setup process 3 weeks ago:
There is no other reason to do it like this in a Lemmy post other than you want to publicly discredit the devs somehow. This is quite obviously a mistake and not a way to harvest admin passwords. Just fixing it and not trying to stir up shit would have been the right thing to do.

OP managed to find the bug. He knows how to fix it. Obviously he’d know how to make an issue about it, and probably even know how to contribute his fix that he already made in the official way to the open source project.
You do not possess these skills so obviously you’re not the one who should make the issue.
Yet he decided to somehow create this public post highlighting something that could be sketchy to try to publicly discredit the devs. There is no other reason to do it like this.

Why make a Lemmy post about this and not just a GitHub issue?
- Comment on Why is so hard for musicians to have a good living and be famous? 3 weeks ago:
It’s just much more profitable for record labels to have a few superstars than thousands of mini-stars. A usual person won’t follow and buy from 100 music artists. They’ll buy from 1 to 10 or whatever. Having large fandoms allows you to sell more tertiary things like plush toys and shit like that, it wouldn’t be feasible to do that for thousands of artists.
And in general there’s just too many amazing musicians. People love making music and as such there’s an oversupply. In addition to the above points that’s just capitalist supply and demand in play.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 weeks ago:
Well, it’s not “growing” per se, but we produce fertilizers which are “plant food”, so you could say we grow food for our food even for plants.
- Comment on Does people doing things that upset others also upset you? 4 weeks ago:
Neither sexism nor racism needs to be active hate towards someone. If you just absentmindedly select a white person for s job, you might not even be aware you did it nor do you need to hate the black applicant.
- Comment on How do I use Firefox and block YouTube ads? 1 month ago:
The last time I remember stuff like this happened, it was because of addon conflicts, fresh Firefox with only ublock origin “fixed it” for many people, indicating some other addon was the problem.
