I can’t speak for the original questioner, but your account is very new. Lemmy is a bit clannish and rightly suspicious of these types of account.
- Comment on how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new? 3 days ago:
You’ve already done it. You noticed the behavior in others. Just keep an eye on yourself and find better ways to respond to changing situations.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Yes. It’s that simple.
It serves the university two ways: they get a consistent source of extra money and degree completion rates seem to increase.

The 70’s were a sexy, sexy decade. Lotsa polyester and great facial hair.
- Comment on Black Mirror’s pessimism porn won’t lead us to a better future | Louis Anslow 1 week ago:
I would like to hear the author’s take on pornography porn.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 weeks ago:
Your own report suggests there is a difference. People aren’t answering your questions. You do not have their attention apparently.
The burden is on you to get your questions answered. Other people have other concerns. Like it or not, you have to do the work of getting these answers. You may need to have a conversation instead of a list of demands.
Perhaps try an email thread instead of a single monolithic email?
Open the thread with a single key question. Listen to their reply. Does your next question still pertain? Then ask it in your reply.
People are not vending machines that contain answers you must shake out of them. A proper relationship, even if just email, is still the best way to achieve your goals.
My two cents as a person who experienced such frustrations early in my career.
- Comment on Simon Pegg Tried To Get Nick Frost Cast As An Iconic Star Trek Character: "I've Pitched It Multiple Times" 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, this is the one. Rainn Wilson was great in that role and Nick Frost would give a very different spin. I think he is softer and would be more charmingly narcissistic. Rainn’s Mudd was more obvious in his commitment to the grift.
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 2 weeks ago:
If you watched it when it was new, you are now old. Therefore by the transitive property, the movie is also old.
- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 3 weeks ago:
This crew also confuses homosexuals with pedophiles, so be careful on Grindr, k?
- Comment on LILYGO's T-Deck Pro Is a LoRa- and 4G-Capable Smartphone-Like All-In-One ePaper Dev System 3 weeks ago:
ESP32 can be extremely power efficient but it is a lot of work to throttle them down and get the various sleep modes working right
- Comment on What could possibly go wrong? DOGE to rapidly rebuild Social Security codebase. 3 weeks ago:
It took the DOT over 20 years to migrate their port of entry truck tracking system from COBOL to Oracle (god help them). That system is much simpler than social security.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Does anyone notice that OP and his personal assistant won’t engage with the well written comments on this post? Only the snarky or non-substantive comments get their attention.
I’m starting to think this question may not be asked in good faith.
Shocked, I tell you, that kind of behavior in this day and age.
- Comment on Short attention span 3 weeks ago:
There is actually some neuroscience behind this one. The act of hand writing activate more areas of the brain than typing the same info.
This is a popular press article covering some of these studies.
- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 4 weeks ago:
The internet is a firehose pumped from the septic tank of the human psyche.
If it is a general feature of enough human minds, it ends up there.
So, be better, I guess?
- Comment on your brain on day 3 of planing a magnetic loop antenna 4 weeks ago:
IYKYK
It’s a very lonely life having the most frenetic genetic tendencies of a terrier, a ferret and a pack rat. But the rush I get when I stumble upon obscure technological treasures? It makes it all worthwhile.
- Comment on Why can’t HVAC be made smarter? 4 weeks ago:
There are experiencing hysteresis!

Did you read the article? This is a ground based system.
- Comment on Is there anything the internet can't do? 1 month ago:
No one spread a butthole before the internet? A bold claim, but I think you own the idea due to lack of prior documentation.

- Comment on Is there anything the internet can't do? 1 month ago:
correct, a complex system of information sharing devices is way too busy for that

Easy access to copious quantities of high production value porn in later generations.
You grow up wanking to clean shaven actors and that’s what you end up wanting in real life.
That’s my theory.
- Comment on Does it make sense to buy a lifetime supply of honey? 1 month ago:
As a kid we had a neighbor that ran a bee-brothel and had hives all over the region. Since his hives would just sit on un-used corners of farmland, he would offer some honey annually as ‘rent’. (He was also generous with his boat so a couple waterskiing trips were also on the table).
We (2 parents, 4 kids) would get a 5 gallon can of honey every other year or so.
That has been over 45 years now and my father is still working through that supply. We put it in sealed mason jars and it has remained good all this time.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 1 month ago:
Minority parties have a great deal of procedural power and with such a narrow minority, even a few defections from the other party can swing a vote.
Politics is theater and it is breathtakingly stupid to just lay down and let them do whatever they want without using the power at their disposal.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 1 month ago:
That is factually untrue. They did not get voted out everywhere and it is somewhat silly to say so.
House: R- 218, D- 215 Senate: R- 53, D- 47
That is what I call a fair fight.
Your position is indefensible.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 1 month ago:
The traditional conservatives are suspiciously quiet right now, so I count them as fully complicit.

It will be me. You have freedom of speech. I am also free to ignore, mock or ostracize you if you spout hateful nonsense near me.
