I actually got a spam call from myself once. They spoofed my own number. Got a bunch of followup calls, voicemails, and texts for a month or so after that.

I personally have enough boxes that I have one or two in each room for my cats and still have a box like that for recycling some weeks.

Probably best not to judge people off a single photo and a potentially fake caption, y’know?

Your tl;dr is the “I only skimmed the article” take. The full takeaway is you’re fine if it’s just on your end. If you’re sharing (and this includes screenshots), then do not mod things you either have to buy or obtain in-game, and definitely do not share nude mods. Think about how it reflects on the game as a whole before you do it.

It takes a lot to realize that and exercise that restraint. You’re a good egg. With that being said, a paintball gun would have a low chance of self-harm, but they make coyote urine balls that smell terrible on impact. Just saying.

I deleted my LinkedIn almost a decade ago and am doing just fine. Really don’t think it matters as much as people think.

NYC is in the southern end of the year-round range for them, so it should be ok if it was in the area already.

Keep in mind, Lemmy’s big enough to have malicious actors on it.

It’s the nazi in the bar story. Gotta call them out and shut them down early, or else they take over the place like they do on reddit.

Nah, that election was rigged. Try again, Nazi.

As opposed to republicans that elected a 34 count felon, court-certified rapist, pedophile president? Party of law and order, am I right? Be glad that it’s shitty, overpriced EVs they’re targeting.

First thing, admitting that you have a problem is the hardest step to take, so you’re already doing better than when I was in college suffering from burnout. 15 years later and I’m finally wrapping up my degree.

I’d figure out the sleep problems first medically if it were me. That one’s going to fuck you over even after college. Talk to a doctor and make sure everything’s good there. If that’s an isolated issue, then you need to tackle the self-discipline issue. I’d see how you feel after the sleep issue is fixed as to whether you need more medical help or not. Everything else could be exacerbated by the lack of a consistent sleep schedule.

You’ll want to be open with your parents and in the meantime ask for their assistance keeping you straight. Turns out, you can’t independently manage your life right now, so apologize to them and ask for them to help you get out of bed and going in the morning while you get yourself back on track.

This is setting up for the “plandemic” talk I’ve been overhearing from the crazy side of my family. Now there’s an “other” to point a finger at when Trump’s bad decisions allow another unchecked pandemic to happen on his watch.

It’s an extremely powerful pattern recognition tool. There are uses for that, but your right that people are going the “if you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail” route.

Yeah, here you go.

Didn’t one ai have a lot of false positives because it would say any picture of skin with a ruler in it was cancer? The moment it saw a ruler it responded with cancer because all the data it was fed about confirmed cancers had rulers in them.

It’s not even that. The petri dish could sustain the advancement until we could pivot to cleaner/safer things. We just chose not to pivot. The filter (for humans, anyway) is selfishness and greed.

I’m only in my mid 30s, but for me, I’ve never once had peace find me unless I’m neglecting something, but I’ve found it plenty of times in different ways. Mostly through various creative hobbies, but for me I’m at peace when I’m creating something. If there’s anything that gave you a spark of “huh, interesting” give it a try. Could be a creative hobby, could just be reading or watching cheesy b-movies. The point is to give you something to do to trigger the good brain chemicals.

I’d highly recommend a therapist if you aren’t seeing one already. As regularly as you can, since they can help you offload and work through your feelings and thoughts to keep you pointed at the path. Find a practice that isn’t licensed to prescribe medication if you’re worried about getting put on another med, and don’t be afraid to shop around. Like a partner, it can take a few tries to find the right therapist.

As a single person you’d be pretty good for the rest of your (still probably short) life. But honestly, I think ascribing button pushing to some of these people is a stretch. They know the particular buttons to open their social media, or maybe even access their banking, but any mention of settings and you get a blank look. I see that with every generation now, working in IT. It used to just be the boomers, but tech knowledge seems to have degraded over the years.

I agree with you. A majority of the mass shootings (all shootings, really) would disappear overnight if we increased financial security and had free healthcare. Couple it with a cultural push for mental health awareness and care and you wouldn’t need too many gun laws on the books.

Man, moving the goalposts from CIG to the subreddit? Talk about bad faith. Nah, don’t have the time and crayons for a refunder. Enjoy your hate-filled existence lol
