Honestly saying it once was a big political risk. Like usual, Hoekstra can dream on.

I started on lemmy.sdf.org because of the zero blocked/blocked by, and I stayed because it's a cool organisation and the instance community is really happening.

I use the browser frontend, but always over Tor Browser, which I guess is semi-weird.

I mean, it's not like they carry a sign. Some actual mental handicaps can sort of get through the day with some supports. So, maybe you're just not looking hard enough. If you're going IQ you should use <85 or something, too, since <100 is literally half of the population.

On top of that, it's really hard to tell between weird behavior because they're dumb, they're not really paying attention or they're neuroatypical/mentally ill. I have better stories about supposedly intelligent people missing obvious things. (I star in many)

Private health insurance doesn't get involved with doctors or hospital treatments at all where I live. It's more for various outpatient goods, and dentists/eye doctors if you're too rich to qualify for the federal program.

Or they hear about narcissism and think it sounds like a good thing, which is apparently a pretty common reaction.

Very long time as in possibly forever. They just get a bit less nutritious if it's been many years.

Where I live it turns out they're even cheaper if you go to a dollar store instead of a grocery store, and some items are just as good. If anyone wants pantry recipes, I have a bunch by now.

If I could figure out some way to use dandelion roots that would be awesome. They look like they could actually be pretty filling.

Yep, although it'd be pretty surprising if it went like this. OP is straight up worried they're being bad to others, and willing to invite embarrassment by announcing it. (Unless they never really meant it)

Like, amateur over-the-internet diagnosis is worthless, but BPD would fit the almost no information we have better.

You might have mental health issues, but I kind of doubt you have those ones just from the basic context.

I'm going to say no. Try to be nice, let people figure out the rest. And look for some kind of support if possible.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Yeah, something else seems to be going on. A narcissist doesn't consider warning people about themselves.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Lemmy is pretty Western, you might not get great answers here. Or even ones that make basic sense where you are. In my original reply I talked about staying warm, which might not be a problem for you. On the other hand, vehicles are much too expensive to consider as a housing option anywhere developing.

Some stuff is universal, like how debt works if that's a factor.

This needs more details. If you have significant assets and/or debts, it's a legal question about bankruptcies in your jurisdiction.

If you're just watching your bank account slowly tick down it's a very different question. And even there, the advice varies quite a bit by what your current lifestyle is. At one end it might be "stop going out on the town every night and you'll be fine", at the other we're talking about how to stay warm and clean-ish on the streets once you lose your trailer.

And then there's the possibility it's something directly fixable, too, like you just have a ton of credit card debt you could refinance.

 

Don't fucking let "us" touch the courts, Canada.

Not sure how to link the exact episode about a "possible" invasion of Venezuela. If somebody knows I'll edit.

We'll see how it plays out. I'm still not sure they're actually planning to send 200,000 troops, but Trump said they're going to "run it" somehow.

Edit: Moving to invidious.

Bluesky, which uses it, has been opened to federation now, and the standard basically just looks better than ActivityPub. Has anyone heard about a project to make a Lemmy-style "link aggregator" service on it?

 

It's a few months old, but in light of recent events I think it still checks out. Make sure to watch the walkaround!

Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

 

Refactoring gets really bad reviews, but from where I'm sitting as a hobby programmer in relative ignorance it seems like it should be easier, because you could potentially reuse a lot of code. Can someone break it down for me?

I'm thinking of a situation where the code is ugly but still legible here. I completely understand that actual reverse engineering is harder than coding on a blank slate.

 

This is one of those takes that's so controversial I'm afraid to post it, which is exactly why I have to.

I neither endorse nor disavow this, and no, I'm not in the picture.

 

I considered posting this elsewhere, but only Canadians are really going to get why it's funny. Regina being totally self aware about it's (lack of) reputation made it for me.

 

A link to the preprint. I'll do the actual math on how many transitions/second it works out to later and edit.

I've had an eye on this for like a decade, so I'm hyped.

Edit:

So, because of the structure of the crystal the atoms are in, it actually has 5 resonances. These were expected, although a couple other weak ones showed up as well. They give a what I understand to be a projected undisturbed value of 2,020,407,384,335.(2) KHz.

Then a possible redefinition of the second could be "The time taken for 2,020,407,384,335,200 peaks of the radiation produced by the first nuclear isomerism of an unperturbed ^229^Th nucleus to pass a fixed point in space."

 
 

People new to federation are wandering elsewhere. If the logged-in screen is anything like what I see as a guest, I'm not surprised. I found this through my own instance's search feature.
