What is something you believed was normal or true as a kid, but later found out it was not? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

That anyone who was atypical was a freak of nature

As a queer Canadian from rural Nova Scotia, I always felt at home in a curling club in c/canada@lemmy.ca

There was a curling team at the Seattle pride parade yesterday. Now it makes sense :D

Has anyone else always been the "crazy one" for their whole life? How have you been able to deal with this? Both mentally and your actions in the real world. in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Knowing you are different (i.e. "atypical") is the first step to resolving it. Perhaps you do react more strongly than others. If you are open to learning, practice, and change, you can work towards being better (and being happier).

When your emotions react strongly, do not do the thing your body wants to do. Stop, walk away from the situation, and allow your emotions to settle. Don't dwell on it and reignite your emotions. Then, take some time to answer:

  • Who/What made you react?
  • Why did you react?
  • How could it have been prevented?

Finally, consider this: If your answer was "They did this" or "They caused me to act out", imagine what you would answer if the roles were switched.

Emotions cloud our judgements. It is important to NOT react on them, and instead reflect on them when we have returned to a neutral state.

Bro your title is misleading.

Indian man upset that the government is forcing him to buy a new car

Your title makes the man sound like he's complaining about his wife

Ok, as pictured it wouldn't work, however, if the drill ends rotated independently, the fork was fixed to the drill, and the rotation of the motor rotated both drill bits via a tiny joint inside the fork, this would be pretty neat

How do I get rid of my verbal humilation and degradation kink in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Double down and explore it, I say. Maybe you find out bdsm is your thing. We can't choose our kinks.

I have a unique job. I do maintenance on the new plastic covers of gas meters.

In the US, your gas meter now has a plastic cover that sends a reading of your meter to the utility. (Its literally reading the analog output of your meter's dial. Before, someone had to come out and read it manually. You can still opt-in to that, but pay a higher premium). They are battery powered. I replace the batteries.

So, not a typical trade job.

YSK: Here's a list of browser extensions to un-shittify Youtube (sopuli.xyz)
 

Why YSK: Youtube's enshittification creates an abysmal experience. There's a list of Chrome extensions I've collected over the years that each fix an aspect of Youtube to bring back a genuine experience. I've seen in comments people mention one or two of these at a time, so this is a pack that contains everything you could need, and more.

Sample:

Essential Plugins:

  • Ghostery: Blocks trackers and ads
  • uBlock Origin: Blocks In-video ads
  • SponsorBlock: Skips in-video sponsor segments
  • Return Youtube Dislike: Returns the dislike button
  • DeArrow: Better titles and thumbnails, removes clickbait
  • Youtube Redux: Returns youtube to the older style
  • Style Bot: This tool allows you to edit CSS. With a bit of setup, you can use it to block sponsored videos from appearing in our video suggestions:
  1. Open Stylebot options
  2. Styles > New Style

URL: Youtube.com

CSS (copy and paste):

ytd-ad-slot-renderer,
ytd-rich-item-renderer:has(
  > #content
    > ytd-ad-slot-renderer
){
  display: none;
}
  1. Save Style and Refresh Youtube

Optional:

We cannot fathom operating 2 separate bodies because 1 body is overwhelming as it is. (sopuli.xyz)
 

We operate our body with a single processor, the brain. Our organs are also managed by the brain. The brain is highly optimized to operate each of our organs, control motor functions, and allow us to think.

1 brain cannot control 2 bodies, there's simply too much going on. Likewise, 2 full brains cannot control the same body, they would fight for resources. Organs keep the brain alive, the brain keeps organs alive. It's a 1:1 ratio, sometimes less than 1, but never double (some have been born with extra controllable appendages but it's few and far between).

Therefore, only a higher, more generalized, processor could handle operating 2 or more distinct beings.

If only our cells could talk.

Random Crashes (sopuli.xyz)
 

Is it kinda just common for games to crash to "desktop" on Deck? Had mine about 2 weeks, no matter if it's big, small, or dolphin emulated, games will randomly crash on me, and the Deck restarts itself.

If there's any known general settings that can stop the crashing, that'd be great.
