What should I buy for my older sister who really needs a hug these days? She works in STEM, loves sports, and is really into gothic lolita in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Talk to her, dont bring up any history.

What do you think shapes someone’s views on monogamy and non-monogamy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Well said. I think all your points are valid and forward-thinking. I believe a monogamous non-married relationship fits me best with similar expectations:

  • We may grow apart at some point (and shouldn't force it to work)
  • We may find someone who suits us better (it sucks, but we're humans seeking a better tomorrow)
  • We dont own each other, or owe our lives (we are individuals with our own needs)

Why a polycule doesn't work for me:

  • Jealousy and other relationship drama that I dont want to deal with
  • My attention is divided among several people, my work, hobbies, etc. It sounds overwhelming.
  • There's not enough time to remember everything about everyone, and that feels like a more superficial relationship.

I met someone recently and discovered we have sexual compatibility, but not romantic. Hypothetically, I can see how having another person involved could fill that romantic need. Maybe one day.

Do you ever feel like a lot of conflict and controversy could be avoided if everyone was more clear about what they mean? in c/autism@lemmy.world

As a ND, things I say (feedback usually) come off as condescending, but thats not the tone I meant for, so I have to explain what I was really going for, as to make sure that things are clear.

It's a workout to have to reflect on my own words and self correct after. Would be great if people understood the meaning without the perceived emotion behind it.

I try to live by the words "Hear what someone is saying, not how they are saying it." Helps clear things up before processing. Then if information is missing, ask more questions.

  • Minecraft (It's a sandbox)
  • Garry's Mod (It's a sandbox)
  • Roblox (It's a sandbox)
  • Skyrim (It's a heavily mod-able medieval RPG)
  • Portal 2 (It's literally anything at this point: a web server, a game engine, a fucking computer, a lot is possible when the right people crack it open)

I had a dream this morning that I got a job working concessions at a movie theatre. Every time a customer came in to get a soda, an obnoxious alarm would go off. I reached a point I couldn't handle it, I told the manager "I'll finish out today, but Im sorry, the alarm those cups are making is too annoying." The manager said "I'll let you head out now, but that's your own alarm."

It was my morning alarm.

My mother told me, someday, I will buy galleys with good oars, sail to distant shores. Stand up on the prow, noble barque I steer. Steady course to the haven, hew many foe-men. Hew many foe-men.

Our first look at the Steam Machine, Valve’s ambitious new game console in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

And much like the Steam Deck, allows more freedom than just playing games. It enables use of the computer itself unlike consoles of the past. You buy an Xbox or a PS, and youre restricted on its use.

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.
