From a logical standpoint, I think sticking to fundamentals and, like Cowbee says, letting common sense do some legwork is a good approach.

There are so many learned misconceptions whether through propaganda or simple ignorance. I really think the best way to combat it is by explaining them away one by one, building from fundamental concepts on up.

Like the other day I realized a lot of people think communism or a social economic structure means everyone "makes" the same amount, regardless of labor. I thought this at one point. Conveying the correct concepts may seem straightforward from a socialist understanding, but there can be so much more to clear up along the way for a person that has never thought into it at any level.

Again, as Cowbee points out, the sensible analysis will show through, and I think it's finding a good approach to conveying that analysis that is so hard. As with teaching anything, a good grasp of the person's worldview/values/beliefs is key to walking through that analysis in an effective way for them to digest. The secondary issue is having a good enough grasp on it yourself to connect the dots that you might find intuitive or take for granted, which someone else does not.

I'm kind of obsessed with the "theory of understanding", for lack of a better term, so I hope I didn't ramble too much. Thinking about thinking is fun lol.

I'm still on bemenu since I used dmenu with dwm on X. I should probably check the others out.

This, logseq, and PKM in general for me. I guess it's not really "can't live without" because I hardly know where to start, but the possibilities for organizing my mess of a brain are enticing.

It would probably help to have a project to work on and actually use the things rather than diving too deep into PKM conceptually... Really wish I knew about them in school, though.

Midi chlorines is my favorite chiptunes album

Fair enough, but that is OP, my friend

Could take a subset and do ICANN lookups. Not sure about doing that at scale though.

It's also important to note that a lot of that scarcity is artificial. Sure, we're far from post scarcity, but strife is exacerbated by capitalist systems in all but the most privileged.

I know covid messed a lot of us up, but I've got some troubling news for you regarding the passage of time...

In the past I don't think it was possible to even play on Linux because of the anti-cheat, but I think Proton worked out a way to emulate it. Maybe something to do with that if it's not technically "official" support? It's extra stupid if the emulated anti-cheat is working fine.

I love how all the comments have caveats. Maybe that's just the Lemmy demographic.

I've got a weird relationship with anime. Never really watched it as a kid, except for pokemon.

Two of my best friends were weebs in high school, so I got into some there, went to some cons with them after graduation. I'd binge with college friends pretty regularly, but it's never really been something I seek out on my own for some reason. I guess I'm a social watcher.

My taste is odd for it, too. It's mostly about gems in the rough and based on vibes. A lot just doesn't hit, and I can't always tell why some things do.

Don't know why you got so many down votes, other than being tangential.

But I would guess it's because of -ol drug name familiarity like Tylenol/paracetamol and maybe some regional vowel differences. I kind of tend to say fentan-ul or fentan-le.
