I'm so tired of seeing people ask things like this. Is there no number of things I can block to be able to scroll through a feed and learn a few interesting things, see some fun questions and remember what it's like to not associate people talking with existential dread?
Fine, you want solutions, destroy capitalism. Organize locally, find insitustions in your community you like and take care of them. Build communal bonds that help fight the atmosphere of divisive fear, and allow people to effectively work together towards shared goals that are counter to that of oligarchs.
Yeah, the constant news coverage is why I have blocked every news community on here, and still the villain pursues me.
Philosophically, I think the pursuit of truth and the exercise of compassion are worthwhile endeavors.
But when that's too abstract, I remind myself that I have people who rely on me and benefit from my presence in their life. I work to make the world around me better than it was before, so that others can immediately, and in the future, can have better lives.
You seem to be handling this in a really caustic way. Maybe take some time to self-reflect and come back in two weeks? You may be able to get unbanned if you chill a bit.
I'm using Obsidian. The minimal size makes syncing faster, and I enjoy the mobile interface.
Depends on how detailed the advice can be. Probably to find my current partner as soon as possible, so we could help each other.
The tagline doesn't make it clear that the community is pro-AI, just that they talk about Generative AI. There's lots of room there for critical discussion.
???? being anti-ai is liberal now?
Beehaw actually does remove down voting, so that you are forced to actually find things you agree with and upvote them to curate.
This article fails to address one of the main causes I see people list for not having kids. It's, "Is it okay for me to bring a kid into a world this fucked up?"
A lot of young people are deeply certain that they're going to have to live through an ecological collapse and climate disasters. Why would they want to have a child, and be constantly faced with the fact that their kid is going to have a worse life than them. That their grandkids may not know what seasons were like?
It's also so ridiculously expensive now. It's not worth it.
Lay down for a minute, close your eyes and just let your brain babble about shit for a bit. Then, pick one at random and try to start it. Maybe try to find something engaging to think about, because then you'll be more comfortable with doing stuff.
I'm also using Syncthing to sync up my notes between my laptop and phone. It's been great! Less Google doc use.
Since I'm a little embarrassed by the mistake, what do you look for in an incremental game? I can look through the ones I've played for Android and see if any could work?
Oh, right, so I was so excited to mention it I forgot it's not a mobile game >.<
It's on steam, but yeah, my bad.
This is really neat. I'm so glad Ironsworn was made, there's been a lot of neat stuff to come out of it's sphere.
Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed getting to play Magic again thanks to Forge, and Anuto is a really solid tower defense.
Hey, it's a paid game (non-freemium) but you could try Orb of Creation. I think there's a free demo on itch. One of the most fascinating incremental games I've played. I actually played all the way up to the current content's end.
Eagerly awaiting updates.
I'm starting to set up the groundwork to do freelance work. Not sure how well I'll do, but it's a strong step towards a happier me.
There's this app on F-Droid called WikWok. It basically presents you with random wikipedia articles in a kind of feed like with TikTok.
If I were you, I'd download it and scroll until something that you find interesting appears and then read a bit of it. Then ask yourself a question.
This usually gets me up and pacing, and once I'm pacing I want to fidget with stuff so I go do chores.
May not work for you, but that's what I got.
Should piracy be legal?
Well, what are the moral concerns of piracy?
The primary ones are purely the product of how our economic system is structured. If people didn't need to make money to live, then the ability to mass duplicate artistic works would be a purely positive thing to me. I think art has inherent worth, and that people should engage with it.
There's nothing inherently immoral about piracy, only the external factors imposed by capitalism cause it to be problematic.
