  • Another thing that might be a bit different from reddit, is that lots of folks here recommend using the Block options for users / communities. Lemmy is a smaller place, so if a particular user keeps posting stuff that isn't what you want to see in a community it can really ruin the experience. It's totally okay to just block people, and is the generally recommended way of dealing with trolls.

    Federation, multiple instances, among other things, means that lemmy as whole is less strictly governed by mods than reddit. That's good in many ways, but it does mean that we users have to take some responsibility to create the lemmy we want, and that sometimes means blocking people.

  • Idioms and synthesis

    Jump

  • I'm a native, and I'd agree. But it's a funny post so, I'll ignore that.

  • Do you prefer cut or uncut?

    Jump

  • Uncut in general. But it can go a bit insane, with a few giant weeds that start turning into bracken. What works for us (but ymmv obvs) is having some dwarf goats or sheep. We move them around the property and they nibble the grass and weeds but don't make it a miserable mowed lawn. It looks like a lovely meadow. And they're surprisingly affectionate and relatively low maintence.

  • The Futurama Episode That Hit Even Harder Than Jurassic Bark S3E4

    Jump

  • I love fuuturama, and might even agree with op's point. But this is very far from a meme.

    In some countries fathers are ok with their daughters being whores since they think it's their human right or something. Why is that?

    Jump

  • Yup, and this is the third dumb ass post from this user I've seen. Blocked.

  • I don't understand what I just read, but I get the feeling that's a good thing.

  • SMBC - "Bean"

  • I think it's just exhaustion, but I laughed so hard at this that my partner had to come through from the other room to see what was wrong.

    How to become who you truly are?

    Jump

  • As others have said, i don't think there's a single 'real' you behind some mask. But I do think that that being around some people or in some situations requires a lot of conscious effort to make things work. And on the other side, there are people who make us feel safe, or bring the best out of us, or just inspire us to have fun.

    When I'm around good friends and loved ones, i experience being free, liberated and my best and happiest self. But with everyone I'm still filtering, adapting and finding common ground with them. There's stuff I'll talk about with one friend that I wouldn't mention to another. There's jokes I might make in one place but not in another. But I don't feel I'm masking, it just isn't possible to be everything all the time.

  • I guess I'm just an idiot. Sorry for wasting your time. Don't be mad, I'll be good next time.

    Appears in the same community for me, 28 posts down (sorted by new). Maybe they're from different instances and my reader composites the into one? I don't really understand how lemmy federation works for stuff like that.

    Do you think my ban from x is valid?

  • Yup, blocked.

    You're Right!

    Jump

  • Wasn't this posted 4 days ago in the same community? It's a great strip (the first in a while where I've actually laughed aloud), but that's quite a short interval.

  • How do I put on weight without feeling terrible?

    Jump

  • If you're just under your calorie target, you can add high calorie snacks or toppings to gain weight. Do you like nuts and seeds? Avacados? Olive oil? Cheese?

    You can buy or make lots of nice high fat nut snacks, roast them with your favourite spices if you like flavour or just a little salt if you prefer blander stuff. Snack on them throughout the day, and schedule times to have a portion of you're not naturally a snacker. Sprinkle them over salads or rice bowls or whatever.

    Dip nice bread in olive oil and vinegar (with some zatar or other spice mixes if your like). Shallow fry things in olive oil - take slices of nutrious but calorie light vegetables, dip in a simple tempura batter of cornflour and water, then fry in olive oil. Crispy, fresh, delicious and lots of calories.

    So you eat desert? Start having nice fruit with heavy cream poured over the top. Use cream in sauces or add to mashed potatoes, vegetable gratins, etc.

  • And they have actually removed some of them. The ê in forêt indicates it used to be spelled forest but that was so long ago that they're willing to admit it's not necessary. Unlike the k in knife, what would we do without that!

  • Nah it's not. You think that, but you're wrong actually. Don't bother checking, it'll just make you feel even stupider.

  • What are the most unhelpful pieces of advice?

    Jump

  • All advice is good advice in a certain situation. "Trust your gut"/"be skeptical", "be careful"/"go for it!" all of these can be good or terrible advice for different people at different times.

    The problem with "just do it" is it's often literally the first thing that everyone tries. If I want to do my homework or cook a healthy meal, it'd be pretty weird if I started off by trying to not do it. So, often when it's given as advice it feels very insulting, because it feels like your being literally told "have you considered doing the thing your trying to do?"

    It can be shorthand for much better advice - "don't think about the consequences or costs, just focus on this moment and the first step you need to take" or whatever, but when delivered to someone who is literally struggling to do something it often adds nothing. "be careful" is good advice if someone's carelessly approaching a dangerous, delicate task, but is shitty, vacuous advice if someone is already being very careful. So telling someone to "just do it" suggests you think that they weren't previously attempting to do it, and that can give offense.

  • I don't really either. Mickey mouse is now PD, and I assume the other guy (no idea who he is) is too? And daffy duck, someone else and James bond will also become PD soon. Mickey with gloves is still copyrighted, so he can't wear the gloves.
