I like city building games and puzzles. I like other things as well, but that's not important right now.

  • What motivates social media trolls, or trolls in general?

    Jump

  • If you get it done to you, you want to get someone back. That is true for the first few times it happens. Later if it happens to you - espwcially if its in a more serious or dsngerous context - it tends to actually make you empathise more and feel discouraged from engaging in that behaviour.

    Spending time on a space like modern twitter or 4chan can make you pick up their habits, and also desensitise you to their way of doing things.

  • i thought bears went crazy at any other bear they encounter in the wild so this is very surprising

  • I've been completely isolated from the internet and news for the last two months. What'd I miss?

  • In Minnesota, ICE murdered a white woman who was a citizen and bystander (not protestor) and who was just trying to obey ICE’s instruction to leave. This has caused not only massive protests but also relatively strong condemnation of ICE by the state government, bringing the US even closer to civil war.

    I can't believe i forgot that one. Biggest story IMO, has been on my mind ever since i read about it

    • Donald Trump has been exposed as an Epstein pedo
    • this happened because the government didn't redact properly on the files. Accidental or on purpose, who knows.
    • UK boxer Anthony Joshua almost died in a car accident in Nigeria. 2 people with him died.

    Social media news that I know of

    • Elon Musk's "grok" AI makes CSAM now. There really isn't much more nuance to it than that. It has the ability to make underwear deepfakes of anyone you ask it to.
    • Despite knowing this, he hasn't shut it down, and just seems to find it funny
    • the UK government is discussing banning X in the country because of this.

    Global events

    • Donald Trump took over Venezuela? He kidnapped Maduro, who is now sitting trial in New York.
    • He wants to have Greenland now. Has discussed bribing them into joining the USA.
    • Iran seems to be having a revolution. Might have beeb incited, in part, by American and Israeli operatives.
    • and in Israel Palestine news:
      Israel has been using drones that play sounds of women screaming and flying them over refugee camps in Gaza and Palestine. Just to psychologically torture survivors.

    This has made me realise how little news I actually pay attention to

  • Why did you decide to join Lemmy?

    Jump

  • You could get banned from mainstream subs (white people twitter, for instance) if you interacted - not just followed, but simply interacted - with a sub they didn't like.

    This is bad because for the admins it counts towards justification for a PermaBan. They don't take into account what you were ever banned for just how many you accrued.

  • Why did you decide to join Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Irreversible PermaBan with no explanation. And I always disliked the prevailing culture there.

    is it embarrassing to graduate college at 24?

    Jump

  • No mate give it a rest and don't worry about it. People aren't going to know when you started college unless they're looking at your CV or you explicitly tell them, and even then they have no idea what you went through. Could have been working in between years or taking time off for health, it's not really their business.

    I myself will be graduating at 24 unless I switch to a quicker program. It feels a bit awkward but only when I look at it through the lens of hateful people who neg all the time.

    Far more people graduate outside of the expected range of 21-25 YO than you realise -

    • anyone who worked right after highschool but didn't like it,
    • anyone sitting a second degree or a conversion degree,
    • anyone who served in the army before enrolling.

    ...but you might not encounter them all that often.

    (If you're on a prestigious course you're going to be with a very young cohort who came straight from high school to university, but throughout the countless other courses in the country there will be 25-50 year olds sitting down for their first lectures in the subject. Most of them will elect to study remotely, e.g online or lecture recordings, so you're doubly less likely to encounter them)

    University was not created to be an age-bound thing like school. We lose sight of that now that it's been clipped on as a near-mandatory last stretch of the educational conveyer belt.

  • When/how frequently do you replace your phone with a new one?

    Jump

  • Best of times a phone hast lasted about 4 years

    MERA has me lmaoing though

  • People who identify as male/masculine, do you feel comfortable expressing your emotions/feelings to people irl? Do people who identify as female/feminine feel more comfortable espressing feelings?

    Jump

  • Sometimes people act like they're helping but it means they just bring up your problem again and again and confuse you as to what you really want to do about it. This could absolutely be done on accident, in an eagerness to help, but i also see it done deliberatrly by a few, just to pester people

  • People who identify as male/masculine, do you feel comfortable expressing your emotions/feelings to people irl? Do people who identify as female/feminine feel more comfortable espressing feelings?

    Jump

  • Men and women lie when they say they want you to express yourself more. Whether they intend to or not, they get angry or sad about you burdening them with knowledge of your own experiences. Many will atore away anything you confide with them, so they can use it against you further down the line.

  • What should I do if my violent brother is threatening to kill my parents (who I financially depend on and live with) and they aren't taking it seriously?

    Jump

  • I think you need to move out, as hard as that might be. Even if you need to put stuff like your educatiom on hold you should get away from them all for good

  • Oh I am SO happy you have an actual monogamy league table here

  • People of Lemmy: would you date a single parent?

    Jump

  • Yes - dating is ultimately just "do i match with this person, like them, and can we get along together enough." but the odds of me dating them diminish when increasing the amount of kids they have and increasing how messy their ex's involvement is.

    Edited-To-Add: coupling yourself to a romantic partner is also coupling yourself to their friends and family, but while you can choose not to see your in-laws every christmas or hang out with your wife's girlfriends, you can't reduce contact with a S.O's live-in children or crazy exes (assuming the ex has shared custody)

  • Does anyone know how to completely remove NSFW content from Mastodon feeds so that there aren't even blurred images?

    Jump

  • Nah, it's not. Because Mastodon is just one segment of the internet rather than "the whole forest" so we can in fact implement nsfw filters or similar.
