  • Don't fall into the trap

    Jump

  • If it’s misogynistic to make jokes about stereotypes about women’s verbal abuse tactics, is it misandrist to make jokes about men having small penises? Because I’ve seen plenty of small dick jokes on Lemmy and absolute crickets from you in response to them.

  • What's your kinda-unimpressive 'claim to fame'?

  • I have improved the lives of many people in small ways via my job as a therapist. The best part is that I know this for a fact by seeing the improvement over time. Therapy is, in some respects, about re-parenting people; the damage you help heal is intimate and permanent. You help people grow, literally. Very rewarding, again, in the long run.

  • Does anyone just feels extremely annoyed when other people are playing their videos on loudspeaker?

    Jump

  • Very much, yes. It’s so disrespectful to other people.

  • [UPDATED] [META] Do we need a rule regarding pictures of text, screenshots of other platforms, etc.? Input needed.

  • 1.) No, a meme is not anything that is shared or goes viral. Then anything would be a meme.

    2.) Generally speaking, yes, but I wouldn’t necessarily make it a requirement for the community.

    3.) If it’s just the headline, no.

    4.) Yes, to me, a meme has always been an image + text. An image of text only is not a meme. Text only is not a meme. I would say images of other posts are okay, so long as something is added to it that makes it substantially more than the post itself (so, the post is a part of the meme, but the meme also involves something added by the memer).

    5.) No, not yet. Healthy discussion is always good.

    What is the definition of a meme, again?

    Jump

  • Ah. No, I don’t consider those memes.

  • I don’t consider 67 a meme in and of itself. I don’t know about these challenges you’re referring to.

  • Right now, you’re the problem.

  • To me, a meme requires an image and text. That image could be a gif or a still image, but it needs an image. I do not consider images of plain text to be memes—those are just posts posted in an unnecessarily data-fat way.

  • How do you successfully maintain a calorie deficit over the long run?

    Jump

  • Long-term, sustained weight loss is about lifestyle change. Don’t set a goal and implement dietary and/or exercise changes you have to force yourself to stick to; instead, you have to find a lower-calorie diet and exercise routine that you actually like. Some “dealing with hunger” may be necessary in the beginning if you’re used to frequent eating or large portions, but your body/brain should acclimate to your new diet in a few weeks. If you can, the best eating schedule is actually one with no meals, but around six healthy snacks throughout the day. This is because the frequent eating keeps your metabolism up throughout the day, which burns calories faster. You want to aim for no more than 2,000 calories a day if you’re counting them. I would also recommend taking a multivitamin (most people should be taking one anyway).

  • Who is an artist or public figure you still enjoy despite them being cancelled for bad behaviour?

    Jump

  • I don't think social mores factor into it all for him. When he said he finds the position of trans people genuinely funny, I think he was being honest. I do think he went too far with his jokes about them, simply in terms of sheer number; it was a social faux pas that strained the credulity of his stated position, but I personally believe him when he says he just finds the whole situation very funny.

    I think he doesn't care what other people think of his comedy at this point, and I don't really have an opinion on that. I suppose I sort of respect it, but I also think he's definitely passed into the realm of bad taste at this point. I don't think he means anything bad by it though. Maybe he is insensitive, but comedians aren't known for their sensitivity. I understand the criticism against him for it and think it's valid.

    I'm not defending the offensiveness of his jokes, just stating that I think they're just jokes to him, and he doesn't actually mean them in a mean-spirited light. If I were to talk to him about it, I would probably ask him how he feels about White comedians that make jokes about Black people, who also claim they're not advocating anti-Black views, and just find the humor in their situations. I imagine he might reveal himself to be quite the hypocrite under that line of questioning. Most of us are hypocrites.

  • Do any of you actually know someone who legitimately believes there's an actual "War on Christmas?"

    Jump

  • You have to remember, a lot of American Christians are descended from European Christians who were so extreme and weird that no one wanted them around, so they fled to the Americas to escape “persecution.” So, these Christian persecution complexes go way back. They’re a part of our history. Well, not all of ours, but some.

  • I don’t think he’s actually anti-trans, he just likes making jokes about them and refused to be cowed by people telling him to stop. Just my sense of it though.

  • What was the best Christmas you've ever had?

  • The Christmas morning I got my SNES, and spent a very bright, snowy day playing Super Mario World for hours upon hours.

  • What do you mean by “marriage benefits?” Are talking about strictly legal issues or just the general benefits of being married? Because people can get pretty much all of the general, non-legal benefits of marriage just by being in a close, long-term, living-together relationship.

    Most of the men I’ve heard talking about how marriage isn’t worth it are referring to the potential of divorce and the financial fallout they’re likely to experience if that happens. It depends on where you live, but a lot of divorce laws are still pretty old and force breadwinners to largely finance their divorcee’s lifestyles after separation. I can understand why some men would feel that marriage is thus a “bad deal” in that respect.

    Anyone have any crazy stories to share from Mental Health facilities?

    Jump

  • This happened while I was volunteering on an inpatient ward before going to graduate school. They had just admitted this guy in a manic state, and had apparently convinced him to accept the admission by telling him the ward was “like a Best Western motel.” Every Thursday, we had a ward meeting, which includes everyone on the ward—staff and patients alike. Well, this guy had just been admitted the night before and proceeds to absolutely dominate the entire meeting, because he’d made a very long mental list of all the specific ways in which the ward was not like a Best Western. He eventually had to be escorted out of the meeting because he wouldn’t let anyone else speak.

    I couldn’t laugh at the time, but it was hysterical.
