  • Does something like this exist?

    No, I don't think so...

    However, what you're describing kind of sounds like a polycentric identity. Maybe check that out. Also, I believe ActivityPods aim to handle a little of what you're describing, but I don't know how much adoption it's had.

  • In Portuguese, I'd call what you have there in the image (looks great, by the way) "crepes."

    The thicker American pancakes are called "panquecas."

  • I often preface questions and exclamations with a couple question marks/exclamation points to help clarify! Very useful.

  • People who use lemmys hide feature, what's the post you can't bring yourself to hide?

  • Well, sometimes you know something is bad for you, but you still engage with it. For example, you know drinking high sugar content soft drinks isn't the best, but you still do it. Fast food, drugs, et cetera.

    "What's a post on Lemmy that, even though you know you could hide --- even though you know you should hide ---, you don't? You just can't bring yourself to do it!"

    Now, mind you, I'm not sure what situation there could be, what kind of fantastical, mythical post this might be that would warrant such a reaction... I can imagine porn could be it, as you mentioned. Maybe a drama post with lots of toxic interactions. I don't know.

  • Right, and who do you think would have time to read about the fucking vote? Who do you think would have the means to learn about the complex aspects that relate to it? Who do you think would have the knowledge to even understand it to begin with? Time, means, effort. Who do you think would have the time, the means, and the foresight to learn to answer the damn questions?

    You are blind. The world we live in, the societies we live in, they are not fair. If you put a test, the rich, powerful, and those with access to superior education WILL be over-represented because they have power and education, they WILL vote everyone else out, they WILL control everything. You are NOT testing merit, you are testing ease of access to information, you are testing power, you are testing capital.

  • That's not a meritocracy. That just benefits those that already have power and access to good education.

  • What are the most unhelpful pieces of advice?

    Jump

  • Hahaha~

    It has a wide breadth of applications, but it is indeed relatively shallow when it comes to guidance... It's best used when the advisee already has some idea of what to do and is struggling with something else.

  • THANK YOU!!!!! I replied to someone that replied to my comment trying to explain exactly that...

  • I mean, sure, but isn't that literally everything? Hugging someone is nice unless they don't want to hug. Telling someone “don’t think about the consequences or costs, just focus on this moment and the first step you need to take” is good advice unless they need to focus on the consequences or costs, or they aren't taking the first step, or... or... or... ad eternum.

    If your argument is that "just do it" is bad advice, then I flatly disagree. However, that doesn't seem to be the case; rather, it seems you're saying that "just do it" is advice that should be administered carefully and properly. While a fair assessment, that is also completely counter-productive as a point of discussion because I already said "just do it"'s efficacy is dependent on circumstance while describing a specific situation wherein it could be rightfully applied!!!!! DAMN IT!!

    Well, one thing actually:

    The problem with “just do it” is it’s often literally the first thing that everyone tries.

    Is it? It very much isn't for me, for example. I usually think about what I'm going to do before I do it --- I think a lot... ---, and it's not uncommon that I get in my head about this and that, when I should just do it. For people like me, and I know I'm not alone in this, "just do it" is a great piece of advice that I should listen to way more than I usually do. No, it's not perfect; Yes, it can fall flat. Still, it's useful.

    it’d be pretty weird if I started off by trying to not do it.

    Yes, but would it be that weird to be stuck in a loop of self-doubt while wanting to do it, which keeps you from actually doing it?

    In the spirit of "just do it," and at risk to my goal of being a positive presence online, I'd like to point out that you used "your" several times when you should've used "you're." Now, I know you probably don't care and are thinking that it's a little rude that I'm pointing it out, but just in case you do care, I'd forward you here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/your-vs-youre-how-to-use-them-correctly

    I mean no offense. I'm not perfect and I like when people point out the small things I could improve so... There.

  • IDK, I think "just do it" is actually pretty reasonable advice, for the most part.

    Obviously, it depends --- everything depends --- but I feel like it applies to many aspects of life.

    Sometimes you're scared or anxious about something needlessly, and it really is best to just go for it and figure it out later, no matter how much your brain tells you it's terrible and not worth it.
