I went cold turkey when the whole API pricing change thing went down.

If you haven’t been successful in quitting (cold turkey or otherwise) Reddit, I’d say do some introspection on the topic of what keeps you coming back to Reddit. What specifically do you find yourself thinking about when you’re wanting to open Reddit?

Once you have an answer to that question, maybe think about just how beneficial it is to you. If it’s beneficial, maybe try to make something similar a thing on Lemmy. If it’s less beneficial and more just addictive gamification that you don’t actually value, practice some mindfulness around it. When you feel yourself desiring to go consume some Reddit, just observe that desire nonjudgementally until it goes away.

I didn’t mean to imply her mind was or wasn’t changed. I meant that if it was, I’m unwilling to condemn her. If I knew it wasn’t I might be willing to condemn her. Not knowing whether she changed her mind after, I wouldn’t be willing to condemn her without equivocation.

If this experience didn’t change the patient’s mind about identifying as and voting “pro-life”, I might agree with you.

It’s likely her doctor told her she needed a DNC or something (without using the word “abortion”) and the patient didn’t realize the state laws would consider that an (gasp) “abortion” until the doctor told her so.

We may well be talking about someone who received inadequate sexual/reproductive education. Typically the only sex-ed the pulpit provides is “pro-life” propaganda.

We’re all going to go extinct. Given the current state of the world, maybe it’s for the best.

Perhaps when the next time a sentient species evolves on Earth and takes over the whole damned planet and builds societies and technology, they’re not so psychotic as we are.

Oh jeez. I forgot about that. I had that running on my DS back in the day from a GBA flashcart with a big-ass CompactFlash card sticking out the bottom. Good times.

For those squares at the bottom to qualify as squares, they’d have to be… you know… squares.

You don’t put a chess board on a round table and say the area around the board is another “square” do you?

Incidentally, that’s why square tables are banned at the highest levels of play.

I imagine there was a time when this wasn’t obscure, but I’m guessing people today don’t remember Caldera OpenLinux. That was the first Linux distro I installed/used. A guy from church gave his copy.

Caldera eventually became SCO. But I’m pretty sure I was using Caldera OpenLinux before the whole Novell patent suit thing.

Short version: cable is more optimized for sending everyone the same content at the same time. (And all users connected to cable get all channels all the time, even if they’re only watching one or two at the time.) Internet is made for each user getting what they ask for when they ask for it.

Either technology can be used for either use case, but they were originally built for different purposes and so are optimized differently.

Just like a subway train would make a pretty crappy private one-person vehicle for commuting to work and the grocery store. As would a fleet of cars be crappy for public mass transit.

Nope. Lots of stuff commonly believed by Christians isn’t from the Bible. (Though sometimes they’ll do a lot of mental gymnastics to assert that what they believe is from “the only reasonable interpretation” of the Bible.)

Just a few other things commonly believed by Christians not (or at least only dubiously) from the Bible:

• The seven deadly sins
• The nine circles of hell
• The seven levels of heaven
• Transubstantiation
• The trinity

What icon pack? (Is this post supposed to be a link?)

Edit: Ah. Now there’s an image.

I’ve seen this happen with coworkers of mine. Folks who never did any work. And slipped under the radar for many years. at least two (and one other to a lesser extent) come to mind.

Hammer’s jumping to conclusions. That’s clearly a self-tapping screw.

Oh shit. Don’t scare me like that. I’m in the middle of a show on Freevee through Prime Video. I was afraid it was going to become unavailable.

(Hell on wheels. Really good. 10/10 would recommend.)

Is there supposed to be a link?

You’re thinking of EMACS.

(Just a joke. I’m kidding people. It’s funny. Ha ha. For real.)

A vegan hot dog.

The parenthetical explaining exactly what a “mustard sandwich” is was completely unnecessary.
