I feel the same way about all the generic instagram influencer accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers. Selfies, holiday pictures, photos of food/jewellery/clothing/accessories etc. You could basically merge all these accounts into one as the content is the same. I genuinely don’t understand why they got so many followers and what the reasoning is behind the decision to follow such accounts.

Or buy ice

Wouldn’t be too difficult to jerryrig a system which does that but because it’s going to be a huge waste of water I feel morally obligated to not even give you any ideas. Invest in a split AC system instead. They make ones for windows as well.

There are certain topics that are guranteed to have 80% of the commenters blocked when I open the thread. Then when I log out to read said comments I’m faced with the reason for why they’re blocked.

The people voting for democrats are going to vote for whoever is on the ballot. Same applies for the die-hard republicans. It’s the independents who decide the vote and many of them are now considering Trump. I’d argue that to whoever Trump isn’t the obvious first choice pretty much anyone else but Biden would be a more compelling candidate. They know what they’re going to get with both Trump and Biden. How much worse could they realistically be if we just pick a random dude from the street and nominate them instead?

Who am I supposed to DM? I don’t know which mod deleted it.

Apparently so

Exactly

I’m just waiting to hear from the mod who deleted it.

What’s the diagnosis for?

Most Finns speak english pretty well, especially ones that are under 40 years old. However finding a job as someone not speaking Finnish can be a struggle. Fluent english skills alone aren’t something most companies would see as a big advantage as most people fresh out of school can pretty much do that as well. Finnish is a difficult language to learn but you don’t need to be perfect at it either. A foreigner willing to even try and learn the language is hugely appreciated. My russian neighbour knows like 30 words but that’s enough to get thru most conversations one needs to have with a neighbour.

Next step would be to proceed blocking every .ml community and joining the equivalent ones on other instances.

Cup of coffee. I don’t want to eat anything else. I literally just ate.

It’s the bland, neutral and “scientific” way of describing an activity. We’re all effectively content creators here where as lurkers only consume.

I do remember hearing that one of the signs you’re in a dream is that your phone doesn’t work properly

It’s one of the “reality tests” of lucid dreamers. You make a mental note of how you know your phone to behave and if you discover that not to be the case then that acts as an “alarm” that you’re sleeping.

There are other tests as well. Light switches never turn on the lights. Text changes when you look away and then read it again. You can try pushing your hand thru the wall. If you jump you’ll jump really high or may even start flying.

The point of these tests is to do them daily even when you “know” you’re awake so that the habit carries over to the dream world. However when this eventually happens either of two things is the most likely to happen: you freak out and wake up or you rationalize it to youself somehow. For example: “Holy shit I’m flying, this is a dream! Oh never mind it was just a crane that’s lifting me” Speaking from experience.

Also a word of caution. It’s not recommended to look into mirrors when you’re lucid dreaming. You’ll see something other than yourself and this can be really uncomfortable. Also if you realize you’re dreaming and start to freak out but don’t wake up there’s a good chance it turns into a nightmare. The way out of it is to not be afraid, for example go hug the monster instead of running away but this is easier said than done.

As an amateur photographer I feel the same way. If I didn’t like my photos I wouldn’t publish them.

What’s up with the quotation marks when you just came up with that “quote” yourself? I don’t feel the need to defend views I don’t hold.

Do you apply that logic to the people posting content that pisses off you as well?
