Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some things on preventive healthcare that you think more people should be aware of?English
4·2 months agoI imagine “resistance training” is a better phrase for what the commenter was saying. Lifting your body weight is lifting weights
Yeah, I tried to go to their wiki the main repo’s readme links to but it won’t load for me

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that is growing because of young people?English

Amazing, came here to basically say the same thing about these two. Thanks kind stranger!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which YouTube channels should I subscribe to if I want to ruin my feed?English
4·4 months agoI think subscribing to all of those “sleepy time” AI generated channels would do it for me. They put out a new 2+ hour video a day full of absolute inaccuracies, so not only is it slop but it’s profoundly misinformative slop. But honestly I don’t want you to sub to them, it only encourages them all

World News@lemmy.ml•Ukraine killed 21 Russian students in Starobelsk and is now trying to bury the storyEnglish
1314·4 months agoYes, this is bad. Does it absolve Russia’s war of aggression or turn Putin’s pariah state into something worth defending? Absolutely not

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Teleportation machines exist. Most people use them, and they come out the other side just fine. Would you use them?English
3·5 months agoThank you, came here to say this. People like the phrase “continuity of consciousness” but the problem of persistent identity is much more fundamental than this thought experiment lets on

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Let's say hypothetically, you just lived the plot of the Truman Show, escaping a bubble where your life has been broadcasted for the entire world to see. Now that you're free, what's your next move?English
14·8 months agoWho knows? Like, the world is very different from how it’s been presented to me if that’s the case. Corporations can own people and feed them highly produced gas lighting false realities? I’d be terrified. In the reality presented to me we’re on the brink of another world war. If that’s not real but there other is, then it sounds like the bad guys won a long time ago.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Has anyone here legitimately felt like they could kill their own mother (but don't because it's illegal and immoral)? How do you cope?English
16·8 months agoDo you feel that way because you’re being abused? Or do you feel that way because you might be an undiagnosed psychopath (and I do mean that in the clinical sense)? Because that’s two very different things.
I’m not qualified to tell you what to do if it’s the former; I don’t know how unsafe you are but I would encourage you to get out of the situation. I hope others can be mor helpful.
If it’s the latter, then you need to start seeing a therapist. If you want to be able to continue to be a part of civil society, you’ll need to do a lot of work to curtail those impulses. Again, like the other scenario I hope others more qualified than I can be more helpful

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the oldest video game you still find yourself playing?English
4·10 months agoyeah, I remember the first time I played The Dark Mod and thought: Holy shit, they really nailed the fidelity of the original! Then I was finally able to get Thief: Gold running and realized that TDM actually looks leagues better than the original lol

World News@lemmy.ml•Colombia, UK, and the Netherlands Stop Sharing Intelligence With U.S. Over Caribbean Terrorist AttacksEnglish
12·10 months agoOh dang, I didn’t realize you had editorialized the headline yourself and thought the Times actually had the balls to call them terrorist bombings

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How often do you get "Fake" lucid dreams vs. Real lucid dreams?English
7·11 months agoYes, lucidity is more of a spectrum than a binary

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Democracy is the best form of governance but we use dictatorship for our forums. Is this for efficiency? Control? Something else?English
12·1 year agoJfc, I’m not the original person who started this thread.
But if you’re a child who needs it broken down:
- forums such as lemmy allow users to create multiple accounts
- each account a person has access to is a potential vote
- casual honest users will then likely just have one vote
- whereas terminally online jerkoffs like you sound like will have a dozen or more accounts and votes
- therefore, it’s not a good system for enforcing any kind of egalitarianism.
You might as well ask why we need login accounts at all. If you want to see what happens with such systems, you need only look at 4chan.
Now, fuck off I’m done with this thread
