Oh, sure! The other comments did a pretty good job of explaining things. In my case, I struggled a lot with procrastination and getting sidetracked easily, which led to the lazy descriptor. And as for the sensitive, I tend to feel my emotions strongly and quickly, and I also have rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), so I tend to easily assume I’m being socially rejected

Especially when you don’t have the hyperactivity part (used to be ADD, now it’s ADHD - inattentive type), this makes so much sense as to why I was just called lazy and sensitive as a kid and teenager. Getting diagnosed in my late 20s made so many things make sense in hindsight.

You are not as strong as you think you are. Lift with your legs, not your back.

In this context, the meme is talking about liberals not in the American conservative vs liberal sense, but in the liberalism sense. Whereas leftists, who most Americans would think of as “extremely liberal”, are not actually liberals at all, since we oppose free market capitalism and private property.

I am here to chew bubble gum and post memes in the memes community, and I’m all out of bubble gum

Despite the meme, I totally agree! Most liberals I encounter are well-intentioned, but have been indoctrinated into thinking that capitalism is the best system we have available. Being patient and answering questions that explain what you actually believe, not what they’ve been told you believe, goes a long way. That said, being patient like that definitely a skill that is not always easy to get right, and certainly takes practice.

Exactly. If it wasn’t clear in 2016, it certainly is now - Trump is a symptom, not the root problem

Then why bother?

Contributing to social programs is a good thing - we should judge a society based on how it treats the most vulnerable members. And I want to live in a world where everyone, no matter who they are, has their needs met.

I am a relatively new Yunohost user, and I’m a big fan. I’ve dabbled with Docker, but I’ve never been quite able to figure out how to make it work. Yunohost took the hard part away and made it pretty easy to set up.

That said, I don’t view it as a long term solution for me. I don’t like not really knowing entirely how it works, and I’ve had issues trying to configure the reverse proxy to connect it with a domain name. (I purchased one from Porkbun, which is apparently not supported.) Until I learn a little more, though, I like it.

Maybe made to feel othered via bullying as a kid, so voluntarily isolated in their teens and early twenties?

If so, then yeah, I can certainly see how that would stunt social and emotional development

I’ve heard this a lot - is it just a common joke in privacy circles, or is anyone using Tor/Tails actually likely to be on a list?

TLDW?

I have an idea for a building decarbonization co-op enterprise that I’m really excited about, but it’s difficult for a few reasons: lack of time outside of work to develop the business plans, lack of connection to others to build with, and lack of financial capital to get off the ground. I’m not opposed to putting in the effort to try fixing those, but they are all significant challenges.

It might help with depression and anxiety. Definitely not a cure (take your meds!), but spending time in nature, exercising, and mindfulness do all show some benefits for mental health

Yep, sounds like I’m the odd one out then. Although Lemmy is far from my only source of news and information

Maybe I’m the one that’s out of the loop, but I’d consider myself fairly informed and on the left, and I only think I’ve heard him speak once or twice. I don’t watch any streams though, so it could just be that I’m not part of that community

Is Hasan Piker really the biggest voice on the political left?

I would also like to become a tree! My grandma’s cabin that I spent a lot of time at growing up is right next to a national forest. I hope that type of service is more widely available when I die

Thank you!
