Yeah. It can be seriously annoying to have people judge you for who you were once, or maybe never was even. Often other people's perceptions are not accurate descriptions of who any of us really are.

It's just life I guess.

You are Hillary Clinton?

Shit, even going from a semi active lifestyle to a 9-5 office job will add a belly if you're not hitting the gym.

Only if you keep eating as you did before. People don't change their diets as they get older. They seem unaware / not caring that the belly will come otherwise.

I think it's partly just being OK with getting fat. If you are not attractive anymore anyway because of age, may as well enjoy whatever food you like. And if you are in a relationship, both partners are probably OK with looking not so great anymore as they age.

I'm not sure why this comment is so popular. If you travel, you see many countries on the planet where all women wear makeup all the time.

 

Julian Assange is free.

After living in a cell for more than 5 years, he can soon go home and meet his family again.

I'm wondering if it was worth the sacrifice. The governments and tech companies are spying more than ever on everyone.

No I drive fast enough to never have cars behind me. :) So Im actually not part of the problem the thread was discussing, with drivers just driving the same speed in the left lane. That is really frustrating when people do that.

I would go as far as saying that this behavior of driving faster in the left lane helps to make traffic flow a lot better and avoid congestion. But it's not legal.

I dont agree, I use the left lane frequently to not have a car in front of me. Increases visibility and security a lot, and just gives a nice feeling of not being blocked.

I do drive a bit faster than cars in the right lane almost always though.

Yes of course. But have you noticed how everyone assumes that men are staring and making women feel uncomfortable despite nothing like that was expressed?

I've also seen jokes about dicks that everyone seem to think is funny, but when someone mentions actual attraction, the thread goes nuts. :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Nobody said staring. :)

Lol, it's just not politically correct these days. :)

Human attraction is at the core of human existence and I think it's silly to act like it doesn't exist every day.

This is how you enjoy life. Make people happy being around you, and they do the same for you.

I personally don't trust Snowden. Looking at the difference between how he was treated and how Assange was treated. One guy gets to rot in prison, other guy gets movies made about him from Hollywood. Snowden is very much controlled opposition in my mind.

But that being said, I think he is truthful about OpenAI. Which sucks, because now I and many others love using chat gpt.

It's possible to self host these things though. I read an article about it here:

But probably not worth the money for most people.

 

I think its not just kids anymore, it's adults too. Everyone is glued to their screens these days. But kids are more vulnerable to influences from "social" media and don't have any defences to the psychological warfare going on. Of course they feel like shit.

 

I think this is the perfect analogy for what's happening right now to the open web.

We are part of the Cosy Web here on Lemmy.. :)

 

This is actually pretty brilliant and innovative.

With other solutions, the "key" that re-enables distractions is always present. Brick allows you to leave that key behind, turning your phone into a new, distraction-free device until you return.

This tickles some part of my brain... The scanning part is so cool. Would you use an app like this?

 

This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don't like Apple but it's great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

This was a really good summary of what Rust feels like in my opinion. I'm still a beginner myself but I recognize what this article is saying very much.

The hacker news comments are as usual very good too:

Get your shorts ready, this will be very interesting to follow. Seems like the stock will appear tomorrow already?

I fully expect a nosedive in stock price but who knows. Maybe a pump and dump.

 

Who is actually surprised by this? I would be more surprised if young Americans felt it was a great place to live.

 

I didn't know reddit gave out the personal details of their users, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
