The same could be said of someone who earns a low income relative to a billionaire (e.g. $80-120k) depending on the country they reside in. Money doesn't buy happiness folks, life experiences do 🙂

They're fucked. Not because of the asbestos, but because of their clear disregard for personal health and safety. God speed you crazy bastard.

Why do you want to be better? What is the problem?

I see this as just another step towards the extremes of ridiculousness that is fundamentalist Islamic religion. Imagine being so disconnected from existence, and being so hypnotised by words, that you would subjugate those in your culture who, through their natural virtue, embody the positive characteristics of the very god they describe and worship such as love, compassion, acceptance, understanding, yeilding, giving etc.

Imagine if it happens but not because of science but because of the profit from the commercial contracts. Let's get rich so we can live the life of luxury in a sunless abyss of organic survival adaptations.

Global oligarchy. Not just America

Yeah but I bet he met a KPI

Your third point reminded me of a kid recently who committed suicide and his only friend was an AI bot.

I would be more concerned if they were labelled F and B

The irony is the use of technology to ask the question. Your level of tech use and engagement is a personal choice. You can minimise or stop anytime. Most choose to minimise, I'd suspect because some innovations are quite useful.

Also, in an existence where the only constant is change, where every moment and conscious perspective is uniquely different and where novel complexity only increases, it would be wise to cultivate patience and a neutral perspective on change.

On a hard drive

 

As title says, keen to discuss any ideas for features or gameplay enhancements that could make HD2 even better!

Mine are:

  1. A startegem that allows you to view the battlefield top down from space to aim/zoom and fire/manoeuvre projectile(s).

  2. Text chat and game stats available on the un-skippable post game wrap up screens.

  3. Armour with a self-destruction feature, with visible countdown limited uses. Watch out for friendlies!

Hide read posts (self.syncforlemmy)

I have the setting that marks a post read when scrolling. Now I want to automatically hide read posts so I don't see the same content. Is this possible in Sync?

Maybe not heads in jars but certainly real-time video avatars and maybe even hologram heads!

It would be nice if there was an option for different settings per account. For example, hide NSFW on one account but show NSFW on another.

Then when I switch accounts, the settings switch also.

Is it possible to 'follow'or subscribe to individual Lemmy users so I can see their posts on my subscribed feed?

 

Everytime I open the app it takes me to /All where as I would like to set the default view to /Subscribed

So peaceful (lemmy.world)

There's nothing like the hitching and unhitching of truck trailers through a prison fence to bring peace and tranquility into your life.

 
 

Since I stopped drinking 3 years ago I have found that some people who drink seem uncomfortable when I decline their offers for a drink. They will repeatedly offer me drinks even after I explain that I consciously quit due to substance abuse. Some of these individuals are in-laws who should have more concern for my personal well-being but continue to regularly offer me drinks which I continue to politely decline.

I have a theory that subconsciously these individuals know they have an alcohol problem and find it confronting or somehow judgmental when they meet someone who has taken steps to address their problem. I suppose it's easier to try and convince someone else to drink than it is to quit themselves.

It's important to be aware that you may encounter this type of scenario on your journey to stop drinking.
