Every single time I try something new I reinstall Fedora within a day, pretty sure it’s just Stolkholm Syndrome at this point

Because craftsmen used to make things by hand and real care could be put into their creations. The better question is why we don’t do this stuff anymore, to which the answer is, as always, capitalism.

Why do people have to have a diagnosable thing wrong with them, like auditory processing issues, to have their feelings or experiences validated?

How do you know what the other person experiences? How do you know whether they have auditory problems or not? What right do you have to decide how someone else feels about something? Why do you get to decide how the world communicates?

This has nothing to do with talking on the phone. It’s about recognizing that we don’t get to have the corner market on the universe and learning to embrace the one thing that makes human beings interesting, our messiness. Even if that messiness is avoiding talking on the phone.

As someone who is autistic, has an ample dose of ADHD, and the hearing of a brick, talking on the phone is a literal, hellish nightmare. I can barely figure out social interaction when I can see your face, I can’t pay attention to shit unless it’s actively grabbing my focus, and on the best of days the phone is about as intelligible as the adults from Peanuts.

Fuck. Phone. Calls.

It’s easy to take our experience of the world or how we feel about something and try to forcefully apply it to everyone else. This almost never works, and we just end up looking like a dumbass because people are messy and rarely fit in the same mold as us. Perhaps you feel that avoiding talking on the phone is ridiculous, but that is decidedly not universally true. Next time, maybe try and think through how other people might have a different experience and reason than you before passing such judgments.

What, really?!

Bringing back greenbooks, yay

Hmm, aren’t over-the-top displays of military forces a sign of something? What could it possibly be, certainly not fascism or something silly like that . . .

Invalidating and undermining the constitution is literally the point of almost everything the Cunts have done so far. It makes them feel big and powerful while dismissing the rest of us

Only 20%?

That is clearly embarrassed white

I really hope so. My parents are actually moving to the same-ish area, worst case I’ll have to hangout with them on the weekends or something. My mom loves to garden, so there will definitely be a space at their house (that I’ll probably get conned into building, lol).

Got lots of plans, life keeps getting in the way . . .

Hey, that’s my thing, hahaha.

Progress is always progress, and 60% is pretty dang good, easily 80% more than most of my projects. I wish you the best of luck with all your photosynthisizing endeavors. Considering the current state of everything, this is some good in the world.

Thank god

One of the big problems is even more basic than the evils of capitalism, as you mention. If there is some asshole looking to hurt you or your kids, suddenly there is a perfect (and apparently public) record literally advertising the kids’ exact location at all times.

My issue is I’m literally moving states in a couple months, so everything has become about making that happen. Wouldn’t get a chance to enjoy any plants before then anyway.

Gardening (or any outside time) really is the perfect thing for recovering, glad the timing worked out. Maybe you could get a greenhouse set up for next year?

I’m on Lemmy, a thread based discussion platform, aka. a forum. Followers are a massively stupid, meaningless waste of time here. Vastly prefer having legit conversations anyway.

Why the hell would I want any followers

First, this is not Mastodon. Idk the rules there, but to my knowledge, there is nothing requiring the use of alt-text on lemmy.world.

Second, this is a post asking about fucking weekend gardening plans, not some world news or national tragedy. The image is literally meaningless outside of the context of the post. If you can’t interact with the image or you don’t like something, then the post isn’t for you. Move on and be a miserable asshole somewhere else.

I don’t think Nintendo gives a flying fuck about my ‘reinforcement’, positive or negative. All I’m trying to do issue a warning about where these kinds of decisions and policies can very quickly end up.

Today, it may be a good thing (I would argue its not, but not the point rn), but as soon a money can be made, they will weaponize it. It’s what capitalism does.

Literally anything other than gardening 🥲

Alt-text is great and important, but nobody is required to put in extra time and effort on their own original post for such things, especially not on a casual post that maybe a few thousand people will interact with.

Some of us may struggle with reading, writing, visual processing, etc., or have to use tools that make adding additional accessability features a huge challenge. There are many sides to the same coin, not everything is done with malicious intent or an abilist mindset.
