Honestly I don’t mind reasonable data caps. Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.
But with 4k streaming, downloading 100gb game updates on PS5, and YouTube basically constantly on in the background, I’ll hit the 1TB per month comcast limit in like 2 weeks. And that is just me, nevermind having any roommates at all.
1TB just isn’t enough for the modern Internet.
Steam?
What are they? I’d love it if people actually embraced using a different platform. Glassdoor makes no sense anymore
I know someone who got it at 17. That said, the only reason it happened was because of connections. Usually, even if it gets approved at 16, you basically have to get in line, and that will take 2-3 years before you can actually get the surgery.
That’s how it was for my friend a few years ago at least.
I love how delusional people here are.
Joking lol but serious that it will never happen. Windows has waaay too much of a monopoly for that to never happen.
Like wtf, am I supposed to tell my mom to use the terminal to download ms word? Oh wait sorry you can use libre office! It’s the same but… Well it looks different. And isn’t as functional.
There definitely is not a miracle cure, and sending someone random messages is not the way. I definitely agree with you there. Medical Assistance in Death should be more widely available as well. The one point I think is important to clarify is that it shouldn’t be used if there is reasonable expectation of some kind of improvement. In mental health, I think the vast majority of cases are improvable, at least beyond the point of suicide ideation.
I responded to another comment with some clarifications.
This is definitely a nuanced discussion and every situation is different, so I’m not going to make any sweeping statements about the whole thing, but I generally see suicidality as a symptom of something else. If we can improve the “something else,” the suicidality improves or even goes away in the vast majority of cases.
This is different from other Medical Assistance in Death situations because in the cases where it is implemented because of pain and illness, there is no reasonable hope of improving their outcomes. In the vast majority of mental health cases, there is a lot of hope, even if the patient does not see it (which is often. Most situations where a person expresses suicidal ideation and intention to family, friends, or therapists do not end in follow through. Having someone to talk to about those thoughts helps. Even validating their thoughts helps: “It makes sense that you feel like that, honestly.” But ultimately, you want to help them get through to the next day. The vast majority of people who were in this circumstance are glad they did not follow through).
Again, the discussion is nuanced and I don’t think Lemmy is the best place to facilitate this discussion, but that is more or less my take on it.
I’m currently midway through a program to become a therapist. I’ve been in the mental health space for quite some time, and worked with students of many ages.
This is the wrong decision. Suicide is usually a consequence of hopelessness. In my experience, hope can be brought back to most people suffering from mental health issues.
It also sets a dangerous precedent. A way out, so to speak, for people with a temporary, overcomable problem.
(For the record, I am ok with medical assistance in dying when it comes to chronic severe pain and illness).
Let’s agree that both are bad!
Journey is a spiritual journey for me. I try to play it once every couple of years to remind me of the impermanence of life and existence.
Fuck the robot snakes, I want a long scarf.
He isn’t going to fail because of Internet criticism. If he fails, it will be because of policies of his own making. It’s up to him to prove himself. If he can’t, the criticism will continue.
I guess so, but ultimately if I don’t notice them it’s fine. I restart my Mac maybe once a month for updates, that’s about all I functionally need to do.
I think the plan is to not let it get to that point? Ukraine is the front line against Russia. If the front line falls, the front line then becomes Poland, which is just one step away from Germany.
It is so engrained into society that suggested tip amounts on the receipt are welcomed, because then you don’t need to do the math
Yep I do that on a local project basis before I make any updates. Saved me a couple times from my own mistakes 😅
Checking the backups… Ah yes, the backup done in August 2017.
Hello boss, I broke the company. I’ll see myself out
Hey! Ngl dating apps suck - they are engineered basically to keep people addicted to them, and single.
The best thing to do to find a real interesting person to date is to go do stuff you want to do. Join Meetup groups, school clubs, etc. Just have fun. Live your life. Don’t base your happiness on finding a romantic partner - that is looking for an external solution for an internal problem. It doesn’t work.
Eventually you will run into someone else interesting. Don’t have expectations, just express genuine interest in them. Ask questions. Let them talk. Be open and willing to be vulnerable.
Good luck dude!
My m1 MacBook Air is hands down the most incredible laptop I’ve ever owned. I’ve had it for 3ish years now and it just doesn’t fucking stop. Battery life is still amazing and runs just as fast as it did day 1.
I’ve NEVER had that experience with any Intel/PC laptop, ever. Honestly I’m never going back.
Hades?
