Horny jail
One thing I've tried to take to heart on lemmy: On reddit I nearly never posted articles. But here, I try to post any article I find interesting. I think with such a small space we've gotta be the change we see. Every time you read something worthwhile, try to remember to find somewhere to post it here.
You need to meet more young people they don't know either specifically because companies like google and apple try to obscure competition by making their way seem like the only way.
Largely agree. I think the bamboozlers were there the whole time - after all, a lot of early radio was for propaganda purposes. But I do think most companies try to do things the right way, and there was a point when marketing was seen as simple outreach.
Discord has real advantages over many of those, and communities are slow to pick up and move. It'll take either a very bad decision from discord or a good competitor. I want that competitor to be Matrix, but it's far from perfect.
This is a good thought. FOSS has been historically not very good at utilizing the time and skills of potential non-coder volunteers, but community management is a great place for that.

Feds, Advocates Talk About What's In The New MUTCD (And What Isn't)! — Streetsblog USA

I agree with the thoughts on second opinions. It sounds like you cope fine with your current situation already, and to be honest I'm skeptical much would change. At your age, the way you speak would be a very ingrained muscle memory thing. Maybe you could change it with some concerted effort but I suspect even with the surgery you'd still tend to speak the way you currently do.
Any particular reason to not use Firefox with addons like ublock? Just curious
I think some people do this. However, I'm 30, live with my long term partner, and have a bigger friend group than I've ever had before, with weekly events. My partner isn't a stand-in for socialization.
I'll fully admit I have some advantages because I have no kids, and a job that pays decently and isn't too demanding. I've met people through:
-
dating apps. This is how I met my partner and also a very good platonic friend
-
activist/interest groups. Got involved with a local urbanism group, now I know many of the people there
-
house parties. I got lucky here, I met someone that throws monthly house parties, went to those regularly, and made some very good friends that way
-
reconnecting with childhood friends. Again, lucky, but a few of my HS and college friends live in the same city as me and we reconnected and hang out.
The one bit of concrete wisdom I think I have here is that if you go to the same social place regularly you'll see the same people and if you put yourself out there you'll get to know some of those people. Activist groups or meetup groups are great because you probably already have some things in common.
3 of the passengers were lifelong explorers - the ex french navy guy, the ceo, and the billionaire that had already gone to space. I believe those three probably fully consented to the risks, and I don't have any particular sympathy for them.
But the other guy didn't have an adventurous background, and I wonder if he really understood what he was getting into. Still, he was an adult responsible for himself.
The teengager however... no way he was fully aware of the risks. Teens still think they're invincible, especially rich ones. Him I feel sorry for.

Honestly? Probably not. How many awkward things that you've heard other people say do you remember for more than a week?
