Nothing says "we're on path towards inevitable victory" (as Russian shills like to claim) like nuclear saber rattling.

Second Boeing whistleblower dies in less than two months by wandermind in c/news@lemmy.world

[-] wandermind@sopuli.xyz 31 points 6 months ago

I mean.

One might be a coincidence.

Two out of two? Considering how few high profile whistleblowers there are, that is much more unlikely to be due to random chance, statistically speaking.

Similar to how it's not impossible that someone might fall out of a window and die.

But if in a certain country, important people who have crossed the leadership keep falling out of windows, ... well.

A hospital? Hamas.

A newspaper office? Hamas.

A pile of food and water? Believe it or not, also Hamas!

I come from an era before widespread official anime translations, when the only name an anime show had was the original Japanese name. So that's still the paradigm I'm using.

Edit: Out of all the shit I post, I wouldn't have expected this comment to be the controversial one

How I like my pi by wandermind in c/memes@lemmy.ml

[-] wandermind@sopuli.xyz 51 points 9 months ago

Pihole and uBlock Origin have different purposes. Pihole blocks ad domains network-wide. uBlock Origin can remove specific elements from specific webpages with surgical precision regardless of the domain the content is served from, so it is a much more precise wide-spectrum content blocker.

In other words, uBlock Origin can block basically everything, but only works in your browser. Pihole blocks fewer things and less precisely but works for all your devices.

Bernie Sanders Calls for ‘NO MORE’ U.S. Funding For Netanyahu’s ‘Illegal, Immoral, Brutal, and Grossly Disproportionate War’ in Gaza by wandermind in c/politics@lemmy.world

In part because there are people actively and deliberately muddying together the Netanyahu government and Israel (as well as Israel and Jews) so that any criticism of the actions of Israel or Netanyahu can be labeled "antisemitism".

Japanese disaster prevention X account can’t post anymore after hitting API limit - The issue has arisen after major Tsunami warnings have been issued in areas of Japan following a strong earthquake by wandermind in c/technology@lemmy.world

Japan has various earthquake notification systems. Tweets are just one more way to get the information to the people on a platform they use.

Plex starts narcing on its own users' anime and X-rated habits with an opt-out service, and it's going terribly by wandermind in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Like the old joke goes, "when I'm watching anime and my mom walks in, I alt tab to porn because it's easier to explain"

Elon Musk calls strikes ‘insane’ as Swedish workers take on Tesla by wandermind in c/news@lemmy.world

[-] wandermind@sopuli.xyz 95 points 11 months ago

I feel like if someone is insane, it must be Musk, trying to circumvent the unions in a Nordic country, which have one some of the strongest unions and union culture in the world.

The price of a cup of coffee yeah maybe, but with how many paid online services there are, how many cups of coffee a day y'all think I'm having?

Met with a psychiatrist for ADHD diagnosis (sopuli.xyz)

I just had my first ever meeting with a psychiatrist to get diagnosed with ADHD.

Long story short, they said that I clearly exhibit ADHD symptoms.

But they're not willing to go forward with a diagnosis because, according to them, I seem to be doing alright in my life, so the symptoms are hardly causing me enough problems to be eligible for a diagnosis. (And also because there's no evidence of me having had such symptoms in childhood.)

And I was just sitting there thinking, do you really think I would be here if I didn't think the symptoms were causing me problems in life?

Based on what they said, they expected me to have experienced things like getting warnings or being fired from jobs, ruining my relationships with people, and such. And they suggested the usual things, exercise, the Pomodoro method, etc. As if I haven't tried them already.

My bad for masking so well, I guess.

Anyway, just wanted to vent a bit. I know it's too common a story. I guess the next thing I need to do is to find a psychiatrist specializing in adult ADHD. Once my (still undiagnosed) ADHD lets me do that.
