Hades?

Sorta

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?

When I was living over in Seoul, I volunteered at an organization that supported North Korean refugees. There were lots of native South Korean people there too. I imagine it’s a mixed bag, similar to the US.

If I have mastodon, how and when can I follow Blue sky users? I read something about an adapter server or something, but I don’t know what that means in a practical sense.

In South Korea, the soldiers have a curfew imposed by the base and Korean government because of the high frequency of rape.

My personal experience with soldiers in South Korea and Japan have been… Mostly negative. They are arrogant shitheads most of the time.

All of that said, I understand that isn’t a US policy issue, more than a military culture issue.

When I think of all the horrible shit that goes on in the world, the thing that keeps me going is that Greta Thunburg is responsible for the Tates getting arrested. Life is wonderful sometimes.

anyone who has seen the news on this and kept their Disney+ subscription should be, for moral purposes, treated as someone who condones murder

Bro, not gonna lie, this is a bad take. My grandparents just want to watch their soap operas, my parents really like star wars.

It’s like global warming. Blaming individuals for not recycling is not the move - taking action against huge corporations is the only realistic way to make change. By blaming random people, we end up looking like crazy people.

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.

Is genocide denial not racism?

Defederating sends a message that the world doesn’t like tankie bullshit

Exactly. Why are we federated with people who deny genocides? Fuck all of that

I’m all for defederating from tankie instances. They suck.

I actually fly these things as a hobby 😅 it’s telemetry data sent directly from the drone. The reason they are always low battery is probably because they fly them pretty far out to avoid getting detected and killed.

Once the battery hits 3.2V or so, you can really start feeling it in how the drone flies. It just doesn’t have the power draw remaining for much else. Usually you land at that point to avoid destroying the battery, but in this case… You can fly it down to 2.8ish and still be in the air, but it won’t like it and the battery will be damaged.

Battery was running low. If he could have lasted another 3 minutes or so he would have survived.

I’ve actually played this game with my brother before (with a small drone, no explosives lol). It is actually surprisingly fun.

Hey! So you may have noticed that you got downvoted into oblivion here. It is because of the unnecessary amount of negativity in your comment.

In communication, there are two parts - how it is delivered, and how it is received. In this interaction, you clearly stated your point: giving yourself the title of pro oftentimes means the person is not a pro.

What they received, however, is far different. They received: ugh this sweaty asshole is gatekeeping coding.

If your goal was to convince this person not to call themselves a pro going forward, this may have been a failed communication event.

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).
