Kid loves you because you’re still there for him, for better or worse. If he doesn’t feel abandoned or less important than material things, then he’ll keep on loving you just the same.
Still, long-term, you need to plan for building him an independent life while getting one for yourself. It’s a tough gig but you have experience. Your work ain’t done yet pops, so good luck!
To you maybe. To Russia, no way.
Ever heard of the saying “Walk a mile in my shoes”? So the clearest means of conveying information would be to encapsulate someone’s entire life experience up to that point, temporarily transfer that state to the other person and allow them to understand the entire background of how that information came to be. Do that back and forth and you have the clearest means of communicating information between people.
Thanks for the high praise. But also quite accurate.
I’ve been a mod before, in other places. My rule always ended up biased and unfair, but thankfully I was quickly overthrown. There’s a degree of separation when being part of the staff that alienates my view from that of the user base over time. Also, as said above, i am a bit of a cunt with people I don’t like. Can’t help it really…
It’s a tough gig, combating hatefulness, and most social media would rather pay fines than actually do their job in this regard. And constantly being exposed to the stress and negativity, well, it changes you.
I wish you luck and remember to visit the wholesome side of Lemmy more often, to keep in mind why you do this thankless job.
Ps: Thank you
Well shit! So no fucking around anymore? What about Australians? Are they still allowed to go “cunt” this and “cunt” that? I think it’s part of their cultural identity and forcing them to stop might harm them on an emotional level.
And what about the Polish? Or was it Poles? I forget. Anyway, “kurwa bobr” is an international sensation. We cannot censor it without it being called abuse and attracting a different kind of "kurwa"s posts.
Insults that are part of one’s cultural identity should be protected. And as such, I propose that the mod team should sacrifice a small amount of time in their day to learn culturally appropriate swear words from languages across the globe and share them with the rest of the users so that we may all know the socially acceptable way of insulting one another in a polite and friendly fashion.
A pleasant non-fucking day to you all. (They say abstinence makes the heart grow fond)
Strictly speaking on ethics, if it’s for some educational purposes then it’s fine. If it’s for the educational purposes of making a profit, then it’s not fine.
I’m more inclined to call it indigestion…
Considering how consistently the world gets fucked, yeah, I’d say there’s a divine Dick out there doing all the fucking.
Seeing as how this topic isn’t part of Rule 3 for which the answer is to go seek professional help, nor is there a rule specific to stupid answers, I’m gonna go ahead with this one.

Not really. If you need drugs to make yourself a better person, once you’ve made your life as that better person and the drugs run out, will that life still be compatible with the drugless you? Will you still be able to handle it? To like it? For it to like you? How desperate will you be to find an alternative?
And every drug has a downside, a cost both physical and mental. Have you informed yourself what that cost is? And I’m not talking about the success stories, if it’s not obvious, I’m talking about the ones that took any of these drugs and it failed them. Can you handle those kind of results? If you can’t take into account the cost of failure and whether it outweighs the cost of success, then that drug isn’t for you.
Also, I’d ignore the “go for it” type of comments. Their bias is the equivalent of a “bootstraps” type of success story and not that much reliable. A more reliable success story is that of fighter planes:
Initially, engineers looked at bullet holes in the fuselage to figure out which areas to strengthen and have fewer planes downed. When that didn’t work, some smartass said that if a hit downed a plane, then it won’t make it back to base. So the engineers strengthened the areas without bullet holes instead.
Well guess what, the downed planes won’t make it to Lemmy and tell their stories to you. Imagine that.
He’d accidentally fall out of a window long before he’d have the chance.
I think one of the Shepard backgrounds was of a colonist kid who survived a slavers raiding party, something for which the Batarians are well known for. Add in the murdering soldier career option and yeah, I can see this happening…
Handle one fragile thing at a time, with your attention dedicated to it. No random thoughts and no multitasking or you might break something.
3 sea shells.
Wait for the party coolies to bring their goodies bags and pick the one I like most.
I can think of a few ways, but considering where this is posted, there’s no need to overthink. Just keep it simple.
When pleasing the investors becomes top priority, everything else turns into shit.
Bold of you to assume life on earth originated on earth.
It’s normal to attack and be attacked, it’s also normal to have a friendly exchange of ideas and it’s very normal to communicate through memes and soundbites.
What isn’t normal is to communicate through emojis. We need to shun those people! They must not be allowed to propagate a second hieroglyphics age! Archeologists will think it was aliens all over again!
Shun them!
