  • A cool guide to everyday etiquette no one teaches you

    Jump

  • That's a bit of the problem these days though; younger generations are not taught what concrete actions are deemed respectful. Furthermore it's viewed as a personal inconvenience for the sake of strangers.

  • A cool guide to everyday etiquette no one teaches you

    Jump

  • Nice post! I don't know how many are or aren't taught these things, as I feel like I was taught most of these myself. I do have some opinions though:

    • Tipping I feel like is a thing very pertained to the US, and shouldn't be considered "good etiquette", but rather altruistic. I.e. no pressure to give tips. Same with the car, but it should still be returned "in an equal or better condition" if possible.Etiquette is not dependent on economic power.
    • Being loud in general is bad etiquette/uncivilized, so the three about loud music, speakerphone, and loudness in quiet public places could be a single entry.
    • Other duplicates: "let others exit first" and "clean up".
    • The coughing shows a graphic of holding the hand in front of the mouth, which should instead be the elbow because of simple hygiene.
    • The part about commenting on someone's food is a bit weird, as it could be extended to "don't share your opinion about my choices unless I ask". Thoughts?
    • I really like the modern inclusion of putting away your phone during conversations!
    • Things that could be added:
      • Value others' time; be on time, and don't be in the way of those with little time.
      • Do the small things yourself, regardless of whose responsibility it is (like pick up something from the floor).
      • Give space when there is space. E.g. walking on the sidewalk, shopping cart in aisle, personal space in the queue, etc.

  • What is something you can't do with 100M dollars but can do with 18 dollars?

  • I did the same misreading lol

    To answer the question:Have a healthy outlook on life where money is an integral part of functioning in a modern society.

    Humans are easily addicted to power (a survival trait, in some ways), and money is essentially that, considering what one can use it for (corruption). The more one has, the more disconnected one becomes from the origin of money as a system: A favor system. A healthy life (imho) is one where you contribute to society in balance with what you receive from it.

  • Poland facing alarming increase in youth suicide

    Jump

  • I'm not really into trends and such, but wasn't emo a trendy thing in the 90s/early 2000s? Is it back again already? Also, 2022 statistics are understandably related to the covid shutdown - it proved in many ways that social life is very important for mental health.

  • Poland facing alarming increase in youth suicide

    Jump

  • And I tried to look up GrowSPACE, and found only more articles stating the same things, but none still with linked sources?

  • If someone tells you "you support socialism, yet you use products of capitalism", what would you say?

  • Poland facing alarming increase in youth suicide

    Jump

  • I'm saddened to see that the statistics show a growing trend, but I'm curious why the amount of attempts have increased so much, yet the deaths did not increase proportionally to the attempts? I hope that the reason is because suicide attempts are being more talked about and focused on than before, rather than there being an actual increase in attempts. Though it's probably a bit of both?

    Edit:I can't seem to find any direct links in the article to the sources it talks about?

  • Report: Payday developer Starbreeze is making more layoffs

    Jump

  • Considering how they completely messed up the launch of Payday 3, and then furthermore saying since (among other things) that they'd work on including an offline mode, only to decide after about 20 months that they're not gonna do it after all due to "it wasn't a feasible route for us" (Steam news) proves to me that they're only thinking about the money, not the player. And fortunately, as with most companies who focus purely on the money, they get dumped by the userbase for it, as evident in the other comment here.

    An article about it.

  • What are some good media that un-glorify conflict?

    Jump

  • A Soviet anti-war film sounds intriguing, especially considering the times. I'll definitely give that a watch. Grave of the Fireflies has been on my list for ages as a Studio Ghibli film, so I guess it's about time for that one too, thanks.

    When it comes to real footage, I've seen too much. It's what still sits with me, the gut-wrenching despair people are exposed to, and the lifelong nightmares in active development. There are videos I'd like for certain people to see, but I'm unsure whether it's a good idea or not to show them. NSFL content is something I generally don't share unless I'm completely confident it will have a constructive reception. Hence I ask for common media instead, that is thought provoking on a less risky level.

  • What are some good media that un-glorify conflict?

    Jump

  • I do think with the right angle, those out for blood can indeed be persuaded. There's no "general cure" to the bloodlust, which makes it difficult, but far from impossible. And vilification is but one angle. Another is a profound sadness, felt in relation to their personal situation.

    It might drive the good people to passivity, true, but I believe that the fear of conflict can become great enough to warrant action, so that fascists/imperialists meet resistance/consequences internally within the nation. Like by the workers who are in the business of weapon logistics, the journalists who write glorifying articles in the news, the people who not only speak up but act against "their own people". I think there are already many like it, based on several videos I've seen from Russia in 2022 for example, although not many enough, evidently.

  • Interesting suggestion! I've heard about this game, and my initial thoughts were exactly as you described, so maybe I should try it out indeed.

    Also thanks for linking a study!

  • I've already watched Arcane, and it indeed is a great show in how it displays each death as an immensely impactful event for each close character, making them feel anger and desperation, ultimately leading to regretful emotional decisions.

    In regards to war being necessary, I partly agree: It only becomes necessary because one side finds it a worthy method to gain what they seek. The Nazi party decided that taking by force is a viable option, and they got support for it. This is what I hope to prevent in the first place. One example is the (initial) support Kremlin had to intervene in Ukraine with a military force. Another example is Trump taking Maduro; also a clear act of war. I'm honestly impressed by the world's reluctance to give military consequences, though I fear it's for the wrong reasons...

    The people of the aggressor's side are the ones that would benefit the most from un-glorifying of conflict, and I will surely recommend people I know some of the great suggestions in this post.

  • Exploding? I haven't seen that, but the freezing, it annoys me every time I see it. Although tbf, the real effects are likely too brutal and horrifying to accurately depict and still get a decent age rating for the movie.

  • A warm welcome, fellow fediverse surfer!

    I see @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip has already been here to welcome you (that guy is legendary!), and he creates these awesome monthly update posts for Lemmy.zip and piefed.zip where he provides some cool insight into how the instances are doing, like traffic, scraping stats, storage space status, and more!

    As for communities, there are plenty good ones for someone like you who like Linux and FOSS. I recommend just searching for those keywords and take a look at their content. The various instances and communities are run by very diverse people, and some may be more to your liking than not. I recommend engaging with both those you agree with and disagree with for a healthy mix of discussion.

    Some of my personal favorites are !programmer_humor@programming.dev and !technology@lemmy.zip.

  • Estonian volunteers struggling to protect Wikipedia from Russian propaganda

    Jump

  • History being rewritten is no small thing. These nuances are indeed something capable of swaying opinions of many, especially considering how many read Wikipedia compared to physical history books.

    In the example of Kaja Kallas, one who's not familiar with her origins might check out her Wikipedia page and find that she was born "as part of the Soviet Union", and might judge/defame her as someone with an upbringing or values unfit for her political role.

    Nevertheless, the information is accurate (that was the place and the state of the country when she was born). And if you click on Estonian SSR (currently live on Wikipedia), you will immediately see on the top of the page:

    "... was an illegal administrative subunit (union republic) of the former Soviet Union, covering the occupied and annexed territory of Estonia in 1940–1941 and 1944–1991."

    So the accurate information is still present, though it indeed matters how it is presented.

    I'm not denying the campaign of disinformation and history manipulation, but I think a huge part of the problem here is how people read and consume information; take one bite of what is presented and go straight to an extreme opinion. We have become so polarized it's ridiculous, and it's detrimental to civilized societies.

  • EU reiterates support for 'rules-based world' after Venezuela attack

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, considering the basic human psychology that world leaders are subject to, there is a need for a deterrent with greater power than the temptation. There is always a calculation of "is it worth it", and it is up to us civilized to ensure the answer is "no" in situations like this. By what means we create this deterrence however, I fear it is always either way too little (just talk) or way too much (military force, aka. war).

    We live in trying times...

  • How open are you about yourself to others online in general?

    Jump

  • I'm quite transparent, and have been exposed to doxxing before, unfortunately, with random packages appearing on my doorstep and such. Still, I keep being perhaps a bit too naive, as being cynical would make my internet presence quite a lot more demanding of me.

    I own my actions in life, including mistakes and failures. I don't let it weigh me down, nor feel ashamed of who I was. So threatening me with shame is fortunately quite ineffective.

    I have no issues speaking my mind on emotional topics like death, war, and politics, which naturally makes some people despise me. That is their problem however, not mine, as I believe communication is key, even among enemies.

    I feel like I've found a balance that works well for me, but if needed, I have the knowledge to change my ways.
