Recently I had a dream that involved my (smart) watch and phone. Only for knowing the time though. I thought that I had overslept for work, but every time I looked at my watch, my phone, or the clock on the wall, the time was different (but always way too late). At some point I think I woke up, because I remember looking at my watch, concluding that everything was fine and that I could still sleep and hour, and fell asleep again. But then the dream started again by pulling a “you dreamt that you overslept but now you have actually overslept”.

I’m getting rid of said hairy veer belly to make it fit better :3

I hate to break it to you, but most men don’t have a body shape like that. Not hating or anything, but skirts and croptops generally don’t match too well with a hairy beer belly in the eyes of many ppl.

The latter. I guess that’s kinda what I have already and I have no complaints. I’m aro/ace anyway so I don’t really need the stunning looks for dating purposes. My relatively decent ability to learn new things never ceases to entertain me

I don’t think it’s because they’re soft or something. The behaviour is advantageous and gets rewarded, so they keep doing it.

Yeah drinking nights are an absolute calorie nuke. It’s why I’m doing it less and less. I’ve managed to change most other part of my life for the better (not that I was ever really overweight). I run 2+ times a week, I rarely eat calorie dense processed food anymore, I rarely snack. But every now and then these drinking nights come in and ignore all the rules lol

Idk, but whenever I’m hungover (or drunk) I absolutely crave fat salty food like this. And it seems to alleviate my hangover faster as well. Maybe something to do with salt helping with taking in more fluids or that there is a salt shortage after drinking a lot?

They also say “and reinterpret in base 10”. I.e. interpret the base 2 number as a base 10 number (which could theoretically contain 2,3,4,etc). So 10 in that number represents decimal 10 and not binary 10

For real. It’s so annoying. I’ll waste more time by procrastinating than it actually takes to do the thing. Every switch costs so much energy

Are people really this dramatic? There are plenty of conventions at work that we don’t like but just accept. We’ll moan about it every now and then (looking at you “only one return statement per method”), but in the end we’ll just accept that any standard is better than total mayhem and anarchy. Usually I write the code in a way that makes sense to me and then just tidy it up to satisfy the angry rule machine. Having moet of the code in the same format makes it easier to follow, and the code that was written before these rules has me convinced that this whole thing is am improvement.

Isn’t that better anyway? Inheritance makes the world less fair, as children of rich parents will get a huge advantage. If that money is instead spent, it hopefully distributes over society again instead if staying in the rich families.

It’s obviously not that black and white, getting some money is a great help to you get people. And obviously a parent will want to help their children, that’s totally fair. But as a larger trend it doesn’t seem like a bad thing to me.

I was born in the mid-90’s and I was also more or less raised that way (until a certain age). I remember being able to get home in time for dinner after a whole day of playing outside just because it “felt” like it was almost dinner time. We would go to the nearby “forest” where we built huts, climbed into trees, made wooden swords out of sticks, and sometimes had “battles” with rivaling groups about certain areas in the forest. We’d be there for hours even in the pouring rain. There was a whole economy around these wooden swords and other services like building a hut. It was better than any video game ever could be

Uhh am I misinterpreting what “a day off” means? If I take a day off the I so whatever I please. Why would my employer care? When I worked at the store I’d still visit the store on my off days. And at my current work I’d absolutely share it whenever I did something nice on my day off. Or do you mean sick leave or something?

Ugh day ruined. Well y’all better enjoy it then. But please don’t tell me

I think we agree yeah. More progressive people will be more open to challenge their “inertia” with new ideas that they believe are right. I think more conservative people give in more to the feeling of these “new” ideas being “wrong”. That doesn’t mean that more progressive people don’t feel those same feelings. I’m in my early 30s and I notice that I do start to struggle more with the difference between what I was taught (and thus what I subconsciously sometimes feel) and how I perceive the world now from a logical perspective. I strongly support people being trans or non-binary because I feel like it makes the world a better place, but deep inside there’s still some part that feels like it’s wrong for people to deviate from the gender rules I’ve been fed from birth.

It’s funny how autistic people are so different. This is definitely seen as an autism trait, yet I’m autistic and I get bored of listening to something multiple times quite quickly. I require variation. Hearing a song 10 times in a week is already pushing it

They’re conservative. The whole name is based on the principle that they want to maintain the old way rather than progress. I think it stems from fear of a changing world. The old world with the old rules provided safety, it was understandable, the rules were clear, and the rules didn’t hurt them. Now some people are “attacking” their world, their rules, everything that offers them safety and understanding. So they feel attacked.

It’s the same thing, but with another subject every time. Whether it is women getting rights, which threatens their safe world with clear gender roles. Or gay people, who threaten the simple rules like “boys love girls”, “in order to be successful, get a job, marry, and get kids”. Or non-white people getting rights. What if they vote for things that “we” don’t want? What if “they” ruin the world that “we” got so used to.

Trans and especially non-binary people are just the next group in line that threatens their simple world. When men are people born as men and women are people born as women, it’s way easier to force people into the traditional roles. The old rules still work, “boy marries girl, gets kids”. And when they speak out about their "concerns* they are (rightfully) called out for it. So they become defensive and start doing whatever they’re doing now.

Mice and scissors that can be used in both left and right hands are oppression by the woke communists!!!1! All part of the WEF plan (sponsored by Soros) to make everyone ambidextrous and to destroy our right-hand supremacy! Bill Gates put secret nanobots in the vaccines to make us more left-handed. Wake up, don’t believe what the fake news media tells you!

(/s, though I hope that was clear)

Honestly, however much I want to pretend to be better than that, I think it does work on me. Obviously not on a conscious level, I know how numbers work, but some part of my monkey brain sees the 1 instead of the 2 and therefore concludes that it must be way cheaper. It’s a feeling that no amount of facts is going to disable. And in the end many purchasing decisions aren’t based on a full analysis but on feelings.

I used to at lemmy.world, but my current instance doesn’t seem to accept donations.
