  • Why do people indoors at public places always listen to their phone at full volume?

  • This makes me so irrationally angry. Where I live it's usually just 12 year old kids on the bus who forgot headphones but still want to listen to the narration of the world's shittiest tiktok videos rather than reading the captions. It's fine. I'm fine. Everything is fine.

  • You have no idea how careful I was every time I typed it out lol

  • After you blow your nose, do you look in the tissue?

  • Lots of people talking about monitoring health, I just look because I'm curious lol

  • good desktop and android notes app

    Jump

  • I'd second Joplin. They have lots of good sync options, including their own (pretty cheap) service. I just use the android app to read notes, but I agree it's pretty clunky to take notes on android.

  • In mormonism if you don't do their special ceremonies and have multiple wives, you lose your dick for eternity. I learned that in Sunday school when I was 12 lol.

  • Loops finally sent out emails: I have early access

  • I'm not sure popular is the biggest goal right now. It would definitely be nice for federated platforms to gain a bigger user base, but while the tools are growing, it's really inspiring just to think that people are willing to invest the (low or no profit) time and energy into making the internet a nicer place.

  • That's kind of the idea. I miss the originality of old systems, but it seems like a lot of developers are prioritizing consistency and learnability for the sake of accessibility.

  • My grandma (decades ago) always went the other way, she wrote "Mr. Sarah Smith" for my grandpa's name. Feminist icon.

  • What’s a hobby you suggest everyone should take up to improve their mental health?

    Jump

  • It depends a lot on the person, but it always does me good to do something tactile after working all day on a computer. Cooking, baking, sketching, woodworking, Legos, hiking, that kind of thing. I've noticed it really helps me ground and be mindful.

  • Meta fed its AI on almost everything you’ve posted publicly since 2007

  • Next version of Llama:

    "As an AI assistant, I am only able to provide radical conservative opinions"

  • What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?

    Jump

  • More than this it's just a good way to build regular hand washing into a routine. You already use a restroom a few times a day at fairly regular intervals, so you only have a few hours worth of microbes on your hands at a time.

  • What does this mean on Google Maps?

  • "We make more money from cars. We half assed the walking instructions. Good luck and fuck you."

  • Costco, Walmart pressured by Christian groups over abortion pill

    Jump

  • Thanks Christians, now I know 2 more retailers where I can obtain said pill should needs be.

  • I was made a humerous man...hopefully this doesn't send me south..

  • I was mormon. Thankfully my parents paid to traffic me, so I could afford to go to college and cut them off relatively soon after I got home.

  • I was threatened by local leaders and family if I didn't go on a 2 year mission in another country, then when I got there, they:

    • took my passport immediately and locked it in a building I couldn't access
    • required 12 to 16 hours of work a day, with discipline if productivity dropped
    • refused to provide adequate food or medical care
    • restricted my communication with my family
    • assigned me a companion to surveil me 24/7 and report disobedience to leadership (and assigned me to surveil someone else)
    • disciplined me when I was physically and sexually assaulted by other missionaries

    I didn't want to call it trafficking for a long time. I figured maybe God just had a weird way of doing things. But my spouse works at a recovery center for survivors of violence (including trafficking) and helped me realize that's what it was.

    A pretty big misconception is that trafficking has to look like selling slaves, and I agree that's an egregious thing, but it can be a lot more broad than that.

    There are a lot of resources at https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en if you're curious. My mission experience checked just about every box for labor trafficking, and I've heard very similar stories from a lot of other people who have been missionaries.

  • The church in the ad is particularly harmful. I had to fight to get out of it, and only after they took 10% of my income for years and trafficked me. They want money, power, and control, not increased numbers at their services.
