And now it will be in mine as well. So thanks for that.

I already had the others, but I am fucking adding “slam” right now. I should probably add a few others while I’m at it.

I use a client with keyword filters implemented (Thunder on Android) and while I still see some every day, it isnt every single post like it seems when unfiltered.

you also get the safe space to release your fears and anxieties

I literally feel anxious reading this sentence. Gah.

I dread this constantly.

A few months back I used self-checkout for a cart of groceries and instead of getting out my wallet to pay, I just got distracted and walked away…

When I got home, I was putting the groceries away and suddenly realized I didnt remember paying. Panic attack time. I was so sure of this that I called my wife at work and asked her what to do (I am not able to be rational when panicked.)

So I drive back to the store and tell the Customer Service desk that I think I walked off without paying. They literally didnt believe me, but humored me after I insisted. Eventually they located the Store Manager. 30 seconds after she showed up, she had my order pulled up, confirmed it was me and then had me swipe my card.

That whole thing could have gone much worse in any number of other ways. This kind of shit happens to me all the time. Eventually I will end up dead or in jail because of this shit.

Fuck off. This community literally has just the one rule.

I get downvoted any time I make a comment that lets on I know things about guns.

Rolll that beautiful bean footage!

Holds up staff weapon

“This, is a weapon of terror. It’s made to intimidate the enemy.”

Casually tosses it aside and holds up P90

“This, is a weapon of war. It’s made to kill your enemy.”

Yeah, I meant for service rifles where typically accuracy isnt the top priority. Most people can learn to cope with it, even if your other eye is strongly dominant.

Everyone is different, but I have taught people to shoot and I am myself a strongly left-eye dominant righty. I have no problem with it for rifle with a magnified optic and I learned to deal with it for 1x red dot and irons. I had to cover my left eye with a patch or blacked out glasses lens to train my brain to deal with it, but it does work. I still prefer to cover one eye in some positions and situations.

I taught my family to shoot righty because it isnt that hard to shoot with your non-dominant hand and there are so many more options for right-handed rifles. IMO, for service rifles, it doesnt necessarily make sense to spend much engineering effort to accomodate 10% of users.

Now dont get me wrong: I sometimes switch sides for training, so I do appreciate ambidextrous controls on rifles and I detest shooting wrong-handed on some guns. I just dont think it needs to be a dealbreaker when you can train around it.

… right, but if you dont shoot lefty, that’s not a problem. That is my point. Just shoot “righty”. There isnt a good reason not to unless you are mostly blind in the right eye or otherwise impaired on the right.

I’ll be contrarian on this: For rifles, your eye dominance matters a lot more than which hand you use. Really you shouldnt be relying much on fine motor skills for it anyway. My southpawed family members just shoot like everyone else.

Dont get discouraged. Kids who sample or dabble in many interests are more likely to be top performers in their field later in life.

edit: I cant find the actual study at the moment, but it was covered on No Stupid Questions, so they will have provided a citation.

I rolled my foot and it created a compound fracture of that 5th metatarsal… since it still hurts in bad weather 30 years later, 5/7 would not recommend.

I learned about it on No Stupid Questions, a podcast by Stephen Dubner, the guy behind Freakonomics, and Angela Duckworth, who wrote “Grit.” I linked to Character Lab, which is/was a nonprofit by Duckworth and others at UPenn.

Katy Milkman, who coined the term temptation bundling, is a behavioral economist at Penn and often collaborates with Angela Duckworth. I also recommend Milkman’s recent book: “How to Change.”

This strategy is known as “temptation bundling.” It’s a thing. Amusingly, I learned about this because I was doing it (mowing the lawn + my favorite podcast.)

I feel personally attacked.

Yeap. Death’s-head hawkmoth

Theyre only an hour away for me. Not likely there is anyone on Lemmy from Calhoun, given their total population of only a bit more than 6000 people in the whole county.
