  • Please help me figure out how to actually DO therapy because I'm stupid (sorry, LONG)

    Jump

  • It took years before I started to see actual results with my therapist. Not that she isn’t a good therapist, but sometimes you literally have to work through one tiny problem at a time until you’re actually changing your daily actions consistently across the board.

  • Chia seeds are actually the goat in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. You don’t even taste them or feel them if you’re eating a sandwich with crunchy peanut butter or whole wheat bread. So you can load it up with tons and tons of chia.

  • STAR or 3-2-1 voting are both much much better options than Approval Voting. Please advocate for one of those two rather than Approval or RCV. Yes, Approval is much better than RCV, but we’re only going to get one chance to change voting systems. If it goes wrong locales will switch back and never try again.

  • Seems like a slightly clickbait title. Multiple people that were there are reporting that they were just going through traffic lights extremely slowly, since they’re 4 way stops when power is out.

  • A subscribed member of the community has the right to downvote poor quality content, whereas drive-by downvoting via All is something else altogether.

    Anyone has the right to downvote. Subscribing just means you want to see it in your subscribed feed, not that you somehow get more “rights” to vote. What a ridiculous notion.

    "mass downvoting" is a form of vote manipulation.

    No it is not. Get off your high horse. If I downvote every post from a specific user because it clearly doesn’t belong in a community, that is not vote manipulation. Yes it would be better if the content would get removed, but waiting for that to occur and in the meantime allowing upvotes to continue when people might not even realize the post is in the wrong community just warps what communities are for.

    This was readily apparent for years on Reddit (probably still is). People that don’t pay attention to what sub something is on, and then they just upvote it because they like it. It makes it to the top of the subreddit, more people see it, think that’s what the community is actually about, and then join it thus warping the actual intention of the community.

    Maximum friendliness would have been for OP to simply block the community, or perhaps the poster to it, and then not have to worry about seeing that low-quality content anymore. Instead, they seem to want the right to continue to downvote it despite not ever wanting to post or comment. But I am siding with the mod in this case that I might well ban someone for the same reason, if the only "contributions" they ever made were drive-by downvotes like that.

    I’ve made it clear why this is a terrible system.

  • Saying my frontpage has absolutely nothing to do with subscriptions… you can literally customize lemmy to show you All, Local, or Subscribed, or if you’re using an app you can customize it even more. It has nothing to do with being subscribed, that’s your ignorance making you believe something that wasn’t true.

    Also this has to be the trolliest comment in this thread. Downvoting spam and bad content is something that you absolutely should do.

  • Been a long time since I’ve seen it but would Rat Race go in any of these categories? Also you should totally make a letterboxd list, so I (and others) can automatically generate a collection in Jellyfin from your movie choices here.

  • I agree with everything you said. I tried the Sonic kart game recently and it just felt like a cheap knockoff of mario kart. Like yeah they added new stuff, but it wasn't fun. Idk how to explain it.

  • I'm not saying I don't understand them. I'm saying the syntax is terrible. Compare it to Ruby (or any other modern language) and it's abundantly clear.

    python (uses syntax not available in any other top 25 language)

     
        
print([j**2 for j in [2, 3, 4, 5]]) # => [4, 9, 16, 25]

    ruby (normal chain syntax with map)

     
        
puts [2, 3, 4, 5].map{|j| j**2}

    even kotlin is more readable, even though you have to convert to a double and back kotlin

     
        
val list = listOf(1,2,3,4)
println(list.map{it.toDouble().pow(2.0).toInt()})

    For nested cases it's even more apparent:

    python

     
        
digits = [1, 2, 3]
chars = ['a', 'b', 'c']    
print([str(d)+ch for d in digits for ch in chars if d >= 2 if ch == 'a'])    
# => ['2a', '3a']

    ruby

     
        
digits = [1, 2, 3]
chars = ['a', 'b', 'c']   
digits.product(chars).select{ |d, ch| d >= 2 && ch == 'a' }.map(&:join)

    kotlin

     
        
val digits = listOf(1, 2, 3)
val chars = listOf('a', 'b', 'c')
println(digits.flatMap { d ->
    chars.filter { ch -> d >= 2 && ch == 'a' }.map { ch -> "${d}${ch}" }})

    just from a base level, you have to read the middle of the comprehension first, then the end, then the beginning. It's a completely backwards way to write and read code. unlike other languages that use a 'functional' approach, where it's chained methods or pipes, etc. Even Elixir, which does have list comprehensions, reads and writes in the proper order:

    elixir

     
        
for x <- 0..100, x * x > 3, do: x * 2

  • That was with an essentially infinite supply of people to sell to. There’s only 10k of these things, and putting it on the internet insures that you’re only going to get an incredibly small fraction of the gold sold back to gold stores.

  • If there’s only 10k of them, you would definitely make more money collecting those yourself. Putting it on the internet like that ensures that every gold store in the country starts getting those.
