    It could be fine in certain contexts - for example medical contexts - but I think an important distinction that made it stand out in your comment was that you used female for women but didn't use the equivalent "male" for men 😊

    I think it's more a reference to pausing the doom scrolling which is maybe a habit to avoid the boredom or discomfort of the current situation, and trying to focus on enjoying that. Enjoying your time eating lunch or dinner, and focusing on that, instead of scrolling or watching a video always. Enjoying a walk without a podcast or music. Enjoying the comfort of being safe and warm in bed instead of distracting from thoughts. Things like that. It's a skill you build and as you build it you will be more open to getting dopamine from sources other than doomscrolling. Other benefits include being able to manage uncomfortable thoughts and feelings better and also have the boredom and discomfort drive you to do other things. Of course this works best when paired with things like DBT skills to help with thoughts and emotions.

    I KNOW it's not good, I KNOW my shtummy will hurt after, but I don't remember ever trying taco bell in my life and I am so insanely curious about it. There are none nearby where I live and I don't drive. It's been ages that I've had this burning curiosity. I already decided that once I get to go I will be ordering a crunchwrap (idk the menu but this is the item I hear the most people talk about).

    Please note the original link is NOT spoiler free. I was really disappointed since the movie descriptions were great and I was collecting these to watch, but I got to "Good Boy" and it literally has the "big twist" of the movie written out in bold.

    I'm autistic and I like the /s tag and other tone markers :(

    I think especially with sarcasm, the internet has such a wide mix of people that sometimes it can be very difficult to tell for sure if someone is being sarcastic or stupid.

    To be fair, I did pick up the sarcasm with decently high confidence in the original comment.

    Not trying to rag on you, but pretty much anyone can draw (barring fairly severe mental and or physical disabilities), you just place judgement on yourself that you can't draw "well". Which, by the way for a simple comic like this, you don't really need to draw well to express your idea well. I like that AI can help make the creation of things like this quick and easy for people, but I also encourage you to try things that you think you "can't do" and let go of that judgement you place on yourself for what it needs to be.

    I like the concept, I guess I'm just confused at why a higher intelligence roll would mean a "lower intelligence" as in you don't know what you're looking at, but I guess it's so that a lower intelligence roll is more potentially punishing?

    I don't live in Guelph, but I know a few who do, and have also briefly read from others complaints about the transit system in Guelph. Sure it's better than it is in some other places in Canada, but that's a looooow bar. Toronto has the best transit that I know in Ontario, and there's still a lot of shortcomings with it.

    Here's an article that gives a bit more info on Guelph transit system. It seems that there's some disagreement on whether it is actually "bad" or not in the article. To be fair, I'm biased as to what qualifies as a good transportation network, as most people from this community would be.

    It's spoken about in the video, but a woman called Kris that worked for Mr Beast had some controversy come about I think grooming children or being a pedophile (not sure about details). Mr Beast feigned ignorance about it, but the guy in the OP video claims it was an "open secret everybody knew". He also says it's even worse than "just" that because Mr Beast's company specifically works with understanding how to manipulate child psychology and bring children in, and videos etc have brought minors into easier access by Kris.

    You might be getting a lot of weird right wing shit because Kris is a trans woman and a common right wing accusation against trans people is that they are pedophiles.

    Need advice on new sensory friendly office shoes

    I just started interning and it's my first office job (Yay!) but most of the clothes I feel comfortable wearing are not really office attire. Especially shoes. I have no "appropriate" shoes because shoes have always been a particular source of sensory issues so I wear the same black pair of mesh trainers. I have to commute in a big city so I end up walking a decent amount, and shoes that are tight and/or heavy really mess with my focus. Do you guys have any advice on how to find comfortable shoes that are at least a bit more office appropriate? Maybe solid clean white sneakers? For reference I'm female.

    My dad's tomatoes! imgur.com

    My brother brought back some plants that the garden center gave him for free since it was end of season and they were very weak and almost dying. My dad's not a huge gardener at all but he watched some videos and set up a little station in the yard to plant them and water them. They're looking amazing so far and other than the plant the rabbits decided to dig up and steal (roots and all) they're all much healthier! He says he's gotten about three tomatoes so far and he loves it. Just posting to share and maybe get some tips on how to grow them easily (since he's busy) and when to know when they're ripe. There are a few different varieties but we're not sure which ones are which and how to tell when they're good to eat! When to fertilize, how to protect when weather gets cold, when to do so, etc.

    I'm unable to see the lists of posts I've made on desktop, mobile, and any of the mobile clients I've used. This goes for my accounts on both sh.itjust.works and Lemmy.world. I like seeing how my posts are doing or going back to read comments on there even if they've been marked as read. Could it be that it's not showing my posts because they've been marked as read and I've got settings to hide read posts? If so, seeing my own posts should be exempt from this setting. UPDATE: if I show read posts, I can see my posts. This is definitely something that should be fixed; show read posts settings should only apply on my feeds, not when I'm looking through a user's or my own post history

    just saying hi as a recent divorcee due to being childfree

    TL;DR at the bottom. I (24f) am going through the legal elements of a divorce but have been separated for a few months now. I loved my ex husband, but before marrying I made it clear I didn't want kids and didn't want him to wait or hope for me to change my mind. He agreed and told me he would be happy with me even if I never wanted kids. Just under a year ago he sat me down and told me he had been realizing more and more that he changed his mind and thinks he does want kids. I asked how long this had been happening, he said about a year. I already knew where this was headed, but thought I owed it to us to at least try. Months of therapy and thinking and talking and waiting for him to come to the same conclusion I had brought up to him and accepted pretty early on and we finally decided mutually that we would have to divorce. I didn't want him to stay with me and risk having any resentment towards me and feel unfulfilled, and I dont want kids. I don't know if I'll want them in the future, I don't think I will, but he wanted them ASAP so it was irrelevant anyways. At least the separation/divorce has been amicable, but it was (and sometimes still is) incredible difficult emotionally. I'm grateful that his family didn't guilt me when they learned of the reason for the divorce, though the reason he gave for me being childfree was medical reasons which is only kind of true. Still, at least I didn't get any flak for it from anybody. The guy I'm talking to now is vehemently childfree and it's great being able to freely make faces about or feel annoyed by children, not want to go to baby showers or baby birthday parties, and all other things that I used to feel alone in with my ex husband (and made me wonder for a while if he was truly childfree like me). Not to say you have to dislike children to be childfree, but I would often get a weird look about my attitude and discomfort around children. I was never active on the subreddit but I'm making more of an effort to be active in the communities on Lemmy, so I guess hi everyone! How are you? Anybody here with a similar story? TL;DR My husband changed his mind and I didn't so now I'm a 24 year old divorcée introducing myself and my story being childfree :)
