I had the same thought about therapy. Like who says that’s a dopamine source? Feels like they just added random activities here. How about ice skating or baking as well?

What do you mean beyond terrified? Like not terrified?

I used spotify for a few months about 10 years ago until they doubled their price and removed songs that I had saved in playlists. Since then I haven’t bothered with streaming.

You might benefit from practicing self-compassion

Ootko sä oikeasti tosissasi? Vaikutat trollilta tai muuten vaan toopelta. Kyse ei ole vuosikymmeniin ollut mistään “sodasta” vaan ihan etnisestä puhdistuksesta. Taidat hakea kommenteillasi vain huomiota ja vastakkainasettelua

Is that how you see the genocide in Gaza? That Israel is being “attacked by evil entity with fake justification”?

Would be really cool to hear any insider takes of locals or employees at the plant. I recoil at the recent ICE crackdowns but this does whiff of human trafficing at first glance.

I didn’t find any estimates of participation count in the demonstration that day. On one hand, I’m glad to see some Israeli resistance, on the other it still feels very muted considering the urgency and need of the Gaza locals.

I believe in balancing quotas and rebuilding social structures to be more inclusive. That’s something that takes several generations to bear fruit.

Shaming or bullying anyone for what kind of body or privilege they were born into is where I draw the line.

They could’ve included in the title the amount of cybertrucks (2). Smells like clickbait

This article was right up my alley. I’ve been considering buying a cheapo smartwatch. I suppose this one couldn’t be used as a mp3 player for jogging though.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature

Glad to hear I’m not alone with these thoughts!

I propose, as a counter movement, automatic engagement; Instead of “liking” or “upvoting”, leave a comment every time you see something you support. And try to abstain from commenting on ragebait or otherwise intentional attention seeking. If enough people start doing this, the algorithm should start adapting to prefering more substantial or positive material, right? I know it sounds naive, but worth a shot!

Interesting to see what kind of a press statement Trump will put out as an excuse for not having a peace deal and for not following through with his threats

There was a hint of a possible motive though: "He was travelling with his brother, Kathiruddin, on horseback on the day he went missing. Police said a family feud had forced the two men to leave their home. " But yeah, seems like a pretty plausible accident.

I understand what you mean, and agree that not everything needs to be put in words. At the same time though, it’s really healthy to expose yourself to others even if you just write “I like the way you formulated this.” or “Makes sense, I hadn’t thought of it like this before”. That way it turns into a real discussion - a bit like in the real 3d world.

Up/ downvoting is basically anonymous and adds nothing to the discussion.

And, sometimes, other users misunderstand our comments, and then we need to respond to them to get our point through. All of this is a healthy way to challenge our thinking.

The problem with regulation is that most of these data giants are US companies, and due to regulatory capture since the 1980s you can’t expect much to change there.

I’m no expert, but I feel like anywhere they use an algorithm to drive up “engagement” it leads into people being fed rage-bait and then them acting accordingly. This “attention economy” needs to end somehow.

How about routine?

Like, first thing every morning - brush your teeth, make your bed. Every thursday evening - clean your flat. Tuesday at 6pm - check with your closest friends if they have weekend plans.
