Well…I am only one person, but if it adds to anything, I have literally never cared. Not when I first got internet as a pre teen and not now.

No prob lol. Hope that satisfied whatever hypothesis you had!!

Am I missing something or are you conflating two different issues? Why isn’t anyone saying anything about this?

Password security and internet privacy are totally independent issues. I obviously don’t want random people to be able to log into my bank account and steal my money.

But I’m sorry, I’m one of those people who don’t care about “privacy”, even after reading all of your comments here. Everyone is keen on using “slippery slope” sentiments like “suddenly the government is going to go after you for 3D printing” or “suddenly the government is going to throw you in jail for chronically going little bit over the speed limit” or even that the government is going to hunt you down for using Lemmy.

It’s like well…yes…those are technically within the realm of possibility. I’ll give you that. But is it likely to ever happen? No, not really. Some of us are ok with that probability. It’s ok if you aren’t. But it’s ok for those of us that are.

Most people on Lemmy read as doomsday preppers to me. I’d wager many here are preppers. You have to understand how outside the norm you guys all are and how outside the likelihood of what you’re saying can be. Check out some prepper communities if you’re interested in what I see in you all.

I hope this doesn’t offend anyone. I also just hope that you can see why it’s ok to let non-preppers continue to be non-preppers. Idk.

I feel like I need to buy some of those lights where you can choose the colors and just have them year round.

February - red, pink, white

March - green

October - orange or purple or a combo

November - red and orange?

December - red and green

And then other months just go with your vibe.

I also found this to be odd.

Obviously anyone could donate their entire earnings to charity, but it doesn’t really make sense for the self. Why is he donating all of it instead of donating some and keeping some? Whose idea was this?

Literally same. Luckily I had managed to avoid thinking of it beyond my teen years for a good decade. But it has come back worse than ever when I recently started listening to a podcast about some philosophy.

It’s fucking terrifying and depressing. Anyone who doesn’t believe in an afterlife but says it’s not terrifying and depressing is taking mega levels of copium.

At one point recently I remember I was walking around in public doing a bit of people watching and I was like holy fucking shit everyone is just walking around like this is nothing. Everyone is gonna die but we have all this random bullshit everyone is doing not realizing it’s gonna end. Idk.

Lmao the thought had crossed my mind but they are so good! At least I don’t have any more! I am also on a med that reduces your ability to metabolize caffeine so it’s even worse!!!

Yeah the weird people that are outright forcing themselves to drink a specific excess volume of water per day are pretty wild to me.

I don’t get it. Can someone help a stupid person out?

I bought some of these yesterday and can’t stop eating them. They are like fucking crack to me. So delicious.

Update: I ate them all

Lol true that it’s ridiculous but at least you can change this back to being the power button in the settings!!

I have to say, I felt the same until I got my first pair of wireless earbuds. Idk if I’m just clumsy, but I always managed to get headphone cables caught on things or I would like forget I was plugged into my computer or something and try to get up. I would get snagged on door handles and it would frequently rip the headphones off/out of my ears.

And oh my God when this stopped happening with wireless buds I was amazed at my freedom of movement and lack of being infuriated lmaooo. It felt so amazing.

I know that like for gaming, the slight delay in wireless buds isn’t really going to cut it for most, though.

There are other downsides too, obviously, but I finally understood what all of the fuss was about with wireless headphones/earbuds. I don’t miss wired anymore.

Lol!! Believe it or not, I hate cutting my food!

Because…

1. I’m lazy
2. When you’re used to using ultra sharp knives, things like steak knives feel so incredibly dull that it’s infuriating/“difficult”. At work, I go through scalpel blades like candy. A sharp blade is always key for my work!

I get every organ or piece of tissue that is removed from you during surgery. I cut up the tissue so it can be made into slides for the pathologist (a type of physician) to render a diagnosis.

Regularly use for work? Scalpel blades. My job would be essentially impossible without them.

Thank you!

Glad it’s working for you! I’m seeing two therapists concurrently right now (“cheating” on my old therapist with a side hustle lmao) until the end of the year because I’ve met my deductible. Then I’m gonna figure out who I want to drop.

I have appreciated my old therapist for getting me through a crisis, but I’ve just stagnated and don’t feel like I’m getting enough direction and guidance and specific things to help me. Her therapy style is more “big picture” and generalized if that makes sense, without giving me a lot of specific techniques to help me.

My work has threatened to fire me if I can’t get my shit together so I really want to make more progress.

The new one wants me to work through an extensive DBT workbook over time that gives very specific techniques to use. Then each session we kind of talk about my week and go over what I think worked and didn’t work in the book. Her input is not overly substantial, but I do like how the book can give me more direct techniques and potentially more progress idk.

So I’m considering dropping my old therapist but I feel some type of way about it.

Idk sorry you probably don’t care about me blabbering on lol.

Well…if you have anxiety, CBT is supposed to be the primary therapy modality for that lol.

What specific issue are you looking to address? If you figure that out, you can find out which therapy modalities are shown to work best for it.

How quickly it “starts to work” is entirely dependent on a) How honest you are, b) how open you are to outside perspectives, and c) how much baggage you’ve got to unpack.

More caveats to this…other things I’ve found…

1. If you don’t know what specific issue you need to work on, it may not even “work” at all. You’ll need to introspect and research and /or even seek others’ input if you don’t know already.
2. A lot of therapist I’ve come across, especially in online organizations, seem keen on using unstructured talk therapy. It can be great for basic validation, but not if you have more significant and complex issues. If you know your specific issue, it might help to research what kind of therapy modality works best for it. Then, look for therapists who use said modality and who have treated said condition.

I learned these things the hard way.
