I’m not saying mindfulness can’t have serious benefits. However, I would caution anyone who’s into it to read the book McMindfulness. A lot of the “science” behind it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, there can be genuine drawbacks to it, and it’s often used in unethical ways–like to make CEOs of ruthless companies more able to shove aside their feelings of guilt, or to sharpen the minds of soldiers for killing.

if MODERATORS are landed gentry, what the fuck does that make rich bastards like him?

as a woke leftist, i hate tankies because y’all aren’t leftists in any meaningful sense. the only difference between you and libs is which countries whose atrocities you justify.

i’ve read marx. at precisely no point does he say anything justifying the various atrocities state capitalist countries have committed. i think he’s wrong about some stuff, but even if you accept that his word is gospel, tankies are still just people who took leftist principles as an excuse for the imposing the kind of brutal authoritarianism that leftists are supposed to be against.

you’re acting like this is some kind of new thing. it’s not. trans kids have already been using puberty blockers, and it’s been fine. it’s only new to people like you who didn’t care one way or the other about trans people until you were told they were on the wrong side of the culture war.

just don’t get married then. christ. we need an /r/arethestraightsokay.

unlike cigarettes, trans kids getting healthcare hurts no one. bad post op

I’d love to help you figure this out, but your second link takes me to a 502 error.

Anyway, my guess is that one instance you’re on federates with certain instances, and one does not. So if you’re on instance A and B, A federates with C, but B does not, so from B you won’t see comments from C. But I admittedly don’t know what the differences are between the comment sections you’re seeing, so I could be completely wrong.

Real talk: I don’t think there’s anything wrong with laying in bed all day long smoking pot and watching cartoons. If that’s what you want to do with your life, go for it. Life is for enjoying. The idea that someone’s life is only worthwhile if it has some greater purpose bothers me, and I say this as someone who considers my purpose in life to be making the world a better place. The world I want to build is one where we could all smoke pot and watch cartoons all day if we felt like it.

I’m probably going to keep using both regardless, though I may cut back significantly on my reddit use.

You’re doing the lord’s work.

Edit: I tried to post something, but the little circle just goes forever.

Litely red supremacy.

This was what finally worked for me. Searching for the full URL didn’t do it, but searching for !test@lemmy.ml did.

you’ve been sucked into the Vortex Of Unlimited Meetings

I do it from the bottom. It’s much easier that way.

I think that if you feel you must clean them, you’re supposed to use some kind of water pick or something, but you’re not really supposed to clean them much at all.

I hold a pencil wrong. I’ve done it this way my whole life. I used to have a callus from it, too.

You are not supposed to use q-tips to clean your ears. But if it’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

You’re the ones who don’t understand that socialism means worker ownership of the means of production, not state ownership of the means of production.

Combating CSAM is great and all, but something tells me this will also be used for far more sinister purposes.
