Man that sucks. But it seems like you’re doing better these days, so that’s good.

Wait, what? Are you saying you actively don’t like music? I mean i can (kind of) understand if a person doesn’t really get a pleasure response from listening to music, but you’re saying listening to music actually gives you a displeasure response?? ALL music? It’s ok if that’s the case, you didn’t choose to have that response, but i just want to be clear that this is what you’re saying?

Just pirate the music you want as mp3 files directly on your phone. No computer required. And if you only have a small amount of storage on your phone you can download like a hundred songs and then delete the ones you’re tired of to make room for new ones, and if you ever wanna hear the old songs again you can just download them again.

I’m saying why even figure out a preference when both are good for everyone involved?

Both. Studies have shown that WFH actually INCREASES productivity, and other studies have shown that a 4 day work week doesn’t decrease productivity at all either. It sounds unlikely but it’s true. So both are a win-win for the worker and company alike.

From what I’ve heard on the internet, CPS will only take children away as a LAST option, not as a first one. There are all kinds of interventions that can happen before that, like mandating recurring surprise inspections, parenting classes, etc.

Yeah this has Bigger Problems written all over it. While it is useful to have a technical answer to this immediate problem, a method to barricading the door would at best be a delaying tactic. The actual problem will still exist, and there very likely will be retaliation like the mom completely removing the door.

Exactly. There are people who are open to reasonable discussion about certain topics and are willing to consider other possibilities and potentially change their minds, while other people are obstinate and unwilling to entertain other possibilities and won’t have an honest debate on the topic.

Talk to the people who you can have actual discussions with, and don’t waste your time on the people who would take herculean effort to even have them hear you.

Physical exercise. Run, lift weights, whatever. That’s what the adrenaline was designed to make happen, so make it happen and the energy will be exerted appropriately.

I have the opposite experience. YouTube is always pushing dumbass recommendations. I only go to YouTube when someone links to a video I’m interested in, say some neat demonstration of a old analog synthesizer, and there’ll be a couple of slightly interesting suggestions on synths, I’ll click on that and then the recommendations are like “Woah!!! Check out what happens when I stick a synth cable into my butt!!!” And it’s not because I ever watch videos like that, in fact that shit is what makes me close the YouTube window and never go back until some other website links me directly to an actually good video again.

What’s the specific meaning of the insult? Maybe we can think of a good English equivalent.

That first one seems like it translates to klutz

That has nothing to do with ADHD.

This is the correct answer. It’s a complete lack of experiencing anything. Not black, not darkness, but simply nothing. Before the general anesthesia you’ll feel high, and when you’re coming out of the general anesthesia you’ll be groggier than you’ve ever been in your life, but the time during general anesthesia simply won’t exist for you.

I have burned cds and dvds from much longer ago than 10 years and they’re still perfect when i go to get something from them.

You can do backups that span many disks. Optical Media is much longer lasting than magnetic media.

Agreed, the purpose of sending someone a file is so they can use it, so you should send it to them in whatever format makes that happen most easily. Is it more important for you to spend your and their time collaborating on the content, or is it more important to evangelize a different compression format?

iirc the new EU law that apple is responding to doesn’t say that a mobile device can’t have a proprietary port, rather it says that a mobile device must have a USB-C port for charging. But i might be wrong about that.

tildes.net might be what you’re looking for. It’s a lot like kbin/lemmy but no picture or video posts, almost entirely just text.
