Your lack of hope/resignation is a tool against you (and against all of us).


I had panic attacks just before start working, and my productivity was quite low. I hope you don’t reach that kind of reaction before looking for help.


I want Lemmy to grow, without corporations’ grip, and without centralization.



I feel like it’s a set up for a joke.


Now I’m thinking about it, “make sense” to not have sound in your dreams. As your eyes are shut down, keeping your ears available to detect danger seems an advantage to be selected. And that fits with my experience where the sounds I can remember were real.

But there are others known examples of sound inside dreams: musicians! Many songs were written in dreams:

  • Yesterday (Beatles)
  • Purple Haze (Jimi Hendrix) [Inspired by a dream, not “composed” in a dream]
  • Sweet Dreams (Are made of this) (Eurythmics)
  • Devil’s Trill Sonata (Tartini)

OP, it’s fine to believe in whatever you feel like it, and IMHO ghosts and aliens are better beliefs than some other options.

With that said, I think it would be better to say that you believe those things and use the “not 100%” as a justification.

There is no way to gather all evidence about any topic, so we need to define what is acceptable as “enough” evidence and what “make sense” according to what we know; at least when we (as a society) talk about science.



It’s hard to express, but an example is the feeling that you suddenly know something, got an idea, an eureka moment. I’m saying that all thought is like that, but less… intense. And we use language to “register” that as what we usually call “think”; but we don’t need language to do that, it’s just easier with it.


You can think without language, or senses. It’s hard to perceive it, but when you talk inside your head, you are kinda “transcribing” that language-less thought.


Yes for sound. But the times I remember, the sound usually is something real that was integrated in the dream.


There’s no such thing as “without bias”. But I mostly agree.


This software was made by commies. You are welcome :)




“Ethical consumption” is fine, but have a very low impact: Most of environmental damage is related to corporations, not by population.

Information is key: To solve any problem, we need to understand it the best we can. So how climate change works? How human action is driving it? Who is responsible? And what are our options? Look for science communicators that reflect the scientific consensus, not the opinion of a small group.

Be aware of/with any “solutions” that is proposed by or also benefits big corporations and the billionaires that owns it. There is a lot of green-washing shit around.

Vote for politicians that have a solid green agenda. Votes matter, but in capitalism, it is not enough. The capitalist system is built to maximize profit over everything else, that’s what will happen if there’s nothing stopping it to happen. So political education and engagement makes difference.


That’s why I told about scientific community and press, it’s kinda their jobs to find lies.

Life without trusting anything/anyone seems hard to live.


“What can be told without evidence can be dismissed without evidence”

Until they back their claims with evidence open to the scientific community and press, that’s just smokescreen and diversion. The are more important things to care about right now.


Usually when politicians says “to protect children”, it’s not about children.
