Seconded. Commercialism and monetizing everything is what caused the www to rot. We don’t need it here. Neoliberalism has already robbed generations of the right to simply exist or create without a profit motive, among other things, like literacy. Pretty sick of it.
YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO PAUSE ANY PRODUCTION RIGHT NOW!
Thinking about it, it might actually be beneficial. There’s a number of orders that were put on hold due to the MAX clusterfuck.
That’s one of the awesome things, at least with my local library, which is about a 5-10min walk from where I live. Nearly every service that they offer is available online, if you have a card. The card is free and the only time that I’ve had to go in in-person was to verify my address.
While I was there the librarian even walked my through apps that are useful for managing digital loans, etc. Libby being the one most useful for ebook and audiobook loans.
The public library is also free and accessible via the Internet. And it has awesome librarians that I can reach out to if need be. Additionally, utilizing the library’s resources can help demonstrate their demand and justify budget allocation.
Through the Internet. I just needed a library card to log in, which I was able to sign up for through the Internet as well (did have to bring evidence of residency in to have it fully instated).
Purple is not a wavelength of visible light. It is a mixture of blue and red. However, it does look a lot like violet, which is a range of wavelengths of visible light.
you’re going to need more than an internet connrection.
Absolutely. Chances are that what you need is a library card from your local public library. When trying to learn more about graphene semiconductors, I couldn’t find the paper that was referenced in articles anywhere that wasn’t paywalled. After a contemplating for a while I checked my library’s site and, sure enough, they offer free, searchable access to academic journals.
I’m on an extended hiatus from riding motorcycles, after getting sideswiped on the highway by an SUV. My minimal injuries and likely survival, I owe to my gear.
My criteria for selection started with looking at available standards for protective gear. In the case of motorcycle PPE, the EU generally has the best safety requirements, so, I’d generally select gear certified to the highest CE standards. My gear pieces were:
Things that I think would have helped more:
For your case, I would recommend looking into dirt bike or ADV PPE. The sort of protection that you’re looking for should be somewhat similar. An extra bonus is that you can likely wear body armor under your normal horseback gear (might need to size up). The technological advancements for impact armor this century are just amazing.
The few times I’ve let it out in front of a girlfriend though have been the beginning of the end of the relationship. It’s like they immediately lost their attraction to me when they saw me cry.
I’m very sorry to hear that. It may be that they did not have the emotional and social maturity to process it well. Or, maybe your expression did not come across in the way that you thought.
Regarding the part about feelings, what should we be doing when we understand our feelings?
This is one that I can’t answer as an expert, both because I am not a mental health professional and because I struggle with my emotions a bit due to my ADHD and maladaptive coping mechanisms to deal with childhood trauma. But, therapy has helped significantly and I will always suggest it to anyone who is able to access it.
What I can offer, though, are some tools, theory, and suggestions that have been helpful for me so far:
Find a good Feelings/Emotion Wheel. So far, I like the ones patterned after the Junto Institute as it delves into the nuance of emotions that we experience.
How do you use it? Well, there are a lot of different approaches. What I find helpful is looking at it from time to time to “look at the map” and thinking about times when I have experienced intense emotions, using the Wheel to better draw out more precisely what I was feeling. This exercise generally also goes into exploring why I was feeling that way and contemplating what ways I could act in order to express the identified emotion in a manner that is both genuine and constructive (I am much more comfortable with logic than emotionality).
When it comes to interpersonal expression of one’s emotions, one can try the same thing with a bit of extra roleplaying. First, I might walk through how I was feeling and how I expressed it, then pretend that I am the person who I expressed it to and try to identify how I would feel in their place and why (every other person is another human being with their own hopes, dreams, desires, and emotions).
An extremely important thing to keep in mind when working through past experiences is to be kind to your past self and past people that you interacted with. Malice is not a very common thing to encounter, so try not to assume it.
The idea, overall, is that by going through exercises like those, one builds their comfort and familiarity with their own emotions and are better able to self-regulate and express themselves in a manner that will lead to more healthy outcomes.
Going back to the first bit of yours that I quoted, if you did indeed express yourself in a healthy and appropriate fashion, splitting ways may have, in fact, been the healthiest outcome for you. Being with a partner that does not value you for who you are (our emotions are part of ourselves), is not something that is psychologically healthy or conducive to a stable relationship.
It’s sorta like being forever in high school. There’s gonna be drama.
That sounds awful.
And it has a pretty excellent stdlib.
I like Fira Code Mono w/ Nerd Font patch.
I’ve been on an SNRI for a bit now, specifically a synthetic metabolite variant. Surprisingly, for me, it has both an emotional feeling and a perceived physical sensation.
For the emotional, it’s kinda like wearing a climbing harness with a trustworthy belayer. Sure, sometimes life throws a bit of a curveball, causing me to lose my emotional purchase but, most of the time, it keeps me from falling into depressive thinking patterns. More recently I had some pretty rough stuff happen in my life, to put it lightly, that took me to to some pretty places but, I my little chemical belayer caught me before I went splat on the rocks and helped me to get out of the funk.
For the perceived sensation, it’s a bit hard to describe. At times throughout the day, I feel a sensation that is kinda like a tingling on the inside of my skull. It’s a bit weird but much better than brain zaps.
Are you meaning to imply that people with a likely pathological obsession for obtaining and exercising power over others might be driven to seek greater and greater levels of power disparity such as leveraging their position, influence, and money to exploit those who, legally, can have ownership over none of those things and are psychologically and developmentally incapable of informed consent?
If so, all evidence appears to be pointing towards you being correct.
I think it would look something like “If I Was President” by Wyclef Jean. None of the world powers would suffer an anarchist to be in a position to make actual changes towards equity.
Came here for this. Thank you to you and your fellow Canadians (assuming based on instance) for bringing this treasure to the world.
Least Weasel. Super powers would be a human version of the weasel war dance and boundless energy for about 4 hours per day. Weaknesses would be my ADHD and sleeping 20hrs per day.
(People on lemmy are way too nice. I love that, but I miss old fashioned trolling here. It’s just part of the internet for me.)
Hey, Fucko. While I also miss that a bit, I find the positivity that I encounter more in the Fediverse to be much better for my mental and emotional health. Plus, it’s inconveniencing you in particular 💕.
