Your thoughts are valid. But that’s the thing - they’re just thoughts. They won’t hurt you and nobody will judge you for having them.

Thoughts and emotions flow in and out of your awareness for a reason. If you want to come to a decision, you have to first understand where your thoughts and emotions are coming from. You should analyze them objectively as they come without indulging them further. Kind of like analyzing why movie characters do the things they do but for yourself.

Why do you feel like you don’t deserve a boyfriend? Why do you feel like you’re gross? What do you think is causing these feelings?

how absurd

in other words, a hammer “got absolutely wrecked” by a handsaw in a board-halving competition

i have a vague overview. care to share?

yesss, Rodriguez is so good. his lyrics are not only meaningful, but casual and relatable. broached real topics with such grace, it’s a real shame he’s not more well known. hate street dialogue is my favorite of his

you’re completely right dude. and the downvotes of users who were disaffected by this post prove it.

i find that the reason this attitude is so prevalent on lemmy is because, well, lemmy is perceived as the niche place for cool kids whereas reddit is perceived as the forum for normies. a lot of users here get a superiority complex solely from not being reddit. add that to the fact that the majority of users here are highly technical and take pride in their expertise… you get the idea.

this attitude then belies every discussion that happens on this platform. comments that insist that you should “just” do something only exist to communicate the user’s belief that their way is better than any other way.

use that body wash, take road trips, and crank that thermostat if it makes you happy. nobody gets to govern you and you’re not obligated to listen to them.

hey my dude, you have an interesting post history. what inspires your posts? care to share your story?

the EPA announced they’re rolling back regulations on forever chemicals today. the crew behind veritasium timed the release of this video so perfectly that i can’t help but wonder if they held it in the backlog waiting for this admin’s EPA to do some dumb shit.

any chance we could move that to next week?

it’s not a point of US defaultism, it’s that nobody in our respective social circles can give a shit about wrestling lol

“way to be yourself” is a great backhanded compliment haha

first time i’ve ever heard of “permission culture,” what’s that? i’d guess by the name that it’s a bunch of people who ask permission to do anything, but calling it a culture sounds wild lol

this person is literally a child lol

have you found any negatives that would potentially turn an average user off of linux? i’m strongly debating moving to mint, so i don’t want to accidentally overlook something that might be a dealbreaker
