Ask Lemmy

Today, for the first time on Lemmy, I received a message about posting being forbidden from VPNs.

Does the post live on forever in other lemmy versions?

In my head libertarians are the right and anarchists are the left but they are similar in ideals (little to no government intervention). At least in the sense that if you talk to a libertarian I feel they tend to sound socially right and an anarchist tends to sound socially left. I have no idea if this makes sense at all. If you're going to tell me to read more, sure, recommend some literature though.

Back before it was bought out, Jersey Mikes used to make the best tuna salad sub I’ve ever had. Does anyone remember the recipe? I’ve gotten close once. I think it was chunk light tuna, and way more mayo than seems reasonable. Given its Atlantic City roots, I assume it was Hellmann's and not Duke's or Kewpie. Were there any other ingredients?

I called it quits with my boyfriend today on a video call. It had been brewing for a while, and the breakup was very amicable. Instead of feeling angry or sad, I actually feel fresh and excited. I think it’s because we got into the relationship very quickly, and I never really got the chance to explore or “play the field.”

This seems like such a simple thing to me, and yet the US just can't seem to get it done. What are the issues preventing this?

I work a very strange rotating schedule so breakfast, lunch and dinner aren't really a thing for me. That said, I treat the final meal of the day as my most important and largest.

This was the first movie made by Quentin Tarantino that I watched. I didn't know anything about the movie, apart from a handful of references I observed from memes.

The story was undoubtedly different from other movies yet in a way still entertaining. However I am unbeknownst to what the actual plot of this movie was supposed to be nor what was special about it to be considered so popular. Does the fact that it deviates from traditional storytelling in itself act as a selling point?

I was chatting with my parents last night, and they said that since we’re stuck in Switzerland and I seem quite bored, and since I’m a legal adult now, why don’t I go on a trip abroad alone? I’m considering it, but I’ve never traveled solo before, so I don’t know.

To me it shouldn't matter, but it feels weird having the bathroom door open all the time. Also my shower sometimes does a midnight clunk for no obvious reason and it's loud.

I never really thought about it until now, since I've never lived in a "master bedroom" with attached bathroom until now. Still on the fence, leaning towards keeping it open for convenience and airflow/dehumidification more than anything. Obviously I shut it after things get smelly.

For me it's saying, "we can't joke about anything anymore". Sirens go off immediately 🚨

I have this scene in my head that goes something like this:

Mom: "Good night, my lovely son"

30 minutes later

Mom quietly enters my room

Pets me on my head for a good few seconds

Suddenly pulls out a knife and stabs me

I struggle to say with my last breath: "Mooommmm... why? 🥺"

Does anyone else have a brain that just think weird shit like this?

When it comes to privacy, one of the first things people mention is threat modeling. However, searching up how to do threat modelling shows me results targeted at people with some technical knowledge.

I am unfortunately not one of those people. So I'm left wondering how a non-technical person can come to develop a threat model. Is this even possible? If not, how much would I need to dedicate to develop the technical skills needed to create one? Which ones would be beneficial to focus on? And, since I imagine one can develop those skills indefinitely, what are the different stages one might expect to reach and what would be important to reach each one?

Maybe I'm asking for a deeper guide than can be answered on Lemmy. If so, I hope it'll at least inspire someone to write that guide.

I always have had this dichotomy. First off, I have moderate ADHD (don't we all on Lemmy, ha!) And am a maximalist, meaning I like stuff. Having stuff that does something (video games, PCs, TVs, cars, motorcycles, audio gear etc) or enables me to do things (tools, climbing gear, cheese press, etc). I'm maybe a mild hoarder, but to be fair if I have something collecting dust I give it away or sell it to someone who can enjoy it. I don't keep garbage (don't all hoarders say this? Oh boy..)

If its not obvious, I do a ton of shit. I often look at it as, "well, life is finite so I'm going to do all I possibly can before I'm not able to/the world ends".

The issue is twofold. One is, guilt. "Do I really need this stuff? Do I need another video game? Do I need to plan for another shed for garden items or is what i have just fine?"

Secondly, it makes it hard to relax. Sure, I can chill and sit and read and listen to music sometimes, but I'm always thinking, life is draining away, everything is getting worse and more expensive, I really should be finishing projects and getting stuff done before something bad happens"

Then you see all those psycho linked in folk who are always talking about bettering yourself and getting up at 5 am every day to go for a run. That's not me. But then i wonder if I'm not living up to my potential.

If this sounds like a first world problem, it is. I'm very spoiled. I work 65 hours a week but its a fine job. A little boring (maybe thats why i feel underutilized, my brain likes to go full speed) but I'm not in the mines or anything. I know MANY others have it far far worse.

Firstly, art and creativity are turning into a kind of Lego constructor with minimal value, and secondly, it is becoming more and more difficult to trust the news, because AI makes better and better deepfakes; Thirdly, people, for example, I have a friend on the Internet, but due to the frequent use of AI, he has become quite apathetic, I try to support him and somehow help him, as I did before, but more and more often he just ignores me and brushes me off with a simple thank you or bye, and if we communicate, then not for long, since he does not listen to me, but usually he shows me masterpieces or memes that he has generated with the help of AI, calling it real art, honestly, it is more and more unpleasant for me to communicate with him.

I hope I explained clearly, sorry, the exact explanations are not about me.

I am new here and I know that Reddit made Fosscad leave, but I need to find someone that can do cad work for me. I am a licensed FFL with SOT located in Northern Virginia.

Let's say if we were to meat someone from a different universe where things never die, how would you explain death to them?
