Sounds like another way toxic people continue to divide us in our own relationships. My wife and I support each other emotionally during hard times. If it’s both of us, or one of us, our job is to be the support the other one needs so they have an easier time coping with it.

Your partner is your best friend. They’re not your therapist, they’re your other half. If you can’t be open, and honest with them - then what’s the point?

We even have laws which say Husbands/Wives can’t be forced to testify against one another because that bond is so strong that they share things that can’t be shared with anyone else.

As with anything though, you just openly discuss where that line is with your partner. Communication is key in any healthy relationship, and the moment you stop communicating or hiding things from one another - it just slowly slides downhill from there.

If they use that vulnerability as ammo against you - call them on it. Your SO is effectively, supposed to be the person you can trust more than your own self at times. If they aren’t that for you, you gotta decide where that sits in your heart.

I’m more concerned with the rapist felon running our country than men using women’s bathrooms. Women already use men’s bathrooms so…

I didn’t get what I wanted! WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

This is actually the reason behind the institute of christian marriage by the way. Since as a species we’re roughly 50:50 in terms of ratio, the idea behind 1 man having 6 wives, ultimately ends up with men that don’t have families. This is used by religions for war (die and you’ll get 12 virgins in heaven!) as well. By using religion and ultimately trying to pin it to 1:1 - that ultimately leaves men “providing” for their families, and by providing - I mean being a part of the workforce and “being productive” in the grand scheme of things. You’ll see lots more of this violence in cultures where there 1:many relationships. Most men strive for reproduction as an instinctual goal, and when that instinct is restricted or repressed, you get outbursts and violence.

Prostitutes kind of short-circuit this reward mechanism, the same way games cause many people to fail at achieving their own potential.

Ultimately, policies like this just end up allowing people to have more outlets to choose to not have children. That’s why you’re seeing attacks on reproductive rights right now; because population is leveling off and number must go up. So long as we continue to rely on number-go-up as a baseline for our society, things like this won’t be put into place.

I thought this was about EVE Online for a second…

Bro, GhatGPT wrote a better apology:

Dear Community,

Look, we know we sell little plastic figures—not games, not platforms, not anything remotely digital—but somehow, we’ve managed to trip over our own shoelaces and knock something precious to all of you right off the shelf. Yes, we’re talking about itch.io, and yes, we understand the gravity of what happened.

We’re not going to sugarcoat it: we messed up. We’re not entirely sure how the dominoes fell this way, but somehow, through a series of unfortunate events (and probably some poorly-thought-out legal maneuvers), our actions have impacted an entire community that thrives on creativity and passion. That was never our intention, and it’s not who we want to be.

The truth is, we’re sitting here staring at our little figures, wondering how something so small can lead to such a big screw-up. We know this affects you, and we’re genuinely sorry for the frustration, confusion, and anger we’ve caused.

We don’t expect forgiveness overnight, but please know we’re working hard to make this right. We’re talking to the people who actually know what they’re doing (because, let’s face it, we clearly don’t), and we’re committed to doing better moving forward.

We value this community more than you realize, even if we’ve done a poor job of showing it. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you’ll give us the chance to earn back your trust—not just with our figures, but with our actions.

Thankfully they didn’t find any evidence of it being used, but they promptly fixed the issues and informed everyone. Great example of amazing management.

Even families - watch one family member with wealth die, and watch them all clamor for the remains. Humanity is not selfless. Pretending so is purposely remaining blind and ignorant to humanity’s true nature. “In Group”, “Out Group”…doesn’t matter one bit.

Even within the “in group”, humans still show patterns of greed, dishonesty, etc. Con artists are a great example of this; people who will slip into the group and then work only for themselves.

Yeah, QWERTY was absolutely used to slow down typing as well, but it had a secondary function of spreading out the letters.

DVORAK just has the one function. It didn’t have to contend with other baggage. But it doesn’t mean QWERTY didn’t also have that goal. But since QWERTY handles the same goal that DVORAK does, reasonably well, it doesn’t hit the threshold needed for us to swap over.

Additionally, DVORAK is kind of nasty because it has all of the vowels on the left hand. I just picked a random word “Control” and most of the work is being done by the right hand; most of the time on the same finger row, which is horribly inefficient. Control on QWERTY is roughly equally left and right handed; not clusters of similarly used letters.

A common estimate of the ratio of vowels to consanants in the english language is 3:1 – So you’ll be doing 3x as much work on your right hand than with your left. Which makes DVORAK kind of garbage tbh.

Transfer rate is fucking phenomenal, but the latency is absolute trash.

I don’t know how many of you realize this, but our true “Humanity” is being the most violent, ruthless apes in the jungle. Just because we managed to become smart and then used smarts in our violence, doesn’t mean we’re not all still at the core, violent psychopathic apes.

We haven’t lost our humanity at all, it’s on full display for the world to see.

Our “civility” on the other hand, absolutely - is taking a back seat right now. But civility is a social construct.

Even if the mechanical linkage was the initial reason for the design, the design still holds value in basically spreading out the letters in such a way that it minimizes the need for fingers to be constantly used for the typical words that we use in the English language. You don’t want all the vowels to be on the left hand, for example, you want these letters spread out so that you get roughly even utilization of the fingers when typing.

endorsing criminal activity

Because now that wording, means anyone advocating for legalization of Marijuana falls under this umbrella.

As people we need to be able to voice our opinions on the legality and/or morality of certain laws. It’s a tricky thing to word correctly, while toeing the line of what is acceptable and what is not.

I think diversifying mods is a good idea.

Great, so then every post gets 10 chances to be incorrectly identified and culled? We don’t need diversity of opinion here, we need quite the opposite. We need a unification of opinion so that rules can be solidified around that.

Additionally, since lemmy.world remains federated with other instances which tolerate unpleasant behavior and I see no indication on this post that this will change

There is nobody in this world who can act in a way that isn’t unpleasant for someone. This is such an unachievable bar as to be laughable.

So…what about current bluetooth devices are “enshittified” or did you just see the word on your word-of-the-day calendar and have to use it?

Enshittification is used for platforms that are great in the beginning, and then slowly are designed to wring money out of their users. Bluetooth anything doesn’t really fit that description.

There are however videos featuring things that cannot be explained rationally

You can – quite literally – create any effect on video. You should go watch that guy that debunks YouTube videos for a living. He shows you exactly how the effects were created, etc.

There are people who use Hotmail still alive?

How is the internet supposed to work if we don’t agree on where every site goes? How are you supposed to decentralize a central agreement?
