Remember kids, don't let the news tell you how to feel. Watch out for words in the title like "outrage" and "furious". Anger increases engagement and they know it.

I'm doing my part. I had two posts on Reddit. One was superniche and got 30ish points. Whatever, I was happy. It had useful info for the other people on the sub. Then I posted something to the broader community and got two downvotes in like 1 second, killing it. How did they even look at it? I think someone was sitting there gleefully downvoting every fucking thing. I never posted again.

I've been here since mid June and have made 264 posts, like WTF. I'm having more fun here than I ever did on Reddit and I don't get that sick feeling I used to get from seeing all the outrage posts and mean comments (to everyone, not just me).

Loving Lemmy.

Anyway, this post is definitely mildly interesting. Thank you.

No.

What good will come of it? What bad will come of it?

I can't think of a good, but for a bad he could have his heart broken.

He's her dad. He raised her. Anything else is unimportant after this.

If he finds out and asks her, that is the answer.

"You are my dad."

100% agree

In her hospice care centers, Mother Teresa practiced her belief that patients only needed to feel wanted and die at peace with God — not receive proper medical care — and medical experts went after her for it.

In 1994, the British medical journal The Lancet reported that medicine was scarce in her centers and that patients received nothing close to the treatment that they needed to relieve their pain.

Meanwhile, some doctors took to calling her missions “homes for the dying” since her Calcutta home for the sick had a mortality rate of more than 40 percent. But in her view, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

In response to all the criticism, Mother Teresa allegedly said, “There is something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, to suffer it like Christ’s Passion. The world gains much from their suffering.

I think the more they bitch about Reddit alternatives, the more people will be reminded that there are alternatives to Reddit.

Opossum on left is best man. Opossum on right is bridesmaid. Also, not my pic, just a good one I found and wanted to share.

I get it. I do. It's getting boring, but hear me out...you need to craft your Lemmy.

I still haven't finished subbing to every community that interests me because there are so many to look at, but they don't make reddit posts in the communities I'm subscribed to, !catbeanbags for example. Once you've selected communities you want to see, change your username's settings to only show you your subscribed communities. You can skip this step, but you may forget to switch to subscribed from local or all when you log on. Then enjoy your feed and if it turns out you don't care for a community after all, unsub (like I'm doing to General Discussion--bye everybody).

It's fantastic, IMHO.

Have fun. It's your Lemmy. Do whatcha want with it.

I am not every ADHD person, but this could have been written by me. I had NO IDEA that you could have something be so ingrained that you don't think about it. Even if I develop a "routine" of doing something, it is NEVER automatic. I have to put mental effort, even if small, into every task or it won't get done.

After reading this my definition of habit would be better termed routine. I develop a routine and I try to stick to it. Also I could have a great routine and it lasts for a month or so and then it's just, I don't know what else to call it but 'gone'. It's gone. That routine is gone.

Start posting. Really. I've been posting to keep communities I like going and others have started posting too. It's slow growth, but the more content a community has, the more people will sub to it and eventually post to. Anyway, that's my opinion.

Not every state. This is Texas. I'm in California and my kid went to school with shoulder length hair that was half blue. My relatives in Texas kept asking what the school was doing about it. There's nothing on the books about hair and the principal said it looked cool. Hair has always been a control issue in bible thumping communities, which I thankfully am no longer around.

Funny. I subbed because I thought this community was about cool mushrooms. I haven't tried "shrooms", but maybe I will someday. Where can I do it legally?

Bonus pic of Amanita caesarea. Not a psychedelic mushroom.
