Kid loves you because you’re still there for him, for better or worse. If he doesn’t feel abandoned or less important than material things, then he’ll keep on loving you just the same.
Still, long-term, you need to plan for building him an independent life while getting one for yourself. It’s a tough gig but you have experience. Your work ain’t done yet pops, so good luck!
It merely shows no one is exempt from displaying bias.
Ever heard of the saying “Walk a mile in my shoes”? So the clearest means of conveying information would be to encapsulate someone’s entire life experience up to that point, temporarily transfer that state to the other person and allow them to understand the entire background of how that information came to be. Do that back and forth and you have the clearest means of communicating information between people.
Thanks for the high praise. But also quite accurate.
I’ve been a mod before, in other places. My rule always ended up biased and unfair, but thankfully I was quickly overthrown. There’s a degree of separation when being part of the staff that alienates my view from that of the user base over time. Also, as said above, i am a bit of a cunt with people I don’t like. Can’t help it really…
It’s a tough gig, combating hatefulness, and most social media would rather pay fines than actually do their job in this regard. And constantly being exposed to the stress and negativity, well, it changes you.
I wish you luck and remember to visit the wholesome side of Lemmy more often, to keep in mind why you do this thankless job.
Ps: Thank you
Well shit! So no fucking around anymore? What about Australians? Are they still allowed to go “cunt” this and “cunt” that? I think it’s part of their cultural identity and forcing them to stop might harm them on an emotional level.
And what about the Polish? Or was it Poles? I forget. Anyway, “kurwa bobr” is an international sensation. We cannot censor it without it being called abuse and attracting a different kind of "kurwa"s posts.
Insults that are part of one’s cultural identity should be protected. And as such, I propose that the mod team should sacrifice a small amount of time in their day to learn culturally appropriate swear words from languages across the globe and share them with the rest of the users so that we may all know the socially acceptable way of insulting one another in a polite and friendly fashion.
A pleasant non-fucking day to you all. (They say abstinence makes the heart grow fond)
Strictly speaking on ethics, if it’s for some educational purposes then it’s fine. If it’s for the educational purposes of making a profit, then it’s not fine.
One family member each for every kind of difficulty in life.
I’m sorry, but that method isn’t plausible. There’s simply no way of achieving a high score through it anymore. Maybe as an ISS cannonball, but that’s a little difficult to get started with.
This Theory is kinda discriminatory.
In this modern age there’s gamer dad, gamer mom, gamer sis (not on only fans), gamer grandma & grandpa, gamer cat, gamer dog and gamer fish among many others.
Defaulting straight to the older brother severely limits you to an out-of-bounds exploit Speedrun. I mean, sure you’ll get a high score, but life’s more than just a placement on the wall of fame and the eternal nickname of “FartFace”.
I’m more inclined to call it indigestion…
Considering how consistently the world gets fucked, yeah, I’d say there’s a divine Dick out there doing all the fucking.
Seeing as how this topic isn’t part of Rule 3 for which the answer is to go seek professional help, nor is there a rule specific to stupid answers, I’m gonna go ahead with this one.

Not really. If you need drugs to make yourself a better person, once you’ve made your life as that better person and the drugs run out, will that life still be compatible with the drugless you? Will you still be able to handle it? To like it? For it to like you? How desperate will you be to find an alternative?
And every drug has a downside, a cost both physical and mental. Have you informed yourself what that cost is? And I’m not talking about the success stories, if it’s not obvious, I’m talking about the ones that took any of these drugs and it failed them. Can you handle those kind of results? If you can’t take into account the cost of failure and whether it outweighs the cost of success, then that drug isn’t for you.
Also, I’d ignore the “go for it” type of comments. Their bias is the equivalent of a “bootstraps” type of success story and not that much reliable. A more reliable success story is that of fighter planes:
Initially, engineers looked at bullet holes in the fuselage to figure out which areas to strengthen and have fewer planes downed. When that didn’t work, some smartass said that if a hit downed a plane, then it won’t make it back to base. So the engineers strengthened the areas without bullet holes instead.
Well guess what, the downed planes won’t make it to Lemmy and tell their stories to you. Imagine that.
He’d accidentally fall out of a window long before he’d have the chance.
I do indeed. Thank you for noticing
Just to be clear, LOTR orcs were elves once as well …
I think one of the Shepard backgrounds was of a colonist kid who survived a slavers raiding party, something for which the Batarians are well known for. Add in the murdering soldier career option and yeah, I can see this happening…
Yes. Not me, but yes.
Oh sh- I mean, whaaat? Pshh! I’m just a regular human friend here spreading sh-healthy joy and happiness… Yay.
It’s normal to attack and be attacked, it’s also normal to have a friendly exchange of ideas and it’s very normal to communicate through memes and soundbites.
What isn’t normal is to communicate through emojis. We need to shun those people! They must not be allowed to propagate a second hieroglyphics age! Archeologists will think it was aliens all over again!
Shun them!
