it might be worse in terms of brutality against police.

Oh noooo…anyway

Low effort, brain dead take

What is the value in hearing opinions that denigrate your existence and way of life? Why would that make one close minded? You have finite amount of time, resources, and mental energy to devote to the content you engage with. Why spend it on content that you consider antagonistic, toxic, and stress-indiucing?

I’m right there with you. Gatwa is quickly growing as one of my favorite doctors. His charisma and chemistry with Millie are off the charts.

No such thing

Change your shit asap. Anyone who has access to it can theoretically auth as you on any site or product that uses that 2fa setup. They would still need to have your underlying credentials that would initiate the 2fa protocol exchange anyway, but if they have access to your underlying 2fa secret, its not too far fetched to believe they may have other credentials potentially, depending on how you’ve secured the access and where you store your credentials. To be safe and not paranoid, it’s best to just do a root trust rotation and cycle the underlying auth creds

A few minutes away from the world record of not blinking. Haven’t attempted since I was a teen though

Mo’ paralysis demons fo’ me!

Have you ever had sleep paralysis? The combo of severe evil presence and severely constricting environment/feeling at often tied with sleep paralysis and have some correlation with dyspnea in real life while you’re dreaming

Comparison is the thief of joy. Don’t despair because you’re not following along an imaginary and self/societaly imposed “progress”/“achievement” path. You are still so very young and have endless possibilities in front of you. Take things at your own pace, learn new things for the sake of learning, and seek to better yourself incrementally as appropriate. Life will fall into place

Going through a breakup after a 7 year relationship in my early 30s which turned my life upside down (but ultimately led me to where I am now).

Right after I became homeless, went in and out of the hospital, went through a dark period as an active drug abuser and addict, walked out on an established, high paying profession and career, moved 1200 miles away from a city I loved, gave up on humanity and myself…etc.

But ultimately I see now that as hard as that period was, it got me to where I am today, and I would do it all over again to be where I am now: married to my best friend, father to the brightest, most joyful baby in the whole world, hitting my stride as a trusted advisor and recognized leader in an entirely different career field, living in a place I adore, in my own house that im fortunate enough to be able to afford all by myself, making art, music, and delicious food every single day, and most of all having faith in myself as an individual for the first time ever.

That experience, as dark as it was, taught me that not only can I survive anything that doesn’t actually kill me physically, but I can thrive in any environment and circumstance if I so choose.

Imo, your friend, and some in this thread, misrepresent, or simply do not grasp beyond the very surface meaning, the nature of Karma. It is not good or bad - it simply is. It is the cause and effect in all of universe and existence as we perceive it. It is not that your individual bead on the chain will suffer or be rewarded for actions your previous bead form took (if you even believe in reincarnation), but rather that all of nature and all of existence is inextricably tied together, the influence and impact of one bead reverberates through the string that connects all and thus impacts all. Put another way, suffering and discord put into the universe will impact all future events, some to lesser degree than others. That impact may not necessarily be negative on the micro level for any given individual or life being, but on the macro level it nonetheless adds to the overall entropy and disharmony in the universe. The idea of nirvana is reaching a state where one is attuned to a state of consciousness and existence that does not generate Karma, but rather simply exists and floats on a universal wave, existing as an inseparable and fully necessary part of the wave, simply observing and letting what was, is, and always was going to be be.

Sounds great. Feel free to DM at your convenience. Re: pay, how about if you like it and choose to go with it you can donate whatever you feel is fair, otherwise no need since I don’t want you to pay for something you don’t end up going with. I make art for fun anyway so I’ll enjoy the process either way :)

I ask bc I’d be interested to take a crack at it, free of charge. It’s been a while though since I’ve done a commissioned piece and with life things it’d be a week or two at the earliest before I could get an initial draft to you, but if you’d like to share the details and have me put something up I can start this weekend

What kind of design/style and timeline did you have in mind?

To add to this, on Lemmy I often find myself both agreeing and disagreeing with a user depending on the topic and community. It adds a layer of additional context and nuance to that user. If I was just to follow the user vs. community, however, I may get the impression that the user is not worth following if I happen to run across them on a topic that we have disagreements on.

What good is takin’ over When we know what you gon’ do? The only real revolution happens right inside of you

Libel requires stating specific false facts

I know what you mean and what you’re intending here but there is no such thing as “false facts.” It’s lies.

The election was rigged" is an opinion.

It is not. It’s a bool statement - true or false. The election was not rigged, that’s a fact. Stating otherwise is a lie.

You paint him and his sycophants as pr masterminds suddenly, something they’re certainly not and have never been. You attribute too much intelligence and competence to him and his people.
