Perfection

Beans is memes

Has been in earnest since about 2014 by my watch

Let’s see if this works

I’m a woman and child

You’re right. Narcissists are generally very concerned with what other people think - specifically about them.

If you really want to help this person I’d suggest being a friend to him. Don’t talk about the stuff you disagree on. Every time he mentions it, be very clear that you emphatically disagree and that the positions that he holds cause you harm. Do not get drawn into a debate, just states how it negatively affects you and end the conversation. If he can accept that boundary then you can build a friendship, and that friendship will eventually provide you with the sufficient mutual respect to potentially begin to change minds with open and vulnerable conversation. It has to be a real friendship though, you can’t be faking it.

That’s all a lot of energy and effort, but it’s the kind of sustained relational support that can effectively promulgate change.

I’ve used it a little. The bags can be very unpredictable. Whether it’s a good deal or not often feels a bit like a roll of the dice which seems to make it necessarily more of a novelty

I’ve been embracing the weirdness of multiple platforms with distinct cultures and equally enjoying going to different parts of the internet again after quite some time! I do miss the sense that in browsing Reddit you could sample the cultural pulse of a particular demographic cluster.

Same, I’ve had no trouble with logging in on Memmy, Mlem, or the few different web apps I’ve tried so the credentials are definitely ok

A few thoughts:

• As others have said comparison is the thief of joy. It’s also not a very useful motivator. Feeling a bit better off than someone else isn’t going to push you to work all night when it’s required. That motivation is going to have to come from an intrinsic place - some well of meaning that has significance for you.

• I’ve had the chance to study a little philosophy in pursuit of my profession and having a foundational system of thought - or several to compare - from which to approach decision making has helped me to determine my path and give meaning to my time alive.

• If you’re trying to do anything difficult, doing it alone is courting failure. Find other people doing similar things and figure out how you can help them out. Equally, if you want to learn something you’ll have a much easier time if you find a teacher.

There’s no message, the spinner just keeps going on the login button.

I do think the question of who owns community content is nuanced. I put this comment here, you might say that means I own it and should be able to withdraw it - but it also doesn’t mean much of anything by itself, it needs your content to make sense. So who owns the discourse we are having? Me or you? Or whoever runs the server it is stored on - who must have some legal right to reproduce our content in order to provide the community space? Or the community as a whole? The combined content on Reddit represents an incredibly valuable store of information and learning - who does that belong to? Who should get to benefit from it?

I’m sorry but this is hilarious

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

If I’m on the TestFlight is it important to switch?

Edit: question answered

I think he was just trying to be coy

It’s function serves moderators primarily. That said what you’re describing is a client side fix. Memmy on iOS already permits collapsing threads for instance
