Yeah same. I did not know this game exist and this gives me more time to check it out...

Windows.

My hobbies and my work require a lot of different software. On MacOS everything would be expensive af and not customizable at all.

On Linux only 50% of the stuff would work, only 50% of that would work well and stable, and only 50% can be installed in less than 3h. And I need my software to be up and running in 7 days not 5 months.

I put this in another post as well, but the toxic positive endorsements of Linux really tick me off. If you use it, cool. If you like it, cool. If you wanna tell others it's nice, cool.

But if you have to tell ppl how they are using the wrong OS, windows, on almost completely unrelated posts, you make ppl dislike the Linux community, you downplay that Linux can be a serious commitment and that mileage may vary, speaking from experience. You are doing an active disservice to everyone.

Everyone has their own os, and just how I can appreciate that ppl have good reason to use MacOS, Linux Users should be able to appreciate that ppl like me can not switch and even if they do, it is often not worth it in any way.

Also if I get down votes so be it, I think this just needs to be said rn. No hate for anyone using any OS, in fact I'm curious about the other comments:)

It's actually a really nice thing to know that (a) your country makes sure you get into less accidents and (b) that your company usually pays for any workplace accidents, even if it's remote.

I work remotely at a company in the EU where they actually host seminars about posture and stuff because it's better for them than dealing with workplace injury from bad posture.

Idk, every company is different and so is every country.

But let me also make clear, I'm not arguing this isn't odd. Just some things to rule out before going mayhem.

No they are not fine in any sense. If they are true, they are awful, but in order to prove them, we need a better source. A PRIMARY source. Some corroborating evidence. Give us something more than 3 layers of hearsay which would be beyond inadmissible in court.

Although you are reciting a source, your source is so indirect and unproven that you're basically dancing on the line of defamation (although of course no one could give enough of a shit to sue).

If you alledge those things, you better have a good reason and at least a handful of evidence. Otherwise you are doing a disservice to every woman out there trying to prove awful allegations, because she has to fight all the mistrust you are building up.

I think there's a few things in your response that trigger alarm bells.

First of all, it sounds like your environment is awful. Can you try to change things just a bit? Step by step? Identify what exactly it is (if it's family, try to get some distance to them (try to not hang around them if you can, etc.), if it's friends, try to go out and do your own thing for a bit and maybe try to approach new ppl, if it's school, talk to someone you trust and maybe figure out a solution where you can get some help there.

In general if you can, maybe therapy could help. If it's a permanent thing, and that's what it sounds like, a therapist can help you find solutions to deal with it.

What's kind of odd to me is that you say it's the little things that contribute a lot. Now having a bad day is not odd, but if it's one of the reasons you have a bad life rn, that's odd. I would look into why this still affects you in that magnitude. This something else you could talk with a therapist about.

I know that if you have good mental health usually these small things shouldn't throw you off, they are just a bit annoying. That's basically how usually ppl deal with it.

Now mind you I'm def not judging, I let small things get to me as well, but I'm in therapy for related issues and that's why I know I will improve.

And the thing with social media: basically, there's infinite good things and infinite bad things on social media. But the response to bad things is much stronger than it is too good things, that's why social media has a bias to display bad things (news, etc). So either limiting social media usage can be good, or you can try to curb news and stuff to get less of a skewed view. I did the same - I completely removed my reddit account (which tends to have a more pessimistic user base) and on Lemmy I started unfollowing a lot of news communities. It's just more healthy for me to see more neutral and positive things.

So yeah I hope I could help you. And always remember, as long as you believe it will get better, it will. Your brain has an amazing ability to reinforce positive thinking patterns if you concentrate on them and this in turn makes you behave more positively towards others and therefore can actively help you on your conquest to change your environment. Wish I could link you studies on this rn but I can only give you the good ole trust me bro guarantee.

Good luck on making a change, I believe if you do you can be a big positive influence for others :)

The best reason to help others is because you are selfish and you like the feeling of helping someone else.

Because it means there is an endless supply of motivation to do the right thing.

Is this the US? Because iirc there's some workplace injury stuff in some EU countries, where the company might be liable and so they might need to advise you to do certain things to prevent injury if you work remotely.

Not trying to take the wind out of your sails, just making ppl aware.

A lot of the bigger songs from Bleachers

One of the newer ones is "Tiny Moves", but also older ones like "Stop Making This Hurt" or "Don't Take the Money"

The older songs from Billie Eilish like "I don't wanna be you anymore"

Johnny Yukon has makes me move as well, with "lights camera action" for example

I should mention Beck as well, one of the artists that stuck around for an eternity and still makes bangers

And then a lot of smaller ones like Jacob Banks, Gallant, Oscar Anton, Paper Idol, Nothing but Thieves, Ellis, ...

I just love music:)

And there's this whole thing with correlation and causation.

In the midst of a million different other potential causes, they are identifying "masculine fragility" as the big contributor to depression? Not missing data points, not social media, not the momentum of societal change in the last 30y, not socioeconomic factors, potential comorbidities as contributors, increasingly inflammatory politics, globalization as a whole, ...

It's so dumb to single this out. Sure some people need more confidence, but being "more masculine" sounds like the worst plan ever to gain healthy confidence. If you have problems with your confidence there's usually other factors at play and the most efficient way to improve is to seek a therapist and sort your life or your brain out.

Same goes for dating by the way. A million factors that are potentially contributing to that one, and that's a two player game, so even more factors to consider.

I imagine that if the DA tried to do this often enough, it could lead to a mistrial and possible disciplinary action.

You are 100% that at some point they would have been reprimanded by the judge and other counsel would have at least asked for a mistrial, although disciplinary action is very much more rare, as the bar reserves it for the more outrageous ethical misconduct like with Tom Girardi or Alex Murdough (not sure about spelling).

It actually happens a lot that counsel does improper stuff, but usually they keep it to a minimum. But it also heavily depends on how strict the judge is.

In the end, every trial is a new constellation with different dynamics and you never know what will happen, as is custom with juries as well.

But yeah to get back to get on topic, the jury is the one deciding and the judge is trying to make sure the jury only decides on the facts. Deciding what facts is trying to keep the trial fair to both parties. And making jurors disregard testimony is done in the hopes the jury will try to ignore it or at least not consider it for their decision.

And what you are saying makes it clear that it definitely works to some degree. I would love to know how well it works, but that is a different question, although we can assume it works reasonably well considering we're still doing it and these things are researched in the form of jury experiments every once in a while.
