Right, and that leads to issues with men seeking help. Men don’t get needed therapy at the same rate, and our suicide rates are way higher. So I guess one can answer your original question with: women can get help without as much social stigma.

Note to anyone reading: It’s not weak to see a physical therapist, so it’s not weak to see a mental one. You see a therapist to be strong, regardless of the which part of your body (muscles or brain) you’re training. You also don’t need to be having an issue in order to get therapy. Sometimes it’s just nice to talk through everyday things, and learn ways to cope with small things.

This is the way I do it. I still hear about everything, I just don’t need to seek it out. And I still feel very informed enough to vote.

Exactly. I find that I sign the back of checks and write brief sentences in birthday cards. Neither of those feel like they’ll be around for a lot longer.

Fair enough. Most people don’t encounter analog clocks anymore. And many of us have smart watches or phones where we check the time. Since I have a non-analog watch, I don’t find I ever look at analog clocks anymore. If it’s in a room, I just don’t notice it. Growing up, it was important to know, but now I just never have a use for it. Learning is important, but there are so many more interesting and useful things to learn.

You could also make an argument about automatic or manual cars. Sure, we could teach our kids how to drive manual, but why? Most cars are automatic. If they want to have a manual car, they can learn. Otherwise it’s just a useless skill.

There are fewer and fewer applications for writing, but it’s still more important than reading an analog clock.

I actually agree with you. I can read an analog clock, but what worth is the skill? Most clocks are digital, and it gives me nothing more to read an analog one. People downvoting you is just silly. Some skills are allowed to die out if they add no value in modern life.

I’m willing to bet that they’re using the same Barbie character in the same universe as what Greta and Margot created. It’s well within their rights, but it’s just a bit rude not to include them or even get their input.

Not the thing you want to do if you want their involvement in a sequel live-action movie.

White to black, because people say that white and black aren’t colours.

But I just say “FFFFFFuck y000000u!”

Everyone’s talking about the tech, but I’ll talk about the user base. When you make a post or comment on Reddit, it often feels like you get lost in some black hole of other posts or comments. No one sees your comment because there are 1000 other comments on the same post.

At Lemmy, there are fewer users and fewer comments, but your comments actually get seen. People upvote. I weirdly get way more upvotes at Lemmy than I did at Reddit, in spite of the smaller user base here. Because of that, I’m way more active here than I was on Reddit.

As a Star Wars fan, have an angry upvote

If you’re not good in a sport, just create your own sport, name it the same thing, and show everyone you’re best at it.

I’m going to create my own basketball and I’ll show everyone I’m #1!

DON’T TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME!

Octopus is obviously the correct answer. They’re smart, they can fit through a hole the size of a quarter, they can camouflage, and they can shoot ink. They’re the superheroes of the animal world already.

We are one

Fascinating read. They gave one player (after a coin toss) way more advantages in the game. In the end, they inevitably won, and no advantaged person talked about the coin flip being the reason. Instead, they attributed their perceived skill.

Against the rules? It’s the whole point of the game.

Gotta make a 45

People are pointing out the juxtaposition of many people losing their jobs while one person spends silly amounts of money on toys. It’s not that he spent it on toys, it’s that he made so much that he was able to waste it on frivolity while others around him suffered.
