Isn’t that the status quo? I guess it’s not really fathers to daughters, but most women I know went through some amount of “here’s how to be a good wife” lessons from their mothers or family. I think women get a lot of “traditional gender roles” training that’s mostly about being caretakers.

Usually people putting forth this kinda “women should learn how to care for their man” attitude are coming from a conservative “traditional family values” position.

Really, we should be teaching people how to ask about and learn the needs of their partner, and how to determine your own needs and communicate those to your partner. Basic emotional intelligence stuff. It doesn’t have to be gendered at all.

Over COVID, we started a bad/cult movie night that I streamed over Discord. Streaming via Twitch/Youtube would get copyright struck immediately. Streaming over Discord worked, but you have no real control over stream quality, and often the stream quality is based on the person with the worst connection. You also are locked to 30/60 FPS, which sometimes causes small frame weirdness when most movies are at 24.

An easy, self hosted solution is exactly what I wanted at the time. I played with setting up a streaming server but it ended up being too much of a headache at the time.

There’s a ton of valid reasons to self host. Just because you can’t think of any doesn’t mean it’s pointless.

It’s definitely hard to know when being overly enthusiastic ends and when love bombing begins. I agree that it isn’t always necessarily malicious but, as with most everything, clear open communication is the solution.

The US version was severely bungled, especially in the cutting of the runtime to a 30 minute timeslot from 60. They made that decision AFTER filming it, so they edited down full episodes to half their length.

I think everyone agrees that Reggie Watts was not a great choice for the Taskmaster, but I do think a US version could work with the right group. It has to find it’s own voice though, and be given room to grow, which is hard for US TV.

It works a bit better if you put a little bit of wood glue on the tip of each toothpick before driving it into the hole. Definitely a great trick!

Reno is an awesome town now, you should check it out.

People aren’t celebrating being obese. They’re celebrating being themselves and accepting that they’re more than their body. They’re also saying that it’s possible to be beautiful and desirable even if you’re overweight.

Fat shaming doesn’t work. People don’t always try to improve themselves when they feel like they’re worthless. Sometimes they do, and you’ll always see some ex-fat person in the comments saying how they needed the shame to improve, but the data doesn’t really support that position.

I just want people to be able to be happy. I want people to be treated like humans regardless of their looks and weight. That’s the goal of most of these *movements."

Also… While some extra crazy people out exist that claim that it’s healthy to never move and be over 300 pounds, those people are often cherry picked and used as examples of cultural downfall, even when they’re the minority.

Government is as good or as bad as we make it. Pretending like it can’t be good while actively sabotaging it is conservative’s entire playbook.

And yes, increase my taxes. I’m happy to pay more if we can improve the lives of everyone. If we can pay for things like universal healthcare, good infrastructure, public transit, and decent public housing, double my taxes.

Honestly, and what a good episode!

How does Valve prevent you from controlling your own device? Their version of Linux isn’t locked down, you can fully customize it like any Linux afaik.

I could see the login part being nice, but I still don’t really see the value in federating chat text. Honestly that would be a negative to me, I don’t really want my chat messages copied and federated out to other servers forever. Similarly, why would I want to view a chatroom through Lemmy? Why wouldn’t I just want to go to that community through it’s app or site or whatever?

It just feels a bit like blockchain all over again. Federation and activitypub are great tools for some purposes but people seem to want to use them for everything.

How would a Discord-like application integrate with Lemmy? Are chat logs federated to posts in Lemmy? Do posts in Lemmy get federated to this other chat thing? Can you just sign into chat with your Lemmy username and that’s it? Is it just a chatroom that’s associated with a community?

I feel like people here are like “everything should be federated” but sometimes I don’t really follow the thought process. I get it with Lemmy and Mastodon, but maybe someone could explain what a Federated Discord looks like.

Thank you for reminding me of that song and giving me a reason to think more deeply about it. It already was a gorgeous moment in the show but I didn’t dig into it too deeply until your comment. The “looking at your thoughts without judgement” part is the hardest part for me.

Do you wash only a single fitted sheet or duvet cover at a time? Because the problem still happens when I wash my fitted sheet and normal sheets in the same load.

Just out of curiosity, would you feel the same way when people say “fuck Russia”, or would you understand that they’re saying “fuck the Russian government/Putin” and not “all Russians are monsters”?

I mean, the old UI wasn’t great. All they did was separate servers and DMs. I hated it at first too, until I learned the differences, and it’s honestly fine.

People seem mad at Discord for how their users use it. Yeah it sucks as a knowledge base since you can’t search it from a search engine, but it’s still easily the best tool for small, privateish communities.

Finally played this last month after buying it on sale 2 years ago. I felt stupid that I waited so long. It’s easily the most well written game in existence. I’ve never had a game make me laugh and think this much.

Pretty sure Cuno straight up says he does drugs.

It’s not really controversial. Cringe is used to full effect in The Office, and it’s absolutely something that a lot of people don’t enjoy.

I love The Office, and I do think that once you know the characters, the cringe gets less intense, but it just isn’t going to jive with everyone.
