Well if you’re able to converse with them in their native tongue then I don’t understand the problem. You should be able to talk to them just fine.

This is the answer. You don’t need to become fluent or learn to read it. Just conversational so you can at least partially participate in conversations around them.

I’ve worked in corporate America for all of my adult life. Women and pro women’s initiatives are non-stop. I would argue that if anything the working environment in most offices (I am only talking about office workers here) is leaning towards more feminine energy currently.

My current work space is 3 to 1 female. My last job was overwhelmingly female as well.

The only jobs I’ve worked that had “masculine energy” were the physical labor jobs I have done. Those were exclusively men. Not many women fighting for more feminine energy in the jobs where you spend all day crawling through literal shit sometimes.

When did I say there wasn’t “masculine energy” around? I was just piggy backing off that other guys comment when I saw he was downvoted for pointing out an objective truth. I clearly state that it’s important for both feminine and masculine energy to exist.

I’m not even touching the current gender wars nonsense. I am literally just talking about humans as a species and you come in here with this “men are everywhere”. Like that isn’t what either of us were talking about lol.

Imagine downvoting this person for stating facts. It is insane to me that there are people who can’t even entertain the concept that the human species is dimorphic and it requires both men and women to function.

Kids (really all people too) need to experience both feminine and masculine “energy” (or whatever you want to call it) in order to be healthy and well rounded when they grow up. This is not some hair brained guess either. There are years and years worth of data that prove this over and over. Whether or not they want to admit it the human species is evolved and designed around having a father figure that brings certain “masculine energy” to the family as well as a mother that brings the “feminine energy”.

Common sense/critical thinking 101.

It is utterly baffling watching some people just bumble through life completely clueless.

I have lost track of the number of adults who have no clue how do their taxes. They either have their parents do them or they pay someone to do them for themselves. I consider myself basically financially retarded, but I still learned the bare minimum to be able to do my own goddamn taxes.

People don’t know the bare minimum about their vehicles and it ends up costing them thousands.

People are oblivious to their surroundings and never prepared for anything even slightly.

People just do things without a single thought towards the potential consequences of their actions.

Hey I’m new here. What do you mean by change instance? Like I see the different subs/communities or what y’all call em, but I’ve just been scrolling through the “everything” tab or whatever it’s called.

I followed some of my interests but generally I just sort by top in the past hour and scroll away.

Method? Idk my roommate for like 6 years was Chinese and he had a keyboard that he could switch between American English and Chinese. He showed me how it worked and the key caps all had a few Chinese symbols next to each English letter and he could cycle between them as needed. He wasn’t as fast typing in Chinese, but it was the only way for him to communicate with certain family as they couldn’t speak or read English at all.

When his mom visited her laptop also had a similar set up except on hers the English letters were smaller and the. Chinese symbols were bigger. I assume because she bought it in China or something.

Ah. I guess that makes sense. I only ever go on social media from my phone so I will only be viewing Lemmy through the lens of Sync I guess. Thanks for the info.

If that’s intentional that seems like a bad idea. Just gonna lead to confusion on the users end and more posts asking why things are “broken”.

Thank you for the info. Are there any other symbols or site quirks I should know about?

Rule 1 for Lemmy overall or that specific sub? Cause I don’t see any rules listed under the “about” tab. I didn’t break rule 1 as its written as far as I can tell. So that just feels like mod abuse because they didn’t like what I said or something.

I also didn’t get any sort of notification for this temporary ban. Is that intentional? It was simply giving me “network errors” whenever I tried to upvote something and the feedback for the user was very unclear.

I know I’m asking a lot of questions but can anyone see the ban logs for everything? I am obviously very new and still trying to figure out how this whole shindig works.

Edit: Thank you for the info. It was very thorough and you didn’t have to do all those links and everything. But it was very appreciated.

6 alarms each a minute apart. 5 from my phone and 1 from my Google home.

My mom used to have to dump ice water on me to get me outta bed for school.

Once I’m asleep I’m pretty sure you could throw me outta an airplane and I wouldn’t wake up.

Funny how the left loved immigrants when they voted for them, but suddenly now that they voted against the dems they are a problem that needs solving lol.

Fan for air flow and noise (I’ve got tinnitus). Rub one out. Small glass of cold water. I’ll roll over and pass tf out in seconds.

Highly recommended, but not necessary: Take an edible ~ 2 hours before you wanna go to sleep so you’re in the middle of riding that high when it’s time to crash.

Chronically online people cannot grasp just how “normal” most every day of their lives will continue to be regardless of who is sitting in the oval office.

Obviously I know there will be effects on many people, but for the grand majority of Americans their daily life will continue on without much change as it did through the first Trump term and the Biden term.

The Republicans cried that Obama was going to ruin the nation both terms. The Democrats are terrified Trump will somehow end this country this time around when they lived through his first term just fine.

Basically whichever party loses acts like a cat that can suddenly see the bottom of their food bowl and they think they are gonna die.

Just take a scoop out and bring it back. Should be easy right? Lol

When I was ~10 I was running around the house with a white bedsheet over my head. I was pretending to be a ghost while I chased my older brother around the house. Unfortunately I slipped backwards on the sheet and hit the back of my head on my mom’s solid oak coffee table. Immediately blood started soaking the sheet red and I obviously screamed out in pain. My mom came running into the living room to find me screaming and the sheet just turning more and more red.

At this time we lived about an hour away from the nearest hospital and my mom knew if she tried to take me in for stitches that I would probably bite the doctor or something (I have a pathological fear of needles). So she opted to shave my head and tape it shut. Then she instructed my brother to keep me awake for the next few hours (she was worried about a concussion) and she let me watch whatever movie or play whatever video game I wanted for the rest of the day.

It healed fine and now I have a small scar on the back of my head that is only visible if I shave my hair super short.
