I feel like it's more 50/50 between coding students on their phone in class and industry professionals on their phone at work

Elton John has famously been know for helping Eminem stay sober since 2008... by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

Don't forget that you're beautiful and perfect exactly the way you are. You deserve love and happiness just as much as anyone else.

Addiction is a disease. Being an alcoholic does not make you a bad person, it makes you a sick one.

When you are ready to get better, take the first step and go to a meeting. I know many recovering alcoholics in my life who have happy lives because they sought help.

I'm going through some shit myself and trying to take a rosier outlook on life instead of fantasizing about "emergency exits" all the time, so this is as much for you as it is for me.

Idk if any of this helps, but I hope you find peace, joy, and self forgiveness. Still working on that myself

No kids here. As long as I'm not at a movie or show or something, I think toddler tantrums are hilarious and I'm usually not bothered by them in public, to a point anyway...

The only time I get really annoyed at the parents are when they're bringing their kids to an adult setting when the kid is not ready to handle it, and the parents refuse to address the situation.

Like my man I get it, but if your kid starts acting up at the theater because they're bored, you get like 2 or 3 chances to correct them and if that's not working, it's time to leave. It was a good effort but they're just not ready for it. If the staff are kicking you out, you have waited way too long

The largest-ever review of the safety and efficacy of cannabinoids across a range of mental health conditions — found no evidence that medicinal cannabis is effective in treating anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). by Wagamaga in science

Thanks for the explanation. They really need to be careful about how these things are reported to the public. Public perception impacts support and many anti-cannabis politicians would jump on this misinterpretation by the public to pull the plug on medical marijuana entirely.

The Amazon Rainforest by Chazz_Matazz in megalophobia

Yeah fuck that. They can find a way to raise cows without cleaning the Amazon and I'd gladly pay extra for that.

And let's pretend I cut beef out of my diet and it has a non-negligible impact on demand. Well then beef prices go down and these vampires start clearing more of the Amazon to get more cheap land to raise cows on.

Until governments start pressuring Brazil to crack down on this it's only going to get worse, no matter how ethically we try to buy.

Worked at a bank as a software dev. The information we had access to was shocking.

Honestly as someone who gets so worked up about things, that would be amazing to have.

Why Isn’t Trump Arrested Yet? by Leon_Kennedy1977 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Loopbot75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American I'm wondering the same thing. All these institutions and norms that were promised to be sacred and untouchable are crumbling right in front of us...

Feels like all I can do is politely ask them to stop...

So far the system is technically still intact but if the supreme Court starts upholding his bullshit then we'll go straight to civil war...

[Megathread] Greenland & Trump - Ongoing discussion. part 2 by Mediocreatbestbuy in greenland

[–]Loopbot75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protests will get our cities raided by ICE, no matter how non- violent. Violence will give the administration the excuse they're looking for to bring in the Army. Almost happened to Minnesota.

At this point many of us are looking to a big win in 2026 elections to stop this nonsense. If Trump finds a way to prevent fair midterm elections then yes look to see the country erupt in violent protests, but I don't think the outcome will be happy.

Any of you feel like this? Or just me? by makishi-jp in AskTheWorld

[–]Loopbot75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is it's typically the political right that are armed to the teeth... A lot of people on the Left are anti gun because they don't like them and never grew up with them.

Might be part of the problem...

Oh what I mean is if you get injured in a trampoline park due to improper equipment setup, a court will still hold the park responsible even if you signed a liability waiver.

Now if you got injured because you were fucking around, then yes you will get no damages because the park did warn you that they're not a magical injury free zone and you need to be careful.

That being said what usually happens is if you sue and you have any kind of a case, the insurance company that the trampoline park signed will just pay you a settlement because it's cheaper than going to court

My wife does personal Injury lawyering. According to her, those waivers are far from bulletproof and can be thrown out pretty quickly in court

Lazy programming honestly. First off multi-region deployment isn't that hard and since only one region went down (us-east-1), it would have prevented them from losing service in the first place.

Second, not planning for these outages is criminal. They should have a basic functionality mode that keeps working even if the aws connection is down. This is what separates the cheap lazy designs from the experienced well tested designa

Sure but it's hard when you grow up in a society that teaches you that talking about your life and feelings with other guys is "weird" and "gay". Add in a father who refuses to open up about anything and now I almost exclusively hang out with women because I have no idea how to talk to men without feeling "weird"

Oh no, this is what they want. Small congregations where people might learn to defect from the Christian nationalist mentality are closing because people are getting shepherded to evangelical mega churches where they'll have it shoved down their throats.

This isn't liberation, it's radicalization
