This is true, and why I phrased the question in a relative way instead of asking for unbiased sources. I suppose a better question would have been about credibility and supporting evidence.

Another reminder for me to start learning German :)

I think the impact of the internet as it is today has a net negative impact on teenagers’ behavior. Specifically on mobile devices. Before, you could be silly and cringey without having to worry that someone was recording. Short-video formats and endless scrolling are detrimental to attention spans, and having a device that provides instant entertainment with little effort can be very distracting to those who never learned to be without it. Then there’s social media, which can cause insecurity in impressionable people who aren’t aware that what they see online is curated to show the best/worst side of things.

I initially joined Lemmy because I wanted to leave Reddit after the API situation. Admittedly I still use Reddit because Lemmy doesn’t have an active enough community for all the topics I am interested in or want information on. Once it gets there, I will fully make the switch.

I am satisfied with the sound isolation from the MDF doors. If you can find heavy, solid wooden doors, I think they would offer even better sound isolation. I chose MDF because I didn’t like the quality and design of the wooden doors sold near me. It’s also important to have good installation and seals around the doors for soundproofing.

“Are you from Mississippi? ‘Cause you’re the only miss whose piss I’d sippy”

“You must be from Iowa the way you’ve got me making these corny jokes”

“Are you from Georgia? ‘Cause you’re a peach!”

Is the problem that you don’t like the field itself (IT), that you don’t like your school, or you don’t like the way it is taught? Maybe see if there is another professor who teaches the course, or change schools if it’s possible. You can also look research IT bootcamps or certification programs if you don’t want to go the university route, and build a portfolio of projects in your spare time to add to your CV.

Good luck!

God could have prevented its creation, but he allowed it to happen. I say let her in!

I liked your song, both the melody and the clean sound of it. I think you definitely have potential and your music could appeal to a wide audience. Keep doing what you love! :)

It could be because you are switching between WiFi and mobile data or are using a VPN.

Oy vey! :D

Fast, cheap, and good. Clients expect all three of those qualities, if they are even able to accurately describe what they want in the first place. Usually at best you can have two.

Just by knowing something was created by AI makes it repelling to me. That’s not to say it can’t generate interesting material, but I so wish this technology didn’t exist in the first place. But, it’s here to stay, and refusing to adapt to it entirely it may not be in our best interest in the long run. It’s possible I have enjoyed content without knowing it was AI-generated too; it’s not always obvious. Not everything made by humans is good either, although I respect the effort the creators put into it. Luckily there is an extensive catalogue of reputable human-made literature and art to choose from that goes back centuries :)

My doors are made of MDF with aluminium frames. They were more expensive than the low quality wood doors offered here, but they are sturdy and lasted well over the years.

Good luck with your renovations!

I get that it’s a meme, but “scapegoat” would be a better comparison than “Jesus”, as there is nothing holy about that whole situation.

A few things to consider:

• How your decision to sell content will affect your future relationships and job opportunities.

• How will selling content affect your well-being? You might face criticism, disrespect, entitlement, body-shaming, doxing, having your content spread without your consent. Would you be able to handle that?

• Like others have said, it’s an over saturated market. Most sellers aren’t making enough to cover even essential expenses. If you are set on doing this, you need to establish boundaries and find a way to market yourself, which can feel like a full time job in itself.

Be safe, and I hope you find a better job opportunity soon.

I don’t think I would initiate contact with my biological parents in this hypothetical situation regardless of their financial status, but I would be willing to meet with them if they requested it first. I can’t miss what I never had and I don’t want to possibly disrupt their lives because of my own curiosity. Nor do I feel entitled to their money.

Not fitting in with an existing group is a risk you take no matter which method of seeking friendship you use. Trying out new activities is always a good idea though.

Join a hobby group or club for activities you’re actually interested in. It could be anything: sports, board games, video games. That way you already have a common interest with the others, and you feel less pressure to make friends because you can still spend your time doing what you enjoy.

I’m going to try reading a book in my target language and look up/write down definitions of unfamiliar words. Although I miss the convenience language learning apps offered, I felt like the courses weren’t paced well and that I was stagnating. It would be helpful to have someone to practice with in person but right now it’s not an option.

How’s it going for you?
