My headcanon as to why missions are on a strict timer
  • I like to think it's just an administrative paperwork thing. When you make an "order" there are some things that require less paperwork and come quick vs others.

    This is why you can decrease the expected delivery time by committing resources to the cause to create a more efficient paperwork flow.

  • Google Ramps Up Crackdown on YouTube Ad-Blocking, Targets Third-Party Apps
  • YouTube can burn.

    They generate more money than whole countries and you want to give them more? I don't have to pay them shit for them to make money off of me from my browsing history alone.

    I would rather speed forward the enshittification to the point that all creators decide to strike and hop over collectively to another, kinder, video hosting site.

    In the meantime Google benefits from my viewing data/history and sells that over and over. They're making money hand over fist and then when you pay them for a "premium" experience you're just handing them more. You're already a cash cow for them with just using the site. Screw that noise.

    Give directly to the creator.

  • United Airlines raises checked bag fee $5, following American
  • The string above this pointed out that the greyhound bus is more expensive than the delta flight from the same start to finish.

    I'm not saying the price increase isn't bullshit or acceptable, but you are already paying more for the greyhound for slower travel.

  • No Fap (Masturbation abstinence) is popular online. Doctors and therapists are worried - NPR
  • I think it's more the psychology of the nofap group themselves that's hurtful. I've seen many/most discussions that are fine, but others are just wildly toxic with a cult-like "discipline".

    You're either with us or against us.

    Us vs. the system/females/people in power.

    You're better than others. Or, if you trip up, you're garbage.

    There's no in-between and no room for mistakes.

    That's not good for you in the long run and it'll hurt more than it helps.

  • I'm surviving
  • Exactly. I have a friend who was going through it, even considered offing herself, but in the end she kept going and came out on the other side better and more mature than ever.

    It took years, but she's now in a much better position, stable, and learned valuable life lessons.

    She would say she was just surviving, but the desire to keep enduring takes strength, and to those of us who have never been tested like that, it is absolutely, 100% strength of character and will.

  • New Florida law requires city officials to disclose net worth; some are resigning instead
  • This swings both ways. Public information such as voting records, for example, were used to coerce, intimidate, and physically hurt innocent people in the past. I think it takes a mature culture/society to use public information responsibly and I don't think we are there yet.

    Then again, a ton of awful stuff happens in private already, so there needs to be a balance of some kind.

  • Flu and COVID infections are rising and could get worse over the holidays, CDC says
  • It's the same thing every season. Cold, flu, RSV, mycoplasma, hundreds of other viruses and bacteria, now COVID all go up when people congregate. We've known this since grade school.

    Why the news is being sensationalist, who really knows? /s

  • Does anybody have a list of communities to add?

    I'm sorry, is this the place to ask? Are they just called "communities"? Not sub...lemmys?

    I wanted to curate something like old-Reddit for my front-page but I'm having trouble finding any sidebar lists of related communities. Do I just have to search and add each one individually if they're here? Does it matter if it's 'local' or 'all'?

    I'm using Connect for the moment. Thanks in advance!

    EDIT - you guys are awesome!
