- that sugary sweets make kids act “hyper”
Do you happen to have a source for that? Coz I have witnessed kids act like a horde of wild monkeys on crack right after eating dessert on multiple occasions.
Not a native speaker but the last one, using ‘it’ instead of ‘they’ would sound the most natural to me
Yeah I think its just that minus the waking up again part. Probably just nothing. But yeah noone can know for certain.
I imagine being anesthesized could feel similar, as the consciousness fades away and thats what we use/need for experiencing life.
There are more or less accepted theories in psychology that fear of death is ultimately the basis for all our fears. Fear of being left alone is a result of evolution telling us we will die without a community. Fear of failure because we would get cast out, hence being alone and dying without the communuty etc. The hypothesis is that once you accept death as an inevitable part of life, the path leading there will be much more enjoyable.
What I find interesting is that you are saying you dont enjoy life but are afraid of dying. If life isnt enjoyable, would disappearing really make a difference? (genuine question)
We experience the world through lenses that our brain programmed through our experiences. I think the extent to which one enjoys life deoends heavily on how that persons brain ‘expects’ life to be enjoyed. If your opinion is that life is generally not that great, you wont experience the different joys it brings. In some cases, our brains can be ‘tricked’ very easily. For example, when you have a hiccup, tell yourself ‘hiccups arent real’ like you really believe it. The hiccup will go away within seconds. What Im trying say is if you tell yourself that you are enjoying some things and that life is great, eventually that will become your new reality. The trick behind motivational videos/speeches/coaches is that you receive the information from another person. If you believe that person is telling the truth in saying life is great, your brain may adopt to that. Telling it to yourself is way more efficient though because your brain is already you, but it obviously seems stupid talking yourself into things you dont believe.
Of course clinical depression is a different matter and needs professional care.
Maybe they meant ‘was depressed once’ ^^
I have a monthly recurring donation to the GiveWell Top Charities fund. GiveWell ranks charities by efficiency (i.e. impact per dollar) and distributes the funds donations to the most effective ones. Those include fighting malaria, world hunger, child blindness,…
Yeah sure, ‘murder is okay if its the bad guys’. I think Ive heard that somewhere before…
Thats what I said, seemed like an unpopular opinion…
It was not about self defense, they were saying ‘go and shoot that fucker in the face’
Just yesterday I read a post about a woman being stalked by a supposed Nazi. At least 5 comments were quite literally ‘buy a gun and shoot him’, those had by far the most upvotes. When I said I hope theyre joking, I got downvoted and told you dont joke around when it comes to Nazis.
So yeah, maybe Lemmy is becoming kind of radical.

If you are eating pizza by italian standards, theres only 1 topping besides cheese on there, 2 if you are daring. I like to bend the rules when it comes to personal preference and I also put tabasco on pizza sometimes.
‘found other less problematic drugs’ probably
OpP, I think you wont have any luck in this community. People are probably not interested in topics that are out of their comfort zones. Maybe try a community dedicated to body hygiene.
Exactly. I was kinda confused when I read the question because I dont think they are glorified at all. They probably arent shamed as much as Hitler for example because they dont have such a direct impact on our lives.
