The comments volunteering to assist with translation gives me the fuzzies. (:

My ma is 72 and is still hiking, kayaking, and living her best life. (:

She also wants to hike the entire Appalachian trail before she turns 80!

Earth-dirt is fine! I know what I’m getting into there.

But I have no idea what horrors have accumulated & combined to make floor-dirt. No thank you.

Question from a dummy: why should you use a VPN when visiting?

“Dang. This is, like… the never-ending soda.”

He’d chuck that wood right up yo’ butt. ✨️

Yeah. We’ll see.

Snoop Dogg, I’d wager.

Probably a local gym.

For myself, I sometimes still slip into it when I’m in a place where my anxiety is heightened. I was told I have “borderline DID” (disassociative identity disorder) stemming from PTSD, and that causes these kinds of “defenses” to pop up. Stress can absolutely trigger something like that.

It could very well be a brain injury, an autism quirk, or something else. Sounds like it’s nothing to be concerned about, but I agree that it can be confusing or jarring!

As for her aggressive behavior, definitely talk to your superior about it. Regardless of her issue(s), a coworker should not be so hostile towards anyone.

I remember being in the Stardew Vallet subr×ddit with someone talking about their guilt pirating the game because they really really enjoyed playing it but just couldn’t afford the 15$ price at the moment.

Several players graciously offered to purchase & gift them the game on Steam.

It was so lovely.

People will happily pay for good, enjoyable games they feel are worth the price.

I’d like to play that new Princess Peach game one day, but there’s no fucking way I’m paying 60$ to play a game I’m not even sure I’ll like.

To be fair, I’m not at all offended by your desires! I understand that some folks have desires that are not necessarily rooted to reality. A fantasy, and that’s perfectly fine. Of course no one wants PTSD.

I think my concerns lie in that disconnect, though. Someone fantasizing about a threesome, meeting a historical figure, or a positive experience is something I’d understand. A desire to experience a tragedy? It’s a bit alarming. Even knowing that you’re just curious about the factual experience, the disassociation from the reality of human suffering paired with the events may cause a pause.

If you’re questioning yourself about your desires or people close to you have expressed concern over these thoughts, I’d say go to a professional and talk to someone. Otherwise, research into it. Explore these events, read,watch documentaries, interviews, and things like that.

The human mind is a weird thing. Not inherently bad– just weird. And it’s okay to explore that and think about things sometimes.

I am a sufferer of PTSD from various horrific traumas.

In short: yes. It’s weird. You should talk to a professional about it.

If I could take away these debilitating, paralyzing memories and responses my body has formed due to trauma, I would. It prevents me from living a normal life and I suffer from it every day. Even have a note in my charts that lets medical professionals know that my massively elevated heart rate & blood pressure are a trauma/anxiety-response, not an underlying condition.

I guess maybe I’d view your desire as those kids on Tiktok that were mimicking/cosplaying mental illness, autism, & Tourettes syndrome, because they didn’t really understand the implications of suffering that a lot of folks who have those things go through.

Again: I’d strongly suggest seeing a professional about this.

TwoXChromosome is also dead. Witchy-type instances are abandoned, too. It’s so sad, because I’ve had the most lively and supportive conversations in those places.

There is a grave problem with the Lemmy ecosystem system if women do not feel safe / comfortable using it.

Most of the female-centric Lemmy communities are now abandoned. I’m sure the hostility did not help that. Don’t blame them. I’d never suggest Lemmy as a space for women.

Please be aware that Lemmy is, more often than not, extremely hostile and/or defensive towards female-centric issues or experiences, regardless of validity.

Edit: These downvotes tell me that folks are denying that this is an issue. Maybe y’all should ask / listen to women about what their experience has been discussing female-centric topics on Lemmy.

Brazil has enough problems.

Let them have their anime.

Sheesh.

You’re a hero!

Well whoever it is, they better pitch in for bills.
