Mx linux here! (sysvinit) Just migrated away from systemd due to the drama.

Whatever your preferred matrix client is. That’s the alternative. Element, Nheko, Fluffychat, all decent options.

Is it perfect? Hardly. Is it the best you’re going to get short of some cheap discord knockoff? Yes.

You could just do what the rest of us did and nod your head and not defend walmart?

It’s not like walmart is above it, and it certainly isn’t like walmart needs you defending them.

These are peaceful rallies steered by liberal groups. Those thousands of protestors aren’t exactly militant, they didn’t show up for that. If any radical action actually happened those people will leave and never show up again.

As I move into bigger and bigger cities the people around me insist the answer is no, but I regularly leave the doors unlocked. I also have no issue hitchhiking either so, maybe i’m a bit of an outlier. I’ve got infinite levels of trust in people.

IMO yes they’d be successful.

Full disclosure, my experience with hypno is more kink related and not in a medical context, so my experience will be drastically different than those that get into hypno for therapy because most of the time the people performing it in my case are amateurs leaning heavily on preexisting dom/sub power dynamics (ie not “true” hypnosis). YMMV.

I don’t really visualize things in my head at all. Sometimes on a good day I can imagine almost a fuzzy smoke like outline, but this isn’t a typical day for me. I can imagine sounds, smells, tastes and especially touch/sensations… ickplant@lemmy.world made a great point in one of the comments here. Using the word “pretend” is a far better delivery.

In my personal sessions I have the best experience when people can suspend my disbelief and make me believe they are incredibly skilled, even if maybe they aren’t. Part of that is just me really wanting to be hypnotized, and honestly that’s the biggest thing. If you want hypnotized you will be hypnotized, and if you don’t, you won’t.

I can pretty much just think about the sensation I feel during hypnosis and put myself into a sort of pseudo trance at this point. I listen to audios occasionally and try and do a session with someone about once every couple months. I’m not really fully educated on the mechanics of it all, but I know I enjoy it.

Please explain how this in anyway could even remotely be mocking dependency?

Didn’t we already find out Linus is a scumbag to work for like, 2-3 years ago? Why do we still spread around his content? He’s a talentless hack that got lucky being one of the early tech personalities on youtube through NCIX

Blue grey.

All perfectly reasonable responses to bad questions that waste people’s time tbf.

I think the point is davel has you tagged “ignorantass” on lemmy. Which would imply some kind of equivalent system exists on lemmy too.

Debian. The answer is always Debian.

This is the best one I could find

I like the reliable mom van example. You can paint the rims all nice, put some stickers on it, hang up your fuzzy dice. But it’s still getting the kids home from soccer practice.

True.

Yep. And those rules of etiquette are, no means no, no touching without asking, and if someone tells you to knock it off you stop the behavior immediately & permanently.

Apparently you died waiting for the perfect revolution. Sorry you had to find out this way.

We aren’t anywhere near the idea of perfect revolution, people are still caught up with perfect action planning, perfect rallys, perfect protests, perfect meetings! So many people over think the most basic stuff, it comes from a good place, but it usually leads to impotence.

“Golly gee, our org is so terribly white, that means we can never organize around or make a statement regarding black issues. What if we get something wrong and someone calls us out?” and then the group proceeds to do nothing

That’s the type of shit I hear damn near every single time I’m in an irl organizing space. That’s where the “radical left” is in my area. I know you all have dealt with it too.

You gotta use the information and experience you have to the best of your abilities and move forward. Doing something imperfect will get you far more community respect than doing nothing.
