World News@lemmy.world•Mother of 10 found guilty of keeping teenage girl as ‘house slave’ for 25 yearsEnglish
40·6 hours agoWhat a horrid story. At least there is some sigh of relief with this first sentence.
Since being rescued, the woman is now living with a foster family, attending college and has been on holidays abroad. She has suffered nightmares about her ordeal, and has a constant wish to clean.

71·1 day ago~~It’s kinda corrosive I think, which can remove things that clog the sink. However, professionals have complained about this to me. I think they said, that if it doesn’t flush through, that after the reaction it will just add to stuff clogging your pipes. ~~ Others in this thread seem to have more solid info about this reaction.
Especially if the pipes are too thin, they can clog easier. If it’s a lot of fat that’s clogging it, slowly pouring hot water was recommended to us, because of course fat dissolves with heat.
At some point though we tried so many things, the buildup was just too much. These barbed twisty metal tube thingies weren’t long enough to reach the end of the pipe where all the build up happened.
Then we learned about a machine that’s basically just like these barbed twisty things, but with motor-powered rotation and extension/retraction. Also super long and some have a camera.
They are quite costly and we got a professional to bring and do it for us. But I was thinking, what a great way to make money! With that you should be able to clear pretty much any clogged sink.
There are some professionals who upload their work on youtube too :)
Also related, there are machines that work by suction to clear the sink. But unlike these motor-powered rotation things, they can fuck the plumbing, since it can be a lot of force.

Off My Chest@lemmy.world•The cynicism behind faulting americans who didn't even vote for Trump is concerningEnglish
13·1 day agoYou completely misunderstood me.
Everything I said is to say precisely that I don’t blame the average American. I mean, I even talked about people generally, not Russians after the first sentence, and specifically said that I don’t care for blame generally…
I don’t blame the average Russian for having Putin in power, I don’t blame the over-worked people who get sucked into brainwashing. If you expect people with worse resources to perform as well as you with better resources, then shouldn’t you expect even more of yourself? I don’t really care for blame generally.

3·1 day agoThis is so bad. Lmao.
Sure, there is some truth thrown around here and there. Yes, positive affirmations are a thing. But so much rubbish as well.
The site looks so incredibly untrustworthy and unprofessional as well. I think you’re better served looking elsewhere for health advice.
هذا سيء للغاية. ههه.
صحيح أن فيه بعض الحقيقة هنا وهناك. نعم، التوكيدات الإيجابية موجودة. لكن فيه الكثير من الهراء أيضاً.
الموقع يبدو غير موثوق وغير احترافي على الإطلاق. أنصحك بالبحث عن نصائح صحية في مكان آخر.

Off My Chest@lemmy.world•The cynicism behind faulting americans who didn't even vote for Trump is concerningEnglish
181·1 day agoI know this is Off My Chest, so I’m glad you could get it out there :) But here are some thoughts, if you wanna have a look.
I don’t blame the average Russian for having Putin in power, I don’t blame the over-worked people who get sucked into brainwashing. If you expect people with worse resources to perform as well as you with better resources, then shouldn’t you expect even more of yourself? I don’t really care for blame generally. Everything is ultimately very interconnected. I just want change, and try to focus on that and am happy for any positive actions people take.
I also think it’s a bit silly to just look at voting, when that’s such a small part of upholding/creating justice and democracy. What about the people who work on transparency, social and ecological justice, regardless of who’s in power? Just a few of the things that contribute to direction an entire nation state takes.
Here’s a related excerpt from MLK’s Riverside Speech
Really, I think the entire speech is just as powerful and relevant today.
Now, I’ve chosen to preach about the war in Vietnam because I agree with Dante, that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality. There comes a time when silence becomes betrayal.
The truth of these words is beyond doubt, but the mission to which they call us is a most difficult one. Even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government’s policy, especially in time of war. Nor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought within one’s own bosom and in the surrounding world. Moreover, when the issues at hand seem as perplexing, as they often do in the case of this dreadful conflict, we’re always on the verge of being mesmerized by uncertainty. But we must move on. Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony. But we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. And we must rejoice as well, for in all our history there has never been such a monumental dissent during a war, by the American people.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does anyone else feel like "analog" stuff is more "tangible"?English
4·2 days agoDigital just adds more layers of abstraction before it reaches you and your message goes out to wherever. And there’s more signal stuff around it.
I can see my notepad. I can move it around, I could put paint on my fingers and touch it to draw something.
On a computer, I hit keys and they send a signal through the machine with a bunch of stuff going on before it appears on the screen. The computer might have some issues and then, even if I hit the keys nothing happens or something unexpected. And when I break the screen it’s not on the screen anymore, but somehow still there and went god knows where on the way.
The notepad is a lot simpler.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the worst game you've ever had the misfortune of playing? English
6·2 days agoHot damn, spicy!
I don’t recommend you play DotA. You can be kept hostage for over two hours there by griefers! Though I think it’s a lot less hardcore now the way it’s balanced, and there’s behavior score.
It’s a hard thing to balance game ruining behavior in public games, especially when there is ranking/ELO.
I had over 10k hours in DotA. But pubs just became psychological torture at some point. A pro actually said, the way he reaches the top in the public ladder is to be psychologically on top of your game. And basically babysitting the psyche of your entire team, as they are similar rank to you skill wise, but might lose their shit after one mistake, or whatever, which happens on both teams.
My conclusion was that these games are great, but best enjoyed with pre-set teams or private leagues.
Rocket league was kinda leisure for me, as the games are so short. Also lots of fun to just practice flip resets, air dribbles, and so on in the freeplay training mode. But it’s still frustrating and mundane, when you’re forced into a certain playstyle in order to win no matter how your teammates play, rather than playing off of each other more.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Gamers, how complicated is it to play games? (setup question)English
3·3 days agoHey!
If you like retro games, there’s Batocera.linux for example. It comes with a lot of games out of the box, but you can add more ROMs of course. It’s just a bit of a process to get all the artwork for them to make things look nice and all.
Batocera.linux is an open-source and completely free retro-gaming distribution that can be copied to a USB stick or an SD card with the aim of turning any computer/nano computer into a gaming console during a game or permanently. Batocera.linux does not require any modification on your computer. Note that you must own the games you play in order to comply with the law.
I also find Wrath Of The Gods quite fun.

Casual Conversation@piefed.social•So.... am I being weird that when my mom says she loves me, I don't really feel like reciprocating the phrase... [Discussion: How are your relations with your Family of Origin? Family of Choice?]English
5·3 days agoOne of my parents truly loves me dearly, but hurt me emotionally a lot and caused a lot of trouble. They had a version of me in their head, but didn’t really do the work to see and understand the layers of me and my experiences.
It’s been a very stormy relationship, because of course I’d strike back at some point when I’m hurt, or my emotions overflow at some point, and then they strike back, and so on. But eventually I learned to accept “ok, they are like this,” and focus on what’s in my power to deal with it. Which is mainly having boundaries. And with those boundaries I know the settings in which I can deal with them and have a decent time. We understand each other a lot better now as well.
Mind you, they are nothing like your mother and I was in my late twenties or so when I started to understand this and put it into action.
But it was a similar thing where they’d give me shit, give me zero room for expression, shut-down and then the next day say they love me and wanna hug me. So a part of me was - at least subconsciously - of course like, ‘wtf? I do not trust this’ and didn’t want to say it back or hug them as that wasn’t what I felt. They even made fun of me, like that it’s a weird thing of me, like “ooooh, ‘don’t touch me’”, which led to more resentment later.
It was very confusing. Now when they wanna hug me and I don’t feel like it, they get it. Or if they write “I love you” and I’m not feeling it, I might joke back, “I tolerate your presence too”.
I was always switching between appeasing, submitting and inevitably rebelling, lashing-, and freaking-out. So they had good exercise :)
Though you can say things that you don’t mean to be done with it, I think there might be better ways. I think I if I was in your shoes, I might reply with a measured response, like, “I appreciate you, but you know I also have my issues with you, and I’m not feeling it right now.” Perhaps adding, “bless your soul/wish you a good day” or whatever might be authentic and fitting for you.
I’m having trouble focusing right now, but I want to add that what your feeling makes total sense. If you hurt someone and there isn’t any acknowledgement or attempts resolve the mistake around it, you can’t just cover it up with love-bombing later. A part of the body remembers and has good reason not to trust this love as much as it’s thrown at you. I actually talked to someone professional about this exact thing recently, and they said that some people, whether conscious or not, they cover up their mistakes by just scrubbing it under the rug, and covering up with love, they don’t want to look at it, and they want to bring you to that point too.
