You make an excellent point about the fediverse with which I wholeheartedly agree, but the point still stands that OP’s experience on lemmy.world in this particular situation was a result of their own unnecessary aggression towards someone asking a sincere question, not because it’s a “queerphobic shithole.”

Not at all. You were just being a gaping asshole over there.

I too enjoy going off my meds for the weekend.

And Dr Ruth. That lady was such a charming little horn dog.

“May you live in interesting times” generally isn’t said with good intentions; interesting can be bad.

I host a handful of Internet facing sites/applications from my NAS and have had no issues. Just make sure you know how to configure your firewall correctly and you’ll be fine.

Unrelated to the main point at hand, but just a quick heads up that a factoid is something commonly believed to be true, but actually isn’t.

God’s just a burst of dopamine.

Scorpions are arachnids, so still works.

I wanted to go into forensic psychology. But then I took a class on Tuesday nights taught by someone whose day-job was forensic psychology and found out how often you’re likely to get sued just by doing your job (assisting the courts means the losing side will often be pissed at and litigious with you).

I graduated with my BS in Psychology and promptly accepted an IT job - I have a natural talent with tech and had work experience from my student job as a helpdesk tech for the college. Now I work nights from home doing core network maintenance for an ISP.

Still trying to figure out if the student loan debt I’m currently buried under was really worth taking on just to get my foot in the door of barely-lucrative employment.

EDIT: If your career interest can be entered into with trade school or studying for and testing for a few certs, college is a waste of money! Don’t do it!

Not all the way through, but I know what you’re talking about and that does seem like a good representation.

That thing looks like a fish skeksis.

Are the solid dudes subject to the effects of density? What does the neutron star crowd look like?

There’s another nifty little container called qbittorrent-natmap that will take care of that for you.

You do realize they aren’t really sending a giant ball of shitty chocolate into space, yeah?

In the address bar of the Firefox app there’s a little icon that looks like a page with some lines on it. Tap that on any page to go to reader mode. Gets rid of most of this junk with a single tap.

Kansas City comes up a number of times in my post history, so I’m not too worried about it. And I’ve got one of those names that don’t really help you in Google unless you’ve already got some fairly specific info on me. But thanks for looking out!

Yes, you are right. And I have already expressed my mea culpas and understanding it was a shitty thing to say. I’m not really sure what else to say.

It sends up a lot of red flags that you are an unstable and dangerous person incapable of controlling their emotions.

All the more reason I would like my meds to not be interrupted by some company’s profit margins.

You’re absolutely right. Having moved past the feelings of frustration, I see that was stupid.

Certainly understandable, and I’ve edited the main post to acknowledge the shitty nature of that part of my comments. I think I was just less receptive to @[email protected] because of their condescending way of putting it.
