Thank you for the dose of reality. Of course it would be nice if Florida sank into the sea. But let's try to stick to reality.

The premium has a 2 week free trial. In about a week their revenue is going to explode

Despite everything, if you're in the US, you should still vote in c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

~~Jill Stein~~ you are actually voting for Trump. Stein knows where her funding comes from, and who those funders want to win, and allows that all to happen.

Not trying to attack or anything, I just don't understand the logic of voting for someone who actually is just consciously being a spoiler candidate so the worse one will win.

Teens Want Less Sex in Movies and TV Shows, Study Finds in c/news@lemmy.world

Well yeah, I think this is universal. No one wants to watch a sex scene with their parents

Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] figaro@lemdro.id 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Honestly I don't mind reasonable data caps. Like I get it, they don't want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.

But with 4k streaming, downloading 100gb game updates on PS5, and YouTube basically constantly on in the background, I'll hit the 1TB per month comcast limit in like 2 weeks. And that is just me, nevermind having any roommates at all.

1TB just isn't enough for the modern Internet.

Amazon announces first Kindle ever with color screen, retailing for $279 in c/technology@lemmy.world

Oh nice! Yeah this is 100% the best way to go. I use the app Mihon for finding/reading manga, its basically the same as tachiyomi before it got shut down.

The one I use is the Boox 7.8" Nova Air2 eReader. I chose one without a color screen. The color screens are cool and all, but for black and white content, the color layer makes the white more of a grey color. For that reason I don't recommend the color e ink quite yet.

The 7.8" screen is literally the perfect size for manga. It feels perfect.

Good luck!

I just got a boox e ink tablet. It runs android. I have a sideloaded manga reading app and Google books installed. epub books (found easily on Yandex) can be uploaded to Google books from my phone.

I love it.

'Is Trump okay?' Confusion as 'exhausted' ex-president abruptly ends friendly interview in c/politics@lemmy.world

So I just watched the clip. Granted the clip was only a few seconds, and yes I believe he is old and senile. But.

The clip doesn't seem to give evidence of anything specific. He might have to pee for all we know.

I've been watching a lot of HeathyGamerGG lately. Is he good? (lemdro.id)

For those who don't know, he is a twitch streamer/youtuber that talks a lot about mental health, specifically for gamers and people in the internet generation.

In some videos, he does "therapy sessions" (technically they are not for legal purposes, but they definitely feel like therapy) with various people in the twitch/youtube sphere. I am really interested to hear the perspective of different therapists regarding his content.

Are his interactions with people similar to what you see in real therapy sessions? Most importantly, would it be worthwhile studying how he conducts these sessions and learning from them?

Thanks for any insights!

What would happen if we put a giant glass tinted dome over each city? (lemdro.id)

In this scenario, we aren't trapped in the dome. There are openings and doors, so we can get out, cycle in fresh air, etc.

Is this a viable ~~solution to~~ way to avoid the effects of climate change? Would it be cooler in the dome? Would there be any negative repercussions? Would clouds form inside the dome? Could it rain in the dome? Would the rain be more toxic than usual because car fumes wouldn't dilute as well? Could outside lightning break the dome if it got struck? Would there be a single point in the dome that the sunlight would be directed to that everyone would just have to avoid, else they just burst into flame?

Sorry but I have so many questions about this. Apparently there was a show about the situation, but all I remember is that it wasn't very good. Hank from Breaking Bad was in it.

I was thinking about this today, and would love some kind of feedback from practicing therapists. How do you avoid burnout?
