honestly check out archipelago, it's a framework that allows you to play a lot of different randomized games with your friends. you can play synchronously or asynchronously, and if you're handy with code, you can even add any game you want to it

while i can appreciate that you're at least respecting that medication choices are between a doctor and a patient, i would love for this myth that ADHD meds are meth to die.

it's incredibly frustrating to see this sort of misinformation perpetuated. it is not difficult to search "differences between adderal and meth", here's one such link if you'd like: https://www.healthline.com/health/adhd/how-do-adderall-and-meth-methamphetamine-differ#differences

there is only technically ONE ADHD medication which is meth, which is... methamphetamine, and as i understand it, it is prescribed very rarely and is quite different from illegal meth

adderal, ritalin, and other less frequently used stimulants are not called meth because they are not meth

this misinformation is harmful because it perpetuates the idea that illegal drugs are the same shit that people are taking for treatment, often for necessary functioning or quality of life, and also perpetuates the judgement of those people for taking those important medications. these associations or judgements can make. people reluctant to get diagnosed or treated, which can prevent them from living their lives to the fullest

i've kind of been wondering this whole time, what power does the supreme court have to enforce its orders? if the president is the enforcer of the laws of congress and the judiciary, then who enforces on the enforcer? apologies if this answer is obvious and i'm just not recalling my government studies well

wonder how much of this is due to prevalence of driving culture and awareness of the dangers of driving while intoxicated... ten years ago, i wouldn't mind driving after i had a few drinks and waited a few hours. but nowadays, i don't even want to hassle with at all

on its 50th anniversary, let's all remember that microsoft has been profiting massively off the genocide in palestine and has recently been targeted by BDS: https://noescapevg.com/xbox-has-been-added-to-the-bds-list-so-what-now/

kinda more like all the fingers merged into one innit?

i think that they probably had some sort of choice, but i imagine they also needed to work to live, right? very few places in the world let you have food and shelter for free, so i think there's at least some of an argument that doing this stuff is forced in some way or another. plus, it might (have been sold as) paying better or being safer than the conditions they had previously

they're hardly the only ones to work in unethical (or downright criminal, depending on how you view it) fields. and i'm not sure holding them in crowded, filthy conditions like this, where they're spreading disease among each other and sharing something like one toilet to 80 people, makes amends for what they've done, or even makes the world a better place

i just think we can wish for justice while still acknowledging that people are deserving of some basic amenities for being people

........ can a brother get a source on this??

i guess it's a good motivation to go actually read the paper. i can't stand not knowing if the summary i just read was accurate or not (and i'm assuming that you didn't go double check yourself, either. not hating, but it is a known downside to using AI summaries)

... oh, do you (the reader) want to know if it was accurate? guess you'll also have to read the study to find out :p

seems especially relevant when talking about a study related to discerning truth from false

it... works but it doesn't work nearly as well as discord for gaming screen sharing, at least with the bit of testing i've done with mh wilds

i need to get like this echidna

no recommendations but i just hopped back on HotS and share your sentiment haha

oh my fucking god i'm so pissed on your behalf, that's such bullshit!!!

(also a rant, on a related but separate topic) holy FUCK along the same lines, i really hate it when people lurk in the parking lot waiting for someone to leave so they can park there! like wow, yeah, impede the flow of traffic and pressure the person leaving to hurry so YOU can have that space

i hate it so much, it makes navigating an already-packed grocery store even worse. the ppl at costco are SO bad about this 💀💀💀 just go park further away, you already have a minute long walk to the store, another minute won't kill you!!!

this is my personal bar for whether someone is a good person or not :)

(exception for anyone who legitimately needs the closer parking spots but cannot get the disability parking spots for whatever reason. but they are a TINY minority of people)

can we at least get a content warning on this shit

actually yk fuck it the mods here suck anyways, come join us at onehundrednintysix instead, i should have unsubbed here already

it's good to have that additional context. it's interesting to see how federation affects moderation and the issues that can present and how it aggravated the differences in moderation approaches

that said, even rescinding my argument about whether they were moderating, we're still left with obvious ideological differences that would be bad to disastrous for the community in a place as active and ideologically unaligned as lemmy.world, nevermind the clear contempt that the mod team has shown for the community's own preferences and safety

as an aside, thank you for the moderation work you do on this instance. while my interpretation that the c/196 mods were doing nothing was incorrect, it seems plain to me that your moderation style was still a good influence on the community (albeit at the cost of extra workload for you). it's always good to see you around and i appreciate your presence and effort

thank you for providing the link to the source

it's really incredible how the more i learn about the situation, the more the current mod team just seems like a complete mess

i'm from beehaw and i support our decision to defederate from lemmy.world, and honestly, i agree with ada's moderating decisions. i don't come to 196 to deal with people "just asking questions" or getting transphobic trolls coming in and CERTAINLY not cis people whining about how they don't get their good boy ally points

especially if the post about you leaving 196 reports to languish unattended to is accurate (it's from another user on this post who i can't see while on beehaw, i'm guessing they're from a defederated instance. they quoted ada, but i couldn't find her comment as a source, so i don't know if it's real)

if that's real, we barely know what your moderation style is, and i've been giving you false credit for ada's good moderation

please see the comments for ada's clarification about the moderation workload (tldr is that the mods are not native to blahaj.zone, so reports might be addressed on other instances but not blahaj.zone, frequently leaving ada to deal with them, aggravating their differences in moderation styles)

so we have reason to doubt where your moderating priorities are, you disagree with noted Good Judgement Admin ada, and you unilaterally decided both to move and where to move the community without consulting anyone first

from my vantage, you couldn't even protect us on world if you wanted to, and it really doesn't seem like you want to, either

i think the actual respectful thing to do at this point is to just step down. y'all have disrupted this community enough. there are mods who are interested in, and understand the values of, this community. values that you don't seem to share

let them take over and have things return to normal. make a /c/196 on world if you want, it sounds like there won't be a lot of content to moderate anyways

the lack of response to this is telling

yeah i'm tending to agree with this, especially as i'm skeptical that the culture will remain the same on lemmy.world. would be nice to have a fallback plan; and, indeed, this whole plan seems to have been orchestrated without consulting the community much at all
