Our parents promised us we would feel like fools for thinking we were smarter than them as kids. When exactly does that start?

  • Thankfully, my parents never tried to undermine my self-esteem like that.

    • Have you ever downvoted your own post or comment?

    Jump

  • Yes, if I realized later it detracted from the discussion.

    • Whats ur favorite breakfast show or content to be had while waking up and enjoying a meal and stimulating substance?

    Jump

  • I grew up reading the comics in the newspaper, now I read webcomics.

    • Are there any wrap around sunglasses that don't make me look like a conservative dad?

    Jump

    • Do you think mind control technology would be possible? How long do you think it would take to be invented? (propaganda and indoctrination does not count, I mean actual mind control)

    Jump

  • Let me ask you: What's the difference in result?

    • Can you see magic eye pictures?

    Jump

  • You need a repeating visual pattern, a fairly busy one. Then you need a greyscale image of what you want the "magic" picture to be. You deform the repeating pattern by the intensity of the greyscale image.

    When your two eyes overlay the background images, your brain highlights the distortions and interprets them as depth... at least if your eyes are good enough to give your brain that information in the first place.

    If you want to know more, the algorithm to do this is public, and you can set it up in eg. javascript in an afternoon.

    • On Journaling

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've had a continuous blog since... 1999? Since before "blog" was a word. Self-hosted since 2003, write my own blogging software in 2007.

    These days I also have a bullet journal for notes and tasks.

    • Can you see magic eye pictures?

    Jump

  • Nope! But I've made them. I needed to go find someone with more normal eyes to test my creations for me, though.

    • What does everyone here do when you can’t sleep and are wide awake besides being on phone? [serious]

    Jump

  • I read a book. It's quiet, it's restful, it often helps me get back to sleep but even if it doesn't it's still relaxing and worthwhile.

    • If you could go back in time and give your teen self one piece of advice, what would you say?

    Jump

  • Talk to your college advisor regularly, join study groups, go to TA office hours.

    • Tesseract has been discontinued

    Jump

  • That's, uh, not my experience.

    • Thoughts on hopping on the next forum-like app that is ad free until the end of time?

    Jump

  • You mean... this one?

    • Are Trump supporters plain conservative or reactionary?

    Jump

  • They're reactionaries, and deeply regressive.

    • Okay, I want to ask about bots and imitation...

    Jump

  • You're not exaggerating. It's time to move more of our socialization offline.

    • Does anybody else understand they need to make deep connections with people but their social battery has been dead for a while and can't put up with people's BS?

    Jump

  • For me, it's more like:

    My social battery has been dead for a while and I can't moderate my behavior enough to get new people to put up with my bullshit.

    • Do you like the centralized web of today?

    Jump

  • I don't like it, no. But it won't be replaced, just like the wild west Internet of yesteryear wasn't replaced: it's still where we left it. And so will these behemoths be, when we move past them.

    Don't believe me? Livejournal and mySpace are still running, at the same addresses. Your old login still works.

    • The same checks and balances meant to preserve democracy can sometimes become the same roadblocks preventing progress; How difficult should it be to enact policies?

    Jump

  • Not every day you see a conservative comment on lemmy. Thanks for repping.

    • What is wrong with being "Black Pilled"?

    Jump

  • There's no ideology described as being "pilled" that's anything but toxic.

    • Why do people on Lemmy seem to be without personality, aka human touch?

    Jump

  • You're subbing the wrong munis, cousin. I find it very vibrant here compared to most of social media, including blogs.

    • Why do people on Lemmy seem to be without personality, aka human touch?

    Jump

  • Or the patterns I notice in mythological stories across cultures.

    In a Joseph Campbell kinda way, or a "every culture has a flood myth" kinda way?
