Sorry! I guess it just did not federate over to me. If you check my instance’s copy of this it says “trash snacks”

You may want to edit the title, it says “trash snacks”

Pleased to see DE with the biggest drop.

I have a use it till it breaks philosophy, but if the thing breaks and I cannot figure out how to fix it myself (or do not think I can do it safely) and have no repair shop to go to, I do have to buy something new. And I am not ready to live so simply I have no smartphone, computer, or WiFi. I do not want to buy more than I need but I am also not interested in anything like “return to monke.” Do not need a TV or Alexa, but I use my rice cooker and hot water boiler daily and you can pry those electric conveniences (that save me so much money in the long run for all the times I pick their convenience over eating out or buying hot drinks from a store) out of my cold dead hands.

For what it is worth they did say they read a ton of neuroscience articles, although yes, engineer without a neuroscience background, so take this with a grain of salt. I think it’s at least a dude earnestly trying who did try to do his research.

If the world had a population of friendly vampires I wonder how many more people the donor pool would gain…

I have seen one get used, and played in a musical theatre pit that called for a theremin player who could also play trumpet. That’s the only relevant stuff I have to say. Best wishes with the community!

You’re absolutely right! I figured I’d glom onto something established first, but I’d rather have an active mod especially since this does not seem to have grown too big. Do I need to sign up for your community? I remember moderation being… iffy between instances, especially if it’s an Mbin/Lemmy jump.

Chances are the program is opt-in, and if not you can probably zone out and pay zero attention if you do not want to participate. ;)

Social sciences are super cool and fascinating, but I ultimately went non-social-science STEM. How about you?

A Systems Thinking one

I had a lot of fun with this in college, had no idea it would pop up in “normal life” (or at least my random internet browsing for fun) under its name instead of just seeing “you know cause and effect isn’t always immediate” in a few arguments and going no deeper. Pleased to see it! Subscribed immediately.

Link works, thank you!

Oh hey, an Mbin-hosted community! Always nice to see.

I’m not personally interested in this myself, but props to you for continuing on after Kbin died.

More used to seeing articles panic about video games, so it’s nice to see a positive article about them. Especially with a demographic not really known for playing them. I’m not the eSport type but this is going to be me when I am old, playing games while the kids yell at me to get off the ancient PC and get with the VR2000 times. It’s just nice to see people being happy and healthy.

I’ve learned that checking comments in UpliftingNews is often counterproductive. Uplifting news, then someone posts a comment that just invokes depression all over again. Yes, I am directly referencing the user above you’s comment as one such comment—though just in case anyone is curious I didn’t downvote (in case one shows up), on topic, probably correct, and I don’t see anything on the sidebar saying depressing comments about how bad the thing the good news is opposing is would be against the rules.

So why am I in the comments now? Unfortunately bad habits are hard to break.

Thanks for the description. I don’t follow award ceremonies so just going by the title it is really unclear why is this supposed to be uplifting, and comes off as just typical celebrity news. The description tells me neatly, and lets me click on the article if I want further elaboration.

I appreciate that the sidebar manages to explain what this is for people out of the loop without linking to Reddit.
