Ironically you need therapy in order to go to therapy. If someone has issues with overthinking, anxiety about interacting with people, stress/anger issues, depression that makes them unmotivated of course it’s going to be hard to go to a stranger they’re expected to be their most vulnerable with.

If a company gets so big that it “needs” billions of dollars to build its own town then that company’s profits and decisions should be split among its stakeholders (i.e. all of its employees).
If someone starts a company then they should be rewarded with profits if it succeeds. Contrary to capitalist arguments. The big brains behind companies don’t do it to make 15 billion dollars. They do it instead to get obscenely rich, and despite our completely warped views with companies like Tesla and Amazon, “obscenely rich” starts in the hundreds of millions of dollars maybe a billion dollars if someone was an idiot.
On top of that there are thousands of examples throughout history that show that people don’t invent things solely to make money and the original big brains behind company innovations were not necessarily profit motivated.

5·9 days agoYeah on top of learning language, learning how to sleep, learning to walk, eat, hell how to coordinate their whole body. For 5 years that’s incredible.

Bruh, lmao I totally get the sentiment you’re going for but babies are famously the best at learning things.

movies@piefed.social•Not sure if I'm just old and bitter now or movies have gotten worse
81·10 days agoI kind of agree that’s what I never really got about it. It’s not mind bending. It’s a classic example of movie snobs having never considered that sci-fi could be art and getting confused when the movie asks the audience to make the slightest leap in imagination.
The thing I did like about it a lot is that it’s a very rare movie, especially an action flick, in which the main character is a 40+ year old woman who actually gets a character arc. That was cool.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you automated 95% of your job, but still had to report to an office/cubicle, what would you do with your (40hrs)time?
6·11 days agoI think the thing that would be the most productive would be to start a project you’ve been waiting to work on or something that might make you money. Either studying something you’ve always wanted to do or programming/writing something you’ve always wanted to write.
With 40hrs of paid time you could write whatever you’d like and it doesn’t really matter if it pays off or not so you’re not pressured to compromise on it. But if it does pay off then you’re that much closer to an early retirement or the ability to take more control of your time by working on the thing you want to do.
If you’re happy where you are then yeah. Read a book, play some games etc.

43·1 month agoI just want to affirm that it’s pretty clear to anyone with 1st grade level reading comprehension that you’re not defending Netanyahu but just pointing out that the title of the post is incorrect. Some of these replies are wild.

Its funny, we dont fund all these things because they’re “good enough” to work. And the reason we’re dumping lumps into AI is because it doesn’t even do “good enough” right now but there’s a lot of people that expected it to already.

Technology@lemmy.world•Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 PhonesEnglish
73·1 month agoSorry, but it’s more like a crab apple.
It looks like an apple, it’s presented like an apple, it’s advertised like an apple because that is what makes the YouTuber money. But scientific methods and standards exist for a reason. It’s very easy to produce bad data and especially easy to extract bad conclusions from data if you have an incentive to do so (such as a fan base who might engage with the video less if the conclusions were against their expectations)
There’s a chance that this guy’s conclusions reflect what a proper study might have found, but it’s just too hard to tell if it’s a crab apple or not it’s essentially probably a little better than chance.
This is definitely big city language. 11$ is an expensive sandwich.
Does it get you high? Is it just oxygen deprivation? Or is it a weird thing middle schoolers did for no reason?
And excited
Olive Garden is a restaurant chain. It would be like spending all day on the Arby’s or McDonald’s app with an added layer of Olive Garden being a bit obscure.
