In my experience the way to make friends is to go and join clubs focused on activities that you enjoy, every single friend I have nowadays I either met through a common activity or through friends of friends.

The pathowogen spreads.

Instead of looking for other avenues for growth, though, PwC found that executives are worried about falling behind by not leaning into AI enough.

These are the people in charge of the economy.

your intentions for the community

I am going to fix the the sidebar, I am also going to shorten some of the unnecessary parts. (Such as the whole paragraph clarifying that the community is not the place for general transformation content)

Other then that I am probably not going to do much.

why you should be granted head moderator status.

I already moderate three communities, !eevee@pawb.social !kobolds@pawb.social and !fuck_ai@lemmy.world; and so far all three are doing fine.

Okay. Well, I did a bad thing in Church today.

I refused to receive the Eucharist from an Indian woman. I was supposed to go to her. She was in my aisle, but across the Church was the white priest, so I walked across all the pews and received it from him, for fear that I might get fecal matter on my Eucharist, receiving it from an Indian woman.

Plus, I’m not gonna receive it from anyone who’s non-white. Sorry.

Considering what’s happening in the U.S. and in the world with our replacement, I’m not doing that.

I guess I’ll go confess this to my priest. But I’ll continue doing it. That’s the compromise.

Very normal way to think.

That sounds horrible, you are unable to use the ability when it is most needed but can use it when you very much do not need it.

Their music is always so good.

I would recommend rewording the title, right now it reads like you are advertising the service. Please make it clear that this is more of Mozilla’s bullshit.

"Asking me to not be cute is like asking a fish to breathe out of water, it is just not biologically possible.

I always thought it was normal that I could make time pass super quickly by “turning my head off” and living in a fantasy world for a while, but I guess it’s not?

I don’t think it is quite the same thing as is being depicted in the art, the fact they are calling it an “episode” implies that it is involuntary.

I’ve lost a good chunk of that ability anyway, and long wait periods now annoy me.

If you are anything like me then talking aloud really helps with this, whenever I need to wait for something I just mutter little stories to myself while pretending to be on the phone. That is if I am not already thinking about something else.

I was gonna post in !artshare@lemmy.world as well but they say they “appreciate” AI “art” (but don’t allow it) in the rules which I found to be off-putting.

That is a strangely passive way to ban AI slop. Glad you have enough self respect to avoid the bullshit. Great work as always.

Dissociation is a concept which concerns a wide array of experiences, ranging from a mild emotional detachment from the immediate surroundings, to a more severe disconnection from physical and emotional experiences. The major characteristic of all dissociative phenomena involves a detachment from reality, rather than a false perception of reality as in psychosis.[1][2][3][4]

More pathological dissociation involves dissociative disorders, including dissociative fugue and depersonalization derealization disorder with or without alterations in personal identity or sense of self. These alterations can include: a sense that self or the world is unreal or altered (depersonalization and derealization), a loss of memory (amnesia), forgetting identity or assuming a new self (fugue), and separate streams of consciousness, identity and self (dissociative identity disorder, formerly termed multiple personality disorder) and complex post-traumatic stress disorder.[24][25] Although some dissociative disruptions involve amnesia, other dissociative events do not.[26]

The context implies that they are experiencing a very acute form of this.

Same here.

My mistake, thank you.
