It’s good at automating basic things, it can really help be a tool but it’s extremely lacking and while it will lead us to new places, I think it will go hand in hand with how we regulate and evolve alongside it.

In college, I focused a lot of my time on working in a laboratory and studying with a difficult major. I also did have a close group of friends but I was far too committed to school.

It ends up working out, most people grow apart from college. It is a special time in your life, you are learning about who you are and what you like to do. Ultimately, in my opinion, it was far more important to me to learn how to work hard, solve complex problems and be resourceful than the social aspects.

If it is your last year, I would heavily recommend focusing on connections with staff, career services, other people who will be useful for getting a job, figuring out how to best apply all these skills you’ve learned into a career.

I was able to use a connection from a class to get into a job that led to the role I’ve been at happily for over a decade. So, definitely I would think about the future, connect with those around you, try to trust yourself that you’ll figure it out.

Why wouldn’t it?

wow, this is actually amazing.

You’d think a rapidly developing service like Lemmy might face restrictions like that due to resources but Twitter? Mismanagement beyond belief.

It was very satisfying flipping and sliding phones like this. I wonder how it would be to transfer back to a tactile physical keyboard after all this time. I’m not sure if it’s just nostalgia but I almost feel like it would be better

Seconded

I definitely find the content to be deeper and more meaningful. I like the slower pace but I find myself excited to see posts with lots of comments.

I really was dreading work this week. There are a number of large things that are kind of just getting kicked down the road so it’s hard to truly disconnect on the weekends. I have a good plan and support network but it’s just a long road.

Sometimes in life, we have to just accept being uncomfortable and work through it. I have also found a new power in positive self-talk, combining this with meditation has given me some well needed moments of peace of mind.

If you’ve never considered therapy, here is a sign to talk to somebody professionally. In my experience, existential dread is best discussed with building up a foundation of good mental health practices. A couple of more specific thoughts:

Every generation of humans have thought they’d be the last. We are a resourceful species.

What does the future hold? How will climate change impact our lives? It’s really unknown at this point. All the articles and science in the world is educated speculation.

There are new technologies being created but in a lot of ways the pandemic showed us that people really cannot seem to get it together. If you are passionate about the environment, there is many areas of activism and volunteering to get involved with.

Ultimately, you cannot control what happens with the climate or the future. A lot of times anxiety can come from situations we can’t control but so much of life is out of our hands. Learning to live in the moment and go with the flow is an art.

Personally, I love it. I was disgusted by Reddit’s actions after 12 years of using the site daily and made a full hop over to the Fediverse.

I have deeper and more meaningful interactions with people and content. It’s been enjoyable for sure to see a quickly evolving and changing place.

I see a lot of people lamenting how the shutdowns didn’t kill reddit and how the Fediverse won’t ever take over reddit? And I couldn’t care less, in fact I think it’s probably a good thing. I like this more niche engagement and look forward to participating as it continues to grow.

yeah that’s the most tragic part of the story in my mind. I hope it was quick and painless for his sake.

been really enjoying contributing and connecting on Beehaw and Lemmy in general. Trying to do some reading and playing through Diablo 4!

100% it’s amazing to see what’s happening in some places like Arizona. They talk about water shortages and halting construction to manage water levels. Yet they sell most of the water usage in the state, 70% to agriculture. Including alfa alfa sprouts that are grown to be exported to Saudi Arabia.

ah ha, my clients company will have outages with the servers every couple of months, this one was a lot longer.

That’s nuts, doesn’t look like anybody got seriously hurt but must have been pretty scary.

where my D4 Druids at, that reminds me of hurricane 🌀

I am trying to practice mindfulness and gratitude a little more. I was able to lead Father’s Day for my dad and Father-in-Law. I grilled out all day and really did a pretty good job.

Even with the normal family gathering irritation, I was able to keep my cool and make it through 🤙

Definitely been trying to use the vents consistently. I am looking at getting a free-standing induction burner just to give me some more flexibility.

Excellent! (Eggcellent?) “scrambled eggs with benefits” is very clever and put a smile on my face this morning.

100% - I am so amazingly refreshed every day about the quality of interactions I’ve had here. I don’t miss it at all, I’m glad this isn’t reddit.
