My first experience with a pc was Windows 3 also! My parents business computers. I remember playing Jazz Jackrabbit and skifree on it. I was very young. I did get to use bare DOS tho from a hand-me-down computer that only booted into DOS. I’m not afraid of a little Console/Terminal work. I actually prefer it for some tasks. Like Arch’s pacman is SO fast.

We’re the generation that learned to troubleshoot bc we had to. If we wanted to play that shiny new game or app, we had to actually get it running first.

People who use recreationally are taking way too high a dose and way too often compared to what they are doing with the Vets in PTSD. Its a controlled session with a therapist. They aren’t taking so much that they feel the withdrawals from it. The Yt video i mentioned discusses and this, the rave scene, and the negative effects it had on abusers.

Just doing MDMA isnt gonna help, especially if overdone. You gotta do the actual therapy work. The MDMA sets your brain in the right state, but the therapy and introspection are what helps.

Ive had personal experiences with mdma and doing introspection, a long time ago. I managed to gain clarity in places i lacked it before. But that wasnt targeted at helping with my Autism struggles.

For Vets with PTSD, they describe it like, the neural pathways in your brain are like water breaking down a path in a rock. The MDMA allows your brain to break those pathways and create new ones.

Thanks so much for sharing this!

Yeah because some asshole thought he needed the cats more than I did 😮‍💨 and gave up not even half way.

This wouldnt be as much of as issue if Lemmy had better support for connecting with other instances and their communities.

That account still has to be linked to a real person, and not doxing yourself circles back to using social media responsibly. Social media is just that, Social media. You cant swim in the pool and not get wet. The ways in which your describing it being abused are ways in which every facet of every social media can be abused. So if one is so concerned about it, why even bother using social media.

What stuff? Lol what their profile voted for? Thats not going to dox anything like a location or address. If Seth Rogan did an ama and upvoted a 420 post literally nobody would be surprised. Again, voting opinions aren’t a privacy concern. Y’all are making a fuss about nothing.

Well yeah I want people to tie my lemmy.world and lemm.ee accounts to each other, which is why i used the same username, that was intentional. But this username can’t trace back to any of my personal information.

I get what your saying, but I think this boils down to just using social media responsibly. The downvote/upvote system isnt a privacy exposure point. Even with the timed thing, nobody is upvoting the same thing on 2 accounts at the same exact time. And personally if i vote a post or comment on one account I’m not going to bother voting the same with another account.
