This bracelet was given as a gift to my 6yo daughter yesterday by some very Catholic family members. I have so many questions. Thankfully, my daughter didn’t. I wouldnt have known how to answer them.

    She quickly discarded the bracelet, thankfully, and I swooped it up and it shall never be seen again.

    But we were like… wow. Just… wow.

    TIL that New York State paid more for the land for Central Park ($ 7.4 million) than the US paid for the entire state of Alaska ($ 7.2 million).

    More important than that is how the Black settlement of Seneca Village was siezed through eminent domain, and razed to build Central Park:

  • I'll have my first appointment with a psychiatrist tomorrow. What should I expect?
  • GuyDudeman GuyDudeman Now 100%

    Oh there’s always side effects. But for me, they were absolutely worth the difference in how my brain worked. I became functional again. Also, the psychiatrist will tell you all about the side effects. Let them know what you’re afraid of. They won’t lie to you. They will help find the right chemical for your issues. Might not find the perfect one right away either. But it’s worth trying, in my opinion.

  • GuyDudeman GuyDudeman Now 100%

    Good luck! Whatever you do, know that you’re not alone and that these professionals’ jobs are to make you feel like you can make it through the day, at the very least! So make sure they do their jobs. Don’t ever feel like you’re wasting their time or anything, which is what I struggled with. They’re there to help you.

    I’m also glad you girlfriend is a psychologist. My wife has helped me through so much stuff, and she isn’t a psychologist, she’s a baker. But without her, I wouldn’t be here. And I certainly wouldn’t have sought help if she hadn’t helped me realize that what I was experiencing could be alleviated with help from professionals.

    To add to this, the therapist is going to help as well, so keep going to your therapist, especially if you are starting a prescription.

    It can be a rollercoaster for the first few months when you start any psychiatric medication, until your body adjusts.

    But stick with both your psychiatrist and psychologist and always let them know immediately if/when you feel strange or “off”. It will help tremendously.

    I wish you luck!

  • Anyone else find the English accent hard to understand?
  • GuyDudeman GuyDudeman Now 100%

    The English language has evolved quite a bit over time. In fact, researchers have determined that in Shakespeare’s day, the typical English accent (and the one in which he wrote the rhymes in his works) sounded much like what we would consider a “pirate” accent.

  • I was thinking about this recently… By going to a federated system, one that essentially copies all of your content from one instance to another, when you delete a comment, does that comment get deleted on every instance? Is that even possible?

    So, let's say you have accounts on multiple instances. And let's say you use each account separately and none of them you consider your "home" instance yet. It would be cool if there was a web app that could allow you to login to each of the instances, and it would gather your message inbox into one inbox, and allow you to reply to each message from the instance account that it was attached to. Or to switch accounts if you want to start using a single instance as a "home" instance. Does that make any sense? Like, I've got separate accounts on Lemmy.ml, Lemmy.world, Lemmy.one. Beehaw.org, etc. and I've been logging in separately to each of them because I don't have all the community subscriptions synced between them all yet and I'm not sure which one I want to use as my home instance. So it would be cool to be able to login to a single web app and see my reply inboxes from each instance.

    Subscribing to lemmy.ml communities from other instances gives "Subscribe Pending" button upon second click of "Subscribe" button

    Hi there... I'm not sure if this is just because lemmy.ml is overloaded right now or what, but if I'm on a different instance and I want to subscribe to a community that lives on lemmy.ml, then when I hit the "subscribe" button, nothing happens. When I hit it again, it gives me this yellow "subscribe pending" button: ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/bca8d505-1a7c-4a96-aa0e-993192b8d97d.png) Is there a queue that the request goes into on the parent instance or something? Or do I just have to wait until traffic dies down to subscribe?

    Hi guys, I heard some news about DC doing another reboot of the universe and restoring it to pre-crisis (like, pre-original crisis on infinite earths) status, so I decided to get back up to speed on the current goings-on, since I kind of dropped off after New 52. I decided to pick it back up after researching what that whole Metal thing was about. I read Death Metal (which was NUTS and awesome), and now I'm moving on to New Frontier, I think. Hopefully I get caught up soon. What are your impressions of DC lately?

    "Show Context" link icons confusion

    Hi guys! First of all, I just want to say thank you again for creating such a great platform. I'm really loving it here, and I hope that I'm not being a pest to anyone. (Please let me know if I'm rubbing you the wrong way and I'll do my best to right my wrongs.) Anyway, I've noticed something on comment replies.... These two links on comment/post replies in your inbox: ![](https://i.imgur.com/s6RR129.png) On both of them, the tooltip says "Show Context" but the first one (the link one) actually is the one that shows the context and the second one (the colorful one) is more of just a permanlink to the comment. Shouldn't the tooltip say "permalink" on the colorful one?

    I've been a fan of Weezer since Blue album (with a small hiatus in the early 00's when Hash Pipe and Island in the Sun were being overplayed on the radio)... But I have to say... everything they've done has just gotten better and better. I think they're producing their best music right now. The Seasons albums were fantastic, in my opinion. I'm just so happy they're still making amazing music.

    Hi there! Welcome to one and all! And I mean that - all factions are welcome here. As long as you're respectful and in good humor. If any conversation devolves into anger, it will be removed, and the users banned for a period of time to cool off. Please keep it light in here. Serious discussions are allowed, but don't get sanctimonious or belittling. Always consider that the other person you're talking to is here in good faith and wants a common goal. We may disagree on tactics, but ultimately we all want to live in a society of wellness for all, and we should work together for that goal.
