Kissaki , in "To be mad at the right person, for the right reason, at the right time, with a proper response, isn't possible."
@Kissaki@beehaw.org avatar

I think it's very possible.

With the right causation or correlation, the correct person is identified.

Whether right reason refers to being mad at the person for the related reason or the reason itself being valid and rightful, both are possible.

Right time is related to the cause of anger as well as when the anger takes place. Both is possible to be at the right time.

You can even be angry without any visible indication. There's also cases where an aggressive response is the right response. Proper response is possible too.

In-game photography. It's something that doesn't seem covered on Lemmy yet. But Linux works too. Hope to see you posting that fastfetch with an Arch logo soon

The Dorothy Eady always stuck with me. It's fairly well documented.

After falling down the steps at home, she nearly died. When she came back to life, memories were unlocked of a prior life in Egypt in which she was a priestess in an egyptian temple. She would go on to have a very successful career working in Egyptian antiquities.

As for the really really weird shizz, anyones guess. I try not to just arbitrarily cut someone down, but it's unlikely there would be proof of her having a conversation to an ancient diety.

Radiant_sir_radiant ,

Unfashionably late to the party (which seems to be my only secret superpower), but if there's any way to support you, by any means, do let me know. I always enjoy reading what you write and I would love to give something back.

This is such an amazingly beautiful offer that I'm not sure how to respond. Thank you for bringing the burn spirit into the real world ... I'm still working on integrating my experience and know I won't ever be the same person I was last week, but it's such a massive shift that I want to take my time to understand who I now am and the extent to which some of my mental struggles will be different.

And thank you for the kind words about my writing. It means so much to me that what I enjoy doing can bring others joy.

Radiant_sir_radiant ,

Take your time, mate. You're the most important person in your life!

And no need to thank me - I do think you are a gifted writer (however much or little that may be worth coming from an anonymous person who speaks English as their third language) and just wanted you to know that your sharing your stories is much appreciated even though I don't have much to add to them. But I totally wanna cuddle with a raver girl now.

They do give the best cuddles, though raver bois are a close second!

How can you read so much 💀 I'm envious! Does comics count?

shortwavesurfer , in Does anyone else ever just realize that you're not even sure why you want a relationship at all?

The only reason for a traditional relationship over a friend's relationship is friends with benefits. And if you can get somebody who agrees with that, then there's no problem.

Marie also knows that she is not alone — that since the 1960s, more than 2,200 children from across the world have described apparent recollections from a previous life, all documented in a database maintained by the Division of Perceptual Studies within the Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine.

“Advice to Parents of Children who are Spontaneously Recalling Past Life Memories,” reads the headline on the page of the University of Virginia School of Medicine’s website, and further down, “Contact Us,” and that is how they come to the attention of Jim Tucker.

As director of the Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) at the University of Virginia for the past 10 years, Tucker has worked directly with nearly 150 families, making comprehensive records of children’s descriptions of past-life memories.

Stevenson’s ideas faced no shortage of criticism from the scientific community: Some maintain that consciousness is generated by the brain and therefore cannot survive beyond its death; others have speculated that the children he documented could be reciting “false memories,” having been unintentionally pushed toward a particular narrative by their parents.

That impression is echoed by Tom Shroder, a former Washington Post editor and author of “Old Souls: Compelling Evidence From Children Who Remember Past Lives,” who accompanied Stevenson as he studied cases in Lebanon and India.

It didn’t feel lucky in the beginning, when Ryan was waking up sobbing at night and describing things his mother couldn’t fathom: that he remembered living in Hollywood in a big white house with a swimming pool.

JCPhoenix , in Anyone ever swap careers from Corporate to Non-Profit or some other Cause: If so, how?
@JCPhoenix@beehaw.org avatar

I went from non-profit to quasi-governmental (which is still non-profit), to for-profit, and then back to (my original) non-profit. In like a span of 2yrs. In total, I've been in non-profit for like...18-19yrs now?

Like someone else said, there's no money in non-profit. I'm a one-man IT department for a company of like 15. Along with doing other vaguely-IT or outright non-IT stuff. I get paid $65k (I am in the LCOL US Midwest).

This job, compared to my brief 18mo experience in for-profit, is a lot more relaxing and chill. I wasn't overworked at my for-profit job, but I definitely got frustrated with the profit motive being the most important thing. Whereas in a non-profit, quality of service is more important. Sure, any business -- for-profit or non-profit -- needs revenue in order to grow, but revenue generation is not the same as a profit motive.

However...Do be aware that not everything is better in non-profit. Some of my past coworkers left our non-profit to go to for-profits...and it got way easier for them. I don't know if that's something specific to where I work where some people kill themselves for this job, or if all non-profits are this way. Perhaps that's just a job to job thing, regardless of non- or for-profit.

Might be worth a check.

Do you like tech? If you actually do, you might bank on those existing skills and look for another workplace. IT is everywhere and there are places where it's fun. You could ask yourself what's a mission you would care about and start looking for workplaces that are connected and that give the right vibe. Personally I build web stuff for education and I'm a happy camper.

D&D and TTRPGs in general.

Board games toa lesser extent but I'm broadening that knowledge quickly.

I need out over weightlifting and computers with my family at all times.

Paragone , in Beehaw, what are your thoughts on Thomas Berry's 10 principles?

A question to consider, in the frame-of-reference of these 10:

What are the rights of rabies-virus?

It is a form of life, so it must have rights, then, yes?

Smallpox?

Ebola?

Bloodworms?

Cancer?


Malfunctions happen, chaotically: including malfunctions in genetics, in evolution, in ecology, etc.

Sometimes correction is required.

Within an individual, within a population, or within an entire-ecology.

This 10 doesn't allow that.

( also, it is life, not existence, which is the fundamental-validity: lumps of lead exist, they aren't living )


just the opinions of an autistic rando, is all:

pay no attention to meanings of mine.

Paragone , in Hi, bees! Outside of news and politics, what kind of topics would you like to see more on Beehaw?

Decades ago, I discovered that there are 4 dimensions that need to be covered, in balance, in community news:

  • the Strategic issues, 7+y as a rough guideline, for significance
  • the Tactical issues, 1-3y as a rough guideline
  • the little Pervasive annoyances that never get given a headline, but are a "tax" on people's wellbeing
  • Grow The Good!! community, culture, accomplishments, anchoring people's hope, humanity, validity, etc.

Leaving-out any 1 of those 4 dimensions has long-term costs.


this is just what one autist discovered, it doesn't mean you have to think there's any validity in the concept.
