Someone asked this on Quora: “I learn very quickly by asking questions. Is it acceptable to interrupt someone during a conversation to gain more clarity on a topic?” Which I relate to a lot....
HELLO amazing helpful Lemmitors (Lemmians… Lemurs. Whatever). I hope I can explain this clearly. I desire a pair (2) of PlayStation 2 controllers which work wirelessly via the SAME wireless dongle stuck into BOTH PS2 controller ports at the same time. This allows me to turn one off while my friend on the other side of the room...
Thank god for TV Tropes. The “subtitle” meaning “closed captions” or “sub-name” thing still bugs me. Am I the only one bugged by one name being used for multiple things confusingly? Like how “chips” is often used to mean either potato crisps (packet chips) or potato fries (hot chips). Why not just use different names, you know?
Does something uncompassionate have to be done to a human in order for it to be inhumane? Couldn’t it also be done to non-human animals/any sentient beings?
Only one in 10 feel leaving the EU has helped their finances, while just 9% say it has benefited the NHS, despite £350m a week pledge according to new poll...
I’m not even Bri’ish and I would vote for that. Europe should laugh at them hard then throw in the rope and let them climb back into the boat before they proper drown.
Reading this in a Minnesotan accent. Ah jeez! Who coulda seen this coming, ha, hon? They really, well, they shot themselves damn near in the foot, didn’t they now? Don’cha know the Eurapeans want to help you now, but these racists ya see, racism always gets in the way of peace. That’s what my mother always said.
Hearing the movie is getting bad reviews. But Snyder says the director’s cut will be a completely different movie with a different vision. I admit Zack Snyder’s Justice League (director’s cut) was much better than the theatrical version and quite different (though I had mostly forgotten the original by then). Not sure if I...
I think Australians do the worst New Zealand accents and vice versa. So maybe closely related countries just don’t understand each other/their differences as much as vastly different countries in certain cases? In some ways it’s the other way around tho so idk.
After a suicide attempt and seeing a psychiatrist I was told I probably have avpd. I lurk on Reddit, and checked out the avpd subreddit. My god. I found people just like me. It’s not depression. It’s not social anxiety. I’m not autistic. It’s just a complete… inability to create friendships. I’m just broken....
I got banned from Reddit and I don’t know why. The bot refused to tell me and ignored appeals while repeating the same automated message that I violated their code of conduct (not telling me what it was) and it doesn’t make sense. I really need a way to bypass this ban and access Reddit in order to get help from different communities that only have a presence on Reddit. I only use this site because I can’t access Reddit but not enough people use Lemmy to the point where many communities only exist on Reddit
An example is that I generally despise Jordan Peterson and most of what he says, but I often quote one thing that Jordan Peterson said (in the linked video) because I think it’s a good summary of why toxic positivity doesn’t work....
Yeah I understand, and that does probably happen a lot. But we also seem to live in an age where we assume the worst of people… so even though it’s possible to partly agree with someone while genuinely condemning other aspects of that person, people are somehow certain that others are using that as a gateway to awful shit, as you say. (Not talking about you, of course.)

Is it ever acceptable to interrupt people during conversation or especially important dialogue/argument/debate?

Looking for a set of 2 wireless PS2 controllers which can be swapped around to make either player 1 using only the controller itself

Does anyone wish they could go back to the beginning of schooling and re-live their education/school experience from the start?
I feel like I would make use of it more if I could do it again. Maybe that’s weird, I don’t know....
Should I wait for the "Snyder cut" (director's cut) of Rebel Moon?
Hearing the movie is getting bad reviews. But Snyder says the director’s cut will be a completely different movie with a different vision. I admit Zack Snyder’s Justice League (director’s cut) was much better than the theatrical version and quite different (though I had mostly forgotten the original by then). Not sure if I...
