Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you mateys and folks deal with the sheer amount of music available out there?2·1 day agoThis site has helped me discover lots of new artists I never would have found otherwise: https://www.music-map.com/
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Idaho bans ‘Everyone Is Welcome Here’ classroom signs, calling them ideologicalEnglish5·1 day agoThe world needs more comic/game/costume/sex shops…
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Idaho bans ‘Everyone Is Welcome Here’ classroom signs, calling them ideologicalEnglish2·2 days agoI’ve visited there exactly once, and you’re right - it was crazy. I never went back and never plan to go back unless this backward state comes to it’s senses.
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Idaho bans ‘Everyone Is Welcome Here’ classroom signs, calling them ideologicalEnglish22·2 days agoMy list of reasons to never visit Idaho just keeps getting longer and longer.
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What organizations/causes/people/whatever are most worthwhile to donate to?24·3 days agoACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think it would be more cool if society kept using tech like telephones (the non-"smart" type), pagers, telegraphs, and radios, instead of the internet?6·4 days agoYou make perfect sense, and I’m inclined to agree with you. I think an argument can be made that the internet, for all it’s positive aspects, has made our society worse in a lot of ways. I would love to go back, even though I know it’s not possible.
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.51·4 days agoI believe someone else used the term ‘sealioning’. It fits, in your case. This is why I don’t see any point in having a debate with you. Waste your time with someone else.
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.61·4 days agoNever a waste of time to speak truth.
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.71·4 days agoI see no need to do this.
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.181·4 days agoI would argue that morality came before religion or spirituality, and therefore does not require either of them to exist.
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Seems like the perfect day to ask: Muricans, what's your dream country to expatriate to? Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees?11·4 days agoI’m thinking either Finland or Norway. But the only way I could ever emigrate to either of those countries would be as an asylum seeker. I don’t make enough money, nor do I have any skills they want. I’ve got plenty of skills…just not any that are in ‘high demand’.
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct202·5 days agoOne doesn’t do the right thing to be rewarded or to ‘get ahead’. One does the right thing because it’s the right thing to do. Selfishness only leads to insecurity and loneliness.
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Share your wisdom (?). Have lots of knowledge but "my bones" crave and cry out for true wisdom2·8 days agoIt doesn’t help that our culture - especially internet culture - loooooooves self-deprecating ‘humor’. We even put ourselves down for putting ourselves down! I’ve had a lot of success with trying to focus more on my triumphs than my failures. It’s all about the language I use with myself, I’ve found. When I have a victory (even a small one), I say “Good job! You nailed it!”. When I fail, I say “Well, that sucked…but you’ll get it next time. Keep trying!”. Most of us don’t have our own personal cheerleaders, so we have to become our own. :)
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Share your wisdom (?). Have lots of knowledge but "my bones" crave and cry out for true wisdom201·8 days agoEmulate honorable people instead of popular people.
Never use ‘telling the truth’ as an excuse to speak without thought or compassion.
You are 100% responsible for what you say and what you do. Own your shit.
If someone is trying, but struggling - encourage them. If someone is struggling, but not really trying - encourage them.
Don’t waste your time trying to ‘be a leader’ or climb any corporate ladders. Just do your job and be kind, generous, truthful and compassionate. What is meant for you will be for you.
Read. A lot. From actual books. As many as you can get your hands on.
Stop putting yourself down. Seriously, it’s not fucking helping you. AT ALL.
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It used to be just weird Christians, but now everyone's pretty much on board with burning Harry Potter books.302·9 days agoWhen you reveal yourself to be a bigoted, hateful person, most evolved and compassionate people tend to dislike you.
‘Christmas Shoes’. Google it.
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which actor/actress are you unable to dissociate from one of his/her role?3·12 days agoI will stay my Hammer of Vengeance just this once…and agree that he is a very accomplished and talented actor…who just happens to be Gandalf, not Ian McKellan. ;)
Fletcher@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which actor/actress are you unable to dissociate from one of his/her role?3·12 days agoWhile he did a decent job with Magneto, I would say that his Gandalf is far more recognized.
This has not been my experience, unfortunately.
