What is the dumbest thing sleep deprivation made you do? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[-] candyman337@lemmy.world 41 points 10 months ago

Took some nyquil because I wasn't feeling well, I had stayed up until like 4 and I was too tired to realize that the drowsiness wouldn't wear off before I woke up. Got up feeling almost drunk and drove to work. I feel asleep on the road and woke up with just enough time to slow down before rear ending someone at 50 mph.

Why don't schools simulate a typical 9 to 5 work week for students and remove homework entirely? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[-] candyman337@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

Schools in the US were designed to prepare kids for factory jobs initially. A lot of the structure related to that has changed but the amount of time you spend at school hasn't. Realistically you'd want a kid to spend less time at school. But schools are now used to prepare kids for working all day and then giving up their free time to their employer. That may be a little tin hat-ie, but it's at least partially true. However as a kid a few extra hours at school wouldn't have cut it for me. I preferred to do my work at home, I was also super distractible because I had adhd. Additionally as others have said that just wouldn't be feasible for a lot of kids/families.

You can't lump in blm riots in there, those were protests stoked to violence by police officers, so what you should be saying it's, corrupt police forces resulting in blm protests

People say it feels like old reddit and it does to a degree, but in other ways it feels better!

People are so interested in finding alternatives to the systems that we hate, and actually are passionate about supporting those things and developing them into useable and enjoyable platforms.

People are interested in spreading the word about the importance of unions and the climate crisis. Idk if those posts just get squashed on reddit, but I've seen SO much more talk of workers rights and informing others about them.

It just gives me hope about the future for once. Like things are happening that are different, and I know that we can't be silenced here. This is a platform by the people, for the people, and that can't ever be fully taken away.

Just as the title says, I have two accounts on connect

On for sh.itjust.works, and one of lemmy.world

When I'm logged into the lemmy.world the sidebar opening especially lags way more than with the sh.itjust.works account

Edit: it appears to possibly be related to the number of subscriptions rendered in the list.

Before they load things seem to run more smoothly

How can we improve Lemmy’s SEO so we can google “(question) lemmy” instead of relying on “(question) reddit” in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] candyman337@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

But you have to choose the instance you're searching, that's the opposite of what I want, I want to search all instances, or at least the top 100 or something, all at once

My notifications on any app I login to say "not_logged_in".

Some apps say I'm not following any communities, others do.

Any time I close out the website, when I open it again I have to login.

Some apps don't let me comment.

Edit: it was an issue with sessions on lemmy.world not my account. It appears the admins are working on this still? Idk, apps are still giving me issues.

Agreed on all counts, but y'know doesn't look good before an IPO, I hope it gets worse.

That may sound like not a lot, but Facebook as been hemorraging users for a few years now, if they're losing users at about the same rate as Facebook, that's a big oof.

Keep it separate, mass de-federate. The biggest lemmy instance has to make a stance.
