What are the websites, articles, books or games most intellectually stimulating to you? - Lemmy.World
Since completing my education, I’ve noticed a decrease in mentally stimulating
activities in my daily life. For this reason I’ve been experiencing a sense of
cognitive decline, feeling like my mind isn’t being challenged or engaged as
much as it used to be. I’m looking for ways to stimulate my brain back. I’m
interested in exploring activities that can help, such as reading, puzzles,
games, and other intellectually stimulating stuff. Could you recommend some
engaging and challenging options to help me get started? Thanks a lot
I've been feeling numb for the past years

I've been feeling numb for the past years - Lemmy.World
Hello everyone, I’m reaching out today because I’m feeling overwhelmed with
anxiety as I reflect on the past eight years. I’ve struggled with mental health
issues, including a mild depression as diagnosed by my therapist, and more
recently, anxiety. While these issues haven’t severely impacted my daily life, I
feel that I’ve stagnated and not made the progress I had hoped for. During these
years, I’ve remained in the same low-qualified, low-paying job. I dropped out of
university due to feelings of inadequacy and never moved out of my parents’
house, despite my dream of living abroad. Now, I find myself just going through
the motions, waiting for the weekend, which often doesn’t bring the joy I
expect. I’m approaching 30 and feel like a failure, a loser, and too old to turn
my life around. At the same time, I feel that my problems are trivial and that I
shouldn’t be posting here. I’m not sure if this is the right community for this
kind of post, so I apologize if it isn’t. I’m just looking for a bit of advice
or resources that might help someone in a similar situation. Thank you for
taking the time to read this.
LGBTQ+ community of the European Union, please let's vote for banning forced conversion practices

LGBTQ+ community of the European Union, please let's vote for banning forced conversion practices - Lemmy.World
We call on the European Commission to propose a binding legal ban on conversion
practices targeting LGBTQ+ citizens in the European Union: Conversion Practices
are interventions aimed at changing, repressing or suppressing the sexual
orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression of LGBTQ+ persons. Such
practices, due to their discriminatory, degrading, harmful and fraudulent nature
have been qualified as torture by the United Nations, and are currently being
banned in a growing number of States. The EU plays a key role in the protection
of fundamental rights and should take actions to fight against all inhuman
practices. The Commission should propose a directive adding conversion practices
to the list of euro-crimes and/or amend the ongoing directive on equality (2008)
to include a ban on these practices. Furthermore, to fight against the
legislative moratorium, the Commission should also enforce a non-binding
resolution calling for a widespread ban of conversion practices in the EU.
Finally, we call on the Commission to amend the Victims’ Rights Directive to
establishes minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims
of conversion practices. All member states should introduce a ban on conversion
practices or review their current ones.
Is there a way to hide all NSFW content from my feed?

I enjoy scrolling the local/global feeds but I often come across NSFW content,
which despite being blurred, annoys me. Is there a way to completely hide that?
Thank you
Feeling different than other people and it's affecting my life

Feeling different than other people and it's affecting my life - Lemmy.World
Whenever I talk or interact with people I feel I don’t talk like a “normal”
person would nor I feel other people’s feelings towards me are positive. Their
interactions with me seem always cold and superficial and it’s not their fault.
I told that to my psychologist, even asking whether I may be autistic or suffer
from other conditions. She said I don’t, but heavy neglect affected me when I
was a kid and it’s not possible for me to become like others, I can just work on
myself. The problem is that I don’t know how to work on this. I really wish for
somebody to point out evey mistake I make when I talk to them so I can know what
I’m doing wrong. Sorry it’s probably just venting but I genuinely got tired of
that.
I shouldn't care but I do. My father has been so absent throughout my whole life

I shouldn't care but I do. My father has been so absent throughout my whole life - Lemmy.World
Hi everyone. I created this community here on Lemmy because I wish to give
others what I have never felt: the love and the support of a father. My father
is alive and well, but I’ve always felt like he was dead. I’ve never received
support, love, or hugs but I instead received disapproval, criticisms, insults
and high expectations from him. I remember telling kids in elementary school I
had no dad. I am at an age where this should not affect me. I am an adult with
his own life but I am unable to feel indifferent to it. His words (or the lack
thereof) still affect me. I want him to be proud of me, at least once in my
lifetime, and whenever I try to say something that I think will make him proud,
I always leave disappointed telling myself “never try again”. My mother was
emotionally unavailable too as she has a schizophrenia diagnosis. I don’t know
what I am looking for by writing this post, maybe just some nice words. I still
wish to be someone’s cherished son. Thank you for reading.

Lemmy.world does not load comments sometimes - Lemmy.World
As you can see, there are “1 new reply” and “3 more replies” buttons but if I
press them nothing happens. It’s not a problem of my app (Voyager btw) because
the same happens on lemmy.world website. The problem is not this particular
post, but almost under every post I encounter this issue. Anyone else? What
causes this?

Have you ever committed mistakes while setting up your homelab?

Have you ever committed mistakes while setting up your homelab? - Lemmy.World
I will start first - I didn’t notice my diy NAS motherboard had Pci-E Gen 2.0
(old gen) before buying it. It’s not a great limitation (still 500MB/s) for the
two spinning disks I have on it, but it’d be if I will decide to switch to SSDs
- I cheaped out on the PSU. I bought another one without waiting for that crap
to burn down so I eventually spent more - I often break the software. Sometimes
I kill the OS or mess with some BTRFS pools Sometimes I just feel not adequate
for it. Does this kind of things happen to you too?

Forums should not exist anymore in favour of Lemmy communities - Lemmy.World
Sorry for this rant but I’m done signing up for each online forum. Almost all of
the big companies have clunky unmaintained forums that are a mess to navigate. I
wonder why they don’t just spin up a Lemmy instance, it’s basically free, so
people can just use their Lemmy account for all of them.
