it’s 100% happening, and we probably will never be able to tell due to the tech that powers the fediverse, unfortunately. we just have to accept this as our new reality and be careful whenever we post online from here on out. not a fan
as a 5’7 person, I can’t control my height. Therefore, it isn’t something that I should feel bad about. it’s the same way I feel about the color of my skin or any other physical or mental things I have going on that are 100% out of my control. it’s a difficult way to address my shortcomings (pun intended), but once you start just accepting these are things that cant be control, you start feeling better about yourself. I’ve cut out a lot of people in my life that made me feel bad about uncontrollable things, and it’s made me a much better person. I’m still on that journey to improve every day, too; it’ll never stop
I think the trap many people fall into is getting caught up and comparing themselves to other people. I can’t imagine if I woke up every day and compared myself to some of the wealthiest people in the world… I’d get depressed so fast!
as for the term short king, that’s absolutely hilarious to me, I approve of its use lol.
I think that part of it is how, to me at least, the term “fat” is so generic and hard to nail down to a discrete definition, implying that the word really doesn’t have a clear connection to reality.
well, there’s a clear definition as to what is considered to be overweight, and if someone fits that category, it’s up to them to decide how they take it. it’s a lifestyle choice for that person, in my opinion, and I know plenty of people that are happy with their larger size and others that would like to bring their weight down. but comparison will always make someone feel bad about themselves if they dont take the comparison as constructive criticism.
I feel like I had the same feelings surrounding work after graduating college. I got out of it by thinking, “What would a confident person do in this situation?”
eventually, my confidence rose a lot and I stopped thinking like this because I became a person with a lot of confidence.
also, don’t go so hard on yourself. if youre doing a good job and your superiors are letting you know the work you are doing is great, there is no need to stress. is there something in particular about your job that makes you feel like you’re not putting in enough effort?
if reddit has a specific use for you that you’re unable to find anywhere else, you should utilize reddit and not feel bad about it.
maybe one day, lemmy will be a proper alternative for people in your position, but there’s no use trying to stay away from reddit if you’re unable to do your job effectively without it. good luck.
i would say no, as there can be programming you can begin that doesn’t involve math. what I would recommend is to begin your own project by looking to see what you can automate in your life.
when I was in middle school, I told a teacher I wanted to program when I got older, and she scared me because she said that involves a lot of math. at the time, I hated math, so I avoided programming completely. it wasn’t until I was 24 that I gave it a shot and was so upset at how misinformed I was. I wish I could turn back time, but oh well.
is there something you do at your current job that you think can be automated?
now that gaming is getting better on Linux thanks to proton, I am unbothered
I am currently binging all Texas beeworks videos. fantastic use of my time imo
these people are the same group of people that won’t leave twitter. some people just live to be miserable and complain about things one hundred percent in their control.
it’s insane and i can’t wrap my brain around it.
let me start on episode 6 and get back to you.
think of all of this like email, you get data from other providers and interact with people and posts using an “email address”. im oversimplifying it, but that’s how i started to wrap my head around all of this
I wonder if there’s a community for sharing tips for these things yet
