oh cool it’s a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskelion

you layered yourself in blankets the other person is trying to help you make choices about your fabric choices because they affect both your perceived and your actual body temperature and help equalize your comfort between morning and night

they suggested a solution which ACTUALLY FITS YOUR WORLD VIEW of using less electricity or fossil fuels for comfort purposes and you berate them for it.

also, the idea that using energy for climate control is evil is an odd take IMO. not everybody lives in a temperate climate! people would literally die if you just deleted every HVAC system on the planet. and as much as I think it’s silly that Phoenix, AZ exists, the concept of forcibly displacing people from their current home is often frowned upon.

i thought the other guy saying you’d be fun at parties was going a bit far at first, but now I have to agree. There’s no need to be this argumentative or unreasonable and contrarian. unless you’re a misanthrope in which case carry on i suppose?

local Internet user complains about something and guilt trips others for wanting to be comfy when they offer good advice

Ideally there shouldn’t be a need for any citizen to own an umbrella.

NO

Yeah, guess I’m just worried about missing out on cool new communities popping up. Almost every post in all is from a different community.

I had a list of 90 active cat picture subreddits. Wish we had even a fraction of that here.

In my experience, it’s not new. I noticed things were far more hostile than my reddit experience from the moment i got on Lemmy. Maybe it’s because I unsubscribed from all the toxic places on Reddit (i promise they exist) but I browse /all here since it’s too quiet otherwise.

I can’t count the number of times I start talking about executive dysfunction and someone immediately chirps in with “make a list, chunk it down, say you’re going to do this for 20 minutes and then take a break.” I eventually started asking in response, "Do you suggest to your depression patients simply not being sad? Do you tell your anxiety patients not to worry about stuff? Because that’s what I’m hearing, and it tells me you don’t

I find the practice of making daily to-do lists still helps, not because I’ll be able to necessarily do the thing for 20 minutes on the first try, but after those 20 minutes i might look down at my little note and be able to remember what it was I was supposed to be doing… and then I can have another attempt at maybe doing it in the next 20 minutes.
