If you’re interested in finding out, why don’t you buy one and try for yourself? They’re not that expensive (at least the non-electronic ones)… I hear some people like it. And I mean if you’re not fond of the current situation, you should switch up things and try something different anyways.

(Edit: I’d get a cheap one, see if I like it and the either throw it in the trash or have learned something and then decide if I want some $250 device with all the bells and whistles and buttplug.io integration. But YMMV on that.)

I think what you mean is compound words vs other words?

Wikipedia says there are lots of compound words in English.

Plaintiff is borrowed from Old French. Litigation from Latin…

I suppose it boils down to when and under what circumstances a term was needed to describe something. Sometimes there was a word from another language available. Or the whole subject came from a different culture. And sometimes they just described it with a compound of what it resembles. And how to make up terms probably also depends on what is en vogue at the time.

Agree. But that specific article seems pretty alright. Also talks about the relics and history records for example by Tacitus.

There also is a Wikipedia article which I think is not written that well. And a lot of education material by churches or religious organizations which I did not cite for obvious reasons.

(And the German Wikipedia article about sources for the historicity of Jesus seems very good. But it’s not exactly OP’s question and I don’t know if it helps: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Außerchristliche_antike_Quellen_zu_Jesus_von_Nazaret )

Tl;dr: No.

My opinion: It’s a nice story. And with stories the most important thing is what it teaches us or makes us feel. Not that it’s true. Maybe they took inspiration from several preaching hippies who lived back then and made one story out of that. Exaggerated everything and made stuff up. Probably all of it because the bible was’t even written close to his supposed lifetime. It’d be like you now writing a story about a dude who died in 1870. Without any previous records to get information from. [Edit: The first things have probably been written down like 40-50 years after his death.]

And I mean if Jesus existed, he would certainly disapprove of what people do (and did) in his name.

American values aren’t important to them. They want different things. A strong leader, be heard, simple truths and/or some people below them to hate and pick on.

It’s a hashtag. Pretty much invisible but I can still see it.

Hmmh. I guess Lemmy should display that kind of information more prominently. But there isn’t much progress UI wise… Guess you could just look it up in the modlog. Or do it like that 😆 Thanks for the report anyways.

I think they don’t take inspiration from Photoshop. Either it’s been a clone of a different product at some time or they developed it themselves. Hence the differences. I mean the whole UI doen’t really resemble similarity to Photoshop.

Yes. I have like 3 different apps but I regularly use Eternity. I think you’re right and a decent part if it is Eternity. Like half of the empty messages show up in other apps or the web interface. But not all of them. I don’t quite think it’s just deleted messages. Some others are definitely there and also don’t show up in Eternity… Maybe it’s a combination of factors. Honestly I didn’t quite pay attention when I was using which app. I’m still trying to figure it out. But this definitely seems to be part of it.

Day of the Tentacle

I think most people here have went through the 5 stages of grief. And at this point they don’t care anymore. At least not to the degree they used to. It’s been a year. Life goes on. Don’t waste your time on being negative and spamming someone who once let you down. Look forward and spend your time on something useful. At least that’s my opinion.

But yeah, it’s a question. I just think other people think it’s pointless and they don’t care. And some of them are going to downvote you for that even in No stupid questions. And lots of other people aren’t going to upvote something like this. Hence resulting in that ratio.

Hmmh, not sure. I think broken images show up with some character. But that post also has one comment that shows empty in one App and text plus a picture on a different App. I think I need some time and figure out what it does on the computer.

Fair enough. At least I’m not getting crazy…

that’s empty.

I’d pick the Raspberry Pi if you can do the install. Furthermore maybe your internet router can do it. I think it’s possible with some Fritzbox models or ones that run OpenWRT. Or you pay the price for one of those dedicated adapters. I don’t know if the drivers for those are more or less haste than using a Raspberry Pi.

Listen to the people who say it’s probably encryption. I’d agree with that. And you can try all sorts of programs and ways to fix corrupted files… It won’t help if it’s encryption. You’d need to find out the specifics, see if there is a script floating around or some tutorial for your specific phone model that tells you how to decrypt them.

Then get help. There is medication that can suppress feelings. The numbers I linked aren’t just for suicide prevention. Getting help for other mental conditions is a related thing. It’s basically the same doctors/therapists. Just don’t self-medicate, that won’t get you anywhere.

If you’re serious about what you say, ask a doctor. He or she can make you stop feeling. It’s probably antidepressants that do that. And they’re prescribed by doctors. And if it ain’t easy to find a doctor, call the helpline, they have some contacts for people like you…

Hehe. I don’t think English is that broken. I mean it’s definitely broken. But still one of the easier languages to learn. It’s my second language, so my perspective might be a bit different. But I also had French in school. And oh my, that’s a proper hassle to memorize all the articles, specifics and numerous exceptions to every rule there is… English was way easier (for me.)

That’s not true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines

It’s like dozens of pages of free numbers. Pick one that suits your needs. And they’re not all just for absolute emergencies… Or call a friend, a relative… They might know you and have an outside perspective on you and your situation.
