What's the image source? I love this style

Emotional_Series7814 ,

I really never should have opened this thread, but hard agree. I'm doing the small bit I can to help out and I only have that energy because I (mostly) stopped clicking on news and aggressively curated my online experience to be free of politics or depressing news. It's easier to fight the good fight when you are not constantly being shown 28483838 bad things and 28483838 fights to fight. Even without algorithms that want to maximize engagement and that thus maximize outrage, human nature tends to focus on the bad and engage with outraging things (which is why A Bad Thing Happened constantly dominates Technology feeds instead of spiels about this or that tech advancement). If seeing all this paralyzes you into despair and/or doomscrolling like it paralyzes me, you have to actively try to work against that tendency or just try to avoid getting shown outrage in the first place.

Who's that Pokémon?

Crossposted from ...

A comic drawn on a dry-erase whiteboard using blue marker. The first panel mimics a Pokémon battle encounter, showing a male trainer as the player and e^x where a Pokémon would be, and there is a text box where one would be in an actual Pokémon game reading "A wild EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION appeared!" The next panel shows the exponential function being differentiated, now enclosed in parentheses with d/dx preceding it, and the text box says "You used DIFFERENTIATE!" The final panel shows e^x on its own again, with a small sweat drop emitting from the trainer, as the text box says "It's not very effective…"

I tried meal prepping out for longer than just tomorrow

I've made tomorrow's meals today, but I've never made Monday's meals Wednesday. I figure doing them all in one shot while I have the energy will make me less sapped of energy later on (or able to spend my remaining energy elsewhere), and look forward to seeing how it goes in the next few days when meals are no longer a cooking ...

Can validate. It's still me.

Positive train ride experience with regards to announcements

I have heard train conductors make (non-prerecorded, live) announcements before, but it never sounded as clear as what I'm hearing today! I guess the current conductor either has experience with making announcements over PA systems or talking into mics, or the PA system is just better in this train. Wonder which. Either way, ...

SEL = SocioEmotional Learning?

I'm happy to hear that, always good news

for those who immediately wondered the same thing I did after seeing the meme:

1 Kilometer = 0.6214 Mile
1 Mile = 1.6093 Kilometer

Keeping a diary / journaling in Obsidian

Anyone keep diaries in Obsidian? How do you format the filenames/directories and the notes themselves? My current formatting for the filenames is "/Daily Notes/DD-MMMM-YYYY". Don't have many plugins right now, but I'm open to suggestions. It's kind of frustrating that the notes in the diary are not ordered in a good way, but ...

I've known pretty people who were mean and pretty people who were nice; average-looking people who were mean and average-looking people who were nice; ugly people who were mean and ugly people who were nice. The world's more than 2000s high school movies with the fashionable feminine girl always being a villainous bitch intent on relational aggression (nevermind how the outcast tomboy protagonist is also attractive).

I wonder how many non-ironic clowns still work, and if audiences find joy in their performances.

I've been on both sides of that equation before!

If I find a particular piece of media upsetting I just quickly move on and do not look again.

But there is some media I engage with that I was disappointed by, but care about (whether because I enjoyed it by itself, or because it's the sequel to something else I liked). I'm invested, so I bother to complain instead of just walking away.

And it's a lot easier to complain, and to latch onto other fans' complaints, than to properly explain why I liked what I liked besides a quick "well this was nice". I just don't have enough knowledge to write 3 paragraphs on how they did it and why it works, only enough to say "I really liked X." In my opinion and experience, it takes more knowledge to write a lot about the success of something beyond "wow this succeeded!" than it does to write about the failure of something and your quick guess on what went wrong.

Emotional_Series7814 ,

Yeah, as someone who does not recognize this format it read as just a regular political meme (the stuff I enjoy seeing turn out to be not political on this sub, really not here for any actual political content even though I agree with this post). Hope this stays antimemes and not a "libs" "conservatives" political place where people try to dunk on each other with pictures; otherwise I might have to spin up my own version with hookers and blackjack

Looking into making my own NAS, where'd you get these?

Emotional_Series7814 ,

These are so adorable. Good job, brightened my day to see this on my feed.

I bought a digital train ticket instead of a physical one.

Couldn't figure out how to get a specific ticket I wanted digitally, so I bought a physical one feeling I had no other option. I figured out how to buy the ticket I wanted digitally and now I have a digital train ticket. I will no longer need to dig through my purse for a train ticket and hold it in my hand for awhile while ...

Storming out of class

A comic by https://safelyendangered.com/blogs/comics. The first panel shows an older man teaching a classroom of students saying "This is a very hard class." The second panel has him say "only one of you will pass". The third panel has a student saying "screw this" with other students and the teacher looking at him. The fourth and final panel has the student storming out with the teacher smiling behind him, and there is a label next to the door he storms out of: "Today: how to storm out of a seminar".

those faces feel very 1990s and surreal

Pleased to see everyone solving the math problem in the antimeme, I did too!

Elves, I'm pretty sure that's two elf characters from Lord of the Rings, Legolas and whoever the significant woman one was (I didn't really engage with LOTR so we're lucky I know Legolas). And as far as I know elves vs. dwarves is a common fantasy trope, but not dwarven misogyny or homophobia.

If you were making a joke, sorry! I could imagine myself asking that question unironically, but can also see how it could be a joke.

Is this still a meme community or just for inspirational pictures?

It's also possible that I just personally feel what is being posted isn't a meme but most disagree, especially given the amount of upvotes received. And of course, the boundary sometimes between a meme and inspirational picture can be blurry, and something probably difficult to hammer down in rules… ...

Emotional_Series7814 OP , (edited )

For what it is worth I do try to contribute with posts in communities I am in and I understand the challenge. I mod blood_donors@healthy.community icon Blood Donors . I mostly just post whenever I donate, which is bound to be very occasional because of the required donation intervals (2 weeks for platelets if I recall correctly, 8 weeks for regular whole blood) and what my own schedule can accommodate. I sometimes seek out scientific research on blood donation to post, but eventually I'm going to run out.

Thank you for the long reply! I suppose I should post my funny internet images here again to help out, even if I am admittedly not too pleased with the seemingly-new direction (though better inspirational pictures I don't vibe with than the depressing or political stuff that actually makes me feel bad).

Property/variable defined by function (dataview)

I am trying to put together a D&D character sheet in obsidian using the dataview plugin. It is going well but I have run into the fact some stats which I want to display (e.g. AC) are a function of Ability Modifiers (e.g. Con of +3) which themselves are a function of the character's Ability Scores (e.g. Con of 16). ...

Props to you for coming back and posting your solution.

Friendly advice: if you are not in the mood for discourse and debates and political discussion, don't check the comments if you know the regular version of the meme is often used to make political statements. I clicked on the comments for two antimemes whose normal version is often used for political commentary instead of just scrolling by and upvoting, not knowing what to expect. Found the expected sociopolitical commentary for if the regular version of the image was posted while extremely not in the mood for politics and just wanting a fun antimeme, and some of those comments made me angry, so I came here and typed this advice to use that anger productively (and also conveniently in a way that likely won't invite conflict from anyone based on my views).

Not sure if this is intended and allowed behavior for the community, and thus I just need to adjust my behavior to match my advice to get what I want out of it, or if this something the community maker did not want and it should be added to the rules and reported.

Emotional_Series7814 , (edited )

Oh no, I do not have a problem with antimemes that were originally political! My problem is more about the comments getting political, and yes, my usual approach is to just disengage.

Pinging @SmokenKeekaGuard about it too because their poll seems to operate under the assumption I had an issue with antimemes who were originally political instead of me having a problem with the comments turning political as if it were the normal version of the meme, as if this were PoliticalMemes or any Lemmy politics community and not AntiMemes.

Emotional_Series7814 , (edited )

I came from [email protected] which bans it, and I think that's fine instead of something that not everyone will care for—its point is memes that won't "absolutely destroy your mental health." I'm not so sure about everyone else, but I know for me politics everywhere in so many threads and comments = doomscrolling and destroyed mental health, regardless of if it is people who agree with me or disagree and I'm honestly unsure how so many others on the Threadiverse manage to embrace it. Politics is not the point of that community at all, and I'm inclined to find the rule appropriate instead of something that should not be present because it controls what topics may be discussed. It could also be viewed as a sub-rule of "stay on topic" for non-political communities.

I also personally see it as a huge minefield of conflict that is likely to derail into a big tangent that starts a slapfight and kills the mood if you see it browsing comments. I do engage in the political process in real life, perhaps more than most others I know, but I super do not come into the Threadiverse to stress myself out and fall into the anger/outrage loop with people's poor behavior towards each other on like 80% of the online political discussion I have had the misfortune to run across and views that anger me. I'm here to have fun. And just look at the long paragraph my current disagreement with you made me feel like typing out! I'd like to opt out of that kind of experience.

Your community is your own though, not going to force you or shame you for not conforming to one person's wishes! Just disagreeing on the idea that banning that as a topic is inappropriate in general, and further explaining my negative sentiment towards most online political discussion. I appreciate you making the community at all and running it.
