  • I think the current consensus is that your mind is processing conflicts in your life, but in a symbolic way. The emotions match the conflict, but the concrete factors can be wild. For example, a dream about being in an airplane that’s in a nosedive could be about recognizing that you have no control over your current life being destroyed. Perhaps some tragedy struck your life and you feel powerless over it. The cool thing about dreams is that once you recognize it’s a dream, you can test solutions to the experience to see what their potential outcomes may be. In the example, the person may recognize that there is nothing they could do, so they decide to peacefully enjoy the last minutes they have. This was actually my recurring dream. When I tried riding it out peacefully, the plane came to a safe crash landing over water, and I was able to gather my most important belongings before the plane sank (it was my dog). We swam to shore, waved at the plane crash goodbye, and walked into the city to start a new life.

    Your public shitting and masturbation dreams might be a conflict between what you see as a normal and natural human experience and believing that they are not socially accepted. I think it would be neat to try out different solutions to that drive in your dreams to see how your mind plays them out. You might be able to resolve some ongoing conflict that’s been affecting your life.

    If you’re interested in learning more about dream analysis, look into Irvin D. Yalom. He’s known in the fields of psychology and psychiatry for his work on dream analysis. He even has some books where he shares stories about working with clients, interpreting their dreams, and the impact it had on them. Beware tho: the dude was obsessed with death. Anyway, super interesting stuff if you’re into that!



  • I like Lemmy especially because it has not gone mainstream. I was already disliking Reddit around 2016/7 and tried to find alternatives, but nothing was good enough for me. Around 2018/9, the porn subs got pretty popular, then WallStreetBets. That brought on a massive amount of users, and the Reddit I joined in 2011 was definitely gone.

    It used to be interesting, unique, and respectful.It became repetitive, predictably standard, and rude. Many subs function as low-key advertising or propaganda without users awareness. It was a hive mind. I was wanting to leave, and luckily the API fiasco happened so that I was able to find a new place.

    I like it small like it is now. Users feel more familiar. Also, I love the idea of instances. If one instance has a shitty community on a topic you like, then find a community on a different instance. There’s none of that BS where mods control an entire topic. Maybe there are a lot of topics that aren’t popular here, so that sucks. Still, it’s no worse than reddit with 1+ million people all saying the same crap I don’t vibe with on a topic.





  • I agree. His 34 felonies are nothing compared to the damage he caused as President when COVID hit, leading to the inflation we are feeling today. Economists were warning us before COVID. In his first 2 years, Trump boosted the economy by using all of the economic tools that were typically reserved for emergencies when things were fine so that he could appear effective. Then, the tragedy that economists were worried about happened, and the only solution we had was to pump money (money printer go brrrrr) into the economy while Trump made the pandemic worse. So yeah, 34 felonies are negligible compared to the damage he caused with his short-sighted desperate policies to elicit admiration.
