Can someone explain the boundaries around 'people pleasing'?

So, I had an incredibly fucked-up childhood in a toxic abusive environment and never really learned how to people....

So... Can you pet a turtle throught its shell?

YouTube just told me again about how turtles have nerve ends on their shell and how they have a decent amount of sensibility through it. Also, I’ve seen videos of turtles being social and helping one another and, finally, while this is apparently a bit rare, I did know people who owned iguanas who had some small attachment to...

What Internet Portals do you recommend?

An Internet Portal is an information hub connecting you a much wider portion of the internet....

Do some people think rapping is a permutation of raping, subtly adding to the edge factor of this music genre and making it less likely older people will take to it than younger people who don't know

This is not a joke question. I am being 100% sincere when I suggest the similarity between the words might be seen as intentional by some very conservative minds.

Does a cloned drive have the same drive letter as the original?

I have a 250GB SSD boot drive and a 1TB SSD, both of which are NVME. I’m buying another 2TB NVME and I don’t know how clone drives so I’m planning to ask the store to clone the contents of the 1TB drive to the 2TB drive, then the 250GB drive to the 1TB SSD and use it as the new boot drive. I’ll use the 250GB SSD as an...

Has anyone ever used Stickr or a company that pays you to put ads on your car?

These fools email me every other day wanting me to sign up. I literally have no idea why but they have a very aggressive email campaigns apparently. I am curious if anyone has ever done it and how much do they pay?

Is TikTok really the only place where the latest trends start?

I’ve noticed that any trend or fad that I find out about months later originates on TikTok. I have no interest in using the app for a variety of reasons, but if it’s something that might actually improve how I live then I might get FOMO.

Personal community?

When I was at The Bad Place I had a sub just for me to post on… anyone could read and comment, but only I could make a post. I used it kind of like a notebook, nothing personal like a diary. A fix I made for Gratuitous Space Battles crashing, a can opener I really liked, a commentary on when Reddit hired a pedophile and tried...

If you represent yourself in court, can you call yourself as a witness?

I’m confused as to how this would work; my understanding is that the Q&A format is fairly strictly enforced, and witnesses can’t just spout except as a response to a direct question - would you have to pull a zootopia?...

Non-fiction books that are like the Bible to you? Books that you've checked to remember some facts a few times as opposed to reading them for pleasure.

DAE Feel the Urge to Connect with an Old Friend Again but at the Same Time Feel Afraid/Relunctant? What do you do in these cases?...

New here and have a question about communities (lemmy.world)

Forgive me if this is truly a stupid question but I cannot find the answer and I have been afraid to ask....

Why is my browser trying to pull content from several other Lemmy instances?

I run a pretty locked down Firefox browser and I noticed when browsing lemmy.world that the browser wants to pull stuff from a long list of other instances, which fails because they aren’t trusted. Is this normal? I thought an instance would collect the things you are subscribed to and store them locally so that you didn’t...

What's the difference between Lemmy and Mastodon?

Both are federated right? Getting a bit confused - are they interchangeable? Can I view lemmy posts/communities in Mastodon? Similar to how I can view lemmy.ml content with a lemmy.world account?

How can we fund Lemmy instances?

TLDR - Why don’t Lemmy instances use methods like affiliate links to increase their funding?...

Doesn't the minimum requirement for the first point seem a bit too lax? It still results in a largely closed off instance that is listed alongside the others. (vlemmy.net)

Can I use two separate accounts on two instances on the same browser?

Is it okay to set up two accounts for two instances on the same web browser? When I go to visit the first instance, i can see that account is logged in for that instance. So, that works. Then I direct myself to the another instance’s community/post, I can see the 2nd account is logged in for that instance. Would it make sense...

I am not promoting death or killing but are there countries where they are freely allowed to kill nazi's? Kind of like in some parts of Africa are allowed to kill poachers?

For some reason I feel I am going to be banned from this site with this question.
