If there's a post you want to see, comment it here!

Feedback is encouraged. I welcome other views and want to build a community ran by the people.

I have a huge to-do list of several ideas to post here. It would be easier for me to prioritize them if you requested something you need this week, or something you wish existed that would've helped you recently.

It would also help others know what posts to create, especially if they have specialized knowledge.

No, but I will by April. πŸ‘€ Thank you for the idea.

I'll reply to this post when I set it up. It's high priority on my to-do list.

Trump Defunds Colleges with Contradictory Requirements on DEI (www.yahoo.com)

On one hand, enforcing DEI and 'woke' activities will cause your uni to get defunded.

On the other hand, not enforcing DEI against anti-Semitism will cause your uni to get defunded.

Columbia University, an Ivy League that was fully compliant with dropping its DEI and 'woke' programs, still lost $400 million in funding due to failing to enforce DEI to address anti-Semitism on campus.

It's a catch-22: Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

How is your week going? in c/[email protected]

Maybe I'm missing something, but can you explain exactly what's wrong with this?

I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from.

I must be a reincarnation of this guy, cuz I'm literally working on a micro-book called, "Rationalized Malice: How Faulty Logic Justifies Harm."

The book won't be out for a while (I'm in uni and have some high-impact research projects coming up), but it'll be practical in that 80% of it will be what you can do, as an individual.

suggestion: more variation in help resources? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

These are great suggestions! Already one step ahead of you - most are already on my to-do list as I work on more posts (I'm about 3 posts in now and should finish 2 of them by next week).

I am from the U.S. and am unfortunately not as knowledgeable about specific resources from other countries. However, most resources should be generalizable to everyone who has access to the internet.

I definitely encourage you and others to post whatever resources you do know! A community is stronger with input from everyone. 😌 I'll continue working down my to-do list and posting what I know.

[RESOLVED] Community icon/banner not showing uploaded image? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 23 hours ago* (last edited 38 minutes ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Right now, it shows a generic error image.

Are there specific resolution requirements, or?

EDIT: It solved itself. I guess Lemmy lags a little when propagating new community icons/banners.

How to heal from trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, etc. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

he evidence overwhelmingly says the same things will help someone with bi-polar disorders.

Can you provide a citation for this?

Since most of these are specifically for bipolar disorder, I'm wondering if it would serve others better if it was its own, separate post.

My rationale is that I don't want people who are seeking resources for bipolar disorder to not be able to find it because it's nested inside a thread about PTSD, and I don't want someone who is seeking resources for PTSD to get confused by resources for bipolar disorder.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you so much for all of this! πŸ₯Ί I'm so glad others are sharing resources, too.

Already ahead of you! My to-do list has weaker research on SAM-e + vitamin A, orange essential oils, etc.

Thank you so much for commenting this. I'm excited to see this community grow and thrive.

Transitioning from Reddit (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Been transitioning from Reddit, and Lemmy is such a godsend.

No more subreddit hoarding and mod abuse (mostly). The decentralization makes it nearly impossible to exploit and abuse.

I finally get to create a community that isn't a bunch of subreddits controlled by the same mod network. Working hard to build it up from scratch (and unapologetically taking inspiration from the good posts in each subreddit).

Is there a convenient way to find communities related to the subreddits I'm subscribed to, without manually searching for them? Looking for some kind of smart pseudo-import/export feature.

How to rise out of poverty and achieve financial independence (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

This guide assumes you are starting at the absolute bottom. Skip the steps that aren't applicable to you.

1. Find resources while homeless:

Research: Unfortunately, no research has been done on any programs at scale. Some 'housing first' organizations have shown promise, but there's very few across the country.

2. Find funded training for certifications in well-paying fields. (Varies by location.)

2a. Visit https://www.careeronestop.org/FindTraining/find-training.aspx

2b. Under 'Find Local Training', put your zip code and distance from the training program, then search.

2c. Check the box for 'WIOA-certified training programs only'.

2d. Some common certifications/sectoral jobs that MIGHT be well-paying (Varies by location. A lot. Choose a certification that makes the most sense in your area.):

  • CompTIA A+
  • CompTIA Network+
  • CDL (Commercial Driver’s License)
  • Pest Control Technician
  • CNC Machining
  • Diesel Mechanic
  • Welding
  • Supervisory Leadership
  • Phlebotomy
  • Certified Health Care Access Associate
  • Patient Care Assistant
  • State Tested Nurse Assistant (STNA)
  • Medical Billing & Coding (CPC)
  • IT Sector (Security+, Microsoft Certs)
  • Environmental Remediation (HAZWOPER)
  • Financial Services (FINRA Licenses)

1. Explore different interests before focusing on one.

  • Correct: Trying chess, trying basketball, taking an open online computer science course, cooking something new, trying tennis, learn how to draw your first digital art, learn the basics of competitive Street Fighter, attempt your first speedrun of a Trauma Center game, etc.
  • Wrong: Deciding you want to be a chess grandmaster WITHOUT exploring anything else first.
  • Research: https://characterlab.org/tips-of-the-week/sample-then-specialize/

2. Choose your Ultimate Goal in Lifeβ„’.

  • Correct: After exploring several interests, you discover that you are persistently passionate about becoming a content creator.
  • Wrong: Graduating college (which is a great goal, but one that leads to your top-level goal).
  • Wrong: Getting 1 million Twitch subscribers (this might be an 'end goal', but your ultimate goal should be a journey, not a destination).
  • Research: https://youtu.be/NBgBy4vP_QE
  • More Research: https://characterlab.org/tips-of-the-week/step-by-step/

3. WOOP your life goal.

  • Video Guide: https://vimeo.com/262725813
  • Wish: What you want. (Your life goal.)
  • Outcome: Vivid details of the ideal outcome.
  • Obstacle: One (1) inner obstacle, something within your control, that is most likely to impede you from your goal. (e.g. Procrastination.)
  • Plan: If (Obstacle), then I will (Action). For example: If I feel like procrastinating, then I will shut off my phone and use the StayFocused browser extension to block out all irrelevant websites (YouTube, etc.) for the next hour.
  • Research: https://woopmylife.org/en/science

4. Use 'Expert Practice' to get good.

If you are having difficulty brainstorming or connecting the advice from this post to your life, AI chats like duck.ai can help flesh out ideas.

And that's pretty much it! This advice is very generic to apply to as many people as possible, but if you follow these, you'll succeed in life.

[email protected] - The community to help others and seek help (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hey! New Lemmy user here. Happy to migrate from Reddit.

I created [email protected] so that others can seek and offer help.

I'm still hashing out the details, but this can range from anything to advice to wishlists to loaning/borrowing to fundraisers to literally anything else.

However, I will be putting in measures to prevent scammers from exploiting the community. From what I've seen so far, there doesn't seem to be a auto-moderator, so I'll probably need moderators to remove posts that aren't compliant. I also don't see a tagging/flair feature, so I'll work on a post title format for future posts.
