Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Long walks. Daily.
Writing & reading. A lot.
Sketching.
Spending time with my spouse.
But, for me at least, those are not coping mechanism (doesn't matter what's going on, nothing is definitive even when it's all gloomy). They're things I do because they make me feel (and think) better.
One thing I don't do is reading about how doomed we are (or how our violence & cruelty will be the answer to already too much of their violence & cruelty), and be 'we' I mean all of us as individuals living in this time frame. Thx for your effort dear authors, but I have my own eyes and ears, and brain, and I don't need anyone to point it out to me. I don't need anyone to keep repeating me there is no hope either. Instead, I tend to focus on what good can come out of our situation, and how it could happen.
