Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Chinese people and China enjoyers, what movies/series/cartoons from China would you absolutely recommend?
0·7 months agoI’m a big fan of the Hong Kong New Wave in cinema. It’s also a handy entrance to wider Chinese films - if you like a director or actor or type of film, there are a lot more to find if you start digging.
Go and see your GP. It wasn’t a heart attack but it was a wake up call and I don’t think jumping to seeing a cardiologist will be that helpful, although a GP can refer you on if they think you need it.
I was in the foothills of heart health problems - high BP, cholesterol creeping up, etc. and the health staff were starting to express concern (suggesting I might need to go on statins). So I turned it around in two years and at my last health check my weight and bloods were all “perfect” according to the nurse. So it is doable.
However, from what you say, mental health issues may be holding you back and making important and sweeping changes to your lifestyle require effort and focus. So the GP may want to get this addressed while starting to monitor your health through regular checks. I found the checks motivating in themselves as the data can really prod you into action because you no longer can say you are probably unhealthy - it is there in stark numbers. I also suspect I was slightly gamifying it as I made beating the numbers a focus and figuring out what I needed to do to adjust each on (as lowering triglyceride levels requires different action to lowering LDL, bad cholesterol). I even made a spreadsheet.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•The best thing you can do for the fediverse is just be kindEnglish
0·7 months ago@Cris_Color@lemmy.world being nice helps establish the “tone”, but I’m not sure that wouldn’t change with another “API event” on Reddit that results in another, larger mass migration.
The way I see it - the early adopters set the tone of a place and new arrivals are more likely to adopt that approach. So it is important to be kind now, so people will be kind later.

0·7 months agoReport it - people jumping straight to insults are trying to shut discussion down which really isn’t acceptable.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Did you know? Lemmy instances with *key instances!English
0·7 months agoHere is a discussion on Tumblr equivalents.
Sorry, English is not my first language, bit I thought the post is somewhat clear?
English is my first language and it was clear to me.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy?English
0·7 months agoCan confirm. When we took over the running of feddit.uk migrating the images took forever as it was around 300GB.
Perhaps Friendica because it plays nicely with following groups (Threadiverse) and profiles (most of everything else).
You might want to spin up your own PieFed instance. There is someone using that service for a similar art project - they are grouping images into similar sets and displaying them like an image board. You can pin certain images and/or change the default sorting.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•There is a second wafrn instance now.English
0·7 months agoReddit is worse, it is utterly indifferent to us. We’re just the skulls getting crushed under the treads of Skynet’s tank.
I hope people keep maintaining international trade relations, or else polititians may exploit it to push nationalism.
Oh indeed, we’re part of the larger !buyeuropean@feddit.uk movement, unfortunately, post-Brexit it will cost us more.
And we support FOSS from anywhere.
*The exception is buying goods from your close proximity, which might be environmentally beneficial
Yeah, you do want to reduce the air miles and your carbon footprint.
Got to support those penguins.
I can do but I thought that was for giving established communities a bit of love.





It depends on the severity.
