This, too, shall pass.

My brother told me about it, said that there’s an old legend about a king who had it (but in Latin/Greek/whichever language) engraved onto a ring. During parties, he looked at it so he wouldn’t get carried away, during hard tomes he looked at it to stay strong in hope of a better future.

Github?

and the local stellar, and the galaxy, and the local galactic supercluster, and of lots of other places depending on the reference frame.

That’s why I keep my Arch Linux ISO up to date, according to my qbittorrent stats thats one of my most popular seeds so it helps the ratio out. Plus it’s really useful to have as a rescue system for when I nuke my machine 🙃

20:1 is crazy! Maybe I’m just interested in niche stuff, but I struggle to keep mine in the 1:1-2:1 range :(

For example, are you trying to convey a change in perspective or an active and external change. Your initial phrase “fix the devil” sounded active, making me think of enduring through slow, difficult work to achieve a big result. The second phrase, turning hell to heaven, to me sounded more like turning hell to heaven in your mind, i.e. if you spend enough time immersed in it, you will stop hating something and start liking it. This could be positive, e.g. building tolerance, perhaps to a new food, embracing opposing viewpoints, learning to not only put up with but appreciate a ‘devil’ you work/live with as their own person instead of just thinking of how they annoy you. It could also be negative, e.g. Stockholm Syndrome as thought of by another comment on this post (the one criticising the phrasing of “fix” with association to toxic relationships, albeit that was referring to the original phrase, not the hell to heaven one) or becoming indifferent / blind / nihlistic / cynical about the problems of your society and choosing to ignore them to instead live in a false, rose-tinted heaven.

from your comments and clarifications, and what little I know of Jung’s original phrase, I think you intended l to be inspiring / encouraging, so I imagine you’re trying to either convey some message along the lines of:

• the bad times will end given enough time
• you can accomplish great things if you endure suffering for long enough
• there’s joy to be found even in places you initially find only despair

Unlike the other comment, I don’t think you should be overly concerned with the exact words that you use, as most phrases like this are at least partly idiomatic, i.e. they’re not meant to be self-explanatory, you’re meant to tell people what they mean when you teach then the phrase. This also means you shouldn’t feel too bad about bad english, as lots of english phrases don’t make sense out of context.

I think your original phrase is really good, as well as the alternative that you made. I’m not writing this to try to pressure you to make it “better” because it’s already perfect as is, I just don’t fully understand it as is and would like to hear more about what it means to you :)

This is my first time hearing the phrase in sterquiliniis invenitur. I couldn’t find much about it besides it being attributed to Jung, its translation (it will be found in filth) and a Jordan Peterson talk. I didn’t care to watch the latter because although he does seem to engage in real academia sometimes I don’t find him reliable (go figure, I’m on Lemmy. I imagine there’s a small p-value for correlation between lemmings and not being a Peterson fan). Would love to hear more about what it means to you and how it inspired you, and more detail on what you wanted your phrase to convey.

Thanks for sharing the article! I don’t know whether it’s possible to edit the title, but if it is, consider changing each use of “e.g.” (exempli gratia) to “i.e.” (id est) or “read:” (expression meaning the message that you believe should be read from between the lines) as I believe these changes might better communicate your intent. Thanks for adding the clarifying commentary to the headline though, it’s certainly more eye-catching and to the point than the publishers un-annotated version!

(This whole comment is assuming that these are your additions and not simply an earlier version of the headline. The version I saw through the link didn’t have them so I assumed they’re yours but they could’ve been removed by the publisher for the same reasons I suggested editing your title - if possible and you agree with my suggestions)

Actually, 50% of people are less intelligent than the median. 99% of people could be smarter than average with just 1 extra stupid dumbfuck. In today’s day and age, there are a few prominent contenders for that position.

Thanks, sorry for being an arse. Need to be more careful about what headspace I’m in before writing anything on the internet in the future.

I’m a zoomer. I don’t fully get it. It’s funny! You ever read something and do a double take bc you thought you misread it but no, this very official print document/book etc left in a massive grammar mistake, and you laugh to yourself? A lot of zoomer memes are just silly. It’s like abstract art, you’re meant to enjoy the things that break the joke as well as those that make it work. Although, to be honest, another part of why I often don’t get these types of jokes is because they’re communal. They’re very isolated from other online cultures but often depend a little bit on reference to other jokes within the subculture.

Oh no! Another issue! I’m a jellyfish and can only respond to a limited number of stimuli at a time because I have not centralised nervous system capable of organising my critiques into diverse and disparate arguments! I can only talk about vanishingly simple problems that are one-dimensional enough for me to tunnel vision on repeating the same talking points, preferably no longer than a dozen syllables total to accomodate not having a long-term memory centre due to my aforementioned lack of a brain 🪼🥺

I am very tired and have gone absolutely overboard on this comment, to the person I’m responding to pls don’t take this personally, more rational, less sleepy me doesn’t want to be a troll. But SERIOUSLY? You’re argument isn’t even “this isn’t a problem”, it’s “I can’t see the value in doing a full deconstruction of this novel ethical scenario and just want to be a sheep saying it’s bad for the reason my favourite shepherd says so, not because of healthy discussion of ALL the pros and cons.” Reminds me of those cringe posts from a couple months ago where people were saying “the epstein files are a distraction! don’t forget about my favourite political issue {insert valid issue}”. I’m going to be a hypocrite for a second bc this long arse comment is 1,000,000x worse than yours, but consider why you’re commenting before you hit post next time.

thankfully, I can still call it gif bc the creator of .gif says jif. I shiver at the thought of jif…

From JPEG.org, jpeg stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. Ph = F, ergo JPEG = JFEG. I irrationally dislike jpeg, so I will now try to call it jfeg as some light fun. I think more people shoulda normalise calling common things silly alternate pronunciations that are still clearly recognisable as the original word, just to add the whimsy of getting to chuckle silently to yourself thinking “that’s not how that’s said!”

ye, my bad, I’ll try to edit my comment to fix it

Honestly I’m 50/50 on whether this deserves downvotes bc on the one hand, wtf, who asked? On the other, it’s c/memes, and this is a MEME

Are you perhaps thinking of fedi.tips and its sister websites? The author posts lots of guides for the fediverse.

This was a really interesting read for me as someone who’s done immunology at uni, but might be harder to understand for others. However it’s still communicated really clearly so I would recommend anyone who’s interested to read it as I’m sure that the authors have done a good enough job to prevent education being a barrier to entry.

I’ll disclaim the rest of this comment by saying I gave the article a casual read and am putting minimal effort into this summary so am at risk of mischaracterising the article. It gave a more in depth explanation to why the Astra Zeneca COVID19 vaccine was dropped in a lot of places. Previously I just had a shallow understanding of an increased risk of dangerous blood clots, but the article did a great job of explaining more in depth what caused those blood clots (the development of unexpected autoimmune platelet antibodies). It also talked about the subsequent investigations and studies into what caused these reactions. One of the reasons it was such a rare side effect, 1 in 200,000 iirc from the article, is because it relied on both a rare side effect of the type of virus that they engineered to carry the vaccine into your body and a rare mutation in patients’ B Lymphocytes (an important white blood cell from your adaptive immune system that produces protective antibodies). It is standard in epidemiology to measure incidence, risk etc per 100,000 people, so the fact that this is only 1 in every 200,000 shows how rare this is, but because so many people were getting vaccinated against COVID the medical community still decided the risk was too great.

Sorry for any errors, hope my comment was helpful/interesting!

It gave me a smile :)
