my mother used this proverb: Those who have tongue can reach Sardinia"

or

those who have tongue will travel to Sardinia

or

will end up in Sardinia

Sardinia is an island and although a big one, it has historically suffered with difficult connections, both by air and by sea

The proverb means that by talking with people you can reach far away places and difficult ones

I'm a free speech lover and I like this place to be a platform for our users to get in touch with as much as they want of the fediverse, as long as there is no **active** harassment of any of us.

The rest is up to the users and the clients, they have a lot of power in carving their own informational niche, and that one of the big reasons why AP exists in the first place.
I understand that people may not be familiar with the technology, which has never had this scale of usage, but if you want freedom and independence is it too much to ask that you just search "mastodon how to silence instance", or whatever you may need?

We as mod are also always here to answer doubts and help our users to get the best out of this place, but no, I personally would never take the arrogant decision of what is good or bad for others to be exposed to.

Please, @evaristus , if we want to talk about it in a serious way could you please open a topic on discourse? We encourage this kind of discussion and it would be easier for anyone to follow.

I'm having some second thoughts about plywood. And that's a sentence I never though I'd use

In theory, plywood is a fantastic building material, but I have no idea what the long-term effects are of the adhesives they use to bond the sheets together. Same goes for OSB (oriented strand board)

Come to think of it, I don't know what any of the chemicals used in routine construction today will do to my health in the years to come

Out of curiosity, I searched on youtube "theory of evolution". Out of the first 20 results, 4 were about trying to prove that evolution is a myth, and it never happened.

Then I tried in Italian, "Teoria dell'evoluzione". 9 results of the first 20 were about "debunking" the theory of evolution.

I'm not sure this is related to my personal feed, but I found it interesting. It's almost half of the results in Italian!

if after a long day helping a friend move house, they hand you a fiver, you could end up feeling undervalued and less likely to help again. A hug and kind words however might spark a warm glow and make you feel appreciated

She must have been born prior to the 1900s cause she is literally right ninging me up on a chalk board. This is like a step away from ancient Greek wax tablets.

Most of the recent news and opinions on social media seemed to be the epitome of dystopia which I never thought I would be living oneday. It sickens me.

"Is Google Making Us Stupid? What the Internet is doing to our brains" 

"Is Google Making Us Stupid?

What the Internet is doing to our brains"

An important read. Take your time, turn off distractions - and work thru it. Worth it! RG

"I can feel it, too. Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t going—so far as I can tell—but it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading. Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I’d spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That’s rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. I feel as if I’m always dragging my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle."
