Stealing as a compulsion is a psychological issue it’s nothing to feel bad about as you have no control over it, just a) do the best you can to NOT do that and b) as a college student, you should have assistance available to you to help out. It might be worth talking to a counsellor about it or see of the school offers psych services.
Failing that, in the US, under Obamacare, you’re covered under your parents health insurance until you turn 26, it would be worth seeing what services are available there.
Looking at your modlog, I only see 3 actions:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=12206547
The first is something about tailscale, but it doesn’t show me what community it was removed from, so “Rule 3” isn’t a lot of help.
The second is a post asking about how to reach the mods, which a lot of communities would remove as a “Meta” post.
The third seems to be in regard to your response to “What do we do about Elon Musk?” and you responded “Luigi” which is a direct call for violence, that goes against lemmy.world TOS.
Seems extreme to jump STRAIGHT to a perma-ban for that one. I, personally, would have just removed the comment with a warning, which is weird that the mod didn’t even do that. If the comment was bad enough for a perma ban, it should have been removed too.
I’d reach out to the other mods in Ask Lemmy and see what they think. They may just be overwhelmed with violent content currently and are taking no prisoners.
Well, that’s great for you! Definitely not the norm though!
Continuing to work for the same company will only provide +2% to +4% per year regardless of knowledge gained. You aren’t paid for how much you know.
To get the large gains in income, you have to re-set your salary by changing jobs, at which point you get one big bump, then go back to +2% to +4% per year.

Collecting books for show was such a thing it was used as a literary device in the Great Gatsby.
See back then, books were mass produced via multiple stitched together folded booklets, much as they are now, but they didn’t have the cutting technology to trim the edges.
So readers would have their own “book knife” or “paper knife” and cut the folded pages apart to be able to read them (resulting in a “deckled edge” which is now simulated these days in some printings.)
So when Gatsby’s library is carefully inspected:
"A stout, middle-aged man, with enormous owl-eyed spectacles, was sitting somewhat drunk on the edge of a great table, staring with unsteady concentration at the shelves of books. As we entered he wheeled excitedly around and examined Jordan from head to foot.
“What do you think?” he demanded impetuously.
"About what?’
He waved his hand toward the book-shelves.
"About that. As a matter of fact you needn’t bother to ascertain. I ascertained. They’re real.
“The books?”
He nodded.
“Absolutely real - have pages and everything. I thought they’d be a nice durable cardboard. Matter of face, they’re absolutely real. Pages and - Here! Lemme show you.”
Taking our scepticism for granted, he rushed to the book-cases and returned with Volume One of the Stoddard Lectures.
“See!” he cried triumphantly. “It’s a bona-fide piece of printed matter. It fooled me. This fella’s a regular Belasco. It’s a triumph. What thoroughness! What realism! Knew when to stop, too - didn’t cut the pages. But what do you want? What do you expect?”
He snatched the book from me and replaced it hastily on its shelf, muttering that if one brick was removed the whole library was liable to collapse."
I used to teach A+ classes, oh, 25 years ago now. No idea what’s currently on the test.
But a couple of pointers:
-
Know the OSI model upside down, inside out, and backwards. You’ll likely never, ever need it other than to pass this test, but you will need it to pass the test.

"Legally, I have an NDA that prevents me from telling you what is or is not on the test, what I CAN tell you is:

- From a software perspective, the A+ is everything an entry level technician should know after 6 months on the job. Back when I passed it, there were still Windows 3.1 questions because there were still Windows 3.1 machines in use.
I would expect, nowadays, the oldest stuff you might see are Windows 7 questions? There are still way too damn many Win7 machines out there.

There were rumors of a human/chimp hybrid decades ago:

Despite the existence of Oliver, it still seems unproven:
Yeah, you can take it to the .ml admins, but speaking from my own interactions with my own admins, I really doubt they’ll interfere in your favor over a 5 day ban.
As a mod, we don’t really “hover”, we do have a queue of reported posts and reported comments and deal with them as they pop up.
Most likely some other .ml user saw the “tankie” comment, reported it, and the .ml mod did the .ml mod thing.
Looking at the modlog, it’s a temp ban from memes. I wouldn’t sweat it.
Looking at the modlog, they picked up a 5 day ban from memes@lemmy.ml for a comment that pretty much directly attacks .ml as being “tankie”.
