I would say that Trump is like that 14 year old edgy idealist rebel who thinks the world is better realized under their haphazard of a vision. The one who wants to get all of their unqualified and equally inexperienced friends in positions of power who all think they’re better than officially qualified individuals with the experience.
That is him in a nutshell and we’ve seem him practice exactly that.
Even in the back of their minds, the religious are unsure where they’re going. Because nobody came back from the dead to tell anyone what to expect.
Mankind has constructed the idea of Heaven, Hell, Rainbow Bridge, Valhalla, River Styx, Hades .etc as places we all think we’ll go when we die. But the truth of the matter is, is that we won’t know until we do die, though we can’t come back to tell anyone what’s there and what to expect.
It is all as superfluous as trying to tell someone there’s a being of omniscient and omnipotent design that controls the casualty of our actions.
No, for that to work, you needed to be the only convincing, smart and devious conman that had influence on otherwise people with simple brains in ancient civilization. Ones who were too scared to even know what a sun eclipse was.
I have accounts on various Reddit alternatives and have also had accounts on now-defunct sites. However, none have exhibited the same level of negativity as Lemmy.
It was predicted ahead of time that there would have been ex-Reddit users or current Reddit users who’s got to come over and spread their misery carried over from Reddit itself. Very insufferable people with too much time on their hands to be bothering to do that.
If only they’d realize that it’s far easier to handle them on Lemmy than it is Reddit. Which in turn, makes them look stupid. I mean, Lemmy isn’t like Spez who allows the registration system to be treated as a machine gun of alts so that trolls seemingly come back instantaneously to resume where they left off.
For example, I remember the time when American Idiot by Green Day came out in 2004. The song “Wake Me Up When September Ends” was everywhere on the radio. The song is about the death of the vocalist’s father dying when he was age 10....
Yeah because I’m angry at Windows for some of the dumbest shit it’s done for a while now.
And I’m still angry whenever I’m on Linux because it’s progress is taking too long for it to be embraced more comfortably when it comes to compatibility. I’d like for more things and development to work with even the most known Linux OSes. Just pick 5 of the best Linux OSes out there and develop for them. It worked for Ubuntu for awhile until that randomly got dropped by some manufacturers.
Until then I’m just angry to be on Linux because I know I can’t 100% run everything I want to on it as I did Windows.
But it’s more likely that if Gabe doesn’t have someone or something in mind that keeps Steam on track, there’s few companies that can buy it. Microsoft could acquire it. Sony could acquire it. Epic games could acquire it.
Companies that would have no care or clue in how to keep Steam as is.
I’m glad that it seems like he’s extended the longevity of his life by losing a lot of weight. Have you seen him now? Looks amazing for his age. I think if he continued where he was, he might’ve passed away at some point or be in a worse condition.
He needs as much time as possible to decide what he’s going to do after he’s gone.
Throughout the years there’s been many useful information shared on staying safe during protests as well as many infographics made. What are some safety tips you’ve learned and some infographics you’ve saved?...
I think the first stage of a protest is to thoroughly research and gather lots of information as to whether or not it is worth going through the efforts of protesting.
It’d be a waste of time, effort and consequence going out there to protest against something you only have a morsel level of understanding.
I wouldn’t say that your parents, my parents, their parents .etc failed us.
The ones who failed them and everyone around them, were the peers that ran the system that lied and convinced everyone that everything was going to be okay when simpler times were taken advantage of.
I’m 24 and dealing with high blood pressure. I’ve seen five doctors, had countless tests, and they all say the same thing: “Take these pills and try to reduce pressure in your life.” It’s as though my blood pressure and heart rate have minds of their own, fluctuating freely without any reason....
My life right now is on a countdown timer, a very slow one at that. It’s tied to the rotting decay of my teeth. The oral surgeries, dental implants and all of that I know will cost me thousands even with insurance. It’s something I elect not to face and deal with because in doing so, it’ll pit me in either a life of debt or I’ll be spending a life with no chance of having any kind of enjoyment with whatever gains I make because it’ll all be spent just dealing with one expense after another.
I know the severities of what happens if you choose not to deal with oral health. I also suspect that I am feeling some of the effects of it as well. Rather than feeling continual hopelessness about it, I just do what I can, brush my teeth knowing it’s pointless because they’re going to all go away by the time I’m 45 or 50.
“Sorry bruh! Your account needs to be 1 year old to post!”
“Sorry buckarino! Your account is just too damn young!”
“Sorry! But we like intelligent conversation in this subreddit” While the content of the subreddit consists of people asking braindead questions and low-hanging fruit content.
“Sorry! Please read all of the rules that subscribed members of our subreddit regularly break, but not YOU!”
Can they really fuck up any more than they’ve already fucked up?
I don’t know about you, but the only thing I can see that Reddit could do that’ll fuck them up is either taking porn away because their shareholders demand it or they fall out of favor with the stock market because Wall St realized how much of an idiot spez really is to them.
KBin did exist back then last year. The problem with KBin right now is the guy running it is having personal issues and the magazines there are getting swamped by bots and spam. And there’s nobody there to kick them out.
Facebook users know very well that Mark has spent the last 10 years, bastardizing Facebook in every way he can. It’s not a good place for security. He doesn’t give a shit about your privacy. He no longers rely on actual people to help step in and resolve on-site problems, rather rely on a stupid hub system and he’s high on his stupid metaverse shit.
Yet, billions are still there.
Reddit, same way. The worst part about Reddit and even Twitter users is the mental gymnastics they’re willing to go through, to justify and rationalize why they’re staying.

Why does the culture surrounding Lemmy seem to be inherently negative and hateful?
