Some people have experiences which have left them embittered towards a younger, more hopeful generation. Despite 100's of years of exploitation, absolute failure, and hundreds of millions of people starving to death, getting killed for things such as not wanting to work weekends, and sent to work to death for having the absolute cajones to do what they need to do to provide for their loved ones, they STILL insist that capitalism is the only way forward because it's the only thing they've ever known.
The average human may not stand out amid 8 billion other people, but each and every person is unique and therefore special in their own way.
Everyone wants to work, to do something, but no one wants to have a job because your worth as a human shouldn't be tied to how much money you can earn for someone else. (And, inb4 "art is not a job", that is so fucking disingenuous; if you think that art isn't essential, then STOP listening to music, STOP watching television and movies, STOP reading books and newspapers, and then get back to me.) People naturally provide for those they care for and, news flash, people care about other people and their identities.
I know you're probably just trolling because you hate your life under capitalism and need to feel like you're a part of something, but like join the club bro.
For me, this is the injection of anesthesia at my latest consultation at the dentist, it was so painful that i screamed to him. Anesthesia is rarely a time of pleasure, but damn, it has never been so painful.
I have a chronic illness that can cause a lot of pain. Specifically, I have had to go to the ER several times because I legitimately thought my appendix was about to burst. (It wasn't, but the doctors still told me it was good I had come in.)
I thought that was the worst pain(s) I had ever experienced. Then I had a kidney stone. My god. Gonna go hydrate now.
I used to check there every day but it's been two weeks of not. It's great! I'm checking out here and Lemmy (I like kbin's layout and vibes a lot, but Lemmy has beta apps lol) I feel like I've had more time for life.
As per this post, it seems Lemmy World is having federation issues. I've had some of my posts and comments get suspiciously low response, so I've looked into it and it turns out that many of them aren't showing on other instances....
Speaking as a smoker: it's a great idea until someone manages to start a fire (or deliberately sets one.) Also smoky interiors get uncleanably grimy FAST.
According to Second Dinner’s blog, changes are soon coming to Snap’s card acquisition system. Their blog implies that with the next season, they are going to be introducing “Spotlight Caches”, special chests which replace one in every 10 Collector’s Reserves....
today was Niles and Chibi’s second tank day! I actually waited until the evening, but I got a bit impatient waiting for Niles to come out of the house; I handled him a little roughly and while I didn’t hurt him he was foaming up quite a bit. Putting him in the temporary tank helped a little, but he was still foaming so I...

I’m in the process of abandoning my Reddit account. I abandoned my Twitter a little while before the Muskening and once it became finalized I really didn’t want to go back, but I kind of regret not saving more memes/screenshots so I’m making sure to actually archive things this time.
I don’t want to go back. The fediverse has everything and more; I would like to think that we can keep up this wonderful sense of community here. Meanwhile the toxicity on Reddit has gotten even worse.
It’s like having the opportunity to have an amicable separation from a toxic ex.
I have read various interviews and such where they both have said things to the effect of, they each remember having written certain parts, and that there are parts which neither remember writing.
For me it would be Princess Mononoke, which is also one of my favorite films, period. I really appreciate the maturity and nuance it brings to it's environmental themes, which have been done in many other films, but not as well.
The difference isn’t just that one is Some Guy and one is Some Guy Who Went To Seminary, the difference is that confessions are supposed to be kept confidential (between the person, their priest, and arguably God), not “confidential” (between the person and the priest, who then rats them out to the boss.)
So hopefully I'm doing this right! :) (I'm still new to some of this so haven't figured out things yet! I did ask this via Mastodon also, but wanted to add more detail to my answer!)...
I always want to say like, Dark Souls in general but then I remember. I remember
Honestly tho I’m still trying to chase the high of my first playthrough of Undertale (yeah yeah.) I played it right after it came out and happened to be going through a lot. I definitely played it a few times after that and it’s always great but I feel like the first was just magical.
I haven't been on here as much as normal as I've had a busy week(for me). How is everyone? Anything cool happen?Anything to get off your chest? Or Just shoot the breeze
My week was actually not bad! I adopted a couple of snails from my garden and started a new sourdough starter. I was a bit stressed about those things going well but the snail terrarium turned out great and my starter is bubbling along happily. Work was a bit tiring but at least not awful. Hope y’all are doing well!

Okay, so, I am not thrilled about D&D writing/producing but Rian Johnson is somewhat exciting. Also I really really enjoyed the books. Especially during the last one, I would be a million light-years away daydreaming about them.
Side note: if anyone is interested in this show but is hesitant about the Netflix adaptation, Tencent has a really faithful, really engaging adaptation. It’s available on their streaming app, as well as Amazon Prime and on YouTube (where you can watch all 30 episodes for free.)
My pet snail Niles let me hold him for the first time last night! Previously he would sniff my hand and turn away, or try and get off my hand asap if I put him there. But last night he not only came to my hand, but spent at least ten minutes there before getting tired :) #snail#petsnail
Why is there such a large amount of communist and transgender related posts on the Fediverse compared to other platforms?
I am not criticizing them, I’m just out of the loop.
The worst physical pain you've ever experienced ?
For me, this is the injection of anesthesia at my latest consultation at the dentist, it was so painful that i screamed to him. Anesthesia is rarely a time of pleasure, but damn, it has never been so painful.

Wouldn't it be nice if instead of just bars with alcohol, there were establishments for people to consume cannabis while eating, playing board games, and socializing?
If anything, cannabis seems like a much better (and more profitable) drug around which to build a leisurely establishment.
