Yeah the true crime has been how awful cut and beige all their clothing options are now. But they have always chased which ever group they think is in power and spending cash and I guess it’s wannabe trad upper middle class now, instead of queer upper middle class.
To be frank,
Constructive criticism has not been well received by anyone lately as apparently everyone just sees it as flat criticism and with the rise of internet echo chambers for every group, criticism in any form immediately points you as an other to be ignored.
People of all walks only want to hear what is convenient and self confirming.
And also, people are not ubermensch and do not just have a working plan that perfectly replaces this one the same way this one is ineffective. It will take conversation and community to figure out what works. No one can plan or act alone.
Who is we? Lots of places do communal bath houses. Japan has an entire industry around it. Mass transit is also highly prevalent.
Yes there will always be some level of individual desire to do things or need in some cases but communal projects are useful and common I don’t get the dismissal of that for energy creation something we long ago figured out was better to be done at scale and distributed after.
This is neoliberalism and treating it like it’s the only way to exist. It’s a failure of consideration or imagination. Either way your take is not right for that.
Hell yeah. I do Thursdays and man people remember to come to me on Thursday.
My family has some cops. My great uncle brags about robbing a house party cause he knew the kids wouldn’t be able to stand up to him and his buddies without parents while drunk.
My grandfather brags about drunk driving in his squad car and all the brown people he put under and how he would feed them to the crocs if he was able.
Both wife abusers.
To much sociopathy among people and not enough social shame.
CPS are basically useless or power tripping with no in-between. They got called on my incubator 3 times with the first being for beating my adopted brother so hard with. 2x4 it broke his skull around his eye socket.
We were told we had a great mother and shouldn’t be such a hassle for her to deal with after being in the house for 5 minutes. The incubator said that she would make sure we died before any of us were taken away from her.
Adults are mostly people pretending to be or see what they want to feel good about themselves, and thinking they are justified in doing whatever they want because they have simply existed longer. Few even consider sonder, less their own chance of being the monster.
People claim they have no interesting stories and then will tell me tales of happy childhoods where they had parents support and love them and they went on road trips and had the joy of just being a child and I can’t help but think of that fantasy world they got to live for all those years as something beautiful and beyond what human experience for most of our history was even capable of.
People toss off the casual miracles cause they lack shine but having a parent that didn’t rape and abuse is quite an interesting story to me.
I’m sorry, be strong and outlive the fuckers so that we can confirm that they die.
There is not a worst, people can be so many shades of despicable. But if you want a story.
When I was in high school a good friend of mine and my girlfriend’s pretended to be gay and in the closet so that he could get my GF to pretend to be his GF to “make sure his parents wouldn’t know”. We both wanted to help him out so it was fine.
In fact he just wanted to be in a relationship with her and figured it was the fastest and easiest way. Even her pretending was not good enough for him and just a starting point.
He would go on to start a rumor about me that was so vile it got me suspended from school and detained by the police, while I was away he raped the girl he pretended to love and when she freaked out pushed her in front of a car.
Like all the monsters in the world, they were just a person with sick twisted ideas of what they were owed and no, there isn’t and wasn’t karma or retribution against him. The world folds up and quietly moves on desperate to look away from the things that are to harsh to stare at for long by those pretending the world to be something better in blind hope that people are inherently good.
Yeah I try not to block since it lets people still comment on your stuff unheeded and without response but it is far better for mental health to just block and not deal with it. They do not handle conversation well and a lot of the louder Lemmings view conversations as a winner takes all brawl for superiority through mob support of upvotes.
Just so you know FlyingSquid is also one of the largest posters on lemmy.world and you may see less if you stick to .world communities.
FlyingSquid will never be wrong and if you keep going they turn to emotional manipulation and abuse with threatening suicide and making horrible statements about their life in order to drag you to sympathize for them after they have been rude and unsympathetic to you.
I don’t think they are a bot but I think they are one of the worst people to discuss with on the platform for their own personal reasons.
The mods on Lemmy are not good. They help incite shouting matches at different communities for fun including ones that have the developers for Lemmy itself, let basic bait for profiling others exist because they proclaim to let the other side speak up if they wanted to after bashing them down.
They will turn around and unironically claim to be just janitors with no power while ignoring the very position of mod gives them a lead role in how discussions are held.
Lemmy is just 4chan for neo liberals and the mods act like it.
This is not a particularly helpful message for the time being since the election is past and won’t be for a while at best.
This is more a wish on what could have been and leaves little room for current discourse when this is a dead end topic.
Because we forgot optimization in a world that celebrates maximalists and constant upgrades to feed shopping addictions that make people feel more in control of their space in a world with less and less opportunities for self determination.
When I remember I was the cool kid for having a 4GB flash drive that could fit all of my call of duty game and homework and I look at the 560GB games now that aren’t even as fun to play I think we have made some mistakes along the way that instead of prioritizing the experience of life we prioritize the ease of it.
Mine was my SOs grandmother’s Pentium PC from like 2003 until something just stopped in it. Like can’t even tell what is wrong with it cause it’s just inconsistently down and then back up.
So now it’s a small PC I got from eBay that came with like a free monitor and keyboard and stuff for like $60
Thanks for now. Bye.
What you trying to be on skynets good side or something?
You can learn addition from reading an algebra textbook too. Doesn’t make it efficient or welcoming to most.
Corporate was meant to be solely attached to Linus not Gamer’s Nexus. I just find their coverage to be not approachable and not consumer friendly. They often over pedantic into the weeds and don’t even properly talk about the massive tables they casually throw up on the screen.
I’m sorry if my adjective was misattributed to GN
Oh man… Are we already in WW3?
I mean I guess it won’t be called that unless it really kicks off but this is feeling again like one of those horrible slow preludes that gets roped into the syllabus.
