This is interesting. There are somewhat similar sentiments among anarchists in the US who think “burning it all down” is the only way to fix the system (rebuilding it from the ashes). In their fantasy, it’s worth it to them to just destroy any and all parts of the current system and spread fear and chaos. Not the same idea, but I can see some overlap in mentality.
This is damned impressive.
BGE soundtrack is so good.
For whatever it’s worth, I’ve had some very positive interactions on here, too. And I’ve seen questions answered when people needed help. And generally useful info types of posts. The comics and memes are often good (if you like those, those are not everyone’s cup of tea). Anyway, it’s not all jackasses all the time on Lemmy.
I’m also starting to think social media plus human nature = inherently bad combo. It’s not always bad, but it trends that way over time and at large scales.
Real identity social media is bad because creepy corporations track your every move and people post fake and highly curated profiles.
Anonymous social media is bad because too many people behave like unfiltered belligerent asholes.
There is indeed a LOT of bitchy pedantry on here. I’m not sure it’s worse than other platforms, because this is the only one I’ve been using for a while now. I block very aggressively and that seems to help.
Sorry you’re not having fun on Lemmy, I do get it. For some reason reddit keeps failing upwards and we’re not getting the influx of users I was hoping for. I’m still hanging in here but participating less and less.
We love our moral panics here in the US. Especially Satanic panics.
I like candidates with signs that don’t get stolen!
When the weather is nice like it is this year, we put a table and chairs out on our driveway and decorate it. We sit there and have a drink and pass out candy. It’s more fun than answering the door, and we end up chatting with neighbors and parents. Our next door neighbors did the same thing as us this year, and it was even more fun, as they were right next to us hanging out.
I encourage aggressive blocking. Without it, the assholes drive the decent people away over time.
I’d be fine without voting, too. I am glad they at least got rid of karma.
The density of nerve endings varies. Women tend to have more in their fingers than men. Also, skin can vary a lot. Some people have thick tough skin, some have thin delicate skin. This can also vary in the same person on different parts of their body.
The Facebook bots are probably trying to make every lesser site feel bad about itself by comparing them to the much cooler and popular sites.
In some places, spaghetti meat sauce is gravy. Badabing!
Suckers. People point and laugh at me for free.
Post doesn’t follow Rule 1. Please update the title of the post.
Pedro. Duh.
I checked my “content library” and I still have the option to download. Which is good, as I back everything up in Calibre. Maybe there are some regional factors here, or it may depend on which Kindle device(s) you own?
I feel like the NFL is maybe leaving money on the table here, and is too greedy and out of touch to even see it. I could be wrong, but I bet if they charged, say, $5 to watch any out-of-market game the customer wants, they would make a killing.
Instead, they charge like $400 or something for all of the out-of-market games. Most people aren’t going to pay that much. Especially if they only care about one team that’s out of their area.
Best brother.
I believe age and exercise are two important factors here. Older people tend to function okay on less sleep. Regular exercise helps with both regular sleep and sleep schedule adjustments. If you can, try to put in more exercise for a few days after the switch. Hopefully it helps.
