I got fired 6 months ago and it’s been a crazy journey. I got super strong, biked over a thousand miles, traveled, and started an unsuccessful business. But also started some pretty bad habits and got depressed, and spent the majority of my savings. Now I have a part time job for minimum wage that is extremely dangerous and risky. It’s a trade off.

Eh you gotta do it once or twice

Yes. Housemate or roommate mean anyone who is sharing a roof with you that you mostly don’t bang

The Fifth Risk is a very good read for anyone who might be interested in a finer grained look into the lesser-known functions of our government 👍

Would definitely stuff her

Peanut butter and butter? PB and mayonnaise?!?

Gross

Cocaine and good wine and sex and honesty

Use the vibrator around the thighs and top of the pelvis. Tease it

Lemmy.world users generally hold ridiculous, unrealistic leftist positions and do not have any concept of people who might have any other more moderate left positions

Drugs

It’s all about the $$$$$$

There are definitely bots on here stoking anger

The tone of conversation on Lemmy has changed significantly lately.

Tax by weight

No excuses

No exceptions

This is great suff and I agree for the most part.

I have not been occupying right spaces online. Don’t have the time / energy. And I don’t really put in the effort to try to change anyone’s mind Online because people are change resistant online.

But

I do argue politely IRL for things that would help. Better infrastructure, trains, good jobs, love everyone, let people do what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt others, transparency in money and government, and make good things in America. Still unlikely to change minds but at least making friendships with people different from me.

I guess my overall thesis would be: online discourse is has proven unproductive. I’m tired of reading vitriol and “other side is so dumb wow.”

Disappointed to see the echoiness of the echo chamber on Lemmy

Thanks! Good response. I think it is always worth the effort to try and understand and talk to people and use words to convince them. I think everyone can be convinced, we just have to pull the right levers.

But if it’s the community’s opinion that that is not an option, and only violence is the answer. I have very low hopes for our country’s future.

I would be cautious about writing off an entire side’s viewpoint as overdramatic. When they do that to the left, does anyone change their mind?

This is all about division.

We need to work on understanding the root cause of issues and working towards fixing that.

I think economics is actually at the core of the problem.

A lot of people don’t have the basics right now, and they lash out at anything they can to try to fix it.

The Overton window has shifted dramatically in the last 10 years. He represents aversion to that

Yeah this is the worst! You know a few designers raised this exact problem during review, too, and were shut down

I want to, but I always get lost in the past and end up shouting a curse word and getting flustered 😂
