No. Yearly salary discussions are only common for highly paid professionals.

linux is fine for nerds. normal people are never going to use it.
- Comment on Ok, boomer 22 hours ago:
i am saying human beings are like that.
politicial belief has nothing to do with it.
- Comment on Ok, boomer 22 hours ago:
You can afford a home on a single income if your income is 3-4x of the value of the home, roughly.
- Comment on Just up the production quality and they'll love it, Trust me bro 👍 23 hours ago:
i relate to this comment so much.
i also see it in so many other ways. women get a huge pass in life from men because sex, and other women because in group solidarity. every mid thing they do is this huge achievement for some reason. i don’t understand.
- Comment on Ok, boomer 1 day ago:
in my experience it’s everyone. very few people care about facts or evidence. most lemmy posters do not.
- Comment on Ok, boomer 1 day ago:
Haidt wrote a book about this. Victimhood is the new virtue. Everyone in this ‘victim’ economy is socially competing about who has the biggest/most legitimate grievances.

it’s arguing in bad faith. as in you aren’t actually arguing or debating, they are just seeing to beat you down for not agreeing with them.
lemmy full of these types, despite their claims of being educated and data-driven or whatever. i had someone the other week tell me my citation of data form the USA Labor Bureau about jobs numbers was ‘lies’ because apparently statistics don’t count if Trump is in office… pointed out the data was from Biden to now and they just told me I was an idiot.

don’t let context and subtly of reality get in the way of your intergenerational rage narrative!
my parents were stupid ignorant fucks… but the sad fact is their life circumstances meant they were never going to be anything but that.
and plenty of people think stupid and ignorant merely because I dont agree with their extremist political ideology or their doomer mindset or chasing whatever trend is popular on social media that month.
- Comment on Ok, boomer 1 day ago:
the vote though. and they vote a lot more than the people who don’t vote…
- Comment on Ok, boomer 1 day ago:
it’s frown upon by every group.
nice way to blame ‘masculinity’ though.
- Comment on Ok, boomer 1 day ago:
being a stupid ignorant asshole has nothing to do with age or generations.
i know tons of 20/30 somethings who think just like boomers. who are in the same total denial of reality and living in their little bubble world.

It’s pretty wild how rapidly this place declines as it grows in popularity.
Just like reddit. Lazier and lazier users, producing the same lazy commentary and totally obsessed with self-pitying themselves and blaming everyone else for their woes. Shit’s wild.
I just don’t get why people find this crap so appealing or funny.

- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
And I totally disagree with that narrative.
Because in my experience I listened, but then was guilty of the crime of pre-rape. And then i stopped listening to feminists. Being male and doing anything male-coded was a crime to them.
then 10 years later… many of those very same feminists are now preaching 1950s subordination to their husband and God and many are of them anti-trans advocates. Every feminist I went to grad school with became everything she claimed to hate in her 20s.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
FWIW my entire life i’ve known people who do this shit IRL. MY college campus was rife with people like this.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
yep.
i will write out three paragraphs… get multiple replies about like three words I said that are taken totally out of context.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
ever IRL hobby/group i ever did went from a cool chill group to being full of rabid assholes once it got ‘popular’. as in… people heard it was ‘cool’ and wanted to join because they want to be ‘cool’. as soon as people are doing something for status/image and not because they actually enjoy/love it… that’s when the toxicity starts. because the cool people are the insecure shallow types who need to crap on anyone who is ‘uncool’.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
yeah i’ve noticed this. the people who harass me go to my comment history, start downvoting everything i say or replying to old comments and/or reporting them… just like people do on reddit.
one disagreement on one comment or issue becomes a personal vendetta
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
I have been threatened and harassed in person multiple times the past few years. but left and right wingers. by trans and anti-trans folks, etc.
angry people just want to beat up any one that is in front of them.
- Comment on PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC 2 weeks ago:
whenever i buy a new game i tell myself I’m investing in myself.

- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 2 weeks ago:
History shows us people only learn to do the right thing after things have gone horrible horrible wrong.
we had a worldwide depression and war that uttered in 80 years of peace. we will have another one before things can truly improve. the current generations are all far too removed from the consequences of their actions.
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 2 weeks ago:
I dress for the weather.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 2 weeks ago:
Our species broadly is far more concerned with narratives and stories than reality. This is how our brains work on a very fundamental level.
Yep. Thanks for mentioning this. It’s really the root of it. The existing social structure is reinforcing/escalating our worst psychological biases. The opposite of what many of us think it should be doing. AT least for me… going to school was all about deprogramming all the emotional bias bullshit that my parents and home-town idiots I grew up wtih believed. The internet also helped a lot with that.
But it seem around 10 years ago this all shifted. and now education and internet is all about reinforcing those biases.
I’m not so sure good policy is the way to do it… but I do know from political experience that good policy is something EVERYONE hates.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 2 weeks ago:
it’s not lead poisoning. it’s people going insane because they live in internet/social media bubbles that lead to constant escalation reinforcement.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 2 weeks ago:
people would rather die in a flood of their own bullshit live in an inconvenient reality.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 2 weeks ago:
Nah, plenty of younger folks think this way.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 2 weeks ago:
I have been paying attention for decades now and I’m not really surprised.
I went to an ivy league school… and lots and lots of my cohort were delusional morons who believed their own farts had magical powers.
