- Comment on Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid? 11 months ago:
There’s an old proverb I like about this: a person is smart but people are dumb.
People en masse tend to be dumber than they are apart. I think you’re comparing yourself to the faceless masses. It’s much more humbling to try comparing yourself to someone you respect (but don’t do it as a “I’m not as good as them” thing, only do it as a “goals to maybe achieve one day” thing to avoid accidentally trashing your self esteem)
- Comment on Steamed Hams but it's Gen Alpha humor lyrics 11 months ago:
If this is alpha humor, it beats the almost totally nonsensical YouTube poops of Millenials for me. Just sensical enough to string along, nonsensical enough to be entertaining.
Whoever made this monstrosity did a great job lmao

What’s the difference?
Maybe it’s having been raised in the south, but I’m used to hearing both. Maybe it’s a regional difference?
Though if I go for til these days, I’m more likely to say until rather than just til lol
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 1 year ago:
As one who was raised Evangelical Christian for the majority of my childhood by a devout and Republican parent, I’m pretty sure it’s just a death cult.
They live their whole lives only preparing to die.
They forsake and forego a lot of random stuff in favor of rewards after death.
And if they think it’ll get them any bonus, they don’t care if they take everyone else with them, hence the Republican Evangelical politicians generally trying to supply the ingredients for the battle of Armageddon to happen.
Tldr; I think it’s greed typical of those who would fully knowledgeably choose to be a Republican combined with the beliefs of an Evangelical trying to cash in on rewards asap, in the way a Republican typically does.
- Comment on How is woke a religion? 1 year ago:
If “woke” hadn’t become a political buzzword, would Elon have said what that refrain used to be? As in, would he also have said that atheists just replaced god with the worship of science? Absolute stupidity and smooth brainery regardless
- Comment on Lemmings who downvote news posts because you disagree with the conclusions, why? 1 year ago:
Funilly enough, it seems if you put those specific meanings behind individual emoji, and also display the amount of those emoji accrued, it seems like that would fix the issue, except for more obvious cases of unintended use, like trolling and polling.
Aka, I think Facebook may have figured that out via the expanded reaction suite (rather than just having the like button)
But as Lemmy currently stands, I 100% agree with you

Per tradition, if we’re at war, Washington, if we’re at peace, illuminati.
If for some CIA induced reason it’s impossible to tell, fold both sides in until they touch and then you’ll have it.

Fractions are for inches. any red blooded American would know that a Boeing 747 is about 8 washing machines and a half dollar bill long.
- Comment on Plans 1 year ago:
I’ve found the closest thing to a panacea for this is a mixture of willingness to fail and self forgiveness for falling off the horse. Everyday is a new opportunity to get back on it. And if you’re not feeling it today, it’s generally ok to just wait until tomorrow (this works for me because I have to be very gentle to myself sometimes, idk if this part will work for everyone. You kind of have to [or at least, I have to] address all the other potential issues, like anxiety or depression, before the motivation to do stuff follows).
Idk why I’m posting this on a shitpost, but if it helps even one person, seems like it’s worth posting.
