Oh look, there’s a new store. Let’s see what they’re about. Oh damn, I can’t afford to pay that much for that.
- Comment on How will the Military be after this mess with Trump? 18 hours ago:
Do you think they didn’t know what they were signing up for?
- Comment on Who shops at small businesses? 22 hours ago:
I prefer to support small businesses, but anytime I visit any in my area, they generally offer similar or the exact same products that I can order online at a much higher markup.
I’m struggling enough right now, and every dollar counts. I’m rooting for the little guys, but I’m not willing to go broke to save them.
- Comment on Is it normal to be really sentimental/upset over a bowl I accidentally smashed? I had it since I was 17 (am 30 now) and my boyfriend was alive back then too. 1 day ago:
I totally understand. It’s hard to lose something that means more than it’s retail value.
I don’t think replacing it would help, even if it’s identical, it’s not really YOUR soup bowl. The search will just waste more time and energy obsessing over the soup bowl. Maybe keep a chunk of the broken bowl and put it away in a keepsake box. Next time you go digging for memories, it’ll still have a positive effect.
- Comment on Would it be weird of me to send friend requests to old friends I knew in school 15 years ago? 1 day ago:
Similar to something I’ve been thinking about for a New Year’s resolution. (Which is something I’ve never really done, so I don’t know why I picked New Year’s)
Reach out to one person from the past every day. Maybe a close friend that moved away, maybe just someone I worked with 15 years ago and got along with. Just check in, say hi, and throw in something that I miss or appreciated about them.
I’ve been feeling really down the last few months, and it would probably feel nice to spread some positivity.
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 2 days ago:
Yup. Screen peeking isn’t cheating, it’s part of the game.
Don’t like it, tape some pizza boxes together and hang it on your TV. That’s what we did.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
Yup. He’s in there.
- Comment on Do people who have bad relationship with their parents care about "insults" like "I fucked your mom last night"? Or do you just not care? 5 days ago:
I’m with everyone else, does ANYONE really care about those?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
You’re funny.
- Comment on What can Trump get away with and what can he not? Hell one president shot an enemy to him. Can he do that? 5 days ago:
Depends who you ask.
While most of us are asking how he can get away with these things, his followers are celebrating his victories.
Why are they celebrating? Because they have decided to join his “side” and every time Trump does anything, they consider it a victory for the team, even if it causes them additional hardship in their life.
To them, it’s worth a little suffering as long as the “other team” doesn’t get a win.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Wait. Are you the person who asks leading questions to get people to say “chav” just so you can scold them for using a “slur”?
- Comment on Is lemmy dying? 1 week ago:
Maybe you need to follow more communities.
- Comment on So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up? 1 week ago:
You could try bring an overactive listener. Ask a lot of questions “What does that mean?” “Can you give examples?” if you time them right, it’ll completely mess up his for when he’s monologuing.
Or, at the very least, you can have fun trying to see who can ask the stupidest question about Uncle Dave’s obsession.
- Comment on How did Russian Roulette come to be? I find it hard to believe someone came up with it one day saying see how lucky I am today? I include suicidal people in this too. 1 week ago:
It probably started with less voluntary players. As in two people betting on whether their prisoner lives.
Eventually some one decided it wasn’t hard enough and turned it on themselves
- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 1 week ago:
Super Metroid. I really haven’t liked any others that I’ve played.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Trampling on Constitutional rights is well beyond mildly.
- Comment on [META] What actually constitutes "mildly infuriating" content? 2 weeks ago:
I completely agree with your four examples.
- Comment on Annoying dark pattern where no means maybe later 2 weeks ago:
Your clicks say no, but your algorithm is telling me yes. 😘
- Comment on What do you do when you have a cold and can't take medicine? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s the one!
- Comment on What do you do when you have a cold and can't take medicine? 2 weeks ago:
That kind of sounds like it fucked you up. Glad to hear you’re doing better.
- Comment on What do you do when you have a cold and can't take medicine? 2 weeks ago:
That would make me feel better!
- Comment on What do you do when you have a cold and can't take medicine? 2 weeks ago:
I just saw a video the other day about some guy who got seriously addicted to that stuff.
He started out as an occasional user and even set a “never two days in a row” rule for himself, until he broke it. It fucked him up bad. Do be careful.
- Comment on Is it normal to feel intense fear when in the presense of any sort of yelling / loud arguments? 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say it’s unnormal.
It’s a bit more severe, but I don’t know anybody that doesn’t feel uncomfortable when people are arguing near them. Some definitely mind more than others.
- Comment on How do you respond to unwanted advice? 2 weeks ago:
I think everybody has pretty much nailed how to verbally respond, but I think it’s important to mention how to internally respond to it.
Any advice given should be honestly considered. It’s human nature to think our own idea is better than anyone else’s.
Sometimes the situation is unique and other people don’t know all the finer details like you do, and what worked for them just doesn’t apply to you.
Other times, they may know more you think they do. Don’t take it as gospel, but consider any warnings or possible solutions that didn’t cross your mind before.
More information and diverse perspectives create better solutions.
- Comment on In the US we have Breast Cancer Awarnes month and a bunch of others. All we do is throw money at a problem and hope it goes away How come the Gov don't take care of people from starving? 2 weeks ago:
I feel like a fool for getting pumped about Fetterman. He really sounded like a stand up guy before he ran for senator. But, considering the alternative was Dr. Oz, I don’t think I would have changed my vote even if I knew what I know now.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Shit sucks right now, more conversations about what’s fun can only help!
- Comment on Are physical mail generally not under surveillance? If everyone suddently ditched electronic communications and start writing letters, would governments be able to practically surveil everyone? 3 weeks ago:
It would work until it didn’t.
Just depends how long it takes them to realize it’s happening.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
escapism in the form of weed & late night gaming after the family has gone to sleep.
I second this! Whatchu been playing?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been there and back, and I am currently there again.
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 3 weeks ago:
Pwned rhymes with boned.
