The digestion thing is always interesting to me. I’ve been doing recreational drugs with the same people for close to 20 years now. Frequency down to about once a year at this point, but from when we were kids to now when we have our own, I’ve always been the one who comes up fast off anything we ingest, and my other buddy has taken anywhere from 30 to 90 (and sometimes more) minutes longer than me. He’s tall, but lanky. We’re built roughly the same. I guess that whenever the uptake starts to happen is just earlier a long in my process of digestion. We’ve got it down to a science now though, and I’m always last to dive in for an evening of letting the minds go.

Yep. Lemmy and Reddit are absolutely terrible for trying to have a positive outlook. If you want to be mad, come here. I’m sure other doomscrollers are the same, I just don’t have any.

What doesn’t kill you leaves a scar that lasts forever, physical or emotional.

Yeah, those nights are so few and far between anymore. And I always just tell people, how is this night different than the hundreds of thousands of other nights between 2008 and 2020?

And when I order laptops from Amazon, they generally send them UPS and make me sign for them. Pretty much anything expensive I’ve had to sign for. Chargeback should be ezpz for OP, though they may want to file a police report (can’t recall the first thread, if they did or not).

Nothing against OP, but there’s a lot of people who are completely unaware of their surroundings. Perhaps OP is young, not a homeowner, whatever. The older I get, the more I certainly become aware of these things. The question I asked myself was why come here and not a search engine? But it’s not important, and I think OP got some valid answers here, and hopefully they learned about their community.
As others have said, it’s not across the board. I’m sure there are places in the US where it’s hard to recycle this kind of stuff. Just like I’m sure there are places in Europe where people bury these things in holes in the ground. It’s just the whole “Hurr durr America stupid” thing is old af, and so when I read these jabs I like to talk about how I live in good America, where we have education and social safety nets and electronic recycling.
And the majority of comments I make in this fashion apply fairly broadly to the entirety of the Northeast Corridor, DC to Boston, which is kind of where America started. Just wish there were more northeast corridors, because I do understand and appreciate that some of the criticisms I read are true of portions of the country, and it’s unfortunate.

We have that in the US too, but condescend away.
- Comment on Europeans have a meter fetish 1 week ago:
They should just put these signs in time. Just put “5 seconds ahead” if you’re doing 35mph. I feel like I can rationalize 5 seconds better than I can rationalize 300 feet.
- Comment on Life after 30 be like 1 week ago:
It just loses its luster after a point. I’ve been to hundreds of shows, went out pretty much every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for like 15 years. Now, someone will be like, hey, you wanna go see x band/DJ that we’ve seen a dozen times? I do end up working two to three nights of the week in board meetings, and so having a night that I can be at home and just relax is just more appealing. I’m also becoming more and more a morning person, so I’m game to go out all day, get home at a reasonable hour, and go to bed.
That’s not to say there’s not things that bring me out these days, but I think it’s gotta have some draw.
All this being said, I’m good for a show a month probably, grabbing drinks a couple times, or dinner at friends’ houses. Not doing nothing, but certainly don’t have the compulsion to kick it like I’m 10-15 years younger than I am.

Yes, just say “I’m from the best US state” next time instead, OP, people will know what you mean.

In Mexico City people would bring plastic bags with them and return glass bottles immediately, and just drink Coke out of plastic bags with a straw.

Was gonna say she did, and that that type has great hair, but top right over here bucking trends. Why did she not have them kill him instead?

- Comment on how did you and your partner change after having a baby? 5 weeks ago:
When kids start to communicate, it gets so much better. Mine are 7 and 4 now and so we are over that hump (and only have three bedrooms and) permanently, but babies are frustrating AF, and that frustration rubs off on everything. My daughter, I can sit and really talk with her and find out about her day and her needs and her desires. My son is still a buffoon but I get glimpses of an actual person in there, and I love it.
Things are definitely harder when your kids are younger. They don’t communicate, you get frustrated, your partner is obviously frustrated as well, and it unfortunately carries into your relationship. My wife and I write letters to each other as the year goes along and plop them in a box. I do my best to not make it this rosy depiction of a wonderful life. I unload how some times can be difficult. It helps me remember that shit ain’t always perfect, and that’s that. It helps me let go of some negative feelings, and remember that some issues are acute for any number of reasons.
I always joke with people that I didn’t form this immediate bond with my children. I’m not sure it’s even a joke, but I make it a joke now, because my bond with them is immense now. The joke now is that I love them both so much more than their mom, and my wife understands it completely. And it’s not because of some love lost over the last 11+ years I’ve been with my wife, but that this relationship with my kids has just grown to a level I didn’t quite understand before.
So I dunno, I try to compartmentalize some of the bad times. They sure have existed. I try to remember that there’s always some rationale for intolerable behavior, and that sometimes you can’t just wish that trigger away, and that we need to just eat shit for a bit. And so that letter to my wife frequently helped me communicate about those times I was a less than ideal partner, as well as the times she was. And surely it was a vent for the times our kids could be little monsters.

I’m from Jersey (New). I go down the shore, and while down the shore I go to the beach. This is how it’s always been and always will be (until the shore comes up to me because we’ve destroyed the environment)!

Yeah, not even clicking on them works, that was my first test. I don’t care though, I know what it’s supposed to do, it’s more about using a moving picture to get a feeling across, and so long as it works for all yous guys, I’m happy.

- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 1 month ago:
Yeah, the complaining about spotify’s free tier is something I just don’t get. I grew up listening to the goddamn radio. No choice in what to listen to and ads all the time. But when your jam came on, it felt great every time.
I’m on a family plan with some friends. I’ve discovered a ton of new music because of Spotify. I’ve gone to many shows, bought merch, vinyls, for bands I never would’ve known had it not been for Spotify.
I’m just not sure what people want, but it reeks of entitlement. If you’re gonna pirate music, by all means, go to town. Nobody cares.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I go on Reddit and come here and I nod along and I’m like yes, yes, and then I leave and sometimes it feels like coming up from being underwater. We are quite literally surrounded in propaganda. It has never been easier to disseminate opinions, especially when the majority of our communications (mine for sure) come via text on a screen. It is in every single facet of our lives.
And so I talk to my brother and he always tries to get me to think more, he’s a smart guy. He says things like “Who benefits the most” from whatever, opinion I’ve talked to him about, and so frequently it goes back to corporations. I don’t want to get overtly political, but personally the best way I try to think about things is linearly: this thing we are talking about, trace it to its logical end point and origin. And then feel helpless again.
