Not in*
You can be an educated and trained NEET. But if you’re not currently in school, employed, or taking training, you’re a NEET.
Though it generally only applies to people who fit the description for a longer period of time. You’re not a NEET if you’re just between jobs.
It also implies that you’re not seeking out any of those things but I don’t think that’s a “requirement”

But the reasons to be put off by lovebombing are justified. You’re a stranger juggling knives and frustrated that they’re backing away lol
- Comment on Anon needs a good response 6 days ago:
There’s like 2 misogynistic comments in a sea of genuine advice and they’re both pretty obviously sarcasm
- Comment on Anon needs a good response 6 days ago:
My friend’s going through something similar now and not saying something earlier is one of my biggest regrets.
We were both single when they started dating and I didn’t want to seem jealous by pointing it out. Now they’ve got two kids and are getting divorced because she found someone new to lovebomb.
- Comment on Anon needs a good response 6 days ago:
I man no disrespect but you gotta reign it in. I totally get where you’re coming from but getting lovebombed is a red flag for good reason.
You alluded to one reason why in your comment…if the infatuation isn’t mutual, it feels like the person is just excited to be in a relationship. They’re in love with being in love, not with me.
And unless you’re a narcissist, it just feels weird to put on a pedestal. Getting fawned over 24/7 is too much. People just want a partner that is a normal person most of the time.
It also has the connotation of codependence. And with that, it’s likely this person is going to have a mental breakdown if we break up in a year.
Lovebombing usually means baggage. It’s understandable that people don’t want to start a relationship with someone carrying a ton of baggage.

Yeah…the bicycles were kept in a place that didn’t require force to open. Meaning improperly secured…

Man I loooove split pea soup. You can use it as mortar but every spoonful is a warm hug in a way other soups can’t match
- Comment on Talk like an 👽 1 week ago:
I don’t know enough about the stuff to form a strong argument but I feel if they live on our plane of existence, they experience time. And if they’re intelligent enough to communicate with us, they could perceive the passing of it. Counting events of some kind would just come naturally
- Comment on Talk like an 👽 1 week ago:
I feel like any civilization advanced enough is going to have no problem with that.
A body of water is connected but you can count the waves. They’d surely count repetition, too, such as their planet rotating and and orbiting it’s starting. Or sound - “click” one “click click” two.
And if they’re as intelligent as humans, both species are able to learn new abstract concepts
- Comment on Back in the day the world had The Great Dictator speech speaking the truth. Then came Network with the I am mad as hell. In this era what speech are we going to look back from the future? 2 weeks ago:
I’m jumping on the dog pile to tell you to watch Andor. I am NOT a Star Wars guy but I got talked into this one by a friend who knows my general distaste for the franchise.
It’s fantastic, I really have nothing bad to say about it. It’s not campy like Star Wars, it doesn’t feel rushed, and the stakes a lot more visceral.
It’s also extremely relevant in 2026

Nemik’s manifesto would be my pick, too, mainly because it resonated with me when I was feeling helpless about the world
Tap for spoiler
There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this, Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try.
- Comment on Can people tell sex of a dog just by looking at the dog? 2 weeks ago:
He, she, his, her…my dad will use each one to refer to the same dog at different times. He’s done this with every dog any of us have ever had. We’ve given up correcting him.
So maybe pronouns literally ARE too much for some people lol

Yes it’s Lemmy markdown for superscript. Or at least that’s what my client tells me
- Comment on Anon makes a big mistake 3 weeks ago:
Yes, that’s the guy!
It was misinformation, though. Q and the most extreme bigots are from 8chan*. I don’t think you did it deliberately which is why I didn’t call it disinformation, it’s just not accurate
- Of the chans. There’s plenty of forums that make 8chan look tame.
- Comment on Anon makes a big mistake 3 weeks ago:
Q is from 8chan. One could argue that 8chan came from 4chan but they were two distinct beasts at the time. 8chan is (was?) where the people too extreme for 4chan went.
Not defending 4chan, just correcting the misinformation.
- Comment on British cyclist refused £15k payout because thieves ‘weren’t violent enough’ 3 weeks ago:
Yes, your vehicle IS explicitly not included in your homeowners insurance. This isn’t buried in the paperwork or some kind of gotcha.
You’ve outed yourself as having only read the clickbait headline so this argument is useless. If the thieves didn’t have to break anything to steal the bikes, they were not secured.
- Comment on British cyclist refused £15k payout because thieves ‘weren’t violent enough’ 3 weeks ago:
Common sense would have been a better term to choose. They left $15,000 in a type of container that’s famously easy to get into.
- Comment on British cyclist refused £15k payout because thieves ‘weren’t violent enough’ 3 weeks ago:
Read the contracts you sign
- Comment on British cyclist refused £15k payout because thieves ‘weren’t violent enough’ 3 weeks ago:
…Is this not common knowledge/sense? Don’t leave anything valuable in your vehicle??
Fuck insurance companies but if this was a bag of £15,000 in cash instead of 3 bikes, no one would be outraged because it’s such an obviously stupid move

They said “with tits” and that’s not how I would describe the video in the post just because the host is a woman so I didn’t think they meant this one in particular
- Comment on Anon is a youtuber 3 weeks ago:
Same thing as a subway surfers clip playing in the corner
- Comment on Anon is a youtuber 3 weeks ago:
Really? When I see a video like that, any horniness is overruled by the ick factor of using sex to advertise. If you need to show off your boobs to get views, I assume the content beyond the boobs isn’t worth watching
- Comment on Anon listens to British music 4 weeks ago:
Why on earth would I look up the original definition for a word when someone used the slang that derived from it and I already knew both definitions?

He wrote “cucked” which is modern slang
- Comment on Trump, Who Calls Mail-in Voting ‘Cheating,’ Just Voted by Mail 4 weeks ago:
I can’t fathom any reasonable person giving Trump the benefit of the doubt about anything election related in 2026.
I’d say “think harder” but uh, you can actually think LESS when the answer to why he wants to stop mail-in voting is this obvious.
- Comment on Anon listens to British music 4 weeks ago:
Have you?? It’s about getting cheated on, he’s clearly not on board with it lol
- Comment on Anon listens to British music 4 weeks ago:
That’s not what the song is about lol

The fuck were they doing recommending that pile of shit? That’s almost as bad as having to watch The Apprentice in one of my classes.
A lot of people started hating Trump in 2015 but he’s been my enemy since 2004. No way you can watch that show and like that guy
