  lol, this was on when I was growing up and I, along with a great many of my peers, were rolling with undiagnosed ADHD, autism, depression, etc, because the teachers and adults around us didn’t know shit about mental health, and didn’t help any of us.

  Have we reached the point now for my generation that younger people assume those times were better, where people were magically wiser etc, and where older people have rose tinted glasses and start telling the youth how much more mentally healthy everyone was, etc?

  People were people then just like they are now. People had mental health problems then just like they do now. It wasn’t heaven on Earth, it was just a few decades ago, that’s all.

  Yeah, as a little kid I hated seeing this on TV, it felt really creepy and disgusting. I still don’t like it :-(

  Sad that, of all the things that have changed in the world, nothing about this has changed one bit since then.

  I don’t believe in a brighter future any more.

  That’s Drew Scanlon, from back when he was on Giant Bomb live shows. Awesome guy, so strange that he became a meme! xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What they took from us⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming your family had the money to pay for the fancy TV channels that got these shows, otherwise good luck it’s just the 4 regular terrestrial channels and reruns of Thunderbirds and Danger Mouse xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millennials Owe 500% More in Student Debt Than Their Parents Did⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair to them, my parents grew up on a farm without electricity or running water. Unsurprising that they have less student debt than I do :3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨50 years of progress⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “One small step for a man”

  I know, I know, it’s not as poetic sounding and not how history most often quotes it, but that’s what he actually said, the “a” just gets a bit lost in his way of speaking and the less than perfect radio downlink.

  Once you know the actual quote and think about it, it makes way more sense too haha :-D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post title lol⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Millennials were ABSOLUTELY all about the lols, I can assure you. It was the most widely used acronym everywhere (second being brb, I would wager).

  We roflcopter’d and roflmao’d with the best of em! lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hee Hee Ho Ho Ha Ha⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the quote he’s not saying other jobs don’t suck out your soul, just that it’s different.

  In a vacuum, not knowing this guy or the rest of his statement, I don’t see anything obviously wrong with that he’s saying.

  They take a mental toll on you in different ways, but they all take a mental toll, is what he seems to be saying, and I find that reasonable.

  There are people who think trying to make a career as an entertainer (like in streaming) doesn’t take any toll on you at all, and that’s a misunderstanding we should dispell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get her engine going.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno, obviously I wouldn’t judge my partner for it, it’s not their fault, BUT it would be a big problem for me at least initially, I need silence to sleep, and the slightest noise (that gets through my earplugs - snoring directly next to me would do it) would make sleeping very difficult.

  I’ve already experienced it when someone slept over after a date (who turned out to be an extremely loud snorer) and oh boy, it was a night of torture, almost no sleep at all 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Precognition proven! Parapsychology vindicated!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Judging just from the image and title, I’m guessing they’re demonstrating this as evidence that there’s insider trading going on, as just prior to the US President making a huge announcement that rocked the economy, a sudden unusual spike in activity was recorded.

  This does not seem likely to be unrelated, given what this graph shows as normal activity.

  The author suggests humourously that this is evidence of precognition - of being able to predict future events using magic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Helldivers 2 Community needs to get a fucking grip on itself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The fanbase? They didn’t take this kindly and have now been making it a campaign to make that user’s life a living hell.

  I only browse the community stuff rather than engaging with it, but we’ve had very different experiences.

  What I’ve seen is everybody discussing how messed up you’d have to be to do something like that, after a minority of players did all that horrible stuff, the fanbase overwhelmingly calling for those responsible to face punishment in court and to be permanently banned from the game and community.

  As can be expected of any community, there’s always unhinged, bad people in the mix. There are bad people on Lemmy, there are bad people everywhere. That’s just life. As a society, we deal with them when they show themselves, and we take care of each other.

  You can tar the whole community with one brush if you’d like, but that’s not a path towards anything positive. It only leads to people like me being offended and angry when you claim I’ve (as part of the fanbase) been on a campaign to make someone’s life hell.

  It’s just not productive.

  Oof, unsupported walls in holes can kill you extremely fast. I’d never go into a hole deeper than my waist without shoring (even then, ehhhh).

  Who is this missing person with the pacemaker, and how is covering what’s happening to her helping Nazis?

  If it’s the elderly woman in the photo, and if she’s missing (trying to locate her heart makes it seem so), should word not be spread via the news, in case someone might have some information as to her location, etc?

  Or is the elderly woman a Nazi and you’d rather she not be found?

  We put our old furniture/appliances out, and when the scrap man passes they take it away for free (or you can call the council and they’ll take it away for free also).

  I’ve got a couch out in my garden at the moment, council’s taking it to the tip on Monday.

  …Where are we supposed to leave it for pickup, on the roof?
