  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).

  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.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bit rude, innit?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bit rude, innit?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s a dick move, it’s so rare that we get snow, I enjoy looking out of the window and seeing it.

  Not to mention that it’s taboo over here to enter someone else’s garden without good reason, this bloke’s asking for it though, where’s his hedge? Not even a fence? Come on. But I digress.

  Thing is, if they’d just asked I bet he’d have said sure, and been happy to help, but it’s people stepping over the line and going outside of the basic social contact we have in our communities, that’s what pisses ya off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Homeless kids in Greater Manchester to get free bus travel⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good.

  I’d rather things were done at a true national level, holistically with many other things, bringing in the systemic change we so desperately need to solve homelessness and beyond, but I suppose life has taught me that that will never happen.

  So, if my city can at least do one small thing to help one small group for a few years, good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you know your boss is an insane moron⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly! Plus, I always despise having to stay after everybody else has left those extra few minutes (if I’m 3 minutes late in the morning due to the bus or such) to ‘keep working’, it does nothing but make me dislike the management.

  That said, I’m also never staying late to help with anything, it goes both ways. If they don’t want to let me work with some leeway by a few minutes here and there, I’m not giving them an inch either. Especially given that it would be unpaid extra work!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you know your boss is an insane moron⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Given that I make it clear that I personally disagree with corporate nitpicking over small time stuff like this, and point out that their imagined loss in company profits are stolen production value of the proletariat anyway…

  can I take your swearing at me and telling me to be silent to mean that you yourself support the company in its demands that employees make up lost time by working late?

  Or, do you agree with me, but Lemmy perhaps is more like Reddit than we would wish it to be, where sometimes we don’t actually read what people say, not taking on onboard the content of their message, unless it’s very short?

  (I get that a lot to be fair, I’m told ADHD makes me a little verbose - I just like to lay my thoughts out with no room for misunderstanding haha)

  I think I made my stance against this anti-worker practice clear. I began by laying out my own experience here in the UK with my previous employers (who I note consider us wageslaves) which, while it may not be your own experience, doesn’t change what has happened to me, and went on to explain their perspective (flawed and at odds with the proletariat as I show it is), then went on to make clear that their perspective isn’t my own.

  …Is it a social crime to try to understand why our adversaries think the way they do?

  …Should we all simply shout about how much we dislike the evils brought about by our late stage capitalist overlords, but never once pick apart why they do what they do, why they think the way they do, and discuss it amongst ourselves?

  I’m not deep or particularly smart, nor do I stand out in any meaningful way in my understanding of worker’s history, laws, or how to fight for our rights.

  But if I, an average worker who grew up in Manchester, a labour movement hotspot, one who reminds their colleagues of the Peterloo Massacre lest we forget those lessons, one who invites them to visit our People’s History Museum to see our history of unions, strikes, and fights for our rights, …if I can’t join the discussion with any allowed response other than “They’re evil, but let’s not try to understand why so that we might better fight for each other”, what have we, as a workers movement, become?
