I like them. I’ve had times where I start reading an article and 10mins in I wonder how fucking long is this thing only to find out I’m not even halfway through. I don’t have time or desire to finish it so I just wasted 10mins.

Now I can see the aprox time it will take and if I’m interested /have the time decide if I want to read it.

Buy her an animal to keep her company. Maybe a dog?

Yeah lemmy support would be so nice.

“Men” includes a lot of scum, especially with online anonymity

If they catch him and prove it then yes. Its important for law and order.

I tell my coworkers I keep work and my personal life seperate. When I’m at work I’m focused on working. I make small talk and I’m polite but I’m busy and people respect that and I’ve never had any issues.-

I have absolutely no idea what I’d do in a workplace like yours. Probably die from socialization overdose.

You could ask your manager what they mean by opening up to coworkers because that sounds extremely abnormal. You could also try interuping the conversation everytime the coworkers talk to you “sorry can’t chat I’m working on something right now” then eventually they will give up. Eat lunch alone and tell them you prefer it that way. But it is good to make work friends to pass the time.

Its because the more you read and comment the less patience you have.

It might be your first time saying something stupid but for someone who has been on the community for a long time they may have seen the comment hundreds or thousands of times and are to tired to give it a soft understanding response. Mix in the fact that some people making the “stupid” comments are intentional and malicious in their intent and you end up getting old-head users who come off bitter and snarky.

Do you have 30min? You can get a decent strength workout in that time if you push yourself and take 30-45s of rest.

For cardio you could try high intensity interval training for 30mins.

Here is what I’d do. Full body workout 1 day. High intensity interval training the next. Stuff like sprints, hill climbs ab work. Workout as much as possible.

That looks extremely cozy

Its disgusting. We used to have a culture where audiences pushed back on ads and brand deals had to make sense. Now there is this “get the bag” mentality where audiences don’t give a fuck what sponsors the creator takes. It sucks because that ends up by giving scumbag companies a platform to all kinds of audiences.

Bidenomics is a right wing attack phrase and I’ve never heard Biden say the economy is doing great. So not sure what your point here was.

Do you have any examples of Dems telling people things werent bad? The closest things I can think of is dems saying we know things are bad but we are working on them and they are getting better. It feels like a republican talking point that dems think things are good.

Dems suck at combating Republican rhetorical strategy. I see so many leftists blaming Biden and Harris but Biden and Harris were good politicans with bad messaging. Leftists should have been yelling every single one of their wins from the rooftops but instead they were stuck rolling with republicans in the mud arguing about pointless shit like hatians eating dogs and hunter bidens cock.

I think dems need to seriously look at their strategy and leftists online need to think about how they are going to better boost that messaging. Currently republicans are in line and organized. When something happens you immediately see all the big republican figureheads talking about it and pushing the message out to their viewers and then their viewers go out and inject that message into every conversation.

Be interesting, do cool things and invite someone in to join you. Thats damn solid advice.

People often think their hobbies are boring or to niche and think that no one will care about them. But passion is infectious and by sharing things you think are interesting you will eventually find someone who wants to share it with you.

Also claim that any history that doesn’t fit their narrative is biased western history.

Just by reading the first sentence I can tell you that you will enjoy Linux. Don’t worry about all the technical stuff it seems complicated because you don’t know it. Just install Linux and use it and you will learn what all that stuff means. Since you’re building a new PC you got nothing to lose from trying out a few different Linux distros.

That was amazingly unhinged. I did not expect that ending.

So impressive. That’s a great photo.

Do you want this social media to be for your family to use only with family members or for them to use with family and beyond?

Revolt could be good as a local family group chat if you like the discord style. You’ve probably already tried it but Pixelfed/mastodon/misskey sound like the easiest to get family on board with and seem like they would be good family social media platforms IMO.

Extremely cute
