In times of economic crisis, friends and family are even more important. That’ll be your insurance policy without being scammed by insurance companies. People in poor countries have big families because nobody else cares for them.
There never were “alpha wolves” in the wild. When a wolf is shunned from the group, it usually dies. The same applied to humans for most of our history, and might apply again soon.
Never fuck with the people who decide your nursing home.
or Bitcoin (I’m open to mining it in the background, but I don’t like the idea of turning real cash into fake cash).
You don’t have to! You can just mine and then spend it directly on goods/services.
Christianity is in decline. By the next 25/25/25, it’ll just be the release date of Elder Scrolls 6.
“Can’t tell leftists and liberals apart” should be in the same segment as “likes capitalism”.
The stuff that’s falling apart is stuff that I want to fall apart. Smaller servers aren’t going down, Cloudflare is. Linux isn’t betting its future on AI, Windows is. Google was already enshittifying before LLMs and we needed room for competitors.
The clueless suits are all building coffins for whichever suit replaces them next quarter.
That is delightfully gameable. Just don’t do it all at once. ;-)
I hope we never change the Lemmy upvotes.
Both of these, especially together, created a chilling effect on open discussion. People would even delete their posts to preserve their karma.
Even when you’re reading someone else’s comments, it’s delightfully difficult to cyberstalk them. “Sort by controversial” or “sort by negative” were great ways to find the least popular thing anyone said and smugly quote it years later.
Sure, there’s third-party sites where you can see all that and more, but I’m not tempted to use them, and they reveal their users as losers.
Edit: to the downvoters, jk I don’t care
Perhaps this is an exception, but I’ve disregarded that rule to use the building’s only baby changing table a bunch of times.
Who says you have to get out of your seat?
When a baby is crying on an airplane during takeoff or landing, I visibly and audibly yawn in front of them on purpose, so they catch the yawn and pop their ears.
I worked at a forge where they did this next to the presses in the summer, it was super nice. Less sexy than you’d imagine though.
It drives me nuts when bad DMs metagame and have the guards just decide to spend arrows on wild shape animals. I ended up just always playing rogues with that guy by the end because then I could just roll, and he never let us rest.
She’d call him Kwame Kongo
Edit: omg I forgot about Shacklebolt
Like the thagomizer but for the colon.
It’s nice to have a place that feels like early Reddit, but I can’t help but wonder if a large percentage of the people who got banned and came here were banned for valid non-political reasons.
Maybe I was getting too used to Redditors telling me I’m absolutely right.
I just picked that part with the ublock eyedropper. All landscape videos for me please.
