People change overtime. What you find important in this post, may very well not be as important to them today. I mean, I’ve asked former friends before in the past about certain events. A lot of the time I get mixed answers or I’m told that it doesn’t matter anymore. Because it didn’t and asking those questions came off as incredibly odd to even ask.

Because things do stop mattering to some people overtime. They might’ve undergone so many changes that even recognizing you may be difficult. They might’ve only done one thing in the past and just simply forgot about it or didn’t care enough for it to matter later.

I know if I was asked random questions such as that, I’d be more concerned as to whether or not it’d be relevant to what’s going on with me today, not then.

Well if Russia is adamant on using their nuclear missles by moving them to Belarus, that’s a telling sign as to who we know that would strike first. That’s the dangers of dictatorship in control of a country.

No country should have nukes and I think we should destroy all and any documents, research regarding nuclear development. It’s done nothing but make everyone fear for their lives and definitely leave everlasting impact.

First off, this is not Reddit, so stop trying to turn it into one with these kinds of posts.

Secondly, I reported your post for violating Rule 3 which seems to be the norm I guess. Because you’re looking for support.

Next time know where you are and read the rules.

Yeah but all that really does is piss off the purists. Like, it has been tried with Star Wars and to this day, people still bitch about the change in some effects.

Not really. I like fireworks. The only problem is, people firing them off in places where they would otherwise get penalized for. Like we’re not allowed to have fireworks/sparklers of any kind on the apartment premises. Yet that didn’t seem to stop a few idiots who fire them off thinking they’re living in homes and the cars that could get hit or be set on fire should things go wrong, exist.

Neither do I.

The moment I say ‘Lemmy’ or ‘Fediverse’, it is over their heads. That’s how much work the fediverse itself has go to, to make it more accessible.

Because the ideas of responsibility, accountability, integrity and honesty is a joke to all of them. They pretend to be scared of repercussions for their actions but once they’re on the brink of doing yet another law-breaking action, they throw their arms up and do it without a care. It’s because they can afford it, if not wealth, then just power.

Trump is also a murderer of negligence, 350k people died under his watch while fumbling a pandemic. So he’s a murderer and a rapist.

I don’t know but I’m thankful I don’t see any of that shit pitched to me yet.

Idiots seem to determine what gets popular on YouTube and that happened to be one of them for a good while.

I assume all high-level positions in tech companies are using better versions than what they shove out to the rest.

I mean, Microsoft treats Enterprise users with class with Windows 10 Enterprise. That version doesn’t have nearly the amount of bloat that even Professional has. Hell, Enterprise doesn’t even have that stupid online search function.

So it’s like they KNOW they have greenlit some shitty ideas, but, they won’t deal with it so why not just throw it all onto others to make their experiences miserable?

The point of the matter was, is that I knew I never wanted kids and I knew I never wanted to be a part of any custody-drama or interacting with the other parents or what have you. Yet, I was in one because I don’t know why and I completely disregarded whatever reason as to why since it was a long time ago, about 13 years ago. I guess I was trying to be flexible because most of my life, I’ve always had people tell me “well you can’t judge so and such unless you’ve tried it”. Well guess what? I tried dating a single parent, so they can eat shit, because it didn’t work out for me.

9 times out of 10, I’ve always had a choice to avoid kids and I continue to do so. Moreso ever after that shitty experience that long ago. That one singular point out of that score of 10, is accounting for when I’m at work and I can’t avoid them. So I didn’t really need a ‘lesson’ about what I said, in fact I found it pretty disrespectful because it is putting someone’s words in their mouth, even metaphorically. Especially when it’s a low-hanging fruit one that everyone largely knows about.

I’ve already learned that lesson and I’m basically saying - never fucking again. If it can be helped and it most certainly will be given how things in my life are going - never fucking again.

I’m wondering how the hell channels like CinemaSins gets away with it. One would think that channel would obviously get taken down with the amount of movie clips that he shows. I know he talks over them and thus may be fair game but, that’s still a lot.

If I was given the option, against my will despite me deciding to be childfree for my life, as to whether I would date someone who is a single parent or have sex with someone to have a kid with. I would rather have sex with the person to have a kid of our own with.

Never again will I date a single parent, when I already did. She was a single mother and she more or less gave up and lost custody of I think two kids to two different guys. Huge red flag, I know. And I believe that’s why we probably did a lot together without child interference. But I know she wasn’t perfect herself.

I even had a couple times, been in awkward moments where I was meeting the father of one of the kids. It was just a series of situations I don’t ever want to be in again. You just run the risk of being involved in things you didn’t ask to have any business to be in, in the first place. If dating single parents is your swing, then by all means if you can prove to be the better opposite than the original parent.

It’s not for me.

They’re allowed to only share bits of what they’ve heard by other clients if it relates to something you’ve told them. They’re not allowed to explicitly detail names. That’s what my therapist does.

Sometimes I get a nice but small euphoric high whenever I comment something or whatever is addressed or liked by some channel I’m subscribed to.

On a more IRL-like experience. I was at a tech conference was and there was a booth hosted by VPR which was Vermont Public Radio and I really liked listening to them at the time. They had a contest, a free one-entry raffle to win some cool gear. And my history with entering raffles was always on the losing end of the thing, whatever. I just filled out my name, address and put it down in the bowl.

Didn’t think anything of it and went back home when the conference was over. Some 2 or 3 weeks later, I get a package in the mail and turns out I actually won the draw. I got a nice canteen, a keyring clipper, some stickers, some decals, a nice keyring and I think a hat too. It was a nice feel-good moment.

Fuck, every night I come into work, there’s always handfuls of people that has everything on loudspeaker.

Phone conversations - take that shit elsewhere! I don’t need to hear your conversation! Some dude flipping over a bunch of TikTok or YouTube Short videos so fast that they auto-play and sound like one long stream Some people repeating videos over and over for all to hear

I don’t even use loudspeaker because everytime I use it, people claim they have a hard time hearing me and there’s so much interference.

It isn’t a matter of what I’d like to see on Lemmy, it is more like, I want to see more activity in already dead and mostly abandoned instances on Lemmy and the fediverse.

Oh god, the word salad. Not even going to try with you.

I believe there is some huge level of insecurity among people that make them act that way. It has to be. It’s their poor way of coping in a world they probably didn’t have any plans in how to navigate in, so why not just be a bastard online? It gives them a sense of superiority and power I guess, as false as it is.

If you’re having to go around and mindlessly pick arguments with people, be an asshole and try to tell them how you’re better than them? You’re most likely not better than them. You’ve only sunk down several levels yourself.

So what you’re saying is that you like the idea of online arguments? No, I can’t follow everything you’ve said in the first bit. If you want to argue with someone online, go do it in DMs or wherever else. Not at the expense of the community, nobody here usually comes to read sissy slapfights that usually escalate into insults and escalates into spite-reporting which drives mods/admins angry.

The Fediverse should be learning as to what not to be. This kind of behavior was very frequent on Reddit and still continues today. There should be an end to that kind of thing.

You’ve basically answered yourself.

People just want a browser that is privacy-focused, ad-blocking by nature and doesn’t break anything that people try to use like services to pay bills through and even trying to view important stuff like through a health portal.

But people in Mozilla, Microsoft and Google have different ideas and ambitions that work against that. Whether it is AI-driven, catering to advertisers, breaking things when they decide to change something that nobody asked them to change and whatnot. That’s why everyone is constantly looking for alternatives. They just want out of the bullshit.
