Even Ford, piece of utter feculence he was, understood that if you gave people money and time to spend it they’ll give it right back to you and everyone gets to come up together.

No one can suggest Lemmy or any federated social media on corporate social media. I’ve had comments removed from various platforms just for answering curious people looking for alternatives, I assume Reddit is doing the same.
- Comment on Vivid dreams about love 1 week ago:
I woke up and wrote this last time I was lucky enough to be cursed with one of these dreams:
Drag me kicking and screaming
From my slumber
From my dream of you
Who only exists as a part of me
Who disappears with every breath
With every mundane thought
Of the waking world
We were so close and so happy
I could not have foreseen
I’d wake up
And send you back to the ether
Of forgotten dreams
And hallucinations
And Bells and chimesTime for work

That is surprising for those who have a long familiarity with Loops. The chronological timeline was a major selling point.

Rents are already higher than mortgages and the whole point of the 50 year mortgage is a lower monthly payment, but okay yeah I’m the idiot.

- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 2 months ago:
they’re aiming to lock people into a mortgage that would cost more per month than renting the same property until they’re 90.
How do you figure that?

It was an ex and one he proclaimed to be toxic at that, so I’d be more concerned for the party that didn’t consent to have their story shared or turned into a meme.

*People" You know it’s funny, it shot up to around ten upvotes, then suddenly it was -2 and now it’s where it’s at, so I think one person with a few alts just took what I said personally. And you know how it is, people see the down votes before they read the comment and form an opinion that shapes how they read the comment, if they read it at all. I don’t mind, it doesn’t matter, and we’re all just here to shoot the shit anyway. I’m well aware of how amazing I am at word choice and getting my point across (/s), and I know people tend to get defensive when you insinuate the bad thing they did when they were drunk was more about them than the alcohol. It’s a point I stand by, though. I used to drink a lot, and I’m not proud of all of my actions from that time period, but I do own them. And I know the terrible things that my supposed friend did nearly every time we drank was just him showing me how he truly feels and wants to act, and I will absolutely crucify myself on this hill before I let people like that blame the alcohol rather than self-reflect. But I’m glad to know there are others out there like you who know that no one and nothing is responsible for their actions but themselves. Personal responsibility seems to be fading out in our society.

Sounds like cope, or we’re talking about different kinds of actions, but okay. I’ve seen a lot of drunk people do a lot of dumb and horrifying shit and none of it could be classified as instinctual behavior, it was definitely just the shit they wanted to do sober. But I have also done a few minor dumb things while drunk, like throwing up off a balcony; that isn’t something I’ve ever thought about doing sober, but in the moment it happened before my rational brain caught up to stop me, so that sounds more like what you’re talking about, and I’d be inclined to agree to that extent, though I didn’t jump off the balcony afterward, so I don’t see being drunk making people answer the call to the void. I’m talking about people who suddenly become violent or overly sexual when they’re drunk. That’s all inhibition loss showing us the real person without the filters. They absolutely are hidden desires.

BS. Drinking lowers your inhibitions, it doesn’t make you do anything you wouldn’t want to.
