expect this to ramp up in the near future, along with gradual erosion of the whole “innocent until proven guilty” stuff that has no place in a healthy fascism

you should read michael chrichton’s book sphere. it talks about some of the tom & jerry tier physics and biology disasters that can happen in a deep sea habitat

the whole point of the game was to illustrate how dumb libertarians are
- Comment on Wind energy jobs are taking off, but so are risks | Workers are pushing for improved training and safety standards to help avoid falls, electrocution and equipment failure 3 weeks ago:
i think “safety standards” in general are soon to be a thing of the past. that sort of thing costs money, and 1% no spend money, only take money
- Comment on FCC’s Net Neutrality Rules Struck Down by Federal Appeals Court 3 weeks ago:
tbf it’s not hard to convince hayseed chucklefuck trumplings that regulations which exist to protect them are a bad thing because they cost money. we had condo buildings collapsing and people dying WITH regulations.
when bridges start collapsing left and right, they’ll blame drag queens and the maga trumpistan patriots will lap it up like hogs at the trough

- Comment on America's Next Health Secretary Enjoying A Meal With His Future Boss and Colleagues 2 months ago:
i’m comforted by the fact that everyone in this picture despises everyone else in this picture. the thought that trump probably hates elmo because of his giant hands makes me happy

true, comedy inherently requires an audience, but you’re trying to move away from the core point of trying to get people to care about you on social media. people in a comedy bar are there specifically to watch comedy. not everyone who’s online is here specifically to watch hand crafted videos, and lamenting over the fact that you’re not getting engagement/upvotes (especially on lemmy) is just stressing yourself out for no good reason

ok. i personally know more than one person who thinks they’re hilarious and don’t care that no one else thinks so. they’re enjoying themselves and that’s enough for them.
and before you start talking about money (“need” feedback) , if you’re doing something in order to get paid, now you’re moving from “hobby” to “job” territory, which is a completely different thing. my point stands

another thing that makes us human is that yes, we absolutely do have some degree of control over what stresses us out. one of those things being what the world thinks about us, or whether they even care (spoiler alert: most don’t, especially on social media). i’m not telling anyone what to do or how to be. only what anyone can do

it is possible to enjoy doing a thing and have that be enough, without being discouraged because “not enough other people care about it.” i know because i used to get stressed about the same shit. coming to terms with the fact that 99.9999% of people on the planet just don’t care about you or anything you do might be tough, but once you get to “well i don’t really care about 99.9999% of people on the planet either” it gets easier

it’s not the hobby you enjoyed, it was the fake validation from internet randos
if your joy in life is dependent on social media likes, then you’re in for a bad time

- Comment on Stress 2 months ago:
yea, a friend of mine from high school went through all of it and became a general surgeon. and i’ve heard stories. that and my experience from dating and living with a CFer lung transplant patient probably gave me as much of an “outsider’s view” of the medical/hospital industry as one could possibly have
the MD=pedestal thing died for me long ago
i know i’m not talking about the “point” of the post. don’t care.
- Comment on Stress 2 months ago:
it’s not encouraging to think of someone being in med school and not reading the course description before signing up. if there was no course description that’s almost even worse
- Comment on Be happy if you woke up today and your throat didn’t hurt. 2 months ago:
we don’t think about the things that are going fine, only current problems. the marketing/advertising industry exploits this human tendency to the utmost, not only for your actual current problems, but problems you didn’t even know you had until they told you that you need to buy their solution for it
