- Comment on Why isint lemmy more popular? 1 week ago:
somewhat. early reddit was a lot more mainstream. it was mostly a link aggregator in its early days and subreddits were not really a thing until later.
- Comment on I hate how inescapable politics are on Lemmy, but ya know, at least nobody's constantly asking how I wipe my butt or pick up my dog's poop then completely ignoring me when I try to answer. 1 week ago:
You mean I’m not a delusional internet revolutionary who thinks using Linux and making internet comments is going to bring about a communist utopia? Yeah, I’m one of ‘those people’.
Only person making your life miserable is you.

Yeah it has. It’s been way worse, actually.
But don’t let history get in the way of your doomer beliefs I guess.

The world has always been this way. You just weren’t being doped on it 24/7 via your phone.

Nobody is sending anyone to camps bro.
Might help if your talking points were delusional conspiracy nonsense.
- Comment on Zero tolerance policies in schools and mandatory minimum sentences have the same arguments and issues 1 week ago:
it’s not about making sense.
it’s about absolving administrators of accountability.

lemmy is too small to have active niche communites. the only active communities are the general ones.
- Comment on South Korea police say 120,000 home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage 1 week ago:
people’s fears are often irrational and disproportional to actual dangers.

that’s cool, but the vast majority of people don’t. for them it’s about whether you are on their team, and how pure your loyalty to their team is.

the issue is that ‘political’ people inject their politics into everything, and want to put every comment and commentator into the prejudged boxes they regard as right and wrong.
- Comment on South Korea police say 120,000 home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage 2 weeks ago:
some people are paranoid and rig up cameras in every part of their house under the guise it will keep them secure.
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 2 weeks ago:
no
- Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 2 weeks ago:
Canada has a lot of immgration that has brought about increasing inequality.
- Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 2 weeks ago:
The only reason their society is that way is because it’s not diverse.
all the scandavaian counrties are having issues because of immigration is destroying their social harmony.
- Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 2 weeks ago:
None of them.
Pretty much all high quality of life countries have large economic inequality, and life is great if you’re in the top quarter of the economic strata, and everyone else is often struggling.
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 2 weeks ago:
this made me laugh. That’s precisely what I deal with all the time. Everyone is weirdly superficial and the second you try to go any deeper they freak the fuck out. Apparently everyone is operating on a level of immediacy and impulsiveness that I can’t comprehend.
I used to go on dates in the 2000s and 2010s and have cool conversations and feel like I was getting to know the person on a deeper level… that basically disappeared about 8 years ago. Every date I had from 2018 onwards was just endless shallow bullshit or the other person complaining about politics or money. Zero substance, zero curiousity, zero depth.
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 2 weeks ago:
I actually don’t bring my phone when I leave the house.
It blows people’s minds and they immediately start lecturing me how stupid, rude and irresponsible it is.
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 2 weeks ago:
that’s not how sex works though.
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 2 weeks ago:
honestly, i have had the SAME experience. the trans people are way more chill than the non-trans people who think they are ‘fighting’ on behave of trans people.
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 2 weeks ago:
where i live all anyone cares about is the clothes you wear, the college you went to, the job title you have, the town you live in, the car you drive, etc. nobody cares about anything beyond that. and the second you don’t have the ‘right’ answer to any of this stuff you are subhuman scum not worth interacting with.
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 2 weeks ago:
that’s exactly why i left my communities/hobby activities. I can’t live my life that way. It’s miserable being around miserable people who want to be offended by everything.
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I agree it’s really social media shit.
I had no problems socializing 10-20 years ago. Now it’s incredibly difficult because people don’t really want to socialize anymore so much as be validated incessantly. It’s warped people’s brains to think any minor discomfort is this horrible thing, and anyone who disagrees with you is a raging asshole.
In my college days I used to like being around people who disagreed with me and talking about those disagreements. That is how I made most of my friends Now that is all but impossible. The second you disagree now, no matter how trivial, people demonize you and start saying crazy over the top conclusions about how evil and awful you are.
Literally, I’ve had many of my dates the past few years scream at me what a racist piece of shit I am for the books I read, and also for the books I don’t read. Mostly because I read classics and to people’s mind anyone author born before 1970 is a racist piece of shit or something. I do not understand how people have normalized this insanity.
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 2 weeks ago:
No, it’s when you tell other people what they want to hear, they want to be around you.
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but also sometimes the more you try the worse it gets.
If I don’t try to date, for example, I won’t get a partner. OK, but I also won’t have drinks thrown in my face, be screamed at, and be harassed by stalkers. All of which I have had to deal with in dating and was all so intensely negative I’m not sure the potential positive is worth it.
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 2 weeks ago:
just because people like the same shit that you do doesn’t mean they want to be your friend or you will have any deeper connection than them than the superficial interests involved.
what people are lacking is deep relationships. like emotional connections. not just enjoying being nerdy together.
- Comment on Black Friday, more like buy stupid shit day. 2 weeks ago:
Bingo. I basically think about what I"m going to buy in the next six months and list it up and then buy it on black friday if it’s below the normal price. And usually it is.
I just bought 6 bags of $25 coffee for $15 each. Bought a bunch of summer stuff that I will use next year. Saved 60 bucks on what I was going to buy anyway.
- Comment on Black Friday, more like buy stupid shit day. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it does happen, but it’s mostly shitty companies that do that.
- Comment on Black Friday, more like buy stupid shit day. 2 weeks ago:
Depends on what you are buying. PC/gaming stuff, yeah this year sucked. sports stuff? amazing deals to be had.
