  As a mother I don’t really care for mothers day either. Nor to I care for Valentine’s day.

  I am a mother everyday, and I love my husband everyday, I don’t need a capitalistic holiday that requires spending money to celebrate this.

  I’ll take the cake on mother’s day, but mostly it’s for my kid and husband feel good for doing something, not because I expect it. Corpo holidays can fuck off wirh their expectations, yes

  I like my junk pile of analog human experience

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm so tired.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I slept nearly 12 hours last night, woke up, had a panic attack, then took a nap for four hours.

  Woke up, put on The Elephant Graveyard Radio Hour, danced and cleaned my house happy.

  It’s also been a long time since a nap like that worked so well. Sometimes ya just need to sleep.

  I laughed too, until I raised a toddler with ADHD. He wasn’t diagnosed yet, but lord was it obvious he had the markers. Never leashed him, but definitely ran after him a lot, and had to keep a hyperfocused eye on him at all times.

  I don’t laugh as hard now, I still giggle, but just not as hard

  Fine, yes. I was just throwing an idea out there. I don’t know how to pirate shit anymore, and am to an age where I can afford to support artists directly, so if one can, one should.

  Where did the music to pirate come from back in the day? Was it not uploaded from a CD and then file shared?

  I did learn in this thread there are numerous other streaming services I was completely unaware of, so thats cool

  Yeah it was okay here too, until he hit middle school and a classmate mate told him about it …sigh…

  They don’t stay little for long, I know but I was not prepared!

  In the early years of Spotify I liked that it stored the songs on your sctual device, so you didnt need an active Internet connection to listen to the songs.

  No algorithm but buying physical media again is one path.

  A few months ago I got a couple CDs and I’m hoping to rebuild my collection and get off Spotify. It supports artists better, and YouTube is still there to help discover new music.

  Buy a CD a month instead of your service. A roll back for technology of course, but worth trying imo

  Our musician are getting fucked with streaming services

  I dislike that you can’t block NSFW stuff. My son found NSFW stuff on Spotify… and I had to take it off our Living Room Tv and ban him from using it for now. I think you can block accounts, but there were so many… Go ahead, search tits on Spotify… fucking wild to me it’s not moderated.

  I wish I could get my son to this point! He is so rough on literally everything he owns, I do a sweep through his room yearly to get rid of the broken stuff. The only toy that has survived through the years is legos. Thank goodness he’s getting older now, and toys aren’t really what he wants anymore. I always wished to donate old toys clothes, but my boy is the destroyer of all things lol

  I lived in a one bedroom apartment as a single mom of one. Perfectly fine, and I agree with what you are saying, but a one bedroom with three kids and both parents? Seems a bit much…

  Not my looking like a psychopath to my husband deleting my long time google account to set up a burner (because i cant even use maps/tap to pay without one).

  I’m tired of being tracked. Being on lemmy I’ve gotten multiple ideas to help negate these apps/tracking models. I am ever greatful. Theres stil so much more I need to learn/do however.

  There have a been a few times over the last few years, that my “bullshit- this is an extemist plant/propaganda” meter has gone off for left leaning individuals.

  Meaning these comments/videos are aimed to look like they are left folks, but are meant to make the left look bad/extremist in order to push people from the working class movements.

  Im truly a layman, but you just know its out there. The goal is indeed to divide us, and everyone should be suspect of everything the see on the Internet and do proper vetting of their sources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is, when you speak to red hats on an individual level, the person you commented said they want the same basic safety and quality of we do. I agree, this is true.

  Where it strays is folks in power have preyed on the ignorance of the most blue collar, “School is for yuppies” “never lived anywhere but the boonies/sticks” kind of people.

  The propaganda worked on them. They were targeted by this regime for decades, and it’s finally manifested.

  Of course I speak on a macro level, because on a micro level I’ve cut out every racist/bigot in my life. Propaganda is a hell of a drug, and not everyone finds value in education which helps you spot it. Its a mess for sure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Folks here thing regulation, and immediately put it to food and Ai white collar applications.

  Working in plastic manufacturing for ten years, and chemical manufacturing for a few more, the term deregulatuon terrifies me. Regulations keep employees safe, and aim to keep the products we make safe.

  I think of environmental impacts first and foremost, which is the kind of deregulation I assumed with this regimes obsession with bringing back coal, oil, and mining/deforestation if our national parks.

  Getting money out of politics is implemented with regulation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump, in blue, sleeping at Pope Francis' funeral⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Another reason I’m glad to be off reddit. I still check the front page with no account, and they posted a wider image, With many in the crowd in blue. To me it looked altered, like one of those black and white colorized photos. I really can’t tell. The comments were full of people defending this.

  I truly can’t tell whats real sometimes, but why tf would you wear blue? Even if more did… why? Match your wife dude- culturally in the states we wear black.

  As a mother it’s giving: “I don’t care what (your friends) others are doing, My “president” (kid) should have more decency than this”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point in getting married?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey i wasn’t trying to be hard on you, sorry it came off that way. I’m not married either, and been with my, what we call, common law “husband” for many many years now. The last name thing is complicated for me too, you dont gotta explain to defend your choices, I don’t care what other folks do in their lives, not hurting anyone.

  I just laughed and am knocking on you saying youve been meaning to ask her how she feels about the situation, and you’ve “been meaning to ask” for two years since you had the kids, goofball

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point in getting married?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wasn’t married when I had my children, chose to hyphenate. I’m unsure how I feel for your wife if this topic didn’t come up two years ago, goodness

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do office workers actually do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was until a few years ago, a machine operator in plastic extrusion. All but one of our engineers were useless. Did they do work? Sure. Was it productive to the line? Occasionally…

  We paid $20,000 for a new mil thickness tester, made by young engineers at the local university.

  They held a whole “class” to show us how it worked, presentes not by the ones who build it, but by our engineers.

  It failed during presentation. So we all learned how to measure manually instead. It never worked. They ended up installing the old one back, which hardly worked.

  Then for the next year it sat broken, and unless the old thickness tester was in a good mood, we had to do it manually, which was so utterly time consuming and difficult.

  While I think engineers are important so many just fuck around, least where I worked.

  I find it peculiar we never heard about ms-13 until a few months ago (at most).
