Tryna be active on local servers but so many of them require real names, face pics, social media before even having ACCESS to the server. Like gee, could I atleast see what I’m missing out on? Just so I don’t fall for a honey pot at the very least? I genuinely couldn’t join them because I don’t have social media, even if I did I wouldn’t post my face to them (pre-requisite are socials with face in them)

Its very obvious they’re all made by extremely tech and privacy illiterate people.

Ngl they’d try to hide it from us to stop the economy from crashing

Live in a town called sorry?

Same with a local queer server that made an XMPP server. Only 4 (including me) actually made an account. The only reason ANYBODY joined is because were all anarchists but for most lazyness outweighed paranoia

What you mentioned was exactly what happened to me. I was literally a MINUTE walk from home and the button just WASNT doing anything, and the street was insanely busy. I was waiting for 30 MINUTES before I legit called my mom to drive like 300 feet to pick me up. It took 1 minute.

I was scarred from walking much ever since.

Same. If I’m at home trying to sleep I will genuinely have a panic attack without it. It’s the only thing that strongly occupies my attention enough to prevent a panic attack from setting in (that I can do while in bed)

Anything else is not personally engaging enough to prevent my mind from wandering (like listening to music, browsing Lemmy, or reading)

Anyone else feel really allienated when people act like it’s normal for women to have an anxious breakdown in the presence of, or interacting with a dude?

I don’t want to downplay what some go through, or the trauma that people relive, but it’s not normal or healthy to be living in constant fear of the opposite sex.

For all the guys who feel like their presence is an active threat to the women around them: just be normal. Be courteous, but don’t treat them higher, or lower, than anyone else you meet. Feels weird I have to say that

I think it’s that way for many, manyyyy things. It was what I felt learning professional timberframing (in the Japanese tradition). Online there is an incredible abundance of information, plus admiration of handtools, especially by professionals, but in the real world they are used very lightly, and the skills developed fine tuning them do not apply as much as you think.

I was expecting to beat my chisels like mad, but we mostly just pare (slicing cuts) with them.

No because corps and oligarchs will campaign against it, inexplicably win, and destroy one of the country’s greatest achievements with cheers and applause

Its cynical, but its happened to many social programs thay way.

Guys please, I actually need help. Is this a real segment?

After the m&m segment I genuinely CANNOT tell anymore

Usually store bought raw chicken is way bigger

Cause People. Don’t. Care

Even if something gathers illegal amounts of data, and has removed all ad blocking extensions, they will just use the default.

The average majority of people’s commutes are over 30 minutes, about an hour every day. Many people’s commutes are much longer. Combine it with zoning laws that make routine errands and necessities (like grocery shopping, pharmacy’s, basic services) much further from residential areas meaning the average American has to drive a lot. A substantial portion of their life is just spend driving, potentially 1-2 hours a day. If you are already up to your neck in work and chores, that time is extremely precious, so it’s understandable people want to minimize it by speeding, not considering the real risks if doing so.

I spent some time in very rural Maine, and EVERYTHING, even the most basic of necessities were at least 30 minutes away. The nearest hospital was an hour. People speed there like crazy.

I’m not on the side of speeders, or condoning their actions and behaviour, but do realize that it’s coming from a place, not necessarily of entitlement, but desperately trying to claw some of their life back

Da bitty!

Pathological liars feel the need to lie and decieve unnecessarily and pointlessly at every twist and turn. AI is their new bread and butter. Ask them why they act the way they do, and they probably can’t even tell you.

The fuck did I even read?

Chatgpt, figure this out for me

I have a bad feeling if goes through it will be extremely easily bypassable like every other tax the ultrawealthy are supposed to be paying

Yep, keep in mind all the retired old fucks who watch literally nothing but fox on their channel tv

The companies rooting for the destruction of net neutrality are far larger and numerous
