Deconditioning. If we had a really serious full-on plague we’d eventually get casual about the corpse disposal wagon.

Lemmy has much less content at this point because there are only a fraction of the people, but I think it has correspondingly fewer assholes.

I’d say don’t believe in it.

So-so. Trying to get some electronics working but they’re being stubborn. Had to take a lot of frustration breaks.

If you turn your internet router off and on, it should be assigned a new IP address by your ISP. That’s how mine works anyway. This is why dynamic DNS services exist, so you can host things at home even though you don’t have a static IP address.

IMO the uneducated take would be to think passages from an Econ101 book reflected the IRL hardships of changing jobs, possibly relocating, being out of work during the transition, willingness to take a pay cut out of desperation, etc. The word “sophomore” comes from the Greek term meaning “wise idiot” - closely related to the Dunning Kruger effect. Also “apathy” doesn’t mean recognizing ineffective, self-serving virtue-signalling for what it is.

edit: wow, people REALLY hate thinking the laziest possible “action” hits the wrong targets. To repeat: boycotts hurt employees more than investors and CEOs. The important thing is to bury this piece of truth deep in the ground and keep feeling the righteous glow of “doing something” even if it’s ultimately self-defeating.

Yeah I still use Old Reddit when I go there.

I don’t get the problem with being banned. I used to create a new reddit account when I thought of a new username I liked. DGAF about karma so I just threw accounts away. On one occasion I did get banned and just created a new account, no big deal. If you want to go back just go back.

I just like lemmy more. I still visit reddit irregularly, like every few days.

A flying car like on the Jetsons.

Since employees end up suffering more from boycotts than executives or investors do, I don’t think you should boycott anything. If you really need the delusion of being an avenging angel of justice without misdirecting it at people who are no richer than you, maybe go vandalize a CEO’s car.

Everything I like has more than 5 ingredients if you count seasonings. Might as well heat up soup.

Just click your heels together three times, Dorothy. You’ll find all the fascism you need right in your own backyard!

Well that’s just like, your opinion, man.

Yeah I’ll go along with that.

Kitchen sinks. Instead of doing the dishes they just let them accumulate!

Dude I’m a lot older than 18, I’ve asked you several times what you meant about “fixing” things. Apparently that was just BS, so whatever.

No, I’m asking what happens when you work twice as hard to fix things.

Okay Rambo, have fun stormin’ da kessel.

I agree with your analysis of Trump’s surprising victory. His fellow republicans didn’t expect it because they don’t understand his charisma. I don’t think he does either, he just thinks he’s irresistible and that his critics are irrational. But no one in his party will be next in line. Being VP won’t give bestow that on Vance, except procedurally if Trump croaks in office. No Republican all-star has Trump’s weird Pied Piper quality, and he will never anoint a direct successor because that’s not in his personality. Trump gives people his blessings to help them into subordinate positions, and that’s all. When he’s gone I think it will be a wild scramble, every man for himself - which with any luck will disorganize the party enough for a well chosen Democrat to win the next election.
