History because history always repeats itself. Human nature never changes so throughout time you will see both the good and bad repeated over and over again. If you think the reality of today is special or new you just haven’t studied history. Bet you don’t know that almost every new advance in technology was initially bashed as “that will never be popular” until it became the standard
The best job to have is the one that you don’t need. I was fortunate enough to retire early from a high stress job. I didn’t hate the job. I just had enough. After 3 months I was bored. Got myself a part time job. And as was mentioned in an earlier comment, if the place burns down I couldn’t care less. I’m always on time, never sick, and good at my mickey mouse part time job because it’s a joke compared to the real job I had. It is fascinating to observe my fellow workers who are all very nice people because for them THIS is their career and for me it’s just a throw away to get out of the house.

Lemmy Shit Post is the best for just a laugh and with little political nonsense
This happens on Lemmy because we don’t have a “flair” method. On reddit you can set up a group for “gun owers” as an example. To post or comment to that group on reddit you have to message the mods and request flair. Your request has to have links to posts or comments that you have made proving that you are a gun owner.
But on lemmy you can set up a “gun owers” group and constantly have people who hate guns posting and commenting. Your only alternative is to remove their posts or comments or ban them.
The advantages of Lemmy are 1) being able to see a modlog and know why your comment or post was removed. 2) Lemmy mods rarely permanently ban people which I believe is a vast improvement over reddit.
I wouldn’t worry about that. 20 years ago it was predicted by the “experts” that Miami would be under water a decade ago. Nothing has changed.
I do the same thing
So we might actually land some people on Mars before you die
Parties in general are like that for me. And then there are those special days like New Year’s Eve and St. Patricks Day when the police are more focused than ususal on possible drunk driving
Went to a neighborhood party. No driving needed. Home by 10 and out cold by 10:30
BS. But I’ve found that a person’s educational level doesn’t always translate into competency depending on the job. If I could do it all over again I would have gone to school to become an electrian.
In my frequent visits to Hawaii in the winter months they are 5 hours behind EST. So NFL games would start at 8AM
Mine is the same year.
I don’t know if it’s genetic or just the way that you are raised. I was simply raised to never get too emotional. And crying was never allowed. I still remember my father saying, “stop crying like a girl.” As an adult the only times that I have actually cried were over the deaths of dogs that I had. Even when very close family members died I never shed a tear.
Simple, stupid, and reliable
what do you mean by “having men be almost robotic”?
The starting point for social media is knowing that it’s all a joke. People say (post) things that they would never do in real life. The troll thing is best described as lonely people living miserable lives. In real life they have a horrible attitude and therefore no friends. They also (on the internet) try to idenitfy with a specific group. A group that is cult like in that they have the right answers for everyone. The troll then “enforces” those delusional beliefs on any poster or commenter on social media who disagrees. The troll is incapable as a cult member of having a logical discussion on social media so they simply revert to grammar school behavior and “call names”. In addition to “correcting” anyone who doesn’t think just like them, they “report” all those who are non compliant with their world view. A truly sad life wasted.
I don’t personally know one person who did. They just moved onto doing both
It is very accurate. It has been thoroughly documented that many times Russians soldiers were sent out without guns and told to find a gun from another dead Russian.
