I felt the warmth of my cat cuddling next to me when I woke up this morning.

I saw the light of the moon shining into my bedroom.

I heard the buzz of traffic humming through my window.

I understood that I had to set my fantasy football lineup because I forgot to last night.

Then why aren’t you rioting?

Non-US people have such an hilariously skewed view of the US healthcare system

My ex told me people didn’t like me because I shared my thoughts too much, and I just got feedback from my boss about the same thing

Often times when this criticism is brought up it’s not the fact that you’re simply sharing your thoughts, but rather the thoughts themselves that you’re sharing. If your opinions are problematic then obviously people won’t want to hear them and won’t want to be around you. So if you don’t mind, could you share exactly what you said that made these people criticize you in this way?

And I apologize for being an asshole in response. I would say that I hadn’t had my morning coffee yet but I’ve been trying to hold myself more accountable so instead I’ll blame my overall addiction to caffeine

the vast VAST majority of average internet users are basically brain dead and want maximum convinence at any cost, including privacy and being treated right by the service as a user. They quite simply don’t care what happens as long as they can still get their garbage content drip fed to them without any work, learning, or inconvinece on their part.

If you don’t want to be called pretentious then maybe you shouldn’t spout pretentious nonsense like this

(I highlighted the pretentious parts)

I don’t have the technical knowledge to understand lemmy’s decentralized federated nonsense and I’ve been using it just fine. You think you need to understand how something works to use it? Or do you think idiots like me are too scared to use something we don’t understand? Because I’m saying you’re wrong on both counts. And if you don’t like average idiots like me taking over your beloved platform then maybe you should just suck it up because I’m not going anywhere, and if this site continues to grow then pretty soon the average user will be a lot more like me than like you.

Comments like this are exactly why people aren’t gonna wanna join Lemmy.

For reference: I’m one of the brain dead convenience seeking idiots you’re describing. Lemmy isn’t that hard to understand. What sucks about Lemmy is pretentious users like you treating it like something it isn’t when in reality it’s just another in a long list of average to middling message boards.

I don’t know if I ever came to terms with it, the thought of one day not existing has always brought me a level of deep comfort. Maybe try looking at it as a good thing instead of a bad thing.

I like Bo Burnham’s titles (both from the song Rant):

“The Blue-balled Anti-masturbator” and “The Great All-loving F*ggot-hater”

Edit: the instance removed the hate speech (which I was simply quoting and don’t condone) so I censored it

I would say overall I’m below average. Fairly dumb. Bottom 30% of society.

I don’t mind it too much. I know a lot about cinema and film history so I’m happy with that.

I cry at the most random things. Most recently I cried during the last episode of Only Connect because a contestant solved a clue in a very clever way

I still use both and they don’t come close to serving the same purpose

Wow, I haven’t thought about Wesnoth in nearly two decades. Great game!

I would love to go on strike right about now

I was wondering what you guys were using

I’m still using youtube because that’s where all my favorite content creators are and I don’t care about ads 😬
