Agreed, but Lemmy feels like the old Internet for the most part. I suspect that 90% ish of comments here are actual humans. The remaining 10% is pushing some kind of agenda.

I've never used Twitter, but I've heard that it's just a porn site nowadays. Is that accurate?

In my area it would be something like "Men should go to war".

Idk who needs to hear this, but there's absolutely no shame in using a food bank. I volunteered at one for years and people were always so embarrassed. They always had an excuse, as if they had to justify the help they received. That's literally what it's there for! Everyone hits hard times at some point and your neighbors are here to help.

I later utilized a food bank for a couple years when I was recovering from homelessness and it was a godsend.

I'd be fine with going into the office if public transportation could get me there, but it's a 15 minute drive vs 1.5 hours on the bus. And when I go into the office I just put in headphones with a YouTube documentary and don't talk to anyone. What's the point?

This video is the poster child for "citation needed".

This game is such a great, short experience. Reminds me of Portal in that sense. It really hits you in the feels at several parts. Runs perfectly on the Steam Deck.

I can't stand working til 5. After work I still need to go to the gym, cook dinner, eat, clean the kitchen, walk the dog, spend time with my family, and relax. How is that possible?

I got a job that allows me to set my own hours and work 6:30-2:30 and it has been a godsend. Feels like I have a life again.

Wish I could say that I'd move to another country, but realistically I can't afford that. I'd guess I'd live life as normal but I'd always be paranoid at the increased risk of violence against trans people.

Same energy

I'm kind of amazed how my Gen Z buddies are so adamantly against pirating. They think the cops will bust down their door, literally.

This is the age of information. It would take a grand total of a few hours for the average person to watch a video to give them all the knowledge they need to avoid the pitfalls you listed.
