I agree in principle, but this is practically unenforceable. How do we determine as a society what will be beneficial in 9 generations, and agree?

WoTC, Reddit, Twitter, now unity. All made changes that their user base said they wouldn’t like, made the changes anyway, then lost a bunch of users. There must be some new business Guru telling everybody to piss off their customers

My partner and I recently moved to an entirely new city. It’s in a region I’ve lived in before, but a different city.

We found a meet up group called “ 20 something’s meetup” and went to a few events. We found some people we really enjoyed and invited them to a few other events, and still regularly attend the group as a whole. The internet has done a lot of work for us.

I make more than the article listed for my state, but it’s unlikely I could actually get by on my own, at least not without sacrificing some comforts like a well maintained apartment, eating every day, and paying my bills on time. Granted, I do live in the city. If I lived in the middle of nowhere my CoL would be lower, but then I’d be unemployed.

Stephen Crowder, fairly popular right wing figure. Honestly, I don’t know what he’s done or said that makes him notable, but I do know he is sexist and xenophobic. His wife divorced him for cause and he’s currently on a crusade to make divorce illegal

Yea, I work in a windows shop. All this shit is turned off for any device in our domain. No BYOD either.

“Hey man I’m not too stoked on ice cream”

“What do you have against brownies???”

That’s what you sound like.

Yea, it’s the fact that it seems impossible to resist. Yes, there are better ways than described to check out the holes, but it doesn’t ruin the story for me. I get those impulsive thoughts to jump off of cliffs or drive off roads so this story is the fear of following those thoughts.

I also think mastadon was trying to replace Facebook and twitter. A generalized assumption of those users is a lack of technical familiarity. Lemmy is the reddit alternative, and the users there tend to be way more technically proficient, or at least willing to learn.

I’ve had zero issues with Memmy. Maybe one crash in the couple weeks I’ve had it

Idk, I’d believe it. I’ve been involved in a few sports to the point that I’m doing deep diving into elites trainings out of curiousity. For some athletes, the only picture I would see is a small thumbnail profile pic that was basically indecipherable, or they would be in athletic gear with hats and such. I definitely wouldn’t recognize them on the street, and it would be a crap shoot if I’d recognize them on an airplane. The only ones that I’d have a shot at are Alex Honnold, Tommy Caldwell and Andrew Skurka.

I don’t have climate change denialists in my life. That’s usually indicative of other beliefs and values that don’t jive with mine, and we end up being incompatible as friends.
