Tbf, part of why shit it so bad is because people are uneducated. If they can’t think for themselves then they’ll just believe whatever bullshit Fox News or the algorithm feeds them without critically thinking about it at all

That would be a pretty good distraction, although I think I would need labor protections on top of that to be really distracted

Wait, I thought he forced all the women he’s been involved with to do in vitro to make sure he only has sons (and that’s part of why he hates his daughter)?

Look, I agree that everyone intentionally trying to be famous, whether it be online or as like an actor or something, needs to be aware that this behavior is a reality they need to be prepared for. BUT that doesn’t mean we ignore the weirdos online and don’t sympathize with famous people. We should still discourage people from being rude or parasocial, and it’s normal to feel bad for humans going through shitty things, regardless of how much money they make related to that. Yes, she can stop posting, but that doesn’t excuse other people’s actions, and realistically some people would continue to be weird even if she did just vanish from the internet

Yes

Thanks! I’ll check it out!

What’s the name of the top left one?

But how will he get the centrist votes to win??? 🙄

Thank you for your service against laziness o7

Haha this got a good laugh out of me. I’m stealing it <3

Yup. Florida police

I get being afraid of going to a protest considering we have police literally saying they’ll just kill people, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get involved with those organizing the protests. See if you can get involved with the organizers of your local protests and ask them what they need for the protests. After all, those signs you see people carrying didn’t make themselves. At the very least you can call your reps and make your voice heard. Even if your reps are dems, make it clear that you want real action, not just talk. You could also talk to the people around you: at work, at the store, family members, etc. Encourage them to call their reps. If your reps aren’t actively making things worse or letting things get worse by doing nothing but fundraise (so most reps) then see if there are efforts to primary any of them and encourage everyone you know to vote in the primaries too

Like I said, I understand being afraid to go to a protest. I am too. But you have to remember that if we don’t stop Trump and a full blown fascist takeover, then things will be much, much worse and much, much harder to change

It’s the ending me for me lmao. Just that final “I’m not a slut duh” fucking kills me

Jfc read the whole article. Apparently, aside from the sexual harassment and assault, they also taped a woman to a chair and pushed her into an elevator and they were cracking whips in people’s faces??. Absolute sociopath behavior. What the fuck

Same! I like being a woman, and I’m pretty comfortable in my body but… if i could change my sex at will that would be so great for dressing up. Like sometimes I think it’d be cool to be a big barbarian man with like a bare chest and body paint. Or I could wear a really sharp suit

I’ve been playing fantasy life i so much since it released. I loved the 3ds game and waited so long for this sequel and it’s living up to most of my expectations so far, which is nice

I’m also doing a Lae’zel run in Bg3. She jumped up to my favorite so quickly <3

I recently got one of those gba emulator devices so I’ve been doing a firered nuzlight. I just beat Blaine and I’m on my way to kick Giovanni’s ass >:)

Yeah it’s really annoying that people have taken introvert to mean “ultra shy anxious person who hates talking to people” and extroverts to be either “everyone else” or “walks into a room and instantly is friends with everyone, has all their phone numbers, and just finished planning their 5 years of friendship party with them all.” Because people forget that it just differentiates how you recharge your social battery, they often forget that extroverts with social anxiety can and do exist. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of “introverts” are actually just socially anxious extroverts that are suffering bc they don’t really part of why they feel so shit is bc they want to socialize more

So, I’ll be honest, I don’t understand most of the technical stuff about lemmy. I just know it’s open source, no ads/corpos, and all the individual lemmys can interact with each other like how emails can send emails between gmail and yahoo. But what does defederate actually mean? Like how does it change things? Does it mean that people with the @lemmy.one can’t see the privacy instance anymore? And they have to change their account?

Sounds like I have a pretty similar office job and I used to have similar problems with the exhaustion. There’s a few things that really helped I think. The first was to be more active at work. Obviously there’s a limit to what you can do, but don’t pass up any opportunity to get up, walk around, and stretch your legs. If you can take a break/lunch outside then do that. If you have some days where you don’t have too much work to do and it kinda feels like you’re just sitting there with no sense of time, or you’re just watching videos to pass the time, try to find something to do instead. Pick up any trash/misplaced things around the office, reorganize files, have a chat with co workers. This all helps to prevent the exhaustion, I’ve found. Then, when I’m out of work, I try to have non-gaming things to do. Like family dinners on fridays. This helps me feel like I do more than just sit behind a desk all day every day, and it makes it feel like more of a treat when I do sit down to game. I don’t know if these will work for you, but they’re worth a shot if you haven’t tried them I guess

Thank you! This helps a lot bc I was worried I’d have to become a Linux master just to use one of these emulators
