You should contribute to [email protected] where your perspective will be heard and validated.
admittedly I’ve been watching a lot of Mexican telenovelas recently… but I think the point is valid!
wait, this is really you? fam, this isn’t mildly infuriating, this is massively worrying. you need to get your friends together and have an intervention with your sister – especially if Hamza’s likely to disappear when your sister inevitably gets pregnant. Besides, if he’s gaslighting her about this, who knows what other kind of emotional abuse he’s doing to her.
I subscribe to non-news, non-politics, and non-tech communities only. My front page is great and I can browse “new” and “subscribed” for several hours a day. If I do run out, only then do I look at “all”.
Job hunting is so fucking demoralizing.
Hang in there, fam! When you get that first job offer it’ll be worth it.
Sometimes hard refresh wasn’t enough and I had to actually quit firefox (which also cleared cookies) and try again. Doesn’t happen too often tho.
So don’t leave us hanging… which is the real download?
Hey if you’re trolling you should check out the [email protected] community, I think you’d like it.
This sounds like the beginning of a telenovela or a “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” episode.
I disagree, but your post is thoughtful. I’ll just point out:
Only fools at the bottom fail to see the social classes and caste systems in all societies.
In my country, people of all classes fail to see the social classes.
Hey! Did you make it there OK? Have you learned to play cricket yet?
And NOT having a smartphone will be even more suspicious… “What are you trying to hide? you must have a smartphone hidden somewhere… where is it?”
This is the kind of dad joke we need more of.
Well, I agree that we should collectively move away from plastic crap, so let’s hope that happens.

The contradiction is that if you buy a new object every time you do end up with lots of objects sitting in your cellar or attic looking like a dumpster. And nobody’s keeping a checkerboard for a century – your heirs will just throw it in a landfill.
If you make something yourself, at least you spent some time constructing it during which you learn something and keep your mind active. Ideally you use things you have laying around the house and when you’re done the thing can be re-used for a future project or recycled. And every once in a while you make something that’s a little different and you have something new.
But if it makes you feel any better, your side is winning. People are indeed buying Super Soakers instead of just using a hose. And to convince them, there are ads everywhere.
You know, I can look up the definitions of HSA and FSA and things like that, and I can have the definitions right there in a document on my screen, but they still don’t make any sense to me in terms of how they relate to me specifically. A lot of times they seem like they depend on me predicting things in the future that are unknowable, like my future health or how and where I will be billed for something. And that’s assuming I also look up related terms like APY and deductible and figure out what those mean. If I ask any HR people they’re like “just contact the provider for an explanation” and I’m like yeah, I totally want to deal with the phone menus and hold times of some faceless corporation, just to have them pull some BS like OP’s talking about.
Sorry about the rant. I guess that’s what I find mildly infuriating.
I admit that while I know that many people like being in big cities, I don’t really understand why. The tourist attractions presumably get boring quickly even if they were interesting at first, and after that what’s left?
Every week something interesting’s happening. Concerts, sports events, art shows, book readings, parades, festivals, etc … usually multiple things per weekend and a couple during the weekdays. Then there are restaurants and cafes of all types to discover, crafts stores and bookstores and markets, clubs and meetups and demonstrations and celebrations. I’m an asocial shut-in who spends all his time on Lemmy but I still was really into wandering around town (yes, using mass transit) and just… coming across unique stores or organizations that were in a historical building and were randomly having an open-house and it turns out that it’s Armenian Heritage Week or something.
I’m not trying to change your mind. I’m just saying what I find good about it. Where I live now there are only 1 or 2 interesting things happening per month.
Fam, I felt kind of bad that your honest feedback about the new congestion toll has been downvoted so much. And if you truly found nothing in Boston (and presumably Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Allston, etc.) that interested you then… OK, I can respect people’s differences. And if you say walking to work through Manhattan would somehow be bad, and that the only reason you live there is to be close to work… sure, there are people like that, I get it.
But I think your situation is kind of like living in Hawaii and then saying it’s unfair that you can’t just drive to the mainland.
you can use kbin.earth (and presumably mbin?) to see the upvotes, even if you don’t have an account there. e.g.:
