I can be controversial or annoying because I always require proof and facts for whatever people are saying/claiming. This has gotten me into a lot of heated debates, even got myself banned from “YouShouldKnow” for saying I need more proof of Israeli’s genocide (that was long ago, got more proof and changed my mind). If I do not agree on some subjectively obvious topic, please do not assume I’m being unfriendly, evil or a troll. I do try my best to approach any subject with neutral and open mind. Just call me autistic with OCD

  • Let me put it like this. Our gas price is around $8 per gallon. Our average wages are almost 3x lower. Government feels like a circus, our prime minister even recently stepped down. There’s lingering threat of an invasion.

    Life’s good. Sure, I can’t travel the world or buy expensive cars, but that’s normal. Not too long ago majority could not afford more than a bed and few accessories, including in US. Can you imagine the world where everyone could fulfill their presumably capitalist dreams of being rich? What would be the consequences of mass consumerism and manufacturing?

    Feels like you have lived in the golden age for so long you forgot how it’s like to be normal. Enjoy what you have and stop stressing over shit you can’t change.

    I meant that about people who are constantly grumpy and angry, people whose entire online activity is expressing hate and anger. I meant half of lemmy. I’ve noticed this platform is quite depressing in comparison to others. You could say “more politically active”, but your hate means nothing when it’s echoed in a bubble and eventually it becomes tiresome to others.

    This meme is literally threatening to beat someone up for being happy. Jokingly of course, but still. Wake up, lemminos.


  • Do I get to stress because my TV is selling summaries of my living room conversations to the GOP?

    Why did you buy a trojan horse in the first place?

    Do I get to stress because climate change has moved tornado alley into my county at the same time we’re destroying our ability to predict the weather?

    I mean…no? Just be ready for it. Make sure your basement is ok, you got food and water reserves. Imagine stressing all your life about possible tornato hitting your location. Probably would live by 20 years less. I’m living under an threat of invasion by a much larger power, and even I don’t stress about that. Got bags ready and set to jump ship if something happens.

    Y’all need some digital detox. Especially if you’re the type of person who ruins his own mood and causes stress about things that will never, ever affect you and are going on at the opposite side of the world.

    EDIT: Lemmy, please get your shit together. Digital detox means changing what you do online. Quitting social media, no longer reading news that are mostly just negative, etc. and not your daily responsibilities, higher gas bills or your kid doing something bad - that’s not digital. Completely different things.

    My point was that modern humans relatively consume so much negative shit daily that it starts to consume us. Objectively we are living in one of the best times in human history, yet are borderline the unhappiest. Science has also repeatedly proven the positive benefits of digital detox (especially no longer using social media like Facebook)

    EDIT2: you people are weak. Now downvote me harder, daddy
