and then they’ll go to another billionaire oligarch funded no-kings march to “protest” it.

this is what people should expect.

good to know; i moved away 15 years ago and just assumed smartphones had made everyone’s public awareness take a nose dive.

that’s literally the excuse that the democrat used this last time too. lol

the redditors dominated all of lemmy’s popular communities (especially asklemmy) and i recommended a different instance so you can see the unpopular communities that don’t include their toxicity.

if you’re more toxic then them, then you might want to stay where you are.

as a non-american you can be forgiven for not knowing that democrats have been doing this for the last half century.

there are technically several parties, but effectively only 2; republicans (like trump) and democrats. every time that there has been a political impass between the two parties for the last 50 years, the democrats have ignored their voters like this and sided with the republicans.

on my first day of living in new york; i was carrying my worldly possessions in a trio of jumbo suitcases and i was having difficulty carrying them up the subway stairs to the street and blocking the path for everyone else. two people – wordlessly and zero eye contact – each took a suitcase out of my hand and carried it up to the top of the stairs, dropped them off where i can resume rolling them and walked away.

not a single “let me help you” or “do you need some help?”; they saw the situation and decided that helping me would help everyone else and simply did it.

this was before smartphones became a thing so i doubt that this could still happen because people’s faces are too buried in screens to notice others anymore.

long live the wolf!

you’re on one of the instances that took in the most fleeing redditors and they brought their petty & hateful toxicity with them; i strongly recommend changing instances if you want to get away from most of it.

there are so many on this subject and i imagine that the climate collapse that the western world is racing towards is going to cause another collapse like it.

the number of downvotes should give you your answer; it’s propaganda coupled with natural human misery that makes trying to help others such a difficult task.

i pursue the activities with the highest dopamine reward built in on a regular basis.

it turns out that it also accdentally forces me to check out of all media for the entire weekend and i’m okay with that.

i don’t remember exactly, but i know it was less than the laptop that i’m using to write this (64gigs).

this was back in during the original pentium days when 16 megabytes of ram (not gigabytes) was considered decent.

i do scaled to find the niche content i used to get from reddit.

it sounds like the gateway(s) are misconfigured

i was a software engineer for a couple years and every few months i had to talk to subject matter experts that were real assholes, but always helpful.

leaning how to deal with people jordan can help you in the future.

i was a systems administrator back in the 1990’s and i remember holding $40,000 worth of RAM in my right hand; somehow we’ve gone back to those days again.

no imagination needed for self evident facts.

it’s fast food for me and i’ve on/off the vegan wagon for the last 30is years because of layoffs.
