For real. My parents were EXTACTIC when I got into DDR. They were happy to pay for the pads. Making exercise fun is the only way I’ve been able to regularly do it.

It sounds like you have a drastically different experience with exercise than others, to the point that you might want to talk to someone about it? Very few people get as mentally stressed when exercising as you seem to be describing.

Best bad movie of all time. It’s one of a few that are consistently entertaining and never boring. I show it to people at least once a year.

if I fuck it up, it doesn’t spill over into other tasks

Somebody has never accidentally spilled the entire litter box onto the floor.

This is very much just plain mental illness, but if you want to use it to justify being annoyed at all Americans in general, more power to you I guess.

The CD Key written on the CD was a very famous infinite license key that pretty much everyone who had a pirated copy of windows was using. You also used to need to reformat more often for a clean wipe of your computer, so many people got used to entering this specific key.

The number of people I talk to who mindlessly regurgitate the “fact” that “most people are terrible” seems to be going up. Most people don’t act like they think that’s true, but once you really internalize that kind of misanthropy, assuming every interaction will be negative is how you go through the world.

Your assumptions about the world greatly impact how you interact with it, and when you stop looking for anything good, you’ll only see good things when they’re shoved in your face. It’s easy to justify your general malaise because you tell yourself everyone is like that.

Push back when you see it. Remind them that we have a chance to reset, and they don’t have to act the same way here that they did on reddit.

Didn’t Juliette grow up down in maintenance? It might have been long enough to develop a slight different accent…

Hello fellow Longmonster! Nextlight is life!

Turns out you can click the link and find out! It links to a very short Bluesky post! Try it out! Lemmy has more than just headlines!

Obviously the team that won had better people who were praying even harder.

I mean, there are absolutely things that you should do just to improve your approachability. Good hygiene, to start.

Depression is definitely a factor for many people. But the death of 3rd spaces is fairly well documented. The problem is that many people don’t know how to make friends. Friends very rarely happen instantly, they usually are a result of repeated and consistent interactions. Adults rarely seek out situations that would give them those types of interactions outside of work and school.

Sorry, but this sounds exactly like what male privilege is. Assuming that it doesn’t happen near you because you haven’t noticed it.

Ask your female friends what sorts of sexism they genuinely face regularly and I think you’ll learn a lot.

In a weird way, having emotionally available and supportive parents is absolutely a privilege. People are able to develop empathy in spite of bad parents, and good parenting isn’t a guarantee to a good person, but parenting is a major factor for life success. I wish it weren’t, and I hope we can build a society that could guarantee every child full opportunities.

Chess is a war game. Killing and violence in general are devastating. It’d be interesting to compare the brain activity of a murderer with a grandmaster player. I have my suspicions about what we would see.

I’d LOVE a resource like that! I’m sure it exists but I never found it, and it is a silly thing to be hung up on but I just didn’t properly understand the folder structure. I’ve still used Linux plenty but I’m dragging my feet on using it as a daily driver, but I’m VERY close to making the jump.
