Steam reviews are comedy gold.

I work in a highly automated job so there is plenty of downtime between tasks. We are allowed to use our phones even though officially we are not meant to be. That said, there is plenty of self-productivity activities you could do. You could read books, ebooks or audiobooks, listen to podcasts, watch gym training videos, learn and hone skills in self-learning sites like Udemy or Brilliant, etc. Of course, one could consume brain rot media like Tiktok, Netflix or Instagram to unwind but we all know it’s not productive in the long run.

This is not imploring anyone to do it immediately, but in my case, I do side hustle of day trading and market speculation. While I am doing it, I learn as much as I could with how to trade better and reading the stock market news. I am not rich but I get couple of bucks every now and then. On the luckiest of days, I could earn hundreds within days. That supplements my income. It does not always work of course, I had my “bull run” two months ago but the stock market slowed down and declined even due to uncertainty in the market.

Times New Roman is precisely what Trump admin wants. You know, since the far right has a hard on on the Roman empire.

Me: Maybe in a few MORE DECADES people will wake up!

What Westerners don’t realise is that Facebook’s main audience are people from developing countries. FB provides free and unlimited access to everyone even without internet data. But the actual price? You guessed it.

I don’t make fun of gen alpha for 67, but we have to admit that the meme is a random nonsense. Nyan cat, rage comics and vine clips do have a point which makes them funny, but shouting 67 while doing so without any purpose simply because it’s a meme is inherently pointless. Let the kids have fun with 67 but it is just so random.

That was the original intention of the voting system, but most people don’t read and follow the rules and guidelines, and presume the system is about popularity contest.

I upvote more than downvote. I don’t even downvote trolls and usually reserve the downvotes to obnoxious commentators.

I also think it prevents people from having more meaningful interactions. Rather than replying with 'This was insightful", “I disagree because…” or “that was really funny”

I agree. I see perfectly reasonable comments with hundred of upvotes but with one downvote and it makes me wonder why (maybe that one downvote is being petty for the sake of just having a downvote).

Downvoting is a lazy way to disagree. Back when Reddit was great, the etiquette was to explain why you downvoted and disagree, but spez did away with the guideline.

You just offended my entire gender.

But yes, that’s true and it’s bad that about half are fucking idiots.

Despite the initial backlash, X is still as relevant as ever. Never underestimate the opponent however stupid they may look. They’re the ones in charge, we’re not. This constant “I am smarter than these socially awkward weirdos” is what led to constant electoral defeats and push to fascism. The greatest trick that the devil did is to make people think he’s stupid. At least progressives around the world is learning and using the very same weapon that made the fascists win-- social media.

Yeah the post screams “your dictatorship is bad so we’ll stick with our dictator.”

It sounds paradoxical but a lot of the things we were taught and developed presumptions of from our parents become obsolete. For example, while thrifting never becomes obsolete, simply working hard and saving alone are not enough anymore to enjoy life, buy a house, raise a family and then retire comfortably. This is something that older generations don’t grasp on the frustrations of today’s young adults. This is why it’s important to either have side hustles, or do investing if they can-- anything to supplement the traditional means of income.

The world constantly changes at an exponential rate, but the human mind isn’t evolved to deal with such rapid pace. While some but not all traditional knowledge becomes obsolete, the human capacity to adapt doesn’t.

Problem is if it’s a coworker to whom you’re interested in. A lot of people are hesitant to ask their coworkers for date because of the adage “don’t shit where you eat”.

Not so much as ragebait but unpopular opinion. I think most Lemmy users are highly paid middle class, tech workers who are out of touch with the genuine grievances and feelings of the working class, whose previous manufacturing jobs were outsourced and left with no alternative. They are then left to compete with just as poor immigrants for artificially-induced resource scarcity. And then Lemmings call them ignorant redneck hillbillies without listening to their lived experience. Sure, many former manufacturing blue collar workers could re-skill, but it is easier said than done, since most people find it hard to re-adjust and prefer to stick with their trade.

Now that there is huge lay off of tech workers the past year in preference to cheap immigrant labour, and cost-free AI, many Lemmy users are starting to realise and feel the experience of working class who had been left by globalisation.

I am increasingly becoming socialist. At some point we will all need UBI.

I don’t see much difference between here and Reddit tbh. The major difference,however, is the in-fighting amongst the instances here, namely the tankie instances such as .ml and hexbear versus the rest of the fediverse.

If The Onion is an actually serious journalist website, this will be their type of headline. They’ll fully embrace sensationalist headline without being clickbait.

If a person could not handle being monogamous, and the other could not handle polyamory, they should find partners compatible with their desires instead of cheating on one another.

Consent, mate.

It does not work for most people because they couldn’t handle the jealousy.

A one day old account defending imperial capitalism. Sure you aren’t fascist.

Found a fascist.
