Too late for me, but here is another gem from a few hours ago:
Biden and his family steal Millions and Millions of Dollars, including BRIBES from foreign countries, and I’m headed to D.C. to be ARRESTED for protesting a CROOKED ELECTION. UNFAIR VENUE, UNFAIR JUDGE. We are a Nation in Decline. MAGA!!!
Like dude you steal from contractors DIRECTLY among many other things. Lot of apathetic, frustrated, and hateful people with zero sense of self awareness to delude into thinking this guy is actually on their side. It never ceases to be surreal.
The worst part is that there is a tiny kernel of truth in it. The entire system IS corruption itself. It's just this guy happens to be a few flavors of mentally ill, and overt in his dealings. DT Era will he considered the inflection point for wherever we end up as a country. That's super pathetic and depressing af.
Wow well said. It's really a pitiable state. I wouldn't wish the DT perspective on anyone, ever. It's an indictment on us and our whole thing that he got this much pull in the first place. Your last paragraph sums it up.
For me, it was the year I turned 22. At that point I was older than both parents when they had me. I realized how incompetent i was, and how little life I had lived, completely incapable of raising a human. My parents sacrificed a shit load just for me to be alive, and did their best in the time they were born into, and all the external forces at work on a young mind, and the choices at hand. I still don't have kids lol.
This answer resonates. I am not nearly as detail oriented as I'd like to be on most topics, even though I can feel their placement, and reasoning. Alot of stuff I read everyday is brand new to me tbh and I really don't know shit outside of a very few small areas, with a side of some basic human behavior through my experience. I guess that's why we come together (: all pieces of the whole.
My view from my window(they gave me one of the big rooms all by myself, the only one with windows, ptsd i think) was OK. Middle of nowhere farm and small Appalachian Mt chain. We had to sneak onto a ps3 to use youtube lol. One night i was watching lighting rolling around the sky and hills thru my big window, laying on my back, reflecting off the ceiling. I cried so hard, it was beautiful.
The rehab sucked. It really did. But I had so much fun. They tried to take our communal volleyball game over some bullshit and we flipped shit and got everyone riled up. We kept our fkn volleyball. ..it was a state run rehab with everyone fresh out of jail. Never laughed so hard in my life.
I'm almost 1.5 years clean from a decade+ run on fent and benzos. Wouldn't trade my experiences for the world, but I'm glad I'm myself now. Things are still fucked up, and they'll always be for me, but I'm working on it..
It really is whatever you want it to be. Make it for yourself. <3
I had this exact thought right before I scrolled to it. Depending on my brain, I can either lay and go dead sleep, or if I'm racing ill pick up the phone or whatever. I just took my blind cat out to chase moths and I'm not in the mood to sleep. Maybe in a few min. -lemmy addiction
I'd never opt for it unless i couldnt function without it, and I sure don't wanna live forever in a computer, or at all. The potential for abuse is astronomical. Let's hope we have fought for a massive shift in consciousness before this comes to full fruition, right?
I'm in the US, and I just started going to the doc in my whole adult life. My arms are bricked up, tingling, and spasms. Doc says it's carpal tunnel, which checks out. I can't afford anything beyond my general care atp. Apparently I'll need surgery and physical therapy asap, I work with my hand in the trades. I'd be screwed without them as I have zero savings, etc. The doc gave me referrals with nowhere to go. I asked and they said "well your insurance is tricky, find somewhere". Lovely!
I understand that this is the place and times I exist in, but hell if I can't bitch about it (:
Judging by your username, and some of the context, you seem similar to me. These people are right. Go, and stay on top of it. I put off my health my entire life and now I am hurting. Life may be suffering, but it's worth it ime, and it's worth the fight to make it better. I hope you find something worthwhile to crawl out of that hole for. Sorry I don't mean to intrude, I'm just super empathetic to your situation, went through it bad, and I'm just crawling out of the dark tunnel now, in my 30s. (:
I've liked lemmy just the way it is from the beginning. I don't expect it to stay as intimate with this vibe of solidarity and critical thinking, but I'm enjoying the ride. I have always preferred smaller communities in every facet of my life. Small friend groups, small classroom, etc. Once you hit a certain number, things go off the rails fairly quickly ime. But in the end, if we can grow, and keep this same kinda culture moving forward? Imagine that, people coming together for common good.
It's crazy how it ended up, from an archaic and universal tale to a pigeon holed idealogy. I guess it's not crazy when you consider power struggles. It does need to go. People need to tune into themselves a bit more, and realize that's the only heaven there is, and way more than good enough. The world would be better for it. Evolution is such a drag, but we'll get there eventually. All we can do is push the boundaries and hope for tomorrow.
I would like to thank everyone on here for the last two months or whatever it's been from the start of the migration, and to the people just coming over, and those who were here already. I actually feel like I've grown as an individual in my time here. I'm starting to see certain patterns in my own behavior and working on them thanks to the content and the engaging discussions on here. I used to avoid interaction and lost all hope, but you are all really awesome. Thank you <3
