One time I didn’t return the cart at Aldi.
I still think about that a decade later.
Because that haunts me I always put the cart back no matter what
For those that don’t know you have to put a quarter in to use a cart and you get it back when you put it away which means there are never stray carts anywhere. People want their money back.
That must mean anon also listens to Luigi
I’m doing my small part.
Went from 100% lurker on Reddit to regularly active lemmy commenter
This is why I don’t update Nvidia drivers unless there’s a fix I need. If it’s stable, that’s all I want.
It’s called the paradox of tolerance. You cannot tolerate intolerance
That you’re here venting about this instead of following through, I consider a win.
I don’t agree with or like suicide at a core level for spiritual reasons but I will always support the right to choice. I support compassionate suicide for terminal cancers and other things because the kindest act is respect their wishes to exit with dignity. Nobody else can know how much you’re suffering except you.
You’re smart enough to know about treatment options, therapy, meds and all that, I just hope you’re taking advantage of it and trying to heal. It’s not easy by any stretch but it does get easier
There’s also Wire
E2EE and can be used as desktop or phone app interchangeably. No phone number required for signup.
Family has been using this for years now
But how do you know if it’s censored 🤔
Right?
Came here to say fake and gay but damn, that last line changes everything
I have family very seriously investigating citizenship to another country via ancestry.
Not like the past election cycles where the losing side bellyaches about moving to Canada or whatever, they’re actually gathering birth certificates and planning a visit to the embassy
Naturally I should qualify for it too but that feels like a very nuclear action
Fuck yeah, vacation to Australia here i come!
I pay for kagi because it’s genuinely less frustrating to use than searxng, duckduckgo, bing, and whatever shit Google is up to these days.
They’re fine search engines but after years of using them I found they annoyed me sometimes; their limitations will surface if you use them long enough. In contrast, I haven’t ran into a kagi search results page yet that has annoyed me by not finding what I expected to see.
The problem is that Google was good for a long time and then that became the bar everything is measured against. None of the free ones I tried came as close to that Google-like search from the before times as this paid service does.
I wouldn’t last long if I tried for a daily regimen, I’d fail so hard by maybe Saturday of week 1
For me, it’s 1-2 times a week for 3-6 mile day hikes. Gives me something to look forward to later which is important because it’s mildly addictive to get out and away from concrete and people. I savor it more when structured like that and it’s easier to keep the habit going.
Not to say one habit is better or whatever. But maybe if daily isn’t sustainable for you, mix it up
If the roads are okay to drive, definitely going out for a hike today. It keeps me sane
I like to live dangerously
Same principle of going in for the belly rub on my cat.
The risk is worth the reward
I think you’re overestimating the influence of doomscrolling, internet and politics in the scope of needing meds to feel baseline, but it definitely plays a part.
Those things, broadly speaking, are somewhat transient unless said politics directly affect your safety or rights to live life, or of those you care about. This applies to a lot of people.
Now I’m retired at age 55. My house is paid off. I have no debt. Live in a beautiful mountain city of 500,000 people. I have chickens in my backyard
now I just fuck around on Lemmy all day, write and publish my fiction, and take trips with my gf.
This is more in line with why many in my cohort are struggling. Your situation is out of reach for most of us now because of a whole lot of economic reasons outside of our control. The singular person being able to side hustle their way to a house with backyard chickens and money for vacations is a win no doubt, but also the exception to the rule.
Lifting our noses off the grindstone and looking at the horizon shows a future without hope of any of this changing. Too much stacked against us.
And for lots of other long term reasons. One off the top of my head, the microplastics accumulating in our bodies. That’s definitely going to be a problem.
My point is that a lot of people would be well served by not worrying so fucking much about the state of politics and the world at large
The cliff notes version is that people are surviving, not living. You are living.
You should enjoy the fruits of your labor, truly. Just be aware your path isn’t one we can follow anymore
Would also be a significant cost savings for Apple since they won’t have to pay for the exorbitant development costs that I’m sure are factored into the price of American based ai.
Still don’t want ai anywhere near phones though. Way too much personal data at risk
It’s worse than that. I shoved it up on the curb and left. Like you see at any other store.
