3 days agoI don’t, but it’s mostly because I don’t want much/consumption is not fulfilling for me. My wife is somewhere in the middle, even if she enjoys new things way more than me, but we’re financially privileged all in all so we’re alright.

You’re lost in lust and you don’t know much. Now you’re thinking aloud, falling out of touch. You gotta get back on your feet, and be eager to be what she’s wanting.
Wise and kind! It’s an eternal WIP but there have definitely been some developments, especially regarding my mental health and ideology/understandings, and overall maturity… I think my neurodivergence, combined with childhood trauma, created some hills I had to climb, and it has also shaped me irreversibly, but I find I have enough free will to make accumulating changes.
My family and friends often come to me either to have a shoulder to cry on or for advice, even my co-workers (some of them are my friends now as well) will open up, expecting what my vibes are selling, I guess, and I always find it endearing (couple of times it’s been shocking and kinda made me panic as in “what do I say here?!” but that’s how it goes sometimes). I think people find me at least reliable and understanding (which does not discount me being weird AF in some areas,sometimes annoying or even, rarely, hurtful, and that’s the whole package), which is not bad already.
It changes things! Sometimes the mouth area is still a bit funky and it’s not the teeth you’ve just brushed but the unclean tongue that’s the issue.
Man, if you’re in the West, you’ve known people who can barely speak the language and still work full time or more and their kids are in school, have a roof over their heads and are eating well. They might not have the latest iPhone or go to Bali but still. It’s usually mental health issues (addictions included) or straight up selfishness what stops people from caring and providing for their children, from what I’ve seen.
Nobody told me you were supposed to scrape/scrub your tongue when brushing your teeth… and nobody told me about washcloths either. 🫣 My wife put me on to that about a decade ago (so, in my early twenties) so by now it’s just part of my life but yeah…
Do you really believe a degree is the main thing stopping heads of states from acting in the service of others instead of themselves?
It is what it is, and it’s not surprising seeing the societies and communities that populate it. Interacting with shallow, childish, intellectually limited Lemmings is already a headache, Instagram (unless heavily curated, I guess) would give me an aneurysm.
I remember when Facebook came out and I was in HS, and some of my girl friends got into the annoying habit of posting a selfie with some seemingly profound but completely disconnected quote. I remember thinking how vain and self obsessed they were, but more than that, how boring they were. I’ve already seen your face, you’ve already seen your face, there’s no more information to be extracted here, how is this not boring to you as well? How come you can’t see how extremely pointless and narcissistic this is? And if your life revolves around this, haven’t you made your life pointless as well? This was almost two decades ago, I never thought it would become this bad but here we are. 😭
A deep interpersonal relationship, one that finally shifts the focus from one’s self-centeredness and hedonistic desires to caring about someone else, to prioritising the other. As sad as it is to say (because not everyone gets to it), I don’t think you can be a proper mature adult without it, you’ll just be a selfish, shallow child with no patience for the other. So, taking care of a gf/wife and taking care of your children obviously belong to this category, as well as being a devoted caregiver in general.
In vino veritas and all of that. If you’re really really drunk, you just puke and pass out, everything before that is the product of one’s personality without much restraint.
I just don’t. 🥲
But just like you, after trying out different positions and spending 10-15 mins trying unsuccessfully to fall asleep, I just start living. What choice do I have? I even go to the gym mostly to help with my digestive issues and insomnia but even then, more often than not, the latter remains a problem. I know eventually I will crash and get some sleep whether my brain wants it or not so 🤷♂️. Not ideal but hey, at least I’m really squeezing the juice out of life!
Sounds like post-modern Western BS. Altruism/prosociality/solidarity are already words, the “effective” just makes it sound like something a scammer would say.
Some people are easily overstimulated and others are highly unstimulated by default. 🤷♂️ I could never write an essay, for example, without a good playlist in the background!
Depending on mood and activity, it’ll be either Red Letter Media or The Exploring Series. They’re both somewhat popular on YT and have consistent release rates. 👍
Lemmy is enough for me! Nowhere is perfect but there’s a good balance here, and there are more uhh politically prosocial folks here compared to Reddit so I can’t complain too much. 👍
I haven’t even checked the other fediverse offers, but I assume they’re also better (at least “vibe” wise) than the more popular and problematic alternatives.
Fair, but maybe what I said still stands. I rarely run into any actual “tankie”/auth left content (usually just complaints about them!), maybe I’d have to see where you’ve been to understand your possibly valid complaints, I’d have to see it personally.
I watched The Sixth Sense with my family when I was 6 or 7 (hehe) late at night and the lights went out shortly after so I just had to rawdawg the rest of the night, no Cartoon Network, no Nickelodeon, just me and my thoughts. I don’t think I have been that spooked since, lol.
Not the hyper-auth-left! 🙄
Unironically, if you have a Reddit account and you just wanna have a lil’ laugh without being too critical of the genocidal settler colony turned global hegemon called the USA, you can find like-minded people there. They kinda banned all the “troublemakers”, so don’t be surprised to find them here!
They usually don’t have anything interesting or meaningful to say, so they gotta have the big mic to at least give the illusion that they do? If they’re boring/insipid/uninspired, at least they have good equipment?
