I’m definitely a recent convert. I hate Windows 11 and all the various features it shoves down my throat these days. I bought a steam deck and ended up dabbling in the desktop mode enough to realize the learning process will be mostly fun for me. I’m mostly gaming these days anyway. I don’t use the computers I have at home for much more than that.

I said that Trump better watch out for dancing girls in metal bikinis trying to strangle him with their chains.

Honestly, the longer I have been away from it, the more dumb it seems. So I don’t care. I can still read it, and I do - mostly to look for hardware related computer information from people who know more than me.

Im in the medical field and have already spotted several posts giving incorrect medical advice that I now can’t correct. It used to be my thing. Its a shame the admins don’t concentrate on that kind of harmful misinformation, but whatever.

Nice scarf

No…they’re much dirtier than that, apparently, although it’s difficult to know for sure. There are many results in Google if you look for methods, and sometimes people in the biz chime in with some good answers, but it’s still mostly speculation.

Yeah. “Reddit admin” is the 5th Cluster B personality disorder. Its like when you’re young and the guy in class with the most prominent Adam’s apple gets put in charge while the teacher takes a piss.

Wait! I didn’t know this. If I use a VPN can I simply download the Euro version? I don’t mind paying for it.

Edit: I’m i dumbass. You simply select the location on install. How stupid is that? Why does nobody tell me these things?

Yep. This was me. I followed the android Sync app here. User-created content should not be monetized. Im not going to subscribe to something that’s mostly memes, attention-seeking behavior, and bullshit.

I had hated reddit for ages. Many trigger-happy omniscient mods who couldn’t admit to a mistake if it swam up their arse and blew a trumpet. I was eventually perma-banned for glorifying violence by making a Star Wars reference about Trump. I can only assume the mod wasn’t old enough to remember Star Wars movies.

I had been there from the bright and cheerful early days and watched it become 99.8% trash.

Lemmy has hit the rewind button for me. It kinda sucks that so many people are trying to emulate what modern reddit had become, but it still feels refreshing. With a bit of luck, Lemmy will go in a direction I prefer. It’s not that I don’t want people to do whatever they want, but i feel like some instances will cater to certain demographics.

Amazing nostalgia. I can’t remember how to do it!

This is the one. It’s a perfect relaxation show.

I don’t think that’s WHY it’s stigmatised. It had to be stigmatized before that to be applied to selfish people.

It’s a disorder that is harmful to others and difficult to understand. For others to cope with it requires navigating a complex network of negative behaviors. Manipulation and lack of empathy are the traits of a psychopath, and none of us want that.

The OP lacks empathy but evidentally desires it from others. If you understand why you need empathy, then you understand why lack of empathy is stigmatised.

Three-ish years. We live in different countries, and covid happened.

It was a joke. I originally wrote Spanish Inquisition, but thought it was funnier to call it the Reddit Inquisition. Sorry for my buttholiness.

You may be right, but it was a quick and dirty way of making my point. I didn’t expect the Reddit Inquisition to be here yet.

Doing the least amount possible to keep a job puts pressure on coworkers to take up the slack. I work in an ER, not an office. When someone is in the bathroom texting, more than they are out on the floor helping its shitty, yes.

My coworker has that kind of sense of humor where he always says the obvious joke you’re hoping nobody will make. Then he laughs, and for some reason, everyone else does.

Also, whenever he helps someone and they thank him, he says, “That will be 10 dollars,” and then laughs about his joke.

The reason i hate it is this: He’s a lazy, quiet-quitting asshole who everyone likes. I, on the other hand, work my butt off. I appreciate a witty, clever sense of humor. However, I’m socially awkward, so nobody likes me!

Is the word “wrong” spelled “wrong” or “rongue”?

I defend myself with a tiger and feed it highschool kids. Statistically, I’m an insignificant lunatic.

I too was permabanned for inciting violence. I suggested Princess Leia should strangle Trump with her chain. Is this a new thing maybe? The story is common.

I like Lemmy. It reminds me of early reddit. For me, it’s a shame to watch it slowly bring more of the dumb junk I didn’t like into the mix. It’s inevitable, I guess, but the memes and reddit culture are bleeding out of their containers and into the other sections. Im seeing more balanced views and it’s kind of nice to read intelligent posts from people I disagree with rather than the mudslinging from common reddit views. There’s safety in numbers, and people know what is reddit-popular to say. Opposing views are buried there.

The America of Idiocracy was waaaay better than what we’re going to get. I remember joking about how we were heading that way. Little did I know how quickly it would be so much worse.

Im in my 50’s. I feel so bad for my parents. So many good things have happened in their lifetimes, only for their twilight years to turn into non-stop devastating disappointment and the relentless reversal of so much progress.
