  • I really needed to read this. Thank you.

    I got so worked up today over someone calling restaurant work “entry level jobs for teenagers that don’t deserve 15 an hour” that I almost had an aneurysm.

    I’m just looking away as much as possible. This world belongs to the idiots too and there’s nothing I can do about it.

    Thank you for the comment. You woke up some peace in my heart.




  • Haha, demons. Good god, my hillbilly family loves to blame the poor old demons.

    If you’re gay there’s a demon in your peepee, rectal cancer there’s a demon in your butt. If you’re broke there must be demons in your wallet, If you’re hungry, there’s a demon in your gut. Tooth decay? You must have licked yourself a demon. Mental breakdown? Demons making you a nut! Every day we’re out here fighting all these demons, at night the sleep paralysis demons fight us!

    Demons, demons, demons. Can’t get an erection? Must be a demon in your semen! Visit your local faith healin’, money stealin’, shandra maw hyba maw heep ahbba makoyata dahba sheenda tongue talkin’ preacher tuhday!




  • This is me on many topics. I am so uninformed over the last year.

    I love Lemmy, but I’m in a smaller bubble than I was before too. There are a lot less political opinions on here. People are outright hostile to anything that doesn’t fit in a narrow window, and though I mostly agree with what passes through that window, my idea of the world is off because of it. (Example, my wife uses Facebook. We both voted for Harris, but she was certain Trump would win. She was seeing what everyone was saying and I wasn’t. Imagine my surprise when she lost the election so terribly. My little bubble had me convinced he didn’t stand a chance.)

    I try occasionally to open Reddit. I know that Lemmy hates stock traders, but Reddit is where you get the best info on that. I’m a stay at home dad who contributes entirely by trading so I need to look at what people are researching from time to time.

    I just can’t stand the Reddit app. I can’t stand clicking on ads without realizing it because of how they blend it in.

    I can’t stand the kind of greed that led to the decision that killed third party apps.

    I miss it, but not bad enough to have a subpar experience on there. That, and I believe in a federated social media future. Tech companies are garbage.
