I have noticed a trend that social media is not about being social anymore but I’d more about the “media”
Its a place to consume media or generate it but interaction with it has become more limited. You can like it, or buy something from it or move on.
Nothing ever happens, right?
When I have a thought that I want to post outside of a shower I make sure to jump in and see if it survives to keep thinking about while waterboarding myself.
Oh look at you, having the energy to not lose yourself to the void for endless amounts of time in the last place free of electronics
Oh I was just asking cause you seemed like you had something more recent.
Yeah? What has she been wanting?
I have a thought for how much a trust any politician.
And its that if they hear the government is full of corruption and back alley deals of no work or hard work and is excited about joining.
Well then they probably arent going to do much to actually make it better for me, compared to what they are thinking about for themself.
But hey, eventually got to do something about it and even if that means finding someone who doesnt want to burn alive even if it is selfish cause at least they might help.
There have absolutely been consequences for their actions. Its just that people dont get “what they deserve” they just get what they get. The universe doesnt balance automatically for your idea of morals. Us humans are special cause we can enact consequences that the universe didnt. Hopefully we get there for them but that will be on those that can when we can. This isnt the time for getting lost to it.
I also wouldnt really want to help put her out if she was on fire. But if she grabs a fire extinguisher and starts helping put out the raging world ending fire… I won’t tell her to stop or push her away until it is out.
At least we know what she is doing for now
Yeah, its honestly truly an awful thing that has happened to us that there can only be one example of a genre at a time.
Wait you mean like being on a mortgage but not having title on the deed or land? Cause that is also a thing.
Literally just look at the standard mobile home park.
He said once before before he liked the idea of a toll and would work out his cut. He just really doesnt want to lose even if that means robbing the people he “saved”
Well I mean it could be turtles all the way down.
But yeah isnt it wild that everything is basically in a suspended net with each other and that each little vibration technically impacts the whole thing even if it is so small it is hard to notice? We are all trapped in here together, even the planets and stars we see. Holding onto each other as much as they can to not just drift apart.
Yeah exactly. We both exist. And we all have to get used to seeing bottom feeders everywhere we look. Cause here you are.
Because I am a part of the world and an avatar to enact its will.
Which means, yeah I’m just another person you have to deal with. The fact that I can is why you have to deal with it.
Its weak and completely anti life to hide from all others for your existence. You might as well not at that rate. Existence is in observation. If you want nobody to observe you existing then you really aren’t living.
A life of no challenges and learning or differing opinions doesnt exist. Even rocks have to accept the opinion of rain.
LOL no. You dont just let an insane person run around wielding a knife cause they want to.
Saying its ok to want to only hear exactly what you want is not how existence works and you will crash against actual reality when it doesnt care to live up to the expectations of online.
That is not the point of Lemmy.
I’m so tired of people thinking the point of social media is to create a personalized echo chamber.
You are one of the only people to give me a link and resource to actually use. I am not against learning something but I dont give a fuck about upvotes.
I can’t control the reaction but I can hate that most people didnt actually interact with more than looking for a feeling of superiority. If that’s the only emotion they want then I dont want to participate.
Is it fun though?
Mostly, its just reminding me why no one should be on Lemmy, except for those quarantined here.
Yup, occasionally it is really good but every now and again you smoke something so horrendous you wonder how someone grew that on purpose, but also sometimes you find a seed that makes you think about growing something yourself and seeing how it goes.
