Oh. My. God…

So what you’re saying is, I need to dip myself in egg and then get fried? Will that finally get my parents to be proud of me?

What is my purpose?

As someone that likes booze a little to much, drinking helps me fall asleep easily but I personally feel much more tired when I drink. Outside of actually being able to fall asleep fast (fuck insomnia) the quality of my sleep is much worse.

I’ve been vaping for 7 years and I’ve literally never heard a single person IRL or on the internet call it “vape oil”. It’s vape juice.

Ain’t that the truth. Social media is one of the worst things for humanity, instead of every “village idiot” being shunned as they deserve, now they can all find each other online and circlejerk about how they know “the real truth” and everyone else is just “blind to reality” as if they knew any better.

The worst thing about stupid people is that they’re to stupid to know they’re stupid. Anyone with a shred of intelligence knows there’s a ton of things they don’t understand and leave it to people that actually put in the time and effort to become knowledgeable about their particular field of knowledge.

But no the dumb fucks of the world think a google search and reading a few blog posts, a few facebook posts, and a few youtube videos is equivalent to being able to write and understand a scientific paper.

That’s an awful lots of words just to say “I’m a dumb fuck”

I’m in northern Canada, we got about a week of 30C weather and I had a fan pointed at me 24/7 and took cold showers every few hours to stay sane. Crazy how everyone acclimates to different temperatures across the world.

Thanks friend, I appreciate the sentiment and I wish the best for you as well!

No. I drink every other day at least (not wasted, but a good buzz), I have no friends anymore cause they’ve all got familes and responsibilities, or they’ve left the frozen wasteland that is northern Canada. I’m 30 and I live with my mom and brother cause she works part time and couldn’t afford to live on her own, and I couldn’t afford to live on my own either even though I make $22 an hour, which also means no decent woman would consider coming anywhere near me. My mom is amazing but it fucking sucks being a 30 year old man and having a room right across from her.

My rent went from 1800 in 2017-2022 for a 3 bedroom to 3 fucking grand for a much worse 3 bedroom because we got renovicted from our old place. The new landlord is basically a slum lord, no doorknob on the downstairs bathroom, no heat in my room, no fan and mold growing in the upstairs bathroom, toilets that clog constantly, shit insolation in a city that can get as cold as - 40C during the dead of winter, no door at all on my brothers room, lots of garbage left in the backyard from the previous tenant that was supposed to be removed by the landlord within a week of moving in (now a year and a half later) and a shit local government that just a month ago gave subsidies to landlords as an apology for rent control being implemented.

On top of that it feels like the world is moving increasingly towards fucking people near the bottom of society like me more and more as I get older. I have basically no hope left. I work my ass off at every job I have, rarely it pays off with promotions and small raises, but I’ve yet to get a truly good increase that raises my standard of life significantly. I try my best, I truly do. One of the few things I can be proud of is that I’m consistently known as a great worker, but it’s a roll of the dice whether you’re gonna get a boss that values that or just tries to take advantage of your work ethic. Feels like no matter how hard I try, I can’t move forward. I get a better job with more money? Oh rent has massively gone up, groceries and gas have gone up, fucking everything has gone up in price. I get more money and every fucking greedy piece of shit has their hands out demanding more money for the essentials of life so I just languish in permenant fucking mediocrity.

I’ve gained 30 lbs over the last year due to drinking and depression, I built an awesome new pc last year but I barely use it for more than watching videos cause nothing gives me joy anymore. I used to at least be able to get some amount of joy out of playing games, but now nothing makes me happy. I literally wish I could get cancer so that I can die free of guilt. I’m not suicidal, I could never do that to my parents and brother. But every day I wish something would happen that takes me out of my miserable existence. I hate the world and I hate my pathetic fucking life.

“what’s the point of introducing new taxes against the rich? They’ll just find ways to avoid it so let’s just not do anything that might harm their profit margins or else it’ll make the poor even poorer”

Then wtf is the solution? Everybody says this whenever higher taxes for corporations and the rich is brought up, that they’ll just find new ways to avoid touching their precious profits. Should everyone just collectively do nothing because “they’ll find ways to avoid it so why bother”

This defeatist attitude pisses me off, something needs to be done to curb this bullshit. Literally no one needs or deserves hundreds of millions, let alone billions of dollars, and this cancerous “profits must go up every year or your company is a failure” needs to fucking die already. Why do companies making hundreds of millions to billions of dollars in profit need more fucking money? Why can’t being rich af and literally not being able to spend your net worth in a single lifetime be enough?

We went from 1 salary at a factory being enough to raise a family, buy a house, buy a car, and go for a yearly vacation being normal to even 2 highly educated people working together and sharing expenses barely being able to afford a fucking house. Now the average person is expected to give a giant portion of their monthly earnings to pay off some parasitic landlords mortgage plus some profit for the “trouble” of being a fucking parasite.

Eat the fucking rich. Enough is enough.

Doesn’t that make your neck sore? I’ve used thin pillows all my life, whenever I use a pillow when travelling (hotel, someone else’s house etc) it’s ALWAYS to thick. I can’t imagine stacking two pillows on top of each other.

Man the worst part of lemmy is all the absolutely brain dead China apologists, you people are a cancer spreading bullshit propaganda. Fuck off loser.

Let the dark side Expanse flow through you

!Like a fuckin Valkyrie!< 😭

I would prefer at least 10 episode seasons, but I’d take anything at this point. The last 3 books were the best of them all, and that’s with the first 6 being absolutely amazing as well.

Greatest series ever, I will die on that hill.

Aww c’mon man, like the lower deckers don’t have enough “foreign material” to clean up from the holodecks filters!

Won’t someone think of the lower deckers?!?

Why is that if I may ask? I’ve gone from the nexus 4 - nexus 6p - pixel 2 - galaxy s10(fuck samsung, never again) - pixel 6. I’m happy enough with my pixel 6, it’s not amazing but I don’t really have any complaints about it either. I’m planning to use it until it either gets to slow for my liking or the battery goes to shit, whichever comes first.
