Not really. It’s kinda like asking what will we ever do if something happens in outer space that’ll mean the end of our earth and all of the combined wealth of rich people can do anything to help it (they’ll hoard it all anyways and think they’ll see their money afterwards).

Things that have a beginning, have an end, that’s life in general. You live it. You do what you can in it, try not to be the most worst individual and whatnot. The sad part of it all is not being able to carry over everything you’ve learned and those you’ve known. Then again, it won’t matter at all in the next life you’ll be in because everyone you’ve known is long gone into their next journey wherever and whomever.

But as for the positive legacy? Well, the only way we’ll ever do that is if we’re in positions of power, have all the wealth or born well-known with unmatched charisma. It’s just a damn shame we live in a timeline where all of that is horribly misused and abused.

The Hivemind Complexity.

I say that because it is a collective process that exist in a large amount of online communities, Lemmy and the Fediverse being no different. People online are way too used to having thoughts of theirs being parroted. Then comes the constructs of all of these karma systems for people to vote said thoughts of and that creates a level of its own discourse that, people will say or do things for some validity based on that.

And anyone else who comes along that thinks or says different than the seeming majority, are scrutinized, bullied and branded to be moderated.

Everyone is just too used to being around others who agree with them.

For me it is just manipulating your natural beauty. Hollywood conditions nearly all women that they must look attractive or risk losing roles that exist only based on attractiveness. So you see actresses like Kate Beckingsale or Lindsay Lohan doing this for some roles.

It’s different than needing to get rid of loose skin from losing a lot of weight.

Relationship Experiences.

I know for certain that I prefer monogamy because I like the idea of having a sense of belonging to someone exclusively and for us to have a closed-off relationship in which we can enjoy eachother.

I’m only okay with polyamory but its very limited and I don’t think a lot of boundaries would be respected. Someone is going to feel like they want more than they can actually have and it’ll disrupt the entire function of that relationship. I’m quite wary on the idea of being in polyamory relationships for this very reason.

You’re telling this to someone who has been on 30 years online, that little regurgitated and redundant statement of yours, was only relevant for the past 15 of those years. Services that were offered for free made it by just fine, the problem is greed, in that which you don’t care to see.

Let me spin that little statement of yours around since you want to try and sound smart, you go to buildings of grocery stores, banks .etc for free. Guess what? YOU’RE ALWAYS THE PRODUCT! So don’t just think it’s an internet-only thing. Now go touch some grass.

I don’t think there really is a good job that’s easy to get, not without what you may need to sacrifice.

And I’m talking, whether you’re okay with living out your comfort zone. Long commutes, potentially living in hotels or cities that have nothing but a Dollar Tree and chain-plaza stores that have nothing else going for them.

Those are things one has to factor in.

No I wouldn’t.

E-Mail is an essential tool and so is using a search engine. When ProtonMail was offering a subscription just so I can have multiple folders, that turned me off.

I hate that what is deemed essential, is turned into a monetizing scheme. God forbid those of us lived in a time where search engines were useful and e-mail was perfected. Now we’re in the era of monetizing everything so those two features have been enshittified.

Eating boogers strengthens your immune system.

I mean, it’s plausible, because the idea of building your immune system is exposure to some of those things. Not trying to invalidate the other methods because those should be a better alternative. Some studies suggested boogers can help.

The moment I catch a driver who has the bumper sticker or window decal of a stick figure with the ‘It’ on the right side humping it, that’s a person with 60 IQ right there.

In middle school, we had a tech class where we had bundles of electronic junk and we could tear them apart more to see what is inside. We could also try to understand the components and how everything worked and came together.

If you haven’t accepted it by now then it is unfortunately a part of life. I’ve tried upholding several friendships with established connections that stemmed from the days I lived in my old state for 29 total years of my life. I’ve been gone from there for over 3 and a half years now and I just felt like we have picked the directions we’ve picked and this is where we are all going.

It’s quite sad honestly, because I know as much as I wish to, I’ve no hope of even visiting my old state. The traveling would be taxing and I’d only have a small window of time to see anyone anyways. I just recently allowed my FB to be permanently deleted which contained my local friends and I did that as part of the acceptance that we’re likely not to see eachother again. Because we all excelled when we’re all together in person.

I am under the belief that sometimes, friendships are meant to expire. When they stop doing anything for you and the progressing and building of relations grow to fade because we’ve held on to old memories that stopped being relevant. The hard truth is that at somepoint, people have to be let go. I have a harder time calling someone a friend when we go so long without doing anything with eachother or even communicating.

Technically some people may see me as the bad friend but honestly, I have tried to hold on to friendships where I knew that it had expired and I wasted enormous amounts of time doing that.

I mean it still has a purpose? Don’t know where you’re going with this, do you have some grudge against BitTorrent we don’t know about?

In short - people being deliberate assholes and know they can pretty much get away with that.

You don’t usually need to think deeper on that.

I wish Quora would shut down.

It only feels that way because one doesn’t explore.

On a creative standpoint, the well of originality is drying up quickly.
