Having some place to bring dates that doesn’t also house my parents.

I still listen to Kanye West music. Sometimes even the new stuff.

Maybe I don’t think post scarcity is necessary for ending capitalism, but carbon neutral sounds good to me.

I think we need to address climate change and capitalism first. But once that’s done, I think space exploration would be sweet.

That’s true but I feel like I am putting money in Jeff Bezos pocket(tho I suppose you could make the argument that all credit cards and banks put money in the pockets of unsavory billionaires) by having it. I just don’t believe it’s good to support Amazon.

If you want proof that theres real humans on the Internet, this is it.

I got an Amazon Credit card while drunk. I completely regret it and I’m ashamed it took me way too long to cancel it.

I’m 37m now. I was with my first gf from age 18 to 24. I was a wreck for years. I didn’t go on a date for at least a year. I didn’t have sex for 2 years. I didn’t get into another relationship for 5 years.

We had kinda been circling the drain for a while, so it shouldn’t have been a surprise at the time, but I didn’t know any world without her and I was scared to end it.

Looking back, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me, but in the moment it was awful. I was a depressed wreck for years.

Benadryl. I have always struggled to sleep.

I tried out Lemmy.ml for a while but then I kept getting accused of being a tankie, so I gave up. Piefed showed up in my reddit feed and feddit.online was the first one I saw.

A ring of rich pedophiles runs the world.

This is dumb. AI isn’t what we think it is.

Is not a ghost and also it’s not indistinguishable from your grandma.

A gentleman doesn’t care about downvotes.

We all are the bad guy at some point but you always have the opportunity to let that go.

I have some flashes from 2 to 3. I remember my mom giving my younger brother a bath in the tub. He’s 14 months younger than me.

I think ad funded stuff is the only way to get things done in a capitalist economy. There may be other types of economies that could get by without ads, but we’ll never know because this is the world we’ve created.

Capitalist culture creates any consumption a form of status. The more you consume, the higher your status. We see this in people buying status through Rolexes, Lamborghinis, and travelling.

There is some inherent value in traveling. It expands your horizons. It gives you new perspectives.

So it works for both capitalist and less capitalist culture.

I used to move a lot too, so that was part of the reason for getting a kindle, but I’m not moving any time soon, so it made sense to get books again.

I know, I really like that about Kindles, but I recently decided I need less screen time and a Kindle is technically a screen. ( I am aware of the irony of posting this comment on the Internet)
