Are we using the US version of blue collar? If so that usually means folks doing manual/maintenance labour that are not a part of the middle class.

That’s some protagonist syndrome.

That’s what I ended up doing. I really wish there was a flag for sexual content in general that would be easy to omit from the feed. I don’t wanna block entire instances as they might have discussions and content on non-sexual topics that I’d like to participate in.

The first thing everyone that I’ve recommended Lemmy to sees is massive amounts of porn when they make their accounts. Telling them they need to block instances is a major hurdle as they don’t even know what an instance is when they migrate over.

Most end up not bothering and going right back to Reddit.

Did your home instance federate with someplace new? Pretty sure that’s what happened to me when I got bombarded by hentai and furry porn a couple weeks ago. It was a veritable tidal wave of shit I had to block.

Are you a Fanatec user? If so, that’s a bummer that Bazzite is causing issues. I’ve been on Nobara for a couple years and have had no issues with my CSL DD.

Was going to the gym for a while back in like 2015 (still do, but I used to too) and was feeling so much better than usual.

I asked my roommate who was one of my best friends at the time if he’d be interested in coming too as it would probably be really fun and motivating if we went together. Dead serious he hit me with “nah, I don’t wanna get too buff.”

🤨 WAT

I think I offended him a bit with my incredulous response. I honestly couldn’t even believe what I heard. Dude was a string bean and would have needed a hard year at the gym to even get remotely “buff”. I was truly dumbfounded.

We don’t need to weed out the vulnerable, we need to weed out the people that would exploit them.

I learned it as “PEBKAC”. Problem exists between keyboard and chair. PICNIC is nice too though.

Or maybe just well reasoned morality?

I guess it depends on what communities you’re participating in. Lemmy is definitely left wing but I’d never describe it as remotely similar to the Truth social cesspool.

Minimum wage in the US is abysmal.

It’s called a Thorn and Sxan likes to use them instead of “th”.

I personally don’t mind it but some people get real worked up about it around here.

Yup.

My 20s were the absolute fucking worst. My 30s? Amazing. Life for me began at 30.

Megadeth’s ‘Rust In Peace’ album. Countless plays over the last 25 years or so. Never gets old.

Joe Scott is good for this.

Absolutely hate when my throat is cuntyescb’lee. A miserable time, that.

America Light® in a lot of ways. Its so damn big that most people that don’t live in the beautiful parts of the country might live their whole lives and never see it.

Housing is fucked, public transit is fucked, urban planning is fucked, we use migrants as cannon fodder for the minimum wage meat grinder… Man, the list goes on.

Its certainly not the worst place in the world to live but it’s really not as good as many people think.

The dialog and worldbuilding text in Caves of Qud is a masterpiece of writing. What a fantastic game.

Opeth - Hex Omega An absolute masterpiece.
