  • lemmy is small and tolerant of dissent. people are are more independent and they are forming tribes so much. as it gets bigger people will tolerate it less.

    some of the instances however, are full of tribal nutcases who are only interested in being ideological pure. but the mostly keep to themselves, which is nice. though i will say it’s annoying ot have to constnatly block crap from the main page from this instances. when i first joined lemmy 60% of my general content was lgbt furry linux weirdos.


  • save money. make good choices that provide you with long term benefit, exercise your body and mind. ignore short term impulses and invest in yourself, not other people. build your future day by day, don’t hope that it magically comes one day.

    and ignore other people. way too many people are obsessed with what other people think of them and trying to impress them, and that’s why they make themselves miserable doing shit that is harmful to their well being.

    every miserable/anxious person i meet is always obsessing about what other people think about them and trying to impress strangers and feels like they are ‘struggling’ because they aren’t as rich as somebody else. constantly agonizing over this or that meaningless brass ring they are chasing that will just leave them seeking another one.









  • there are also just way more male incels than female incels by the nature of sex and biology. if you have 50K male incels and 5K female incels, and only .01% are violent, then you will have 50 male incidents and 5 female ones. but statisically that does not mean male incels are 10x more violent, it’s just numbers. incels probably are less violent than non incels, on average, as much of their inceldom comes from their passivity and fear.

    last i checked there was never an epidemic of incels. it’s like a few random incidents, far suppressed by school shootings, which are basically weekly at this point in the USA. but it gets way more press time because of the controversial gender stuff that ragebaits people. at this point nobody cares if another 10 year old kills 6 of his classmates, that’s boring and mundane, but if some 17 year old knife stabs 3 people with an incel rant, that’s exciting and novel. mass violence needs a ‘hate’ element for the media to generate attention these days.


  • No. I don’t like lazy/easy humor, like one-liners and dad jokes and toilet humor.

    I like satire and absurdist humor mostly, which alienates people because it requires knowledge of what it is satirizing.

    I also like comics who insult everyone mercilessly and don’t pull any punches, which is not very popular in the ‘sensitivity’ climate we have nowadays where certain groups are ‘prohibited’ from being mocked, or people who think political comedy must be one-sided only.






  • the way to have a good job is to have 10 years of experience in something.

    pretty much every job is the worst when you are starting out. the issue wiht many younger people is they want a fast-track to top 10% salaries and unless you’re a nepo baby or have some rare talent, that just isn’t happening for the average person.

    most people don’t have job security or good pay until they are in their late 30s/40s, when you have a ton of specialized knowledge and hands on experience.
