This is me yesterday… And other days… And then I can’t fall asleep because I am too worried that I should be asleep already and that I have to wake up early. This causes my absolute favourite feedback loop.
Sometimes I just love being a human being :')
True that’s why I don’t have any “traditional” social media, except for YouTube I guess?
I mostly use lemmy/YouTube and from time to time I really can only find some niche community on reddit so I have to give in.
But no political content whatsoever, that’s why lemmy shocked me a bit.

Yeah, I’m kinda mad at all the Spez/3rd party app stuff, but the constant hate has got me thinking about leaving lemmy. It’s sad because I like the idea behind lemmy but people have no respect.
I like hearing different sides of things but absolutely everything is political here and it’s either black or white. Ffs
I have a real job. How do you think I bought the house?
Perhaps you should spend less time online being a toxic cunt and focus on working instead.
P.S. Going through my post history? Get a life.
I see some Linux but I’m subscribed to a lot of techy communities. Self host, programming etc. So it’s kinda normal.
Could be the default view on each instance… On my first account I subbed to a lot of different communities on different instances so I saw all the crap. Eventually due to all the politics bullshit I just migrated to my current instance which has hexbear and lemmygrad blocked so it’s been a lot better.
But even so, I always see a bunch of politics crap on the memes community.
I feel like this, but instead of Linux it’s communism BS. Lol
Honestly, blahaj also seems to have a lot of deranged people. A lot of great people too, but with my instance defederating from Hexbear and lemmygrad, when I see those kinda of comments it’s usually blahaj.
They aren’t as bad though of course. It’s bearable.
Same, I usually don’t really participate but I love seeing people discuss political opinions objectively and willing to learn.
But hex\grad people were always “What do you mean [any post] isn’t political??!?! It’s clearly political because [absolutely unreasonable reason]”
The ragebait/sea lioning was getting too much. Eventually my mailbox was full of those trolls so I just went on a different instance that had both banned and I’m a lot happier. On the downside it’s now closer to an echo chamber but I guess I’ll just browse the memes and random crap then. I can work with that…
I use Firefox and also got that pop-up. Eventually I just grew tired of clicking the “X” button so I went on uBlock origin and added that stupid banner and the banner background to the blacklist.
It’s like nothing ever happened. And if shit continues to get worse, either someone comes up with a fix somehow, or I’ll just find a way to run ReVanced YouTube apk on my pc or something. I don’t care if I have to emulate it somehow.
Also, on mobile GrayJay is a good alternative to ReVanced. Made by LouisRossmann’s team apparently.
Yeah there was this news story a long time ago of 2 girls that were stuck on an elevator in Lisbon (Portugal). Apparently they looked up some number on their phones for Lisbon but since they were from the US it suggested some random city named Lisbon there. They spent a lot of time trying to explain where the elevator was located until they realised it wasn’t the same Lisbon.
(I think it’s a true story. Might just be an urban legend from Lisbon I guess 🤷♂️)
As someone from Portugal, this was the first thing to come to my mind. Also, the show is nice overall. I just don’t enjoy the American guy’s forced accent. Joe was his name or nickname I think. It feels too forced borderline cringe.
Still would watch a season 2 though.
To be fair, on the meme they aren’t saying communism is the solution (although there any many memes that do).
I think it’s easy to criticise capitalism because people live with it on a daily basis. If these people lived under communism they would criticise it somehow.
This kinda reminds me of something I heard someone say. It’s something like “Democracy is shit. But it’s the best shit we have”.
Is capitalism right? Nope. But I don’t feel like communism would be a solution either. But I’m all up for criticising whatever needs criticising otherwise things don’t improve/change.
Also speaking as an European we might not have it as bad as the US (which is where most people are from here). Just the fact that our healtcare is free is a huge plus. When I was younger I dreamt about living in the US or even just going to NY, SF etc. Now I’m afraid I might get shot, get a huge hospital bill and come back broke. 👌
(sorry, this comment turned out a lot longer than I wanted it to. ADHD is a bitch)
