Yeah. It can be seriously annoying to have people judge you for who you were once, or maybe never was even. Often other people’s perceptions are not accurate descriptions of who any of us really are.

It’s just life I guess.

You are Hillary Clinton?

Shit, even going from a semi active lifestyle to a 9-5 office job will add a belly if you’re not hitting the gym.

Only if you keep eating as you did before. People don’t change their diets as they get older. They seem unaware / not caring that the belly will come otherwise.

I think it’s partly just being OK with getting fat. If you are not attractive anymore anyway because of age, may as well enjoy whatever food you like. And if you are in a relationship, both partners are probably OK with looking not so great anymore as they age.

Play eve online.

A more cynical take is that they understand very well, but are being compensated by big tech for looking the other way.

Good people often can’t comprehend how evil people work, and they say “everyone makes mistakes”, or “they don’t understand fully”. Because we want to think that everyone is mostly good.

It’s not like that. :/

I think a lot of the meme content here is bots as well.

But since most users don’t post anything, it’s better than the alternative.

Hacker news is often interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/

I started looking at summarized hacker news articles in the last month also, I like the format of this:

But sometimes I check Lemmy instead. It’s a lot easier to digest for the brain.

All that text and not even one mention of what you don’t like with Gnome.

It’s not garbage and if anything, it makes plasma better by being a bit of competition and offering simplicity.

I think it’s more similar to the mac idea of simplicity, but there isn’t much new features.

People really don’t want to believe that Apple, Microsoft and Google are all not on their side, so they choose to believe Apple is good, as some kind of a lesser evil.

The TV show Lost just took an a new meaning…

I think it’s just mostly teen drama from Lemmy.world users. :)

Just 30 mins to an hour. It’s really nice to be able to drop it so easily. It has very little addiction feeling, and it’s easy enough to just open the app and go through what’s new and then close it.

It’s irreversible at this point and nothing you can do except hope it won’t affect your health.

It’s only fair that it’s happening to humans since we are destroying the planet.

Hmm. What games are for Mac OS? I have never played a game on a mac ever. Not even seen what can be played.

Everything is fucking star trek, linux, and communism. The only women here are trans women.

100% agree on this, and I guess it’s because nerds are the first ones to discover and use new tech. It also gives a sense of real community since everyone speaks the same language. But of course this means that people outside the circle will wonder what the fuck is going on. :)

About teenagers and people attacking you, yeah, that’s how some of them are. I get comments where they intentionally misunderstand something just to be able to copy/paste some default snarky response, because that’s how they have fun feeling superior. :).

It’s never original because they are not very bright, it’s just quotes and oneliners they saw online and now they use them because they like them. Doesn’t bother me, I just don’t respond and continue in other threads instead. I honestly just smile about it and move on. You should try it.

You have to realize that lemmy is just entertainment and some people get entertained if they can make you upset and angry.

This is why I identify as a refrigerator.

Celebrate what? I don’t celebrate just being alive, but maybe I should. :)

Nope. Just want to say that there are many people who don’t have the need to put on a big show about thwmselves. It’s fine to just exist without broadcasting it to the world.

And here I am with no desire to display anything on myself, or make any statement with my clothes or behavior.

I don’t feel the need to tell every stranger my life story. :)
