In one article I saw they claimed that they didn’t aim for Bluesky (it acted on it’s own tho) because of low user numbers.

Fediverse is pretty much nonexistent next to that so…yeah. They don’t care because it’s literally not worth the trouble for them xD

What you said applies to old friendships mostly. And yeah, they need maintenance. But today it’s really hard to connect with new people if you’re not a party person. The spaces where you would usually go to meet other interesting folks like libraries, parks or similiar are mostly devoid of people, and people who are there are there to chill out and, mostly, don’t really want to be bothered.

And I felt nothing but respect for you when I’ve read you ran clubs so that talks for itself. That requires hella energy and commitment xD

But just tomake sure I am clear - I do agree with you. It just goes further than this.

I fear only one thing. That I will be too bland/boring or what I deem in any way interesting won’t be. Or that it will be and I’d get overwhelmed with amount of comments and wouldn’t be able to reply to even third of them and would come off as a dick or a bot :< That and I am well aware I am not compatible with most of lemmy so yeah.

It’s tiring tho if you are the only plannin dude. :< Have two friends of “We should hang out sometime!” variety and being the one who always has to grab them and nail down a plan is draining xD And it’s not like they don’t want to hang out and throw out empty words - they are just absolutely incapable of doing the planing. xD

Heh, I’m from EU tho. Ads were runnin year to year and I, as a kiddo, made connection.

And you lettim them do that like that? :o

Nah but honestly, giving each other gifts does not mean go to the local shop and pay a lot. You can instead spend effor and create something for someone. But the easy way is the commercial one. Like, you know, pre-commercial Santa, the actual Santa Claus

Though I’d lie if I said I don’t connect cola and christmas :/

The fuck does Santa have to do with capitalism?

To add to that - I believe I have reduced empathy and the effect is that I cling to rules as much as I can because they are the only sensible guide what’s right and what’s not. I know I have some empathy - just lower than normal folk. Still can’t imagine how it is to have none.

But crow has no “mouth” - it has a beak. Not only is it drier than human mouth so saliva doesn’t act to extract that shit, but it’s also extended so the filter won’t touch anything able to leech into.

What’s toxic in the cigarretes is the smoke so birdies should be safe.

246k people at least doesn’t understand EU is volontary. FFS.

I had anhedony, and fought out of it for my partner…just to find out that, as long as I am not depressove, most stuff make me happy. Learning, improving, playing, frolicking, walking, biking, skating, programming…

Just need to be in a right mood. Sometimes, the most happy I can be is by just sitting, cup of hot cocoa in hands, watching some video with my partner. Just a bliss.

Erm. Didn’t Waymo just decide to chill out a bit with their cars safety?

Humans inherently care, and love each other. Anything else is taught by someone else who thinks they know what’s okay.

The hell you on about? I ain’t givin shit about anybody who’s not already in my friend circle and sure as hell last time I checked I am human. Empathy varies a lot in humans, some people are naturally caring, some don’t give a damn if most people around them die, most are somewhere between so chill out.

The only objectively correct way to treat anyone else is how you treat yourself. Anything else is just learned hate.

Let others reap what they sow. Extend some respect at first and give benefit of the doubt but if they aren’t worth it, they simply aren’t worth it. Anything else and you’re gonna get used, trampled and disrespected.

And that extends to racist, homophobic or transphobic idiots who cannot argue for their stance. If a black person killed your dog and that was only black person you ever saw, yeah, fair you have bad opinion.

But if you’re like one of my coworkers who hates gay folk cause it’s fun, not respect, die in a ditch.

Eyup, it is. I like the plan I have with them, just curious of public opinion…which there seems to be none xD

Okay, one questian. What about mega.io? I never see anyone talking about them, neither negatively or positively. Are they ok for folk around here, non-foss aside?

I don’t get one thing. They are fucking masked, don’t legitimate themselves and act like kidnappers. Why the fuck doesn’t the mob fight back? Why aren’t there stories of ICE being beaten, scared off or unmasked? Not even one story about them getting shot after another attack?

Why the hell the only thing that puts any resistance whatsoever in USA is POLICE?

Just wanted to say that. And it’s visible, when visiting from EU, if you click “Manage preferences”, all except the “legitimate interest” ones are off by default.

WHICH IS BULLSHIT AS THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE INTEREST >_<

Ya all going boomer shit and all tgat. Used too. Then met a few of couples like that. I dunno why were they couples but…yeah.

Polish also has three. She, he, it/this.
