after inc. was made by the developers of plague inc. and is a personal favorite of mine

Showering. No idea why maybe the simplest task of the day is also the task that makes my emotional state immediately tank.

I love the look of the beaches in Australia, hope I get to go soon! nice pictures!!

Can you elaborate on what specifically bothered you? I didn’t notice anything when I read it but it was a good while ago

I’m sure you’ve read or heard this before, but project hail mary is great. The whole bobiverse series was incredibly satisfying to read and the 5th book is out recently in the form of an audio book. Low pressure, low commitment series thats just full of engineering porn.

exchange AFAIK isn’t considered hierarchy, a trade of goods (in your example money for service) is equal

boost! used to be a reddit client but is now entirely lemmy

man… telegram is not doing too hot lately

hope the U.S. doesn’t fuck them over even more than they already have been at this point

my dad always taught me its better to drive predictably than drive politely, i try to embody that

loool youre in the wrong place fully mask off with the “hope your kids get gangbanged” part doesnt sound you really care for the kids?

its not day ruining, but as i said in my original comment the stress definitely adds up

oopsie daisies thats a config issue on my part ty

people like me who can be bothered by it

you not being upset by it doesnt necessarily mean there arent people who are upset by references to suicide or portrayals of sharp objects in this context

its not quite necessary or expected on lemmy as far as i can see but its definitely appreciated when i have to see one less triggering post, cause the stress does add up

though i will point out that its pretty useless when the image isnt spoilered or hidden within the body cause who reads the title first and THEN decides if they want to see the post

I’m not sure I’ve seen this take expressed here before… but here I go. I think the thing I appreciate about Lemmy is that it isn’t absurdly active. Before my switch to Lemmy (from Reddit ofc), I was compulsively checking Reddit for new content every 20 minutes, even taking priority over hyperfixations of mine. I like that there isn’t new content every 20 minutes. It’s like checking your fridge every 20 minutes for new food, and Reddit just keeps feeding you until you’re upset. This place feels like it “restocks” every day so that I don’t feel the need to check it obsessively. It’s improved my relationship with social media entirely. My only issue is the amount of bait, not just in the form of trolls but people riling themselves and others up with politics. I get it, I’m extremely far left too, but god if I come here in hopes of being less anxious I always see something that feels designed to make me angry. It’s less than Reddit but we could all work on considering if engaging is worth it. Learn to appreciate boredom and understimulation and it will change your life, especially those of you like me with an anxiety disorder.

sorry for the tangent, tl;dr less content actually makes me less anxious and more comfortable and we should learn to appreciate the boredom that comes with that

Tell me when you graduate from therapy! Otherwise there’s someone who will wake up and realize they’re missing their cunt

Been reading Rendezvous With Rama, incredible so far!

Used to use boost and then switched to Joey back on Reddit. I tried Connect at first on Lemmy, but it just kept crashing any time I scrolled far down. Switched to Liftoff for a while but had some issues with the way it manages accounts and I kept seeing the same posts over and over. Now I’m on Jerboa and I’ve had no issues with accounts, memory, or it not being customizable enough.

Going to have to disagree with this one. Saying /s is helpful for people like me who have a particularly hard time with interpreting text in casual contexts like this. Using /s doesn’t change the feel of the comment (at least in my eyes) and helps you understand the tone.
