I lost my 10+ yr old account because I got auto banned from a mess of subs for leaving a comment on an anti vax sub CRITICAL of them. You have to love lazy mods who ban without any consideration of context. Now I just glance at the posts and comments and avoid the urge to participate.
In old fashioned diners in the US the older woman would call you “Honey” frequently. This seems to bother the woke crowd. Me, I like the old school waitresses.
What a bizarre thing to be upset about. It sounds like the guy had a screw loose.
How dare they ask me how I’m doing! None of their damn business!
I treat people like that like I’m dealing with a rabid dog. I detach emotionally and treat them like a thing to be careful around.
Probably because it was a popular name for a while so the odds they’d have that name are good.
Another name ruined

Sounds like they were in quite a pickle.
“I’ll give you $5 if you sniff it.”
Yup. You look through history and FAR worse shit has happened in the past, even the recent past. The present though is what everyone has to deal with and that is your burden to bear best you can. Like you said, you see this sort of thing go in waves.
I know this sounds like a pat on the head but you also have to count your blessings in life and not just obsess over the things that are wrong with it or you’ll always be miserable and never able to find any happiness. To say “everything is shit” is as unrealistic as saying “everything is wonderful”.
“Do you believe our species will ever reach some form of enlightenment”
If there is anything history has taught me is that we repeat the same basic behavior over and over and have done so as far back as we can see. We are essentially very intelligent monkeys, obsessed with social status, manipulation, altruism and cooperation mixed with hostility and exploitation. I think the basic sociology of humans is baked into our DNA and the very nature of animal life. People have always imagined they can create some utopia on earth but it always ends up a failure because of the very nature of man and the impossibility of even defining a utopia for everyone.
If you are Elon Musk it is looking amazing right now.
That must be one incredible basement!
My wife does this with index cards. I have to try to figure out what she wrote down (1? l?) and she crosses out an old one and writes the new one in a random spot so I have to study the card to find the live pw.
I’d be open to using a pw manager then I read the comments here and everyone is suggesting different apps, arguing over how inconvenient one or the other it, various issues, etc. It doesn’t make me feel like taking action if everything feels sketchy.
And the EU has forced us to answer that goddamn “do you accept cookies?” question on every frigging website. How many people just click “accept all” to get on with things?
I just occasionally wipe everything. I have to reenter passwords and such but it isn’t a big deal.
No certs and degree isn’t in CS. I just have lots of experience.
My pathway was basically:
Lemmy is too quiet and has little local activity so I still glance at FB and Reddit
