I have enough in my emergency fund that if I lost my job I'd be ok for about a year.

I'm nearly to my goal, after that I'm going to change my focus to expanding my portfolio.

Still no way I can buy a house though. Need to make about 3x more money for that to happen.

I credit it to having a property owner that's kept rent cheap and having low overhead, and being frugal borderline cheap.

Betteridge's law of headlines. Any headline that ends with a question the answer is always no.

There's literally dozens of us

No one reads the articles man. I won't lie, I'm guilty of it, but it's mainly cuz Im lazy and go to the comments hoping someone will give a synopsis.

Never said it didn't, but reddit is more left leaning than right as a whole.

Lemmy is just straight lefty though. I'm a liberal person so it doesn't bother me other than it just being a massive circle jerk most of the time.

Look I understood that when I made that comment no one would like it, but it's just the truth...

I've been here since the API garbage from reddit, and use it daily so I feel like I can make an honest assessment of my experience thus far.

I like it, its great. Better than reddit in a lot of ways. If someone is/was a heavy Reddit user I recommend it.

Welcome to Lemmy! If you thought Reddit was left leaning, you're in for a wild ride!

Also if you're an American you probably shouldn't be, because they automatically assume you're from the Bible belt. They will simultaneously say they don't care for American politics but then will always be talking about it.

Linux is the best OS just don't get into it. You better be using firefox. All the niche subs you had on Reddit aren't here, and you'll more likely just be blocking communities instead of subbing to anything.

And no one reads the articles, way more than reddit imo

The comments are slightly more interesting though.

It's not all that bad though, I'm being a little sarcastic, but only a little...

So that's why my work laptop is down for the count today. I'm even getting that same error as the thumbnail picture

6 one way, a half dozen the other.

Any battle royale games. They all look so toxic.

Most survival builder games. They're all the same. Only exception is Project Zomboid, but it has to be with friends.

Soulsborne games. If the game is hard, just to be hard it's not that fun for myself. I play games to escape the stress from my life. Not add to it.

Horror games. I have enough anxiety about mundane shit as it is, I don't need a game to give me more.

Whenever I see something like this I feel I must defend my friend who's a cop.

Before being a cop he was a lifeguard at a beach and my bassist.

Baywatch may tell you differently, but being a lifeguard is a seasonal job, and not a career. The next level of being a lifeguard is becoming a cop, so he did, and he has only beaten one black man so far.

It's fairly insane that from Romford to Sutton which is only 30 miles, it's roughly an hour and 45 minutes.

I just went to the Wiltern in downtown LA last night and it's about the same distance as Romford to Sutton from where I live, and without traffic, it takes 40 minutes, with traffic an hour.
