Wow, I don't even know how to process this. The dumbass conservatives are getting so confused about life they're actually creating sarcastic comics about their way of thinking unintentionally.

This is peak irony

There are health benefits to coffee as well, as long as you do moderate consumption and don't put sugar, I don't think it's that bad generally.

It is addictive though, and you feel exhausted for some days if you suddenly stop drinking.

I remember feeling like this, then I made the switch and I haven't thought about it again

I recently started very casually learning Chinese, this absolutely blew my mind along with the fact that verbs don't have a billion different forms depending on time and the object of the sentence like all the other languages I know.

I get so frustrated when people find it extremely weird that I care about my privacy at all and haven't accepted that I'm under surveillance 24/7. I know I can't achieve full privacy, but why is a little more privacy a bad thing and why do they take it so damn personally, without even telling them to do the same. There are so many people who are cucks for corporations, silently accepting every new violation of their rights as if they have no alternative.

I'm not a psychologist but judging from what you say, you seem to be at the phase of acceptance.

If you haven't and still can, you should apologise to whoever you hurt, even if that's yourself.

Recognise what led you there, what where your thoughts and feelings that made you do it. Then try your hardest not to do it again.

Don't beat yourself up over it, everyone makes mistakes, big and small.

Let the mistake change you for the better, mistakes are the best and most effective teachers if you decide to listen to them.

Move on, but make sure to understand and forgive yourself and to let the mistake improve you.

Exactly this. I'm fortunate enough that the skills I'm good at have a lot of demand at the moment, but people I know that are more hard working than I am and very talented, struggle to get by just because their job for some reason is considered less worthy to pay for.

Wanting to maintain this rotten system is the purest form of greed.

That's probably true.. It would be nice if people would voluntarily read books at all ages and get educated so that they can have actual political beliefs instead of 'x party good, y party bad'

People here are way to eager to get into political arguments out of nowhere, usually in bad faith. The front-page is covered with doomscrolling content, being here too long makes me miserable and hopeless. The rest of the content is mostly tech stuff, which can only be interesting for so long.

What I miss from Reddit, is the variety of diverse communities, people having fun and polite conversations, a sense of humor, and a lot of happy content or stuff that's interesting but not limited to tech.

At this point, I feel like the technology is much better and the user base much larger, but the user group is so extremely specific.

I wish people from all political spectrums would engage in a civil conversation here and not reduce it to mockery and attacking. What's the point of discussion if no one leaves with something new to think?

It's funny, but memes like this affect the opinion of people who haven't tried it.

They mistake some extreme minimal arch rice for the general Arch experience or the general Linux experience as well. If so many Lemmy users, who are statistically tech nerds, don't see through the meme, then the average person will definitely stay away from Linux.

What's the point of even "modernising" task manager?

Normies that would care about task manager being too ugly probably don't know it even exists.

There goes the last dependable program that Windows had to offer

Just the fact that you think programming a car to stop at a red light is a one man task is enough to show how much you know about what you're talking about
