Fuck that, it’s a scamp. They gave my page to Lee Harvey Oswald

I have been saving up for a motorcycle since I was 20. Now I’m approaching 40 and there’s finally some money in that account

Got a kid and a job and eventually lost all time for gaming. Now I’m slowly starting again, but only single player stuff

First time I heard what happened, it really blew my mind.

My dog has my kids as het herd.

Try doing a bachelor next to you job. Dear God, do I long for some rest. I’ve been slacking on my studies lately, but I only have 50 EC left to do. Anyways, I’ve got no choice but to change jobs after I get my bachelor. Employers don’t give proper raises, they only give unfair wage gaps to new employees. That s how you get the “I’ve worked here 30 years and the new college kid gets twice my salary” rethoric. That’s sadly how it works. So eventhough I’ll have my degree next year, I know I won’t get paid for it unless I leave. I’ll try, because I like my job, but I know they won’t accept my offer.

Ain’t nobody got time for a strike. I gotta feed my kids and pay my rent

Good point, I should start murder more people who don’t use iso8601… It’s about time!

Love the name

My son is 5 and has all but Fiep and Fons in his class, but there is a Fien. Old fashioned names (or variations) are very popular these days… or five years ago.

It’s legal somewhere

I think it’s grow or die, just like everything. So I think we’ll have to grow, but I’m just curious how. Will it stay like it is now? Will it become even more niche? Will there be some capitalist instance who’s gonna take over the whole fediverse? Will there be mainstream news broadcasters mentioning Lemmy posts or users? Will “This is awesome, Lemmy post this online” become a mainstream saying?

I bet you saw them mentioned in the most recent Veritasium video?

I like to think I know how to use a computer, but I mostly use my phone for private stuff. I have a few things running on my PC, but they’re all online now in my local network and they have a mobile website through which I interact with them. Even my TV runs a frontend for things on my computer. Computer stuff has become an even broader spectrum of devices and skills than it used to be 20 years ago.

• nothing, it was just a hand pushing the ball
• a ping pong ball
• round, wood coloured, but thin like a metal coffee table.

I did have to think about how to put it into words, but the picture was fully formed before revealing the questions.

Not to belittle you kid’s efforts, it’s a great feat they’ve achieved, but it sounds like survivorship bias. You can do everything right and still fail. Being in the right place at the right time and having the right connections matter.

Or is it just a “fake it till you make it” kind of thing? I definitely haven’t got shit together, but I’ve learned to juggle and balance all my problems to perfection so that outsiders could easily mistake it for “having shit together”. You should just focus on who you are and be the best you you can be. “Having shit together” is mostly a relative metric which is good for measuring the masses, but not fair to measure you personally.

These affirmations do not all clash with capitalism. I also don’t agree with all of them, not all jobs are real and valid. We had a guy at work, nephew of the boss, who was facility manager… from abroad. Also got payed way too much and was bought out when the company was taken over. It was not a real job, it was nepotism and he was handsomely rewarded all along the way for doing absolutely nothing while we all had to pick up the slag. Life isn’t fair or equal and cheaters get rewarded. These affirmations work for them too, because cheaters can also just happily define their own worth and their own succesfullness and it’ll be good for their soul. So these rules are not the holy grail, there is no such thing. Just common sense and good conscience.

There’s a religion for that, Breatharianism
