Dave_r, 1 year ago to asklemmy in With the way the world's going, is there even a point to anything anymore?

Check out this book: Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World — and Why Things Are Better Than You Think g.co/kgs/NrQSP4

You’re not wrong - shit’s fucked up. But that’s not all - there is tremendous progress in the world, and significant change coming down the pike.

Why bother? Shape the change towards what’s good, and be kind like the good dude above said.

Dave_r, 1 year ago to asklemmy in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

Cheese.

Dave_r, 1 year ago to asklemmy in What was your best and worst experience on Reddit?

Tl;Dr: Banned from Ask a Trump Supporter for apologizing.

Once, I was young and care free - an Innocent. I thought: If only they could see the data they would believe! And, I was uniquely prepared to help them see and understand (I was working on Data viz at the time). And so I started posting in Ask a Trump Supporter. And we got into it. And, well, the dude had a point.

When you're wrong your wrong, so I apologized. And, I included a question mark in the apology.

Bam banned just like that for violating rule xyz about asking questions in the comments.

Never been so happy to be banned. Probably saved my marriage.
