Honestly didn’t take too long to find a lot of people taking this take in the least generous way possible.

And who can forget the “I commute 50 miles each way I can’t use any alternatives” folks as well who seem to think that the better future means absolutely no cars.

It means better alternatives to everyone having to own a car and take a car everywhere.

Straight up my car is 16 years old at this point and I plan to drive it until the wheels fall off

Do I want a different car with different features? Yup.

Will I buy a new car? Fuck no, I’ll buy a used car and do the same: drive it until the wheels falls off.

Of course they don’t have enough money

The goal is (as always) to have all the money

Straight up what made me switch to YouTube premium was a bit of a 2 pronged thing really

They started including Google Play Music with it, and then I got an unskippable 1 hour ad in front of a video that after I reloaded the page I got the same ad again.

Edit: I don’t have an issue paying for a service if the price is right. I got what I wanted for I price I’m willing to pay.

Basically I saw it as “I already pay for Spotify, I might as well get rid of ads consistently and get music streaming for the same cost.”

I still think Google Play Music was better than YouTube Music currently is though.

Edit: Thinking back on it it was called YouTube Red when I signed up, it’s been a long time.

Which part doesn’t make sense?

Fun fact, no

This is a new version from the same creator

I’d recommend checking out their other works as they’re also amazing

Link to the modlog entry for them for those curious.

I’m not sure what made them comment that but I agree with the mod decision to remove the comment.

OP is overreacting for sure and given that they’re a mod on 4 communities I questions what kind of stuff they’ll be doing over there.

EDIT: I think the best part is that the comment sounds like it’s on a post they made but looking through they’re profile they didn’t post here often at all or they purged their posts in this community. So I’m confused.

Zero carb has its own host of issues, not just from the nutrition side of things, but also a host of ethical concerns

Not to mention that the rib thing was a deliberate rewording in later translations, if memory serves it was originally “made from half of Adam” or whatever his original name was.

The “from his rib” thing was put there as a way of basically saying “from creation women were lesser.” So basically politics of the time affecting the message.

I’ll have to see if I can find a source later.

Edit: Source

My car used to look terrible after a drive to the local wilderness area, now I’ll be lucky to see one smack my window per trip.

And don’t forget about redundancies

The programming for the Apollo program was hand woven so comparing it to modern systems is kinda like comparing apples to oranges

Honestly the computers for the Apollo program were amazing and I highly recommend looking into the whole thing more, it’s so incredibly cool

This exactly

These kinds of memes lead to voter apathy which lowers turnout, and high turnout is something republicans fear

Ah yes, because they’re so much the same 🙄

All you have to do is look at the stuff each group tries to pass or succeeds in passing to see how different they actually are

You must not have seen the amount of genocide denial they do, or the amount of simping for dictators.

Because if memory serves both Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad share some admins with each other

And with Lemmygrad and Hexbear loving each other: federation is going to stay a thing over here

One of the things I love about the instance I’m on is that we’re defederated from Hexbear, it’s pretty nice NGL

They are ruled by their hate and fear of the other.

They fear their idea of the world being different than it actually is, and the only response they can come up with is a violent and/or hateful one.

I have 2 siblings and our relationship for the most part was pretty good.

Until it got out that I was bi.

One of siblings is fine with it (they’re also bi).

The other took a similar stance to the rest of my relatives and has all but cut ties with me.

I say similar as most of my relatives have fully cut ties with me.

So it could be better.

Getting Over a Breakup

How have you successfully gotten over a breakup? I did not end the relationship and it was the most significant of my life. I feel confused and trying to understand why. I’m not sleeping well and my anxiety has decided to resurface. I’m ruminating. I don’t have many people to go to about this. Please don’t say I will...

Breakups can be pretty hard to cope with depending on how it ended.

The best advice I can think of is trying to think of it as an era of your life is now over. Those events from that era still have significance to you and will likely for a long time. And the best thing to do is not to dwell on them but look to the future.

What will this new era bring? Will you pick up those hobbies you’ve been thinking about but didn’t have the spare time for? Will you find new adventures in hobbies you already have? Will you focus on self improvement?

The best thing you can do is to let go.

They’re gone, they chose to move on. And now you will have to as well.

Yes they were incredibly significant to you, and for a time you were to them too. But just like eras in history those eras end and a new era begins.

Don’t dwell on the past and what could have been, you will only find pain there.

Look to the future for what could be.

And reach out to your friends/family and talk to them. It will be hard but open up to them about it. And if your family is just as supportive as mine, just your friends.

Here’s a brief(ish) personal story of how my most significant relationship ended.

Trigger warning: death and substance abuse.

A long time ago I was in a long-term committed relationship with 2 people (a man and a woman) I loved more than anything. Life was good for a time and improving. We had long-term goals for the relationship and our futures together.

Then some stuff went wrong that waa outside of our control, we could still achieve our goals but they would have been harder. We didn’t know how to handle it well. But we tried to stay on target.

Then more things went wrong that put us on a 30 day clock to sort out housing situation faster than we had hoped by a long shot.

We had nobody we could lean on for help, our only choice was to try our damnedest to make it happen.

We were running up to our deadline, stress was at an all time high.

We were working as many hours as we could trying to get the cash together faster then we thought possible.

She lost her job.

Then she died.

And a few days later he died due to drinking and driving.

Everything fell apart.

The era was over. And a new era had begun.

I handled it the worst way possible, I fell back into substance abuse.

And it took me 6 years to kick it.

Don’t do what I did, don’t lean into substance abuse (alcohol/drugs) they will only make the hurt worse.
