SocialMediaRefugee, to asklemmy in So is the US slipping into Civil War?

If you look at history it takes more than this. I doubt people would go to war over illegal immigrants.

SocialMediaRefugee, to comicstrips in Evolving

Stay a kid forever? You know those narcissists who do shit like litter, drive like jerks, etc? They didn’t grow up.

SocialMediaRefugee, to linuxmemes in Your PC will thank you...

I’m not going to try to explain how to use Linux to my wife unless I get a salary for it.

SocialMediaRefugee, to asklemmy in What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

The singularity that supposedly lies inside black holes is more likely just a result of a huge gap in our understanding and a dead end in general relativity.

SocialMediaRefugee, to selfhosted in Does anyone else harvest the magnets and platters from old drives as a monument to selfhosting history?

I used to collect AOL cds. I had a stack a few feet high. I was going to make some sort of artwork out of them.

SocialMediaRefugee, to memes in title

Or people who push them to remote spots like bus stops and abandon them there. And more and more accumulate…

SocialMediaRefugee, to lemmyshitpost in Thank the EU there’s a prominent “Reject” button nowadays

Put a button saying accept all or make you go into a 2nd screen where you have to pick what you want. Guess what most people do to get it out of the way?

SocialMediaRefugee, (edited ) to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

Religion isn’t just about evolution and how old the earth is, those are distractions from the big issues. All of the knowledge in the world won’t help you deal with the questions, “Why am I here?”, “What is my purpose? What is the point of it all?”, “Do we just die and disappear?” Knowing all the science in the world won’t make you feel at peace with these questions.

We are emotional creatures who are sadly aware of our mortality. Many need a parental figure to keep us in line, “God is watching”, and a companion for loneliness and hopelessness, “Jesus loves you” when no one else will or can help. It can feel like you have some protection against things overwise out of your control (disasters, wars, sudden deaths, accidents, illness, etc). Many people like the structure it brings their life and the comradery from being part of a like-minded group. Some join the military for this, some go into orthodox religions thick with rules and traditions, like Hassidic Jews. It can lead to a strong tribalism too, same with politics, where you instinctively distrust those who believe differently but feel you can trust those who do because you feel you understand what they feel and think.

SocialMediaRefugee, to lemmyshitpost in IT support work be like

I know people who don’t use a password manager so every time they have to type in a pw they have to go through the reset process.
