If you like X+Y but don’t like just Y then you must like X only

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.

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

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.

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

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.

“My computer hates me” I’ve heard that one

I have to constantly explain to my wife that if she can’t reach a website it is likely on their end and there is nothing I can do until they fix it. I explain there is a chain of connections involved and me sitting and staring at her laptop for an hour isn’t going to fix it.

The majority of people are genuinely thankful for your help. Sometimes they put off asking for help until they are very frustrated and you catch some of that heat but they calm down quickly. They also really like it if you have to sit down and work on their computer because it means they have an excuse to not work and have some coffee. There always seems to be that one person though that you dread helping because they are always pissy and sarcastic and blame you for everything.

I had this with a person who said their screen stayed blank no matter what they did. I came down, saw the power light on the monitor was off, saw the plug was not plugged in, and fixed it. She was very embarrassed.
