Every other word (not literally) out of my mouth is a curse word, so much so that I feel less of a need to use them here. Plus every-once-and-a-while peeps take my rando opinions far too seriously. So, (to compensate), I try to be more polite than I would when actually speaking
You sound like you’re way smarter than I am, but I can absolutely relate to bordom=pain.
I’m constantly learning new things, or delving deeper into subjects I’m already familiar with. I can’t help it. My brain won’t have it any other way (otherwise I get destructive)
You ever see a dog that’s got its leash tangled the long way round a table leg, and it just cannot grasp what the problem is or how to fix it? It can see all the components laid out in front of it, but it’s never going to make the connection....
As funny as this is, I concur. Also… why were they taking a picture? Kinda concerns me that they may have intentionally pushed the box top over to tip the cat
They key is to do both. Listen intentently, respond with something like “wow that sucks, would you like a hug?” And then while hugging say something like “is there anything I can do to help you with this?”
That’s what will give you your answer. If she says “no” then just let it be. If she says “I don’t know” help to guide her to the solution. Ask “what do you think could be done to make it better?” And let the pieces fall in place.
Even if you know the answer, it’s better to let people come up with it on their own. They’ll feel understood and empowered, and you won’t get shit on for being calous. Everyone wins
My husband pointed out that certain items like sneakers, backpacks and scrubs are either unisex or women’s. Many other items are that way, too. A men’s watch might be large on a woman’s wrist but no-one would really think twice. A tiny pink watch on a man’s wrist would likely garner more attention (depending on where you are in the western world, of course)
I’m curious to know what your degree is in. I’m not disagreeing with you, but I think many young people are mislead into believing that just getting a degree will be a ticket to financial freedom, but what type of degree a person gets does matter
My mom gave me shit back when I voted for him for governor of California (we were a liberal household) but I still have zero regrets. I hope Schwarzenegger continues to impress
I’ll be 40 in a few months. I think for people who grew up at the beginning of the internet, we know how much things can change and how quickly.
My guess is that we’re less willing to put up with bs changes, and more willing to move on because we know something’s popularity doesn’t neccrsarily make it the best choice.
I think that by adulthood into mid-life and older, adults care less about what their friends are using and more about how well things work for them. That’s certainly the case for me

I considered deleting the post, but this seems more cowardly than just admitting I was wrong. But TIL something!

Why are most memes on Lemmy from 5-10 years ago?
I’m glad people are active, but why are the most upvoted memes things from years ago? Bots? Users desperate for content?
