I run AdGuard on my iPhone and don’t see ads at all. No idea how it’s so effective, but it is.

Also have an old model/iOS version though. Idk if it’s no longer possible.

Humanity is screwed.

They like being alone, don’t like loud noises, will find a reason to leave a situation with more than 3 people in a small area. They don’t have any sexual desire and will be most happy to go through life without ever having intercourse. Probably going to go extinct without outside intervention thanks to that, better intervene to preserve the species.

They want to hibernate when it’s cold outside. Cold = anything below 70f.

They’re herbivores though so at least they don’t destroy their planet by mass farming the cruelest and most inefficient food source possible. Silver lining?

I guess my crappy raffle luck as a kid paid off. Learned young that putting hope in a gamble isn’t worth it.

Nowadays I have a fun little mantra to tell people in my circle: If I’m willing to make a bet, you might not want to take it. I’m not the gambling type. I probably know something.

I haven’t looked at the lgbt spaces on Lemmy. Are they as bad as Reddit was?

Where people don’t understand what a definition is and say everyone is whatever they feel like that particular Tuesday?

I left so many spaces when they got taken over by people who just wanted to collect labels without understanding what they meant, and instead just morphing labels to mean whatever they wanted.

Fun fact: Gas chambers are often used to kill pigs. You can hear their screaming from outside the facilities as the gas burns them to death from the inside out.

This is common practice.

It is plenty likely the victim in the picture whose mutilated corpse is very disrespectfully converted into sewage by now was gassed to death.

When I became financially independent I got Reddit premium even though I didn’t really use any of the features. Already had adblock and RES. I just wanted to support the site I spent hours on.

Cancelled that when they killed Apollo.

But I do agree that limited ads aren’t an issue… except for the slippery slope that’s happened. Just a few more ads… just a little more intrusive…

This is me. I have had people say I make them sweat by looking at me when I wear a sweater in 75F just because it’s not yet hot enough to make me take it off.

Genuinely good advice that I am saving for my own reference. Thank you.

If they can figure out how to enable the camera on my cameraless pc, that’s just impressive.

I don’t even use a proper monitor I use a 6 year old budget tv screen. I see no camera lens on that thing.

That’s basically the mindset I’m in.

We’re screwed and won’t shape up in time. But I’m still going to self reflect and improve myself.

There is very little chance. But there is zero chance if everyone lets zero chance stop them from caring about their own actions.

… That’s the time of day I feel good about life.

I mean I know life sucks but I’d like to enjoy myself at the peaceful low-stress hours!

Wait there’s a community for it?

Where?

Hi I made it to 30 and no wizard powers yet.

… Wait is anticheat on? I got a hacked client that automatically disabled my desire for partnered “fun time” so it made the grind to 30 with that status effect a lot easier.

Did I miss out on wizard powers?!

For me, the loss meme always makes me lose The Game.

So the prevalence of Loss is directly correlated to my loss of The Game. And upon seeing Loss, I choose to follow the rules of The Game and let others suffer a loss as well!

I do not apologize for sharing the mental connection between the two. It amuses me.

Welp. I just loss The Game.

You have a 50/50 split of upvotes and downvotes, so you’re hovering around 0 give or take.

Personally and if I understand you correctly, I pretty much share your view.

If someone looks/acts like a specific gender based on cultural norms and personal experience, I’ll default to calling the person that gender. It’s just a simpler and easier form of communication, and takes just a moment to correct if the opposite is desired.

They/them is technically usable but really clumsy sounding in English because that changes the entire sentence structure to plural even when you are speaking about a singular. Which is a personal pet peeve.

It feels more natural to default to a neutral “he” and change to feminine “she” if corrected than it does to default to a plural “they”. Heck I’ve seen someone default to a neutral “she” and it still sounds more natural than a plural as a neutral. Just a personal issue with the English language there.

And on the side of people who are trans… I have seen sentiment that the whole asking pronouns things makes some people feel very uncomfortable. It’s a constant reminder of being born into the wrong body, and makes it feel like all the effort to pass and be their true selves is meaningless.

I think I’d rather offend a couple trenders that don’t understand language use than remind someone whose mental health is at stake about that and invalidate their efforts to pass with something so unnecessarily superficial.

Ffffffffffffffun thing!

Someone in a server I was in kept spamming Loss memes. Loss makes me think of losing. Loss memes make me lose The Game

As per the rules of The Game I announced I lost because I Loss The Game.

Now Loss = Lose The Game.

We have been freed if the Loss memes. The Game has freed us.

Btw I lost The Game.

… rice, beans, and a $15 rice cooker?

I’m as lazy as they get in the kitchen. If I can’t throw it in a pot, walk away, and walk back to food then it’s too much effort.

Rice and beans is cheap, quick, and easy.

Carnism is one hell of a drug. Hope you can escape it soon OP. Good luck.

Same for all the others here still trapped in the beliefs of carnism.

Awww. That’s what I get for browsing before I’m awake.

Still looks cool at least.
