That doesn’t sound super optional

Are there methods to deal with this sort of exhaustion from… gestures broadly at everything ?

Before you put the blame on everything outside - not being judgemental, it’s definitely not going great out there - have you gotten checked out by a doctor? Exhaustion might just be because the world is in shambles, but it’s just as likely to be because of something fixable - depression, some thyroid disorders and iron deficiency all present in the same way as what you describe.

I refuse to participate in a two-tiered web of the power users who get to use free services uninterrupted and the bulk of everyday users who have to pay for it with ad garbage.

This section is one of the most insane takes that I’ve seen recently.

He… he realizes that ad blockers aren’t some secret voodoo, right? They’re not paid, they require no setup, and they’re trivial to find and install. At their simplest, they’re literally just a browser plugin, installable in the same way that casual users already install themes.

It sounds like they’re deeply invested in their hobby (which is great) at the expense of other things (which is not great), and I’d say that is relatively common. It’s a shame that it isn’t a hobby that you share, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing.

When you say “let’s just sit and talk,” what are you trying to talk about?

…what? No, I don’t see that at all

lol, that pansy has never done a day of hard work in his life.

lol, came here to say my favorite part was that you can’t even get them all

This would technically only be true for cakes with filling - a normal cake doesn’t have 6 sides of carbs, it’s all the way through.

However your statement makes it seem like all homeless people have some kind of dangerous psychological issues, and that is a wild accusation.

He never said anything like this, and specifically called out pretty low probabilities throughout his comment.

he’s getting paid to just act how I’m imagining he acts normally

He’s a comedian and he’s good at his job. It’s absolutely a role.

These large conspiracy theories are always absurd because our government can’t both be eminently incompetent and also full of scheming masterminds, able to keep hundreds or thousands of people from spilling secret plans. You have to pick one.

DrLupo. I watched him a bunch when he was on twitch, but he got kinda arrogant and negative over the years. Now I watch the people he used to play with before he changed 🤷‍♂️

The issue with either is from the risk of popping/leaking: if your pillow leaks, your entire mattress might be fucked. The risk vastly outweighs the improvement

I’m not a weirdo, so I don’t. My friends don’t have to buy into my version of wasting time

Eh, you’re close, just backwards - if both parents have blue eyes, the child is (more-or-less) guaranteed to have blue eyes.

Yeah, at this point “Engineer” and “Developer” are 100% synonymous in the industry.

Ehhhh, depends on how your titles work, and I would argue that’s at least a little odd. Most senior engineers I know are ~50/50 code/oversight, at worst. Once you get to Principal or Staff, though, you’re lucky if you write 50 loc/week.

Senior rarely translates to something like architect anymore, it’s at least a level or two up from there.

Constant urges to nap and trouble getting up afterwards are both common (but in no way definitive) symptoms of depression. Definitely above Lemmy’s pay grade - you need to talk to a doctor/therapist. Absolutely do not take antidepressants without consulting them.

Being suspicious of people in hoodies isn’t racist 🙄 if you only got nervous around black people in hoodies, then sure, but there’s nothing wrong with being cautious of people who are concealing their identity. They might not be wearing it for that reason, but that’s still something it does.

I don’t think there ihas been any official statements, but at least two of his properties were raided by DHS, and when they conduct raids it is most often for human trafficking cases. While the raids were ongoing, PD was flying to (I believe) NYC, but diverted to a Caribbean island.
