  • I noticed that a lot of my friends who are really online think that everyone will always agree with them.

    My theory is that this happens because they are used to their algorithm only showing them content/comments of things they agree with and since that makes the bulk of interactions with other people, they think everyone is like that.

    Also dehumanizing people who they aren’t politically aligned with. I think that people who “touch grass” more often, deal with people all over the political spectrum so they can separate the human side from the politics side.

    These are just my theories btw I don’t have evidence aside from my anecdotes. A sample pool of like 10 people lol so clearly not enough




  • You must not be outside then

    In the communities where this music is popular, there are definitely a lot of classic songs coming out that aren’t just background noise, and they actually turn up the clubs.

    To people outside of these communities it might seem like they only survive 5 years, but if you’re inside you’ll recognize patterns in songs that keep coming up and that people listen to the most. That’s what really makes them classics, not just random people on Lemmy deeming them as such.

    Bad bunny, El Alfa, Tokischa, Chucky73, RaiwAlejandro, and Daddy Yankee have all been relasing songs that the community will remember for a long time and deem classics. Reggaeton is going through a second, smaller, golden age and it will be remembered.

    Your comment sounds a bit racist ngl





  • I recently started playing Divinity Original Sin 2, and I went through this problem as well until I changed the way I approached the game.

    I just let go of trying to make the most optimized decisions and instead just make the decision I, or my character would make (if I’m role playing).

    I just realized that no matter what decision I make, it will still lead me to finish the game. If I really want to, later I can go back and play it again to see more of the game. Only if I like my first play-through though.






  • This happens in my family all the time.

    I had a dream with my aunt. She was in an all white dress in a field waving goodbye at me and she was yelling stuff at me but I couldn’t quite make it out. I was trying to get to her, but I couldn’t get past a fence even though it was like 2 feet tall and I could easily jump over it. It felt like it was a goodbye. After a while I stopped trying to understand and get to her, and just waved goodbye, then the dream ended.

    I woke up and wrote my dream down and went on with my day. It wasn’t until later l found out she had passed away. I was like 10 and at that time and I was very scared, so I didn’t tell my mom about my dream until years later. She told me that happens often in my family

    I don’t necessarily believe in the supernatural either, but some things I don’t think can be explained. Like if it happens once I get it, but this has happened multiple times. I’ve seen my brother wake up from a dream and tell us about how he said goodbye to a family member only to right then and there find out they had passed away. I cannot explain it


  • This reminds me of an old friend I had at work.

    She was in HR and looking to hire a new employee and she complained to me about how all the people applying weren’t from the country and they weren’t capable of doing the job because they didn’t know how to behave…

    At the end of her small rant I guess she realized I was one of those “outsiders” and then she said “oh but you’re one of the good ones!”





  • I have a couple from the a warehouse job I worked at when I was 16. That place was wild lmao

    • Fired from unplugging security cameras to charge his phone
    • 30yo man harassing a 17yo girl
    • That man’s wife fighting the 17yo girl for “flirting” with her husband even though she wasn’t
    • Got on top of some shelves and took a nap. These shelves are really tall and you need a lift to get on top of them

    These weren’t on their first day, but I thought they are worth mentioning

    • Racing during lunch in the parking lot
    • 10+ person brawl in the parking lot over a guy stealing another guy’s girlfriend
    • A guy left his keys in his car so another guy just broke the window. He said he thought it was funny and that he got the bit from a movie, tv, or comedian or something
    • A couple people got caught taking lunch on top of the shelves in a corner because the lunchroom was too loud. They also had a bed up there made up bubble wrap and yoga mats
    • Going full speed into a door with a forklift while the forks were fully lifted
    • Doing BMX tricks off the truck dock. I think people were riding skateboards off it too but I can’t remember 100%

    That’s all the entertaining ones I can think of right now lol
