They aren’t talking about empathy, this is something else. It’s about the guilt of feeling happiness in a world that seems like it’s going in the wrong direction.

That guilt is understandable, but when it becomes so pervasive that you feel the need to express that guilt on every single expression of joy, that seems unhealthy for society, and it makes people much less likely to join a movement.

If the server owner gives the bot access to those permissions and the users have activity sharing enabled, yep.

Best bad movie of all time. It’s one of a few that are consistently entertaining and never boring. I show it to people at least once a year.

I realized that I was accidentally voting on posts while scrolling in Jerboa.

This is very much just plain mental illness, but if you want to use it to justify being annoyed at all Americans in general, more power to you I guess.

The number of people I talk to who mindlessly regurgitate the “fact” that “most people are terrible” seems to be going up. Most people don’t act like they think that’s true, but once you really internalize that kind of misanthropy, assuming every interaction will be negative is how you go through the world.

Your assumptions about the world greatly impact how you interact with it, and when you stop looking for anything good, you’ll only see good things when they’re shoved in your face. It’s easy to justify your general malaise because you tell yourself everyone is like that.

Trans Wizard Harriet Porber by Chuck Tingle unironically slaps.

Push back when you see it. Remind them that we have a chance to reset, and they don’t have to act the same way here that they did on reddit.

Didn’t Juliette grow up down in maintenance? It might have been long enough to develop a slight different accent…

Hello fellow Longmonster! Nextlight is life!

Turns out you can click the link and find out! It links to a very short Bluesky post! Try it out! Lemmy has more than just headlines!

For real. It’s so frustrating how someone will just text “let’s hang out” or “let’s play games tonight” and it’s always me who has to go the extra step of “OK sure how about 7?”

Obviously the team that won had better people who were praying even harder.

I mean, there are absolutely things that you should do just to improve your approachability. Good hygiene, to start.

Chess is a war game. Killing and violence in general are devastating. It’d be interesting to compare the brain activity of a murderer with a grandmaster player. I have my suspicions about what we would see.

Eh, still about 50-50 with these people. I’ve sent an email with 4 nicely formatted and numbered questions and had them respond only to question 3. Like… You read some of it, decided to answer one, and then give up with no other acknowledgement? Shit is wild.

It’s honestly so many people! How did admitting you are wrong become so painful for so much of society?

Kung Fury is a self aware satire/homage. Breen is just incredible insanity.

Calls and easily sharing my screen are 90% of my use cases for Discord. The entire appeal of it initially was that it was a more functional Ventrilo with both text and voice channels. Hopefully something FOSS gets further developed by the time Discord completely shits the bed.

That’s fair, but for awhile that setting only worked on desktop, and various apps still may or may not respect the setting. I’ve never encountered someone who enjoys this being on be default.
