Sad internet addiction noises
Sad internet addiction noises
Before you tell me to touch grass, grass is kinda illegal here in the US (if you know what I mean by "grass" 😉).
It’s a good thing Lemmy is small, because you still run out of content faster. Less time staring at your phone is usually still a good thing.
I open Lemmy, "oh still the same top posts from 6 hours ago", goes back to doing whatever I was doing
Rare Lemmy L
Yeah but then I wonder if maybe there's so new good comments or some memes posted IN the comments that I might have missed. If you really have a problem you can have a problem on Lemmy too.
Back when I started with Reddit I remember sorting by new and thinking, jeez why would anyone sift through all this crap... Cut to me exclusively sorting by new all the time because I looked at ev.ry.thing. So yeah, this is nice. Though in the future it may be just as full. Cross that bridge when we come to it I guess.
Yeah I was surprised to see how fast I read the entirety of the greentext community here… but that’s a good thing, makes me realize it’s an addiction and forces me to stop
I usually open YouTube at that point...
I am bored of YouTube now
most of it is meaningless clickbait with dicksucking face and ALL CAPS TITLE
even good creators are nowadays forced to insert crap to make their videos over 8-10 mins long to please the algorithm
it feels like there is no organic content available even if there is, it is buried deeply inside
well at least Lemmy seems to be less toxic
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I have a PhD in online arguments, and I’ve been involved in numerous anonymous arguments with internet strangers, and I have won over 300 arguments online.
Talk dirty to me, daddy.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
I mean, it does feel like you’ve stepped back from the edge a bit. Like you’ve knocked off the black tar heroin in favor of crack.
Remember kids: it's completely acceptable to replace one addiction with another.
Maybe you'll find a new hobby.
Grass may be illegal, but that doesn’t stop me from taking massive rips before commenting
I have been living in the Pacific Northwest bubble for long enough that I forgot weed isn’t legal in a lot of places in the US. Literally raised an eyebrow while reading the subtext before remembering
Hey man, that's like,
Different drug, same addiction haha
Though for what it's worth, I do find it easier to pull myself off of Kbin than I did Reddit
I like that kbin and Lemmy aren't going to have an entire team of people doing continuous A/B testing to find what drives the most engagement.
Much less chance of this ending up as a dopamine slot machine.
Thankfully Lemmy isn't really good, and has rather limited amount of functionalities and content comparing to Reddit so I'd say I'm good and not addicted anymore 😉
I spend less time on Lemmy than I did on Reddit. I think I just found other things to do.
Lemme fix that for you
Not to speak for everyone, but those of us in parts of the country where grass is not illegal really appreciate that grass is not illegal. If we can't have meaningful change in other areas, at least we can soften the blow.
Well, lemmy feelsmore like a home than Reddit.
I'm not addicted to anything other than dodging mu uncomfortable feelings.
Which I am super addicted to so I end up on lemmy alot!
Mission accomplished
Recreational is completely legal in NJ. To the point where employers cannot make a decision to hire or fire based on your cannabis use unless they can provide hard evidence that you were using on the job.
You just can't cross state lines with any amount.Still federally illegal. I wouldn't try it as long as it's still on the books. A change in administration could easily direct federal agents to enforce the controlled substances act
Lol? If you're in NJ, and you want to smoke weed, Johnny Law in the DEA isn't going to kick down your door and stop you.
The cops here can smoke weed. There are literally no arrests for recreational amounts now.Oh, come on, live a little 😒.
the memes on Lemmy are so good that I feel like I haven't seen good relevant simple memes in like a decade.
I actually find I scroll longer - the content is better ha.
it feels much more fresh and spacious
Im not there yet. Help me get addicted to Lemmy, please.
grass is kinda illegal here in the US
Meanwhile, in Illinois, I'm passing by my local dispensery everyday for work, selling CBD products at work...
A federal agent can still arrest you, unless you're talking about THC8, which isn't even real "grass"
One needs to be registered to buy at the dispensary but you only need to be 21 or over to buy CBD products.
