Its friday!
  • You'll find no Netflix, Lemmy, or Weed on Maslows heirarchy of needs, and yet most of us rely solely on these things for enjoyment.

    Idk I feel like those three fit into the first three tiers easily. You'd be stretching for them for sure, but Netflix and Weed could be safety and psychological needs met. Lemmy is social. Sure there are better ways to fulfill those needs perhaps in healthier ways, but to say you won't fill any needs via those things is wrong imo.

  • Another World is Possible
  • I mean I hear you but the top three posts talk to a depressing dystopian present. Even this one reminds us of our past and current oppression.

    I trust many find comfort in these memes but all I see is reminders of a world I don't like.

  • Crosswalk rule
  • They work in my town just outside a large metro area in the US.

    That said, no one seems to actually use them here and are always crossing traffic at the worst times.

    It's really frustrating to watch people of every age playing chicken with cars daily.

  • Missed rent payments could soon damage your credit score — and tenants’ advocates are very concerned
  • I think there is also upside here by formally allowing renters to positively affect their credit history through consistent renting.

    Homeowners and credit card owners can improve their credit via consistent payments, why not renters?

    (Yes, I do know there are ways to have your lease impacting your credit but they aren't a default and many renters would benefit from the credit boost this could enable)

  • Wage Slave Rule
  • I'm nearly at 7 with my employer and I've found the situation to be quite good and I see no sign yet to jump ship. There's still good gigs out there.

    I'm sure the person you are responding to had good reason to stick around 20 years. It's possible only recently did the math not work out for them.

  • 'The gold rush is over:' Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon devs say that big Game Pass and Epic exclusive deals have dried up for indie devs
  • You do realize those are usually exclusive for only a year, right? So EGS pays them out for a year of exclusivity and then the devs are free to launch on steam and others.

    The thing is, often if they don't get that first infusion of cash from a deal with EGS (or another investor) they don't get to complete or even launch the game at all. So it never would make it to the other markets.

  • BitTorrent is No Longer the 'King' of Upstream Internet Traffic
  • Pretty sure folks are referring to streaming sites meaning like Netflix. The person you are responding to said "click and go" referring to services like YouTube and Hulu not sketchy "streaming" sites like what you are describing that require some hoops to go through to make sure.you don't download a virus.

  • Me_irl
  • they almost certainly saw you

    Nah, there's not enough info to know that or even assume it. People are not perfectly aware of their surroundings or others looking at them

  • Birds
  • then I look at myself and wonder, who the hell is this?

    Someone with passion for the world they live in! I have the same experience with the Merlin app after a friend suggested I download it last year. It's so fun seeing real time identification of multiple birds at once

  • Go off Dark Brandon Jr
  • So what, we should eat shit and die and suffer and not be excited about things that feel like small victories?

    The pov you're providing is bleak and grim. We aren't dumb, we know we're fucked and our election sucks. We can focus on multiple things at a time and we can laugh at our political idiots while also being mad at them.
