Being a parent is maddening. You think you’d do better with your own children until you experience the 24/7/365 stress that children inherently bring upon their parents. Few people escape childhood undamaged. Life has never been easy or perfect for anyone.

I’m fifty years old.

I guess there’s nothing left to comment. It’s all been said.

Alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, Hulu, Netflix, Xbox, PlayStation, Disney+, HBO, Tesla vehicles, dating apps,

Because in preparation for the eclipse, people were searching for ways to prevent hurting their eyes.

So you were standing there all uncomfortably in the kitchen while you typed that out with your thumbs? You did send a good message though. Everything you said is pretty true except I don’t think most people would want to store their phone in their cabinet. Our phones are not only addictive, but if we can get past that addiction they still come in handy and they are essential to daily life.

Chicken are birds. And you know what they say about birds. They’re not real.

Did you write that on your phone? Or on your computer? Same addiction.

How about feathers? Straight to jail?

“discluded”

First comes love

Then comes m̶a̶r̶r̶i̶a̶g̶e̶ JD divorces his brown wife & starts paying her child support

Then comes ̶a̶ ̶b̶a̶b̶y̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶a̶b̶y̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶r̶i̶a̶g̶e̶ Do whatever you want, JD & Erika. You’re g̶r̶o̶w̶n̶ corrupt adults.

Comfortable slavery is preferable to hard-fought-and-won freedom?

Sounds like a matter of preference. How about if we give people the option for comfortable slavery or to work really hard to earn freedom.

I am sad that that’s true.

After we die, do all of our character flaws get washed clean as if they never happened?

Lemmy user dondelelcaro thinks it might be this amazing lady: Timnit Gebru who has been working in the area of the ethics of AI for quite some time.

don’t get why some people have a problem with that.

I have bipolar disorder. I see doctors for this. Saturday October 25th I took a shower and I went to work. Next day I went to work too. That night I drove 2 hours to prepare for an athletic event on Monday morning. I did the athletic event which took all day and then I went to bed. I was in bed from Tuesday to Friday. Friday morning I finally took a shower again.

That snapshot of my life from Tuesday to Friday is my dark side of bipolar disorder. Lay in bed. Can’t move. Stare at phone. Lemmy, YouTube, eat, sleep, pee, poop, repeat for 4 days until something makes me snap out of it which today was the obnoxious infuriating sound of a leafblower outside my bedroom window. And just like that I got out of bed & took a shower. It was quite a relief to finally be able to move after feeling trapped in bed for 4 days.

Ok then mental sports need to have their own separate Olympics.

Because Olympics originated as a competitive showcase of the world’s peak physical prowess.

My only problem is that I’m obsessed with health & fitness.

I choose not to adapt to a sick obese society.

And if that makes me an outlier and you think I need to be medicated in order to conform to all the fat slobs in the world,

Then let’s just please never meet. I’m frolicking at a nude beach right now and you probably wouldn’t feel comfortable here.

Learn from that skeleton. He learned too late. Live to read. Read to live.

Nobody is grossed-out by their own dandruff. We’re grossed-out by other people’s dandruff.
