This has driven me crazy for a long time too. It really feels like this picture and takes something away from any enjoyment.

The kitchen disco requires really good headphones. You don't get ear covering sound without a jack.
I was shocked when he got a gov't contract after he admitted to all that fuckery in Ukraine. Wtf is happening in gov't???
This is what I came here for
Organic ,non bot, actual real conversation, is not going to skyrocket. It's going to grow like a real world thing. This is good imo
All my adult life, his books have been a refuge from (in order of era)
Conspicuous consumption
Boomer narcissism
Yuppies
Reaganomics .........
Fundamentalism , extreme Christianity
Class warfare
White supremacy
........
More recently he has laser focused on
Societal roles
Nuerodivergence
Scalding the hell out of Trump and maggats
He's literally a moral and ethical compass for many and can reach us when we are young.
As he and I have aged, he's literally been a comfort in the way he writes about our actual ghosts snd what haunts us.
He's brilliant ,I'm a huge fan can you tell? Cheers
I wasn't serious when I said I'd fall in line behind you. Emojis on are a world wide phenomenon. If it doesn't appeal to you then move on. Are you this controlling and intolerant irl? Or are you just petty online? Since you seem to lack social nuance, I'll be clear, I don't really care by asking these questions. I am asking you to ask yourself. Pettiness and coercion are also a social cancer
I've loved the thoughtful discourse on Lemmy, I've grown weary of seeing news about reddit in the feed. Reddit died long before this last bit, becoming a haven for a particular, ill informed, consensus seeking group.
Then tonight, I had a reddit moment here on Lemmy where some non socialized, rude, consensus seeking user wanted to snipe and sounded like an over protected , suburban, adolescent boy.
I haven't seen one of those here yet and they are the absolute plague of open discourse .
Please Lemmy, don't let it go on.
Excuse me, I said hey rude ass, I've never used Tumblr. So, why don't you tell me what this is then, tell me so I can fall in line with your expectations.

Same here , the other day I thought to myself "how the fuck did I get poor again??!!" Two years ago I was feeling pretty proud! I'm deep in the letter writing currently, one I'll give to my employer.
I feel this, but more along the line of chosen ignorance rather than actual stupidity. Either a new topic us overwhelming or they worry\fear they'll get it "wrong". Also, being from the south, where so much has been politicized, they fear the tribal back lash of thinking for themselves. I don't know what's wrong with me, I was never the type to "go with it".
