Way too much emphasis on making it look like a calendar app. It should just be a list at that point.

Here’s another answer!

a) we want to be social

It’s in our nature to want to be around other people. It helps us feel safe, create a sense of belonging, is amusing, and provides us with rich experiences that are hard or not possible to achieve on our own. Lots of simple reasons why people want to hang out.

b) but we have an ego

But everyone is walking about with a very intimate/personal concept of self that instructs them how to behave, how to feel, how to respond. Our feelings and thoughts in each moment are shaped by our sense of identity. Our identity isn’t actually a fixed, immutable thing. It is constantly shifting, working to conform or be different or just prevent itself from collapsing entirely. The self responds to the environment the same way out bodies do.

c) being social

So we’re home alone and wanting some company because we’re feeling lonely, but then we arrange ourselves to spend time with others and suddenly our self is on high alert because it’s being observed by others. Am I being genuine? Do people like me? Am I talking enough, or too much? Do I look ok? Did I wear the right clothes? Can I share this opinion? What should I say about that? Every conscious thought and unconscious pattern is at play, pulling and poking your sense of self and it can be disorientating and scary.

Yes that’s for sure what’s happening. If I come across an account that does this I delete the account. No point in keeping an account that I need to ‘re-register’ if I sign in once or twice a year.

I usually binge a specific channel in a new subject then youtube blasts me with whatever they think will engage me the most and it’s always the trashiest content. Big red arrows, all caps, surprised faces, misleading thumbnails.

no one wants to hear your bitchin

I have no complaints about the Deptford trilogy

This isn’t a place for bigots but everyone else is welcome

It’s a problem because it’s not just Trump, it’s whole party that has gone way off the rails. Bundy could run but he wouldn’t win.

There’s only like 3 rules to becoming president and one is age and other is being an american. The bar is intentionally low.

It’s why I went back to reddit. I check in here occasionally to check. I can handle the reddit hive if I limit where and how I participate. But the hardcore political ideologies sprinkled everywhere in lemmy ruin even a limited browsing experience for me.

I’ll just piggy back onto this and say that downvotes come when people have generalized views and assume these are facts.

And downvotes my way are usually because I don’t care about people’s feelings on the internet.

Kind of, but it’s not a miracle cure or escape. I tried exercising while depressed and I tried exercising after I learned how to manage depression. It never cured my depression but it is part of managing it. It’s part of a healthy life style, which is part of taking care of myself, which is part of not feeling like I hate myself and my life.

I keep going to the gym because I enjoy it and it’s an excellent way for me to vent emotions, no matter what my mood is.

Working from home made me realize how much I hate working in an office environment.

Not bad, not great. I buy my veggies from a grocery that specializes in that, it’s much cheaper and less plastic. No yogurt? No solid/brick cheese? No nuts and dried fruit? No canned beans or dried beans? Peanut butter?

What you really need is a $/portion table to see what’s actually expensive here.

I think the muffins tip you over the edge into junk food land. They are very empty and basically the same as the rolls, the kraft dinner, and whatever is in the red box. A fair bit of this stuff is basically sugar and bread.

I often think that we just happen to live in very large communities that are more or less the same as they’ve been throughout the history of our entire species. It’s made me feel a lot more connected to everyone around me because they don’t feel like strangers anymore, they feel like extended family, in a way.

But I still love flipping people off, I just don’t mean much by it. Like a gesture that says ‘wtf are you doing you idiot’

I don’t think it’s far fetched to call non-religion a type of belief but to compare them further than that is missing the point of atheism.

Missing a gym, physio, and doctors clinic.
