don’t worry, you won’t even really know because your brain will degrade so fast.

this shit is basically public service against the loneliness epidemic

we’re all just faking it, hoping nobody looks under the hood

including your therapist.

a mean, a significant chunk of the pop was too drunk or strung out on opiates to really care about anything… so that helped.

it’s all monads bro.

god bless Leibniz.

they mean they make up random shit on the internet because it makes them feel superior to whitey. likely being whitey themselves, but not like those other whiteys who are so sarcastic and cultural destructive, no sir.

have you tried being batshit crazy though?

it’s a lot of fun, as you may have briefly noticed. a lot more fun than being normie

where is the lemmy community for those who self-host chip fabrication?

everyone else is a poseur.

I’ve got one of those.

The most important skill is being able to talk to people and communicate… and being able to document shit in a useful manner for other people.

the technology skills are largely irrelevant.

tell that to the truckload of tape backups I just had e-wasted.

You can have a totally secure network and will never fail.

But nobody will ever be able to do anything useful on it because it will break every useful connection and ban every useful protocol on which most of your programs run.

I mean the basic principles are very simple.

It’s the scaling and the speed of it all that you can’t really understanding. Also all the hackneyed unoptimized solutions that hold it all together that we’re totally dependent on to this day.

You don’t what to know how the internet works.

It’s boring and it’s complex and it’s fragile and basically dependent on corporations and nations being nice to each other.

Much more exciting to agonize about your self hosted DNS server.

Say what you will about big cities but no one gives a damn about you and its great. Someone rude to you? You can literally never see them again. It’s wonderful.

Lol what, i have lived in a big city my entire life and had plenty of nosy weird neighbors who got up in my shit because they were old and bored. and just random strangers come up to me and start trying to start a fight or whatever because they are just weird and miserable.

my life in a small town, was relatively free of any of that. i remember in my hometown nobody ever bothered us. it was glorious.

Home prices in my area are falling by 5-10 percent.

everyone is becoming femboys with animal tails. and they are so sexy that normie men have lost interest in normie women.

that’s the problem.

they aren’t poor. they are rich. they have the best healthcare and the best hospitals in the friggin’ world. literally, the best hospital for maternity in the entire USA is about a 15m drive from my home.

your point would only make sense if it was in a rural area with poor incomes, which indeed, have awful healthcare outcomes and is the majority of america, sadly.

their issue is not healthcare access. it’s that they spend 50K a year traveling and think it’s unfair and awful and they want to spend closer to 500K a year traveling, and the idea of having to like, only travel twice a year and have a kid is unfathomable awful to them. even the richest mofos in USA basically think kids are too expensive even thought they can easily afford them.

meanwhile all my friends who have kids, don’t travel at all and don’t go out to expensive restaurants. funny that.

I don’t, because I don’t like being around people who jerk themselves off about how empathic they are for feeling bad for poor people on the street. Just like I don’t like folks who jerk themselves off about how amazing they are and who talk in absolute and hyperbole.

which is, a large percentage of the userbase here, for sure. according to like 40% of the users here, nobody has ever suffered as they have, and nobody is more empathic to the plight of the unfortunate as they are. and yeah, why the fuck would anyone want to be friends with those people… well probably other people like them so they can jerk each other off about how they use Linux and they’re saving the world from billionaires by doing so.

weirdly enough, my friends and I in the real world, volunteer in our communities and do shit that helps homeless folks. I’ve literally helped homeless people apply for jobs. But apparently that means i have no empathy, because I’d rather help folks directly than walk home from the bar drunk and feel bad for them… weird!

almost as if the cure to feeling sorry for yourself and that the world is shit… is going out there and improving it, and not being a whiny miserable cunt of a person who jerks themselves off about how great they are online, or at the bar. because there are plenty of folks like that at the bar too.

implying children aren’t a financial burden implies you’re wealthy.

the original post says ‘cost’ and the other person goes ‘cost isn’t a reason for me’.

so i go ‘ok how much do you make that cost isn’t a reason for you?’ because the legit reason for the vast majority of folks, is the cost. they can’t afford kids, so they don’t have them.

it’s not, but keep telling yourself that because it makes you feel smart and important, no doubt.

we will invent better crops dude. humans are incredibly successful at adapting to changing climate conditions, it’s the reason our species is all over the fucking planet, even in the harshest environments.
