One time I went on a dating app date, was nice. Met her again at a party, went on for drinks just the two of us, made out, she walked me home. Then I had a horrible, horrible bout of depression where I didn’t check my phone at all for about two months. So, that’s one instance of what’s going on in the persons mind.
Ikr? I have to use YouTube a specific way. I’ll go to a channel and go to the tab that just lists the videos chronologically. I’ll go back there if I want a second video. The only way I find new creators I enjoy watching is through recommendation/someone sending a link to a group chat. Shame really, I bet there’s plenty of content out there that I’d enjoy, but I can’t handle the algorithm.
I think the Facebook thing is because it was more or less the first social media that pretty much everyone was on. Everything before was a little more niche. But back in, like, 2010, it felt like you were missing out if you weren’t on FB. At least that’s my experience/guess (I’m 27 and in middle Europe).
Lemmy is the only one I’ll log onto and the only one I have as an app.
Sometimes though, I’ll miss a super specific community from the place spez ruined, and scroll through it in DuckDuckGo browser.
Anything that has an intransparent, engagement driving, ad laden algorithm that determines what you do and don’t see is thoroughly unappealing to me. At least now that I’m a little more tech savvy and anti-corporate.
I guess I do technically have a Facebook account still because I don’t remember the password of either that account or the associated email address. I used that for local flea market and food sharing groups up until maybe 6 years ago.
I tried this and I died after about 3 minutes.
I have one singular belly hair that is like 2-3cm long and not even in the centre. It’s like ten centimetres to the side of my belly button. The rest of my belly hair is peach fuzz (part black part white). That one also always regrows.
Edit: I have a few nose hairs that are black and a bit more course than usual face fuzz. Like maybe about ten?
Man this would be me if I could afford both booze and a bike. I guess the health side effects of not drinking to safe money are nice though!
Now if only it kept me away from the Wikipedia rabbit hole haha
For me personally, having to reboot is part of why I like my dual boot. I have adhd, so it’s good to keep gaming entirely separate from anything productive.
I don’t really get how hurting an animal and then NOT eating it, just for fun, is better than killing for food
I’ve tried cowashing before! I have a lot of hair, but thin individual strands, and it kinda made it too hydrated (idk how else to explain) so I lost my waves.
Do you never use shampoo? I personally only even wet my hair once or twice a week, then wash with shampoo though.
If they stopped working, they would eventually have to worry. That is the fundamental difference.
Almost all of them have to work to live somewhat comfortably. They also have to do their own housework and childcare in addition to paid labour, which rich people do not. Both of those, especially in combination, are stressful. Stress ages you.
Once you get to a certain amount of wealth, you never have to do labour again, paid or otherwise, unless you want to.
Not to mention that they can’t afford dieticians, personal trainers, aestheticians, etc., as the rich do.
We had Minecraft and Lego as kids as well and still played outside a lot. I thought that mix was still mostly normal, is it not?
