  • I, too, am tired of the constant pessimism. Almost everything is improving all the time.

    On Lemmy it seems the biggest crisis is Google trying to make money off user data (as they always have been). Some people legitimately need to go outside and stop measuring world health by what mass media is currently telling them.








  • I saw a video of someone teaching himself to like celery, and coerced my girlfriend to do the same - it works!

    You literally just start by nibbling a bit every day and start eating more and more as you can handle it. She loves celery now, to the point where she just eats it raw as snacks.

    Whether it’s worth the apparent torture is up to you. To be frank, picky eaters give me second hand embarrassment when out dining, since you can teach yourself to like basically everything. Usually it’s just people who didn’t get much variety as children.





  • No, I don’t think there is a “not insignificant” number of people who would jump ship. We’re literally just a few nerds who dislike the monolithic corporate structure and care about privacy. Stop pretending the whole world is in the same boat. It’s turning into a weird tinfoil conspiracy.

    It’s fine that we like it here, and I’m glad that we have an alternative, but people need to wake up and realize this isn’t some huge activist movement where we’re pwning “the man”. They don’t give two shits about these dumbass protests. They will do whatever necessary to continue growing and earning money. So stop giving a shit about them, stop talking about reddit, and just be happy users have the power with Lemmy.
