This oversized shirt! It’s soooo comfy and cozy and roomy. It’s been my favorite wardrobe staple for months now! Plus it’s got a cool fish on the pocket.

Endless content can definitely lead to a more addictive platform. Because it’s trying to encourage more users to generate their own content, there’s certainly less of it, bit definitely less garbage to wade through.

That said, I feel that I’m learning more, sharing more, and interacting with others more.

It’s also much nicer than R×ddit, because I’ve seen so much less: ragebait, fake stories, sensationalism, intentional factual inaccuracies/disinformation, shilling, shitty bots, etc.

What about a platypus? It could be considered part/half-duck. Or even duck-like!

I had to do this recently with one of my sisters.

She’s so self-centered to the point where I just can’t stand her, and she keeps crossing boundaries that I have repeatedly set.

Turns out, my mother begrudgingly admitted “She’s not malicious, she’s just mind-numbingly stupid.” I observed quietly for some time, and… yeah. She’s just stupid. That’s the only way I can’t be mad at her, so that’s what is keeping the peace between us.

“How do I be normal?”

…

“Dammit.”

Is this real? I so dearly want this to be real.

Thank god my bitches are safe.

Is the entire comment removed or just certain words?

I did use the word “b×tch” in there a couple times.

Success = hard work.

Hard work = not lazy.

Not lazy = good.

Rich / successful people = good people (unless they’re involved in godless entertainment, of course)

Not successful = not working hard enough.

Not working hard enough = lazy.

Lazy = bad.

Poor / unsuccessful people = bad people

They do not think hard enough to see nuance. They just don’t.

An old friend of mine once ranted to me about how poor women will keep popping out babies to get free government money & food. Like… bitch, do you know how actually difficult it is to get “”“free money”“” from the government? Are you seriously mad that children are being fed? Do you think that poor people fund their “lavish lifestyles” off government funds? BITCH, POOR PEOPLE DON’T DO THAT!!! RICH PEOPLE DO!!!

We broke up eventually and haven’t talked in years, unfortunately. So… maybe!

I’ve been playing it since it released! Played it on my old Gameboy color back in the day, too, so this has been really fun to relive.

Ronald is still a straight-up bastard, just like I remember.

The “card pop” feature will never really work on the Switch, will it…?

I think I ramble too much to be mistaken for a bot.

ADHD gang.

How would someone go about sniffing out chatbots, though? Legit question.

I think your brian might be malfunctioning.

Having an interest in sharing something with you without making you feel stupid about it.

Went to about art museum with a guy, and he was super excited to tell me about certain pieces and artists and their history. He was very kind when I asked questions about things that were probably very obvious to a more studious person.

Was on his arm by the end of the date. Absolutely smitten!

…what’s in the links?

I have the same thought sometimes, but you can’t help someone who refuses help. They’re essentially hurting you in that way, and that’s not something that love can ever fix.

It’s not selfish to think about your own well-being in a relationship. It’s like a drowning person continually holding onto you because they’re afraid of dying alone: you both end up drowning.

You can’t keep hurting yourself for someone who keeps stepping into danger. Eventually, they need to learn to take another route. If they refuse or show that they really just can’t, that’s not a failing on you. You should not feel guilty for that. You’re important, too.

Doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck, of course. But it’s not your fault. You tried. You loved them. It’s okay. It’s not your fault.

He had a lot of mental health issues that he just wouldn’t get help with.

He ended up being upset a lot because I didn’t “react the way [he] wanted me to”. In the end, I really did care about him a lot, but his clinginess and codependency on me was far too much for me to handle. He made it clear that he was unhappy, but also depended on me to make him happy. I tried very hard, but it was never good enough. Did my best to encourage and support him, but he just couldn’t do right for himself.

He really was such a beautiful person, but loving someone is often not enough.

I really do hope that he is doing well now, wherever he is.

I mean yeah. Welcome to the internet. Lemmy is pretty okay, all things considered.
