“battle through”. :)

I feel like you are young… Im more like the old soldier who is tired of fighting, and going into retirement.

My least favorite day is Monday because it all starts again, the week, from the beginning, just like it has 750 times before in the last 15 work years. It’s really getting old by now.

Yep I was thinking the same. I guess it’s a generational thing. Instagram is maybe like water to some young people, can’t be without it or life is sad.

I think a lot of unhappy people would exit the simulation… :)

I don’t think we will get to that level. It doesn’t make sense financially. I mean sure, replace people with robots will happen but it’s a long way from happening right now.

Link doesn’t work. Probably it’s a scam/hack attempt.

I hope they ended up with miserable lives. But I don’t know.

Probably for the best. Most of us die if there is a nuclear war, so just don’t even think about it. But live your life now.

I don’t think the world can prioritize something and the threat will go away.

I’m thinking I have 20 more years of being in working condition, so I’m planning to work less and travel more from next year already. Using my savings.

I don’t dare to wait until I’m 65 to do all those things. Many people get sick and don’t do anything.

You are describing me. :)

And yeah, I’m happy with my timeline. If anything, I would move it back even more. Born in the 60s would open up for a lot of cool stuff in the 70s.

I think maybe those words are true, but they are so generic they don’t say anything to me.

I think women has changed due to social media, and that’s causing the men loneliness.

Social media changed dating, and made it ok for both women and men to treat eachother as commodities, resources, status symbols.

This bleeds over in real life, where women don’t need/want to have relationships with men anymore (in real life) in the west (outside of their love relationship). They already get all the attention they need from hundreds of men on social media telling them they are beautiful.

A lot of western guys go for girls in Indonesia or Thailand these days, because they are kind and beautiful. Of course the girls see the opportunity to be with a guy from the west who has money. But it seems to work out. Both genders are often happy in those relationships, both get what they value from it.

People trust it because scientists make a model. They don’t think about that the model makes many assumptions and if any assumption is wrong, it fails.

When I was a kid, they said entire California would end up in the sea within a few years, since it’s on a earthquake fault line.

That was 1990. :)

I played poker with my girlfriend. Watched fireworks for maybe 10 minutes.

Don’t worry so much what everyone else is doing. I also don’t drink on new years eve.

The public is full of people who do what they are told by our culture. You can choose to follow or not. :)

Pathetic would be to go out and hate it, just because you are afraid of what others will think if you don’t.

It’s become much more moderated and controlled. I think reddit is actually less controlled. I’m seeing conversations about Swedish immigration that would never be allowed on Lemmy.

On the other hand, I saw that Luigi was not allowed to be mentioned in Reddit now in some subreddit… So… Lol.

Glad to see there are a few more people like me. :) Yeah that movie was a disaster but it appealed to the public apparently.

I strongly agree with you OP, about Hollywood. They can’t put actually ugly people in the movies so they try to act like someone is ugly when they are a complete stunner.

Another thing, in movies and TV shows they keep saying “you look tired”, to actors who look competely normal and really good. No difference at all from their normal looks. And yet, they keep doing that shit. Once you think about this, you get annoyed every time it happens.

Ok my movies are:

Oppenheimer. Such a boring movie and everyone loved it.

Gravity. George Clooney is a charming clown in space, doesn’t fit the story at all, and everyone liked it.

Probably more, but those are the absolute top rated ones that I don’t agree with the public on.

I meant the need to be protected by men.

I don’t know where that comes from. Emotionally repressed? I agree men doesn’t need to be emotionally repressed.

I live in Sweden. It was common with ethernet connections in the apartments when I was growing up. So not a time machine. But I could be getting the exact year wrong a little bit.

And it was 10 mbit connections, so that’s just about 1 mbyte / second. Still plenty fast when it arrived.

Today I have 500 mbit connection with option for 1000 mbit. It’s common here.

Edit: I asked chatgpt and it was 1999 that the first apartments got 10 mbit / sec connections. So I was off with about 5 years actually.
