I would prefer to use Lemmy, but it simply doesn’t have some things that reddit currently has. It could in the future, but it doesn’t have the user base yet.

That’s very true. But, it’s something that appears to be way more common that it uses to be.

There are a few that have DC 30 and can’t be broken. That’s not impossible, but it’s still hard even with a character built for it.

Maybe I’m just missing some crucial info, but an amusement park seems like a fundamentally different thing than software.

Link?

Honestly, I bet he has the skills, he just didn’t use them because he didn’t care, or is overworked, or for whatever reason.

The headline is pretty old. Still funny.

It’s not forbidden.

Forced relocation of more than 20 miles or so (some reasonable amount that doesn’t require a move) should not allow a company to get out of severance. That should be illegal.

It really depends on the topic. The big topics in Lemmy are better. But there’s a lot of niche content that just isn’t there.

Why do you put maliciousness in quotes?

Kids absolutely can be malicious. Sure, it’s a small scale but kids can absolutely manipulate. Asking for an apple , if they really just want an apple, is not manipulation because it’s not malicious. Little Susie telling her sister Jess to give her her soda or shell tell their parents about how the window broke is 100% manipulative though.

By my ex wife.

Sure, but usually the term manipulation has a negative connotation.

In a sense, when my kid asks for fruit, they are manipulating me. But that’s not what anyone means. They mean a kind of devious persuasion.

I forgot to mention, the life saving divorce, while I wouldn’t say it change my life, was helpful at that time.

So, you mean, it’s changed your life because of the effect it has had in other people?

My story is a little different, but I resonate with that kind of change. After I found out my ex wife was cheating on me, it started the process of taking a lot of blinders off. I feel like I see reality better, but I do feel much more disheartened in trying to date.

Does that stand up when everything goes to hell?

Oh no… Anyway…

One thing no one seems to be mentioning, is finding a purpose. A reason that things are worth it even when they aren’t good.

What is your reason for living, your hope, even when shit hits the fan?

And?
