the reality is that incompetent managers love to blame their employees for not doing shit they never told them to do.

why?

i can run like 15 but i fucking hate every second of it. it’s so BORING.

so you’re a normal person then?

keep trying little smurf.

that’s not fun and dramatic and clickbaity though

framerates and graphics are all that matters. clearly

Nah, Mario clash was fun

yes, yes, and yes.

and i no longer like any of those things.

yeah. the platforms aren’t so bad in and of themselves, it’s the engagement algorithms that turn everything to shit.

just like IG, YT, video/music stremaing etc. you could stumble upon random and interesting shit… now the algo is just trying to shove kendrick lamar and joe rogan at me none stop because that is what is ‘popular’ and whatever shitty movie that netflix is trying to promote.

browsing is dead and search is also mostly broken. you can’t even effectively search for shit anymore.

the only place i can freely browse anymore is my local library. and discover lots of cool things. that experience on the internet is dead.

the vast majority of nutbags with low key mental issues i meet are social media addicts who furiously want to bring their ‘curated’ image into the real world and force others to worship them.

the others nutbags are homeless folks.

irrational belief based on fantasy fuels people to action a lot more than rational belief based in reality.

because the former is exciting and meaningful, the latter is boring and mundane.

hence why the crazies tend to believe in cabal conspiracies of evil people whom they must fight against. whereas your average voter is like ‘who do i want to have a beer with and make me feel like i’m doing better financially… i’ll vote him’

my experience is that people are idiots. no matter where you go irl or on the internet. and will willfully be offended at the slightest disagreement or hint that they wont’ get their way.

‘just go somewhere else!’ - this is the same thinking that is the usa housing and immigration crisis. head in the sand nonsense, blaming other people, and then jerk yourself off about what a saint and divine patron of lemmy you are.

So are internet comments are terrorism now?

Sad to see how quick lemmy is becoming reddit. I’ve already had lots of DMs from hateful angry folks with rage problems who take words on their web browser way too seriously.

and the dumbos who go around downvoting all your comments because of one they didn’t like.

why free when you can make money?

it’s not mandatory to have a job or a car or a house.

but the vast majority of us want those things and a life without them is pretty shitty.

Yes. my major complaint in life is that most of my dates want to date a man who is a better version of themselves, but don’t want to do the work to be that person themselves. They just seem to think they can absorb qualities via dating a better person or something, it’s bizarre.

basically most of my relationships ended because she refused to do the work to improve her life, and wanted me to do it for the both of us.

100%

Plus a lot of very attractive people who get lots of attention have zero clue what it’s like to be an average person who gets little to none. And they all think they ‘are just average’. Or that other people should just ‘make more of an effort’. Wealth has a lot to do with it too. Ask a welathy person for dating advice and they will just tell you go out and drop five figures out the latest fashionable designer outfits… which isn’t viable for the person of an average wealth who is only spending like a grand or two a year on clothing.

Things are privileges because you don’t know you have them. And pretty people are clueless about how they are treated and assume everyone else gets their level of interest.

Interesting to whom?

A lot of us have interests and interesting lives, but unless those interests carrying social currency in your data demographic, they aren’t going to make you attractive. e.g. I don’t like travel very much, and it’s the #1 thing women in my area are interested in, so it makes me very undesirable. They could care less about my interests in literature and art, because it isn’t anything they can use to boast about to their girlfriends.

Yeah, if you’re an atheist in the rural south, you’re not gonna have a good time.

This is good advice. The issue with modern dating is people treat other people like amazon products… they want a return/full refund over the stupidest most inconsequential shit and have ‘requirements’ that are often ridiculously rigid and superfluous. That and they want instant, zero effort gratification. During the early dates… if there is any awkwardness or imperfection… they believe this is intolerable. I’ve had dates make dinner for me and the dinner game out imperfect, but perfectly edible and good, and they harped on it so hard and broke up with me over it.

Not to mention the double standards. Sooo many people want someone who is better than them and meets standards that they don’t meet.
