It’s worse than that. I shoved it up on the curb and left. Like you see at any other store.

One time I didn’t return the cart at Aldi.

I still think about that a decade later.

Because that haunts me I always put the cart back no matter what

For those that don’t know you have to put a quarter in to use a cart and you get it back when you put it away which means there are never stray carts anywhere. People want their money back.

That must mean anon also listens to Luigi

I’m doing my small part.

Went from 100% lurker on Reddit to regularly active lemmy commenter

This is why I don’t update Nvidia drivers unless there’s a fix I need. If it’s stable, that’s all I want.

It’s called the paradox of tolerance. You cannot tolerate intolerance

There’s also Wire

E2EE and can be used as desktop or phone app interchangeably. No phone number required for signup.

Family has been using this for years now

But how do you know if it’s censored 🤔

Right?

Came here to say fake and gay but damn, that last line changes everything

I pay for kagi because it’s genuinely less frustrating to use than searxng, duckduckgo, bing, and whatever shit Google is up to these days.

They’re fine search engines but after years of using them I found they annoyed me sometimes; their limitations will surface if you use them long enough. In contrast, I haven’t ran into a kagi search results page yet that has annoyed me by not finding what I expected to see.

The problem is that Google was good for a long time and then that became the bar everything is measured against. None of the free ones I tried came as close to that Google-like search from the before times as this paid service does.

Nice

I like to live dangerously

Same principle of going in for the belly rub on my cat.

The risk is worth the reward

I think you’re overestimating the influence of doomscrolling, internet and politics in the scope of needing meds to feel baseline, but it definitely plays a part.

Those things, broadly speaking, are somewhat transient unless said politics directly affect your safety or rights to live life, or of those you care about. This applies to a lot of people.

Now I’m retired at age 55. My house is paid off. I have no debt. Live in a beautiful mountain city of 500,000 people. I have chickens in my backyard

now I just fuck around on Lemmy all day, write and publish my fiction, and take trips with my gf.

This is more in line with why many in my cohort are struggling. Your situation is out of reach for most of us now because of a whole lot of economic reasons outside of our control. The singular person being able to side hustle their way to a house with backyard chickens and money for vacations is a win no doubt, but also the exception to the rule.

Lifting our noses off the grindstone and looking at the horizon shows a future without hope of any of this changing. Too much stacked against us.

And for lots of other long term reasons. One off the top of my head, the microplastics accumulating in our bodies. That’s definitely going to be a problem.

My point is that a lot of people would be well served by not worrying so fucking much about the state of politics and the world at large

The cliff notes version is that people are surviving, not living. You are living.

You should enjoy the fruits of your labor, truly. Just be aware your path isn’t one we can follow anymore

You will find that there are lots of folks these days that have trouble coping with the collective stress of a bleak present and future.

Meds just help us feel closer to normal so we can function instead of having a nervous breakdown every other week.

I’m a little envious that you have the resiliency and coping mechanisms outside of meds to deal with it all

All babies looks ugly to me

Yeah this is in line with how I see babies and kids, so that’s gonna explain some of it. It’s definitely an unwritten rule to say babies are cute.

Though my cousin had a couple kids and the youngest was the exception to the rule when he was like 2-6, just the cutest little thing.

So I don’t know.

It goes a step beyond for me.

I look at kid pictures of myself and think I was an ugly looking baby. Everyone else thinks I was cute. Which I take to mean everyone is being polite, but I couldn’t care less because I don’t remember being that kid whatsoever.

Let’s be real, anon would be back in his cave within the first week. You don’t go 2 decades of not lifting a finger to being a hard worker no matter what the pay is

Jesse, we need to produce more Balenciaga

Thanks for the heads up, though this would be less of an issue if you have the email app on your phone or the tab pinned in Firefox.

The real issue is i gotta use another authentication app for my email now, have been using Bitwarden itself for 2fa codes for proton. Definitely can’t use proton pass to 2fa for my proton account.

I don’t even know. Gonna have to find another reputable authenticator app.

Guess I should also check if Bitwarden or proton support physical security keys. Would be pretty bomb proof since my keys are always in my pocket anyway.
