I imagine they could if they knew exactly what you did and when, but if it doesn't get discovered until later and nobody knows what happened, it would probably be a bitch to figure out

Basically (and I'm not an expert here), the Uber rich get tax free spending money without taking big taxable salaries by leveraging their assets for super low interest loans. Current tax codes don't consider these loans as taxable income, but they're being used for the same things us peasants use our income for. By considering these cash flows as taxable, billionaires wouldn't be able to hide behind the "it's net worth not liquid income" bullshit these use to dodge taxes.

What I'm getting from reading these responses is that exercise can alleviate some of the crushing effects of depression, but because it's difficult and time consuming, you'll need a better reason for it than just "I'm suppose to" otherwise you'll just be making your life harder and creating an unhealthy relationship with exercise.

Everybody has to fight through the first few months to genuinely create a good workout habit, but if you start small (such as a 20 minute walk 3-4 days a week), you'll be able to ease into the really good stuff without so much hardship. The plan is to be working out for life, so what's the rush?

I believe the army created negative associations in me about exercise, since they used it as punishment and I always had the anxiety of my next PT test hanging over my head. It took a few years to disentangle myself from those connections and begin working out the way I wanted to and really seeing the results I was looking for. Now, after ~5 years of very frequent exercise, I'm finally getting to the point where I feel like it's a net positive to my mental health.

Seriously, I ordered a steam controller right before they were discontinued, and got a refund :(

That's kinda where I was sitting when I got the dlc. I had played thousands of hours and was moving my way into factorio and satisfactory. I bought biotech bc I loved rimworld, but I've not even finished an entire playthrough since.

You could certainly make the argument that reddit / Lemmy and anything similar is social media, but the anonymity means you aren't seeing or competing with people you know.

Idk, maybe I'm just coping, but I've never felt the need to do anything performative for the masses of internet strangers - unlike some friends of mine who studiously document anything fun we do for the ever important task of impressing people on Instagram.

Whenever the negative effects of social media come up, it tends to be about people comparing their "boring" lives with the carefully crafted veneer of other people's lives they see on social media. That doesn't happen (as much) when you don't use your identity and you don't know anybody else on the platform.

Early 20's here with 65y/o parents 👋

Thinking back to my middle school days, it's entirely possible there janitor never rollerskated on the roof, the administration had no plans to fire him, but the students were still prowling around threatening violence over it 🤣

I agree that live games are a problem, and helldivers 1 had an offline option, but Helldiver's 2 being always online is better executed than any other live games I've seen. And, their servers have been needed up significantly since Friday.

“when they think you’re gross”

How can I know if someone thinks I’m gross if I haven’t spoken to them yet? I should just assume I’m gross, always?

I live in the middle of a sprawling wind farm. Every direction I turn, I can see wind turbines looking ominously over my neighbor's houses. It's awesome, and way more interesting than the hundreds of square miles of corn fields they otherwise occupy.

I think the main issue with air tag stalking is somebody else slipping their own air tags into your car, purse, backpack, etc to always know where you are

Probably because hangover severity increases exponentially as you age. A 16 year old can knock back 20 shots in a night and basically die, but wake up with no hangover.

A 40 year old can drink 3 beers and spend 2 days recovering.

Extreme examples yes, but the younger you are the less you have to worry about hangovers and how to prevent / manage them.

Just in case anybody doesn't know, if you're a US or Canada veteran, solidworks is $20 a year

I think OSINT, Open-source intelligence, would be more akin to trolling on social media. They're the ones who crawl through Instagram and shit to ID Russian soldiers locations when they post selfies and the likes.

Fortnight absolutely kicked off the battle Royale phase of recent years. PUBG was coming into it's own at the same time, but is a more hardcore experience so it didn't get the viral boom. Fortnight being free to play and fairly casual put wind in it's sails like Minecraft had, every kid everywhere played it.

My cats sit by the vents in the morning, the furnace kicks on at 0600

Oh-zero-hundred or zero-hundred if we gotta. Generally… Midnight lol
