Exactly. No one gets to the point of not maintaining basic living standards when they’re raised in an environment of excess, stability, and choice. You get to that level when you’ve either never experienced anything other, or been beaten down enough to realize it’s pointless. Hell, I’d go as far as to say every thing living has the drive to get up and at least survive and procreate. They shut down and stop wasting energy when that seems impossible.

I completely disagree. I think most people want to do something, but they don’t have the means and opportunity to do a thing that fulfills them. I fucking HATE having a job. Coming to a place every day to do the same thing, it kills my motivation to do ANYTHING. The only reason I have one is to eat and to do the things I WANT to do. Usually pretty productive things, such as gardening, programming, repairs.
Those are all productive things. Things I COULD earn money for, but then they become work. I have to do them to survive, and so I no longer find the joy in doing them. If I could do them and not have to worry about bills being paid, I would by all accounts be a more productive member of society.
I don’t think people are all that fundamentally different. We have some differences in preference, but when you get down to the basics the majority of people are pretty similar. Some will fall through the cracks or abuse the system, but by and large no one WANTS to be useless. That’s a learned trait.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL “sleet” does not have the same meaning in all English speaking countriesEnglish
0·6 个月前Hail is precip that has been able to repeatedly rise and fall on air currents, building up in size. What they’re referring to as sleet is essentially just crunchy snow in size and texture.
My personal experience trumps your personal experience!
This is the problem. We’re all so keen to talk, and not to listen. You’re old enough to have fucked dude’s Grandma? Congratulations you lived in a different world.
Give em a few generations, they’ll learn.
Nice comparison. Clearly smearing feces on yourself requires the same level of forethought and financial burden that getting multiple tattoos does.
I’m not even commenting on her taste, or yours. Just the juvenile declaration that she somehow does not care, when she’s investing as much time and money into her looks as she has.
As far as tastes go, yours are as valid as hers are, I’d just choose a less inflammatory way to say you disagree with someone’s taste.
Someone who puts that much effort into their outward expression of themselves clearly cares about how they look. You just have misaligned tastes.
That’s just like, your opinion, man.
As someone who loves parentbeticals (and ellipses, asides, and similar) holy crap that hurt to read hahah
That’s either an SSRI or an SNRI.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Feature Denuvo & Account LinkingEnglish
1·2 年前Denuvo is also subscription based. It’ll be pulled off the game eventually. I can wait.
I love that elsewhere, someone says anon should have taken more showers, then we have “stinky” with this insightful post.
I don’t think it’s anything more than coincidence, but it makes my brain feel good.
Turns out, engaging with the hypothetical creates more interesting discussion than saying “fake” and nothing else.
Like spray them with water? Sure, if they’re in the sink or on the counter. If you mean just swat them away, I wouldn’t trust that to kill them. And as soon as it doesn’t kill them, and they find their way back to the nest, there’s a chance they’ll lead others back, if they found so much as a scrap of food.
“ma’am, the penis’s owner, you, literally told me to put a condom on it. Not sure how much more consent I could have.”
Look, if they wanna stay alive, they can take a shower.
Spider Bros can stay. Ants too stinky.
You know, I feel like I know that smell as well. Not anywhere NEAR as pungent as the ant smell, but I’ve been in some… Unfortunate situations with enough roaches that I can conjure up that smell.
Like, killing them? One or two running across a table, and you just pop em?






I have not bought a Sony console since the PlayStation 2. I’ve “missed” a fair few games already. The ones that end up worth playing always seem to make their way to PC eventually.
