I’m interested to hear more about how you worked through your husbands affair, if you’re open to talking about it

I'd add to that to avoid loud noises because tinnitus is a pig. But he'd just say "get lost fuddy-duddy!"

- How long do you want to live?
- What do you feel about the legacy of your generation?
I'm 54 and people are constantly surprised when I tell them that I expect to have, max, 20 years left and that I'm not interested in doing a bunch of stuff to prolong it.

At 40, I am convinced that we cosplay as adult characters to hide our inner child, mostly from ourselves. Some seem to allow the stresses of life and responsibilities to make the mask indistinguishable, but I doubt any truly make it real. Do you wear the mask of age over the eyes of your inner child? Does age hold a meaningful value to you beyond the comradery of shared experience?

Do you occasionally play videogames ? I'm asking because my parents are younger than you (they are in their early 60s) and tech literate but for some reason it never clicked with them, nor did "internet culture". Like, I would be extremely surprised if one day they started expressing interest in stuff like Reddit (let alone Lemmy) and I'm trying to understand why. So I guess my followup question is how did you get into Reddit ?

What were the 1980s like compared to the 1970s? Unrelated to my last question, of all the decades you have experienced, which decade was the best/peak decade overall, in your opinion (and a little about why)?

Lots of millennials & outside of the US feel the same. Especially seeing the effects of modern tech on societies too I yearn for simpler times. It's sad because you'd think they'd solve so many of our problems, make us globally more informed, but the opposite kinda happened. Everyone's in their own disinformation safe space / bubble and radicalizes themselves further, causing everyone to just drift further and further apart. Class clown type people become annoying menaces and stream to a clout of equally annoying people, further reinforcing their behavior and pushing them to become more and more extreme for their perverse entertainment. Everyone throws a camera in people's faces the moment they feel like it. Institutions push for more and more mass surveillance methods and idiots feed the same models through TicTok, Instagram and other superficial media.

What's weird is looking back on it, most of the fears were hysteria.
I think the biggest real impacts on American lives (aside from having to think about/discuss the war) were increased security at airports and increased gas prices.
Looking back, it's incredible how little effect the attack and war had on Americans who didn't let it affect them.
If information and discussion was as easily accessible as it is now, perhaps people would not have been so afraid of what they did not know then.

Okay, cool. I live very close to Switzerland (close enough that my wife works there.) As I am also an anglophone living in a non-anglophone country, Lemmy is basically my sole source of English language news and whatnot. It's sometimes very difficult to be surrounded by another language and culture, and this place has become my escape in a way. Reddit was great back in the day, but I can no longer support the enshitification it has suffered.

Love of two is one.
Here,
but now they're gone.
Came the last night of sadness,
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open, and the wind appeared.
The candles blew, and then disappeared.
The curtains flew, and then he appeared.
(Saying, "Don't be afraid")
Come on, baby.
(And she had no fear)
And she ran to him.
(Then they started to fly)
They looked backward, and said goodbye
(She had become like they are)
She had taken his hand.
(She had become like they are)
Come on, baby.
(Don't fear the reaper)
Burn bright.
May we all (re)turn into stars with the lost loved ones.

I envy you.
A good friend told me her mum was similar always stay at home. She briefly got a job at Sears about 40 years ago and quit "because it was getting in the way of my life".

So you see like 4 posts a day? These tools don't fix any problems around little content. I can be in here maybe a half hour before I'm getting 2-3 porn posts for every repeat or news from languages I cannot read.
nnullzz 3 points 2 years ago
Well a NSFW filter exists for a reason. Since enabling it, I literally get none of it on any feed.
And like I said, my Home Screen and subscriptions are catered to topics I enjoy that show none of the shitty news. Sure maybe tech articles or stuff like that, but no doom and gloom. I get to see plenty of fresh content. Also depends on what sort setting you use.
And frankly, if I’m scrolling for anywhere near half an hour, it’s time for me to get up and do something productive for myself.

Mate, you're the guy who called the ban on menthol cigs a "nanny state" move that causes the rise of "fascists". You're literally part of the problem.
thanks for using Leebra!
