I’m honestly shocked that you have to ask someone if you can trust him.

He is without a doubt the least trustworthy person on the entire planet. Even less so than Putin i would say.

Humans are the product of their environment, and the younger you are, the more affected you will be.

If I put you in the rain forest with animals and plants and shamans, you would absolutely start to calm down and start to listen to people and become much calmer with time. Since the entire energy of the place is calm.

But if you sit in front of phones and computers on social media, where you have this constant energy of consuming content you forget a day later, your brain will start to be unable to think and focus after a while. It will feel stressful to listen to someone who talks even, because it’s not fast enough.

“battle through”. :)

I feel like you are young… Im more like the old soldier who is tired of fighting, and going into retirement.

My least favorite day is Monday because it all starts again, the week, from the beginning, just like it has 750 times before in the last 15 work years. It’s really getting old by now.

Yep I was thinking the same. I guess it’s a generational thing. Instagram is maybe like water to some young people, can’t be without it or life is sad.

I think a lot of unhappy people would exit the simulation… :)

Then rich can afford to protect themselves, we can’t. We lose in that conflict. Whatever freedoms you think you have now will be restricted in a society where the rich are worried about their safety.

They don’t lose anything. In fact, I bet it’s even convenient for them to have reasons to build cages around everyone. Lots of money in building survellience, tracking people, spying on people.

The initial state of that has begun with Google but it’s not going to end. Decades from now, it’s possible that people will envy that previous generations could use the internet without identifying themselves, or go into buildings without a retina scan.

Link doesn’t work. Probably it’s a scam/hack attempt.

Frostpunk 2 is about politics. I hated it and don’t play it at all. It’s not even similar to the first amazing game. You may be disappointed unless you like politics.

I hope they ended up with miserable lives. But I don’t know.

Probably for the best. Most of us die if there is a nuclear war, so just don’t even think about it. But live your life now.

I don’t think the world can prioritize something and the threat will go away.

I’m thinking I have 20 more years of being in working condition, so I’m planning to work less and travel more from next year already. Using my savings.

I don’t dare to wait until I’m 65 to do all those things. Many people get sick and don’t do anything.

You are describing me. :)

And yeah, I’m happy with my timeline. If anything, I would move it back even more. Born in the 60s would open up for a lot of cool stuff in the 70s.

It’s not a war at all actually. More like social media keyboard warriors needing something to do on their phones. :)

I understand though. We all feel powerless and it’s nice to upvote stuff that makes us feel like something is changing.

People trust it because scientists make a model. They don’t think about that the model makes many assumptions and if any assumption is wrong, it fails.

When I was a kid, they said entire California would end up in the sea within a few years, since it’s on a earthquake fault line.

That was 1990. :)

Always bring umbrella when it rains in shower.

I played poker with my girlfriend. Watched fireworks for maybe 10 minutes.

Don’t worry so much what everyone else is doing. I also don’t drink on new years eve.

The public is full of people who do what they are told by our culture. You can choose to follow or not. :)

Pathetic would be to go out and hate it, just because you are afraid of what others will think if you don’t.

I actually think there is a reason to celebrate that we made it another year…it doesn’t seem so obvious we will anymore. Will we make it through 2025 too?

Oh yes, they must be very private.

It’s become much more moderated and controlled. I think reddit is actually less controlled. I’m seeing conversations about Swedish immigration that would never be allowed on Lemmy.

On the other hand, I saw that Luigi was not allowed to be mentioned in Reddit now in some subreddit… So… Lol.
