I love being fucked. Being raped, not so much.

Damn. I never thought about it like that. You're right, but at the same time I see Lemmy way more focused on important matters we should pay attention to. With actual discussion within, not just bullshit bots slinging nonsense to steer the conversations. Granted lemmy def leans a certain way depending on where you are but it's mostly what the majority is already thinking. They may have fucked themselves in that aspect. Driving us to be more centralized with less noise to interfere. Idk, but good point.

Meh, personally I only care if I missed a call, got a text, or an email. Only need 3 colors for that. Miss my Nexus 6 so much now...

I was also 6. I received California Games on Nintendo. It has a barcode. I thought, "what the hell does Santa need a barcode for?" Mom tried to tell me the elves couldn't make video games and I was like yeah right, you fucking bought that.

Plus the whole, "why the long face.." and whatnot. Show is deep.

One could even say a friend

Yeah but it's very clearly had a huge negative effect on this person. They "can't make it" 20 hours without constant stimulation. Being scared of not having to use your brain to entertain yourself is a frightening prospect for me.

Damn I just heard he was sick last night.

Wife and I both got covid over the weekend. Very mild though, mostly just low energy levels and a sore throat.
