Uh, no. I had no idea that the phone had issues. You are the kind of person I'm alluding to in the post.

None of what we speak today is "proper English." Languages are constantly evolving.

It kind of made me want to upload a video of me typing with 5 fingers to really piss off the touch-typing purists.

I cannot imagine piling on someone for occasionally typing a middle key with the "wrong" hand. It doesn't harm anyone in any way.

The trend of treating SERVICES like they need to bring a profit rather than simply provide an essential service is extremely frustrating. At this rate, even the mail service will be whittled away until everything is privatized.

Basically every user that has comments that end with two emojis like this is a bot. Originally they existed to drive traffic to TEMU subs, but since Reddit banned those subs they've become harder to spot. I think the spammers just forgot to turn off their bot farm.

Way ahead of you, energy has already been nationalized here for a long time.

Yeah, the documentary may be gory, but the site itself is absolutely fine. I don't think this was fair.

It takes 76% less land for us to just eat plants, rather than to grow them to feed to animals that we then in turn eat. Really amazing how inefficient it is.

Non-paywall link

"Fishing nets account for 46 percent of the trash [within the Great Pacific Garbage Patch], with the majority of the rest composed of other fishing industry gear, including ropes, oyster spacers, eel traps, crates, and baskets."

If you still eat seafood, please consider cutting it out completely.

I'm really thankful for it, so thank you for pushing back. One of the biggest reasons I chose Lemmy over Kbin was the lack of overall user score. I'm fine with posts and comments having a score — it sort of helps one determine what is and isn't good content for a community, or what might not be good advice — but summing those up on your user profile only leads to weird score measuring contests and a sort of "number go up" addictive cycle. Thank you also for giving us the ability to hide scores if we don't want to see them.

Capitalism doesn't set your value as a human being.

[-] inasaba@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

You can't replace a close friend with some random person. Individuals have value in them regardless of their ability to do labour, and they are not replaceable as individuals.

It's really sad how much buy-in there is to the dehumanization of people here.

In a capitalist world, it can be hard to remember this. But despite what you are pressured to think, your value as a person does not come through what material value you create for others.

And to quote /u/anachronic: "Simple living is a state of mind, not a zip code."

Sure, you can move to a cheaper place, an off-grid cabin or you can move another country. You can live in a rental or a van on the road, or a small house in a backyard.

But at the end of the day, every move you make isn't going to give you a simple life unless you can create one right now for yourself. You still need to find food, most of us still need jobs (though maybe not as stressful), and all of us need a safe place to live. You need to learn how to navigate what you have now, in a simple way.

I think many of us overlook the fact that you can create a simple life for yourself wherever you live, right now. Moving can solve a few problems (the cost of property sometimes), but thinking that moving will solve everything and create that simple life is wrong. You can get it. It's right in front of you. No moving required. Start where you are. With social media it's all too easy to think that moving to Bali, or living in a tiny house or ran will fix everything. It won't. There's just different work involved, different complications. Nothing is a given.

Part of simplicity is using what you have right in front of you. Live in a condo with too much stuff, downsize your stuff. Stressed from your job, get a less stressful job. Finding you lack human connection, find new friends. It's doable.
