Seriously, they are one of the most tiresome posters. The look i'm so logically smart type, and complain about lemmy but hang out on lemmy.

first and foremost, life is long and you have time. second, you most certainly are not alone as there are many, many peeps feeling exactly as you are. technology has an isolating effect in terms of irl relationships. the porn addiction is a symptom of this and when it all just becomes meat, it makes it harder to have actual physical intimacy with another human being. third, as others have said, you are suffering from depression and then nothing feels good, that's what is known as anhedonia.

admitting something is wrong is an important first step. talking to someone and seeking treatment would be helpful if you are finding it hard to figure out on your own. the last two cents i have is slow your roll, your being and breathe. don't dismiss the little things, the small rituals and def get outside.

Keeping cell phones out of middle schoolers hands during school hours when they are meant to be learning, and contributing to a community is controlling their lives? Wow, it is no wonder people don't value teachers or education in America.

Israel’s Occupation: 50 Years of Dispossession

Tom Cotton is a disgusting cesspool of hate. Vile might be his middle name. The shit this guy has spewed from his mouth over the years.

I suspect your downvotes might be from folks misunderstanding originalism.

"a legal philosophy that the words in documents and especially the U.S. Constitution should be interpreted as they were understood at the time they were written"

It's like religion stating everything we ever needed to know was written thousands of years ago and we should just apply it like we were living in those times.

Barrett is a self-proclaimed originalist, embracing a theory of the Constitution that is also shared by at least two other sitting justices: Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.

I lol'd.

I'm an arch user myself, chose it because i wanted to get familiar with command line and force myself to learn a bit more about linux. Since choosing a DE was also paralyzing, I opted for i3 and now use sway and learned more about config files. Great part about linux is you can try and use what you like and works for you.

Right wing fundamentalist cuckoo zealots run India now.

Modi, the RSS/BJP and their supporters gave cover to the barbarism that took place in Manipur, the gang rapes, arson, murder, essentially endorsing it. They cut off the internet so nothing could get out while it unfolded.

India has gone the way of backwards ass religious authoritarianism. Even assassinating a sikh activist on Canadian soil.

This is the same FTC that challenged further supermarket consolidation. Same FTC that is challenging big tech and is wanting AI regulation. Same FTC that Apple stopped John Stewart from interviewing. Clearly this FTC bothers enough giants. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/apple-wouldnt-let-jon-stewart-interview-ftc-chair-lina-khan-tv-host-claims/

"The U.S. Chamber of Commerce vowed to sue the F.T.C. to block the proposal, calling it "an unlawful power grab" in a statement shortly after the vote."

This FTC deserves solid applause because this action is huge.

Odds against anyone being criminally charged I'm guessing.

A friends mom was snowboarding with her grandkids the year before covid. His sister, a pharmacist btw, warned their mom off the vaccine. Their mom caught covid and died. The vaccine would likely have saved her life.

Tens, no likely hundreds of thousands of people surely died due to misinformation and fear mongering.

Now measles might be making a comeback as well.
