  • I despise people that ghost others and I see it as nothing but maladaptive and sad. A person who ghosts is someone who lacks enough empathy to understand how damaging it is to others, it’s someone who lacks conflict resolution skills, who internalized Internet block / unfriend buttons in their mind as a viable way to terminate any relationship.

    When I was younger, people didn’t do this shit. I grew up without the Internet and didn’t have it until I was an adult, younger people don’t realize it, but people didn’t use to do this, and it’s hurtful and infuriating how technology has affected this aspect of human behavior.



  • It’s far more complicated than email, at least I can send an email to any valid address from any other address by default ( mostly ) - Lemmy / Fediverse is like needing multiple email addresses that each one can only email some of the others, and you might not even get the response someone sent you unless the content is literally carried back to you.

    I have multiple accounts on multiple instances, and sometimes I come across posts I read with one account, but my comments or the responses to those comments just aren’t there, so you only get a portion of what is out there.

    It’s kinda a terrible experience in that way.



  • I feel like each answer here is wrong and right.

    Literally, Nazi was a shortened version of National Socialist, and was the anglicized name for the German party that Adolf Hitler rose to power in.

    In the vernacular, Nazi is a somewhat catch all to describe various fractions and identified ideologies which the broad usage I think hurts discourse.

    Some people mean in this general way, any racist, or ethnostate advocate could be considered a Nazi, as could any racist or fascist group.

    I’m not for any of it, but the fluidity of usage ends up feeling like hyperbole when someone is not a literal Nazi, or doesn’t even share Nazi values and beliefs.

    When describing our enemies, I think static definition matters, because inaccuracies can be an attack surface to dismantle arguments.



  • Honestly it ruined my life in significant, permanent ways. The social ostracization that happens by being in different settings, prevented me from learning a lot of basic socialization skills until my 20s.

    I’ve struggled my whole life to ‘catch up’ to people my age, so many of my friends are not in my exact age bracket, instead being in mid to late twenties instead of forties and most are surprised to find I’m as old as I am because I don’t look or act it.

    It took me three decades to get out of poverty and have my first career job.

    0/10 would not recommend.

    Honestly the concept of property here is just silly. Who specifically do they belong to, why, what claim, and how could such a claim exist?

    I just don’t agree with the concept, this individual doesn’t have any right to ownership regardless of whether his specific family owned it at some point prior, but most likely a direct relative doesn’t even own it, just someone with his self same ‘race’ ( which race doesn’t really exist either tbh, not genetically anyway, but exists as a social construct ).

    I just despise this mentality. I don’t own anything collectively with anyone of my ‘race’, neither their achievements nor shames, and same for even direct relatives.

    There is not enough generic diversity in humans to even prop up the idea of race beyond being a cultural construct, it’s time to stop seeing our fellow humans as something other.


  • Souls games aren’t hard if you can slow down, observe, and be patient. Exception might be Dark Souls 3, but the original and Dark Souls, and Dark Souls 2 reward thoughtful, methodical, and cautious play.

    Dark Souls 3 however is too fast paced for me, it changed the formula too much. Bloodborne is more approachable, but still fast.

    Elden Ring is the perfect balance.

    Sekiro is for masochists with a good sense of rhythm.
