  • Housing is the thing most exploding in cost.

    About half the population already owns a home so they’re immune to this problem.

    The other half is just moving to shittier and shittier conditions and living with roommates and family members.

    Plus this is a very regional problem. Housing in shithole flyover places is still somewhat affordable.

    If everything went up five times in price over the last 20 years then it might be a better argument for saying we’re in a depression.


  • Here are the subs I used to go to…

    • Askgaybros - Doesn’t exist on the fediverse
    • Gaybros - exists but barely gets one post per day
    • Politics - I’m banned because of my username, but plenty of subscribers. Interestingly I can’t figure out how to contact a moderator to get unbanned. The information page doesn’t list who the moderators are. I had a similarly “offensive” name on Reddit for a decade and never got banned from r/politics
    • askreddit - plenty of subscribers on Lemmy
    • Android - plenty of subscribers on Lemmy
    • Linux - plenty of subscribers on Lemmy
    • Economics - maybe a post or two a day

    When I go back to Reddit, on desktop, all of those are operating as they normally do, with no perceptible change on the amount of posts.


  • There’s two problems…

    1. There is no easy to use singular Reddit replacement. (The fediverse is not easy to use to normal people.)

    2. Reddit is such a large social media site now that all the nerds getting angry and leaving doesn’t matter. 10 years ago this change would have killed Reddit, but now that normal people like my mom are on Reddit they don’t give a shit about using the official Reddit app, in fact they were probably already using it.

    I have a picture with Joel McHale.

    If Joel McHale turned out to run an international child sex trafficking ring would my picture with him indicate that I was part of the ring?

    I HATE Elon, but this whole…

    “See see see! There is a picture of them both at the NYC 9/11 Firefighters Fundraiser event in 2009!!! <Insert celebrity here that was at the event and pictured with Maxwell or Epstein> must also be a Satan worshipping child rapist/murderer.”

    Thing is fucking stupid.




  • Just sort of giving up on life in my late teens and doing nothing.

    I just go to work and go home.

    I don’t have any friends, don’t have sex, don’t have any hobbies (besides video games), didn’t go to college. I’m very very obese.

    If it wasn’t for my family acting as my social life and giving me stuff to do I probably would have killed myself by now. I have some friends online that I play videogames with.

    (Yeah I’ve tried therapy and SSRIs/Wellbutrin and gotten my thyroid levels checked and testosterone.)
